From what some manufacturers have shared, wood plays a crucial role as a primary material in the construction industry. Due to the many types of wood available, and the varying properties of each, careful selection is necessary.
Commonly used types include cedar, pine, and elm. Taking cedar as an example, it is characterized by good quality, straight wood grain, uniform structure, light and tough texture, and moderate strength. Its inherent aroma provides insect and decay resistance. It's primarily used to make plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particleboard. Pine furniture is also a prevalent type on the market, categorized into Masson pine and Siberian pine. Masson pine has straight or obliquely uneven grain, and a medium to coarse structure. However, it is prone to warping and cracking during drying, is not decay-resistant, and has poor paint and glue adhesion. Siberian pine, on the other hand, is stronger, with clearer grain and better wood quality. Therefore, its applications are far wider than Masson pine, and it has received consistent user recognition.

Western red cedar is the highest grade preservative wood in North America. It is also suitable for high-humidity environments such as saunas, bathrooms and kitchens, and is used to make cabinets, wardrobes, etc., which are cockroach and insect-proof. Red cedar has excellent stability, a long lifespan, and is not easily deformed. Its excellent preservative ability comes from a naturally occurring class of alcohols known as Thujaplicins; in addition, a naturally occurring acidic substance called Thujic acid, extractable from red cedar, ensures that the wood is not attacked by insects, eliminating the need for artificial preservation and pressure treatment. Western red cedar, due to its lack of chemical treatment and its purely natural characteristics, is very popular in the global market.

What type of preservative wood should we choose for outdoor flooring?
Preservative-treated wood is processed with preservatives. Consumers are most concerned about the potential harm of preservatives to the human body and how to choose safer preservative treatments. Early preservative-treated wood used CCA-C, B wood preservatives, which, while having some toxicity, posed relatively little risk due to their outdoor use only. Currently, ACQ-D, C, B wood preservatives are available. Preservative-treated wood processed with this preservative meets environmental standards and has significantly reduced toxicity. Consumers can purchase with confidence.
