The advantages of industrial wood in interior design

Not only is it cheap, industrial wood is also diverse in materials, colors and has many outstanding advantages over natural wood in interior design. Industrial wood is now widely used around the world, because natural wood sources are increasingly scarce. However, industrial wood is favored by its own advantages.

The advantages of industrial wood in interior design

According to Architect (Architect) Tran Anh Tung, industrial wood has 5 outstanding advantages over natural wood. First, this type of wood is less prone to warping and cracking than natural wood. Industrial wood also has expansion and contraction, but it is almost a homogeneous structure, so it is limited to warping and cracking.

Moreover, according to Architect Tung, industrial wood has many surface finishing options. Homeowners can choose to cover with melamine, laminate to have textures like pine, eucalyptus, walnut, oak… or even metal and leather textures. Using these coatings is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also provides excellent scratch resistance.

If the homeowner likes the gloss, they can choose acrylic plywood. This sticker has a high gloss, but it has poor fingerprint and scratch resistance. In addition, homeowners can also cover the surface with PU, UV or other paints.

With a series of above advantages, Tung said that industrial wood is more diverse than natural wood in terms of color, shape and expression. Even some types of grain that natural wood does not have.

In addition, in construction, industrial wood also has advantages with large panels measuring 1.2 x 2.4 m or larger than 1.6 x 2.8 m. These dimensions give the cabinet doors a seamless flat design. While with natural wood, if using such a large panel, the cost is very high and few people can access it.

Moreover, according to architect Tran Anh Tung, industrial wood is cheaper than natural wood that has been properly and sufficiently dried. Because natural wood wants to be beautiful, durable and user-friendly, it has to be expensive. “There are dining sets, the money for cleaning the table top is about 40-50 million dong,” Tung said.

The final advantage according to this architect is that industrial wood limits the penetration of termites better than natural wood. Because natural wood is covered, but because it is easy to crack and warp, bacteria and termites can easily penetrate.

“Meanwhile, industrial wood, if properly processed and glued, will not show the core. Insects will only find the wood core instead of the outer covering of the laminate,” Tung said. .

With the above advantages, industrial wood is being used very popularly in interior design today. Even, it appears in most families with many different shapes and gradually replaces natural wood.
