The Use Of Wood For Construction And Other Purposes Is Seeing A New Beginning

Trees form an intrinsic and an important part of nature. In the ancient and even in the  medieval times various cultures worshipped trees for all the benefits that man accrued from them. Trees were placed at a higher pedestal and considered holy by the men in those times. But the modern times has seen this reverence for trees degrade to an abysmal level. Particularly in the western society where during the years of the industrial revolution hundred and thousands of years old trees were felled by millions to cater to the burgeoning requirements of the industries. But over the past few decades particularly since the 1970's a new phenomenon has emerged. The reclaimed wood is becoming more popular with the architects as well as the designers and other people for construction and other purposes.

The reclaimed wood is the wood obtained from the long standing idle buildings such as the factories, mills as well as the barns. The reclaimed wood has many advantages over the fresh green wood. It is durable, robust, has a patina and character as well as is economical. The use of this type of wood has had a very positive effect on the environment as it has drastically cut down the felling of trees for fresh wood.
