Log And Usage Areas
The collection of trees that are grown regularly and expensively by human hands and labor is called cultural forest. Ornamental trees can be grown in cultural forests, as well as trees that can meet the needs of the industry. When these trees are cut for need, the trunk that comes out with its branches and bark is called a log. When the bark and branches of the logs are cut and chipped, logs are obtained. Logs are used for many purposes in their pure or processed form in nature. Timber is also produced when the logs are cut in various sizes to be used for different purposes.
Logs are produced from trees such as beech, Scotch pine, red pine, oak and larch. It is one of the highest value products among forest products. Logs are used in the manufacture of construction timber and pallet boards, and are also used to build log houses in tree house construction. Since the natural form of the tree is preserved in log houses and the overlapping bark structure in the middle axis part is not damaged, it provides a great advantage in terms of high strength, durability and resistance to fire situations, since external factors cannot reach these parts. Log houses are more affordable and visually pleasing than normal houses. In addition, since log houses are environmentally friendly, they also contribute to recycling. They are more affordable than concrete houses. Log houses are also more durable in terms of durability. It is possible to see a hundred-year-old log house. Log houses with many advantages reflect the warmth of the tree. Log houses provide a much stronger heat and sound insulation compared to steel, reinforced concrete and stone building materials due to their cellular structures. Log house walls do not absorb heat, but rather reflect it. Therefore, while the ideal temperature is 22 in a reinforced concrete house, 18 degrees in a log house is sufficient. In concrete structures that have not been heated for a long time, the heating of the house is approximately 6 hours, while it is possible to heat the log house in 1 hour. This feature is very advantageous especially in holiday homes that are used only on weekends for a limited period of time. Log houses are the ideal choice for a house that has a warm environment both visually and physically, resistant to earthquakes and external factors.
The walls in solid log houses are electrostatically and electromagnetically neutral, so they do not cause additional radiation like concrete walls, and they also provide a great advantage by absorbing the radiation emitted by electronic devices, mobile phones, wireless internet devices in the interior area. Considering the harms of technology, this is a great positive factor for human health.
Wood, which is the main material of the Woodworking Industry, has been in the service of humanity through the years of Alor Forest Products, and has had a wide range of uses, especially after technical and technological developments.
