Древесина является самым древним строительным материалом. По сравнению со стальным брусом он легче, дешевле, проще в обработке, а его механические свойства хорошие. С другой стороны, древесина имеет определенные недостатки. Во-первых, он горит и поэтому не подходит для огнестойких зданий. Во-вторых, он разлагается.

Сеголня количество древесины используется для огромного числа целей. В строительстве также используется древесина.

Древесина - это название, применяемое к материалу, полученному из деревьев. Древесина, используемая для строительных целей, делится на две группы: хвойные и лиственные. Древесина лиственных пород используется главным образом в декоративных целях, например, для облицовки мебели, а некоторые из них выбраны для структурного использования из-за их высокой прочности и долговечности. В современном строительстве древесина часто используется для оконных и дверных рам, напольных покрытий, заборов и ворот, настенных панелей, для временных построек и неокрашенных внутренних деревянных конструкций.

Древесина не может быть использована ни для работы плотников, ни для столярных работ сразу же после ее вырубки из-за большого количества сока, который в ней содержится. Устранение этой влаги увеличивает прочность, долговечность и упругость древесины.
