Repair of apartments using wood.
When planning future repairs in the apartment, in addition to purely pragmatic issues, such as replacing the old electrical wiring and plumbing, improving sound insulation and others, any person is also thinking about stylistic aspects, about how the rooms transformed by the repair will look like. And the choice of interior, in turn, directly affects the repair itself. And the selection of materials and tools for the finishes depends on how exactly the design will look like.
In the last two to three decades, various options for decorating apartments by natural wood, as an echo of fashion for a healthy lifestyle and a widespread enthusiasm for ecology, have become very popular. Albeit dictated by the initially “conjunctural considerations”, this design of the interior of the apartments was extremely beautiful, and with proper quality of repair work, it is reliable and extremely durable (and really healthy).
Before proceeding to repair, it is important to decide where and what the tree will be used. Whether only doors and windows will be made from it, partially laid out the flooring or, on the contrary, the whole apartment will take the form of stylistic unity. After all, the construction industry does not stand still and now a tree can both “put on” walls (using wall decorative panels), and choose almost all the furniture for the house made of this noble material.
As for the issue of wood species, it all depends only on personal preferences, on which particular interior designer is chosen by the owner of the apartment. However, the tips about the nuances of a particular breed are unlikely to be superfluous.
Oak, beech and nuts are rightly attributed to elite materials, known for their strength and long service life. Using them for flooring or as a tree for window frames cannot be called reasonable, but the doors and wall panels made from them always (and very, very long) will delight the eyes of everything living in the apartment.
Karelian birch, not inferior in “premium” of the above species, is most often used in the creation of furniture. Cabinets and sofas made from it back in the 20-30s of the last century did not fade at all over time and did not lose their attractive appearance.
But exotic breeds, wenge, garata and tick wood, no matter how strange it sounds, it is best to use … in the bathroom. They have simply fantastic natural indicators for moisture resistance, and with industrial processing with chemical means they acquire waterproofing and in addition.
