NATURAL PRODUCTS More and more industries appreciate the qualities of the CO2-neutral material wood. Its properties are just as versatile as its applications. But the regenerative raw material thrives on numerous individual characteristics that reflect its organic origin. Some distinctive features for the natural product wood are: Grain & Branches Grain and branches vary from wood to wood and from tree to tree. They are not a sign of inferior quality, but the fingerprint of every tree. And just as individual and variable as any human fingerprint. Colouring The natural colouring still changes after processing. UV irradiation causes natural colour changes over time. If the wood is exposed to the weather, greying occurs. Dry cracks Dry cracks and warping are caused by different densities and wood structures. They are generally permitted and are not subject to any restrictions in terms of width, length and depth. They do not affect the static properties or the thickness of the wood. Swelling & Shrinkage Swelling and shrinkage occurs due to moisture absorption and moisture release of the wood, this affects the volume. People say that "wood works". When planning, it is important to take account of these natural fluctuations. Resin outlets Resin outlets are a natural feature of conifers. Removing them is easy - By carefully scraping and grinding the surfaces, the visible traces of resin can be easily eliminated. Blueing During warm and humid climate conditions, wood can be infested with blue stain. This is not damaging the wood, but merely is an optical change. Rough spots Rough spots in the wood are sometimes unavoidable due to wood fibres that run in the opposite direction. That's why we always pay attention to a particularly gentle processing. Nevertheless, unequal, rough spots are sometimes unavoidable in the case of chop cuts. Salt efflorescence Salt efflorescence develops in impregnated wood. Copper salts penetrate deep into the wood to protect it against mould and insect infestation. There may be harmless colour deposits on the surface. This is only resin, which was dyed by the salts. 5 SAWN TIMBER PLANED TIMBER SOLID WOOD PANELS ACCENT WOOD GARDEN WOOD CONSTRUCTION WOOD MULTI-PURPOSE PANELS BIOFUELS
