What are the advantages and disadvantages of wood structure?

Advantages of wood structure building:

1. It is easy to keep warm under any climatic conditions and has high energy efficiency. The thermal resistance of insulated wood frame wall is twice that of stone wall or brick wall with frame wall thickness.

These buildings are durable, and many North American residents have lived in wooden frame houses for one hundred years.

3. It is suitable for single-family houses, townhouses and community residents with one or two floors.

Disadvantages of wood structure building:

Due to the increase in the number of buildings, wood is often in short supply.

3. The beam-frame system of wood structure building is difficult to realize complex building space.
