STRUCTURAL MATERIALS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE
Long, wooden architecture was limited by the lengths of solid wood beams. Date revolution of the 60s, with the advent of new materials from progress in the technology of adhesives.
Both technical and ecological
Manufacturers today have a wide range of composite materials and laminated bonded high performance as resistance range :
- glulam,
- cons-bonded
- LVL
- wood bladed (Parallam - trademark)
- I-beam
- Solid wood reconstituted
- sandwich panels
- wood composites
- wood-cement panels
Whatever works (bridges, public buildings, collective or individual housing ...), it is now possible to replace steel and concrete materials very consumers of fossil fuels, wood materials by recognized environmental qualities . Aesthetics, lightness and durability more!
Technical performance and aesthetic
The industry panel has also benefited from new technologies. In interior design, fibreboard, flakes or particles offer many advantages:
- they are economic (made from sawmill waste)
- they work easily
- they offer a wide variety of aspects (possible veneers, curved shapes, finishes varied)
- they may receive numerous treatments (fireproof, waterproof, anti-graffiti ...)
These composites have long suffered from a bad reputation. Performance (strength, aesthetics, ease of assembly, durability), however, are now recognized by architects and designers who have made a fantastic tool to express their creativity.
The raw panels are even valued in the interior design and materials are part of "trend".
Frédéric Ruyant Designer (Paris)
"Our creations regularly implement the MDF , the agglomerates, the particle board ... Their qualities are multiple workability and assembly, flatness, lightweight materials, durability in time.
Interior design, we also appreciate the glued laminated and plywood panels birch and beech that avoid stomp of songs: the edges of the panels are aesthetic. These are materials economic that leave a lot of freedom in creativity.'
