Building with hardwoods - wood based products based on hardwoods
Abstract
Wood as a sustainable and renewable building material is gaining more and more importance and market volume. When talking about wood as a structural building product, this is usually to be equated with softwood. The use of hardwoods is currently limited to exclusive niche products. Despite the fact that certain hardwood species are already available in sufficient quantities in Austria today, the "construction wood qualties" are currently being used for other purposes, such as use in the pulp industry or energy use, due to a lack of suitable processing technologies. In the future, due to changing climatic conditions, the proportion of hardwood in Central Europe will increase significantly. In order to ultimately meet the political demand for greening in the construction industry and the associated increased use of wood as a building material, it is essential to also use hardwood as a resource for the construction industry in the medium term.
