What is Wood

Noble material born from nature, wood accompanies man since his history beginning. Its heat and its comfort kept to him a choice place in the decoration and the architecture of nowadays. The eye likes to follow the drawing of its veins, the hand to caress its polish and its softness

Wood has several real properties which are wrongly known until our days:

It is solid and reliable :
Compared to its weight, wood is the best construction materials. Judged for a long time only in its external appearance, the wood resistance is evaluated more and more according to scientific methods which make it possible to use it with an optimum level of safety and effectiveness.

Wood resists the shock:

Wood subjected to shocks or blows undergoes only unimportant  insignificant deformations not affecting its function. It also softens the shocks and causes on the objects which run up against it damage less important than a harder material.

At low temperature, wood does not become breakable whereas at high temperature, its resistance remains about intact and its volume relatively constant.
Allied with a strong capacity of thermal storage and with a coefficient of very low conductibility, these properties make of wood a moderated material under all the climates. Besides one uses it in certain buildings cooled like the cold stores, or strongly heated like the swimming pools.

Wood does not emit any radioactivity; the man does not have thus anything to fear of this material whose very weak radiations are harmonized with those of its own body.
Also let us note that wood does not completely destroy the magnetic field of the atmosphere, as it is the case for example reinforced concrete which makes live the man in a dead field.
