Modern families seldom use wood. What is the reason for reducing the use?

Now we advocate green life, not wooden furniture, because it cuts down many trees. Moreover, wooden furniture is easily corroded, which is very troublesome.

In modern times, we have always advocated maintaining ecological balance. Trees are very important air dust purifiers, and the growth period of trees is very long, so it is necessary to reduce wood products and protect trees now. Wood products are very common in ancient buildings in China. Why is it gradually decreasing now? I think wood products are very easy to be eaten by ants and other insects. It will rot and collapse after a long time, and it needs to be replaced or cleaned regularly, which is very troublesome for modern people with fast pace of life.

Besides, with the change of life, we have building materials such as cement, steel and plastic, so wood can be replaced. Although wood products are antique and elegant, they are flammable and easy to cause fires, so the reduction of wood can enhance the safety of houses. And because of various reasons, the price of wood is very high, so considering the cost, wood is not a good choice.

Just like a wooden floor, when the air is extremely dry, it will lose water and shrink, and small cracks may appear on the surface of solid wood. In many people's minds, moistureproof and waterproof can be equated. In fact, this idea is also inaccurate. Moisture-proof products of wood products and wood substrates isolate moisture in the air, thus achieving moisture-proof effect. And some moisture-proof products on the market have no influence on the waterproof performance of wood products themselves. Practice has proved that the expansion rate of wood products coated with moisture-proof products and wood products not coated with moisture-proof products is the same when they are immersed in water at the same time. The so-called moistureproof does not mean waterproof, so the wooden floor should be coated with the moistureproof stabilizer of the wooden housekeeper.
