Why are Canadian houses made of wood?

We know that Canada and the United States are very developed regions and countries, and if you have the experience to live in Canada and the United States, we will find that more than 90 of the houses in Canada and the United States are all wood structures. Why use wood, we think wood has the characteristics of natural insulation, sustainable development, this is from nature, for nature, and then return to nature. We are not saying that wood in building materials is omnipotent, it can replace concrete or steel bar, but many developed countries, Canada, the United States, Europe, and even Japan and Taiwan, Japan has been widely used in wood construction in the past 20 years.

Because people have a profound experience after living in this wooden structure, with its experience, developers and occupants will gradually start from being relatively unfamiliar to recognizing, and then to promote it vigorously. China is a country with a long history, and the earliest buildings such as the Old Summer Palace, the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, etc., were built with wooden structures, and the forehead writing is a typical example. However, in modern history, due to the lack of wood in China, we have gradually shifted from timber buildings to concrete and steel structure buildings.

Wood construction is sustainable, and why Canada and the United States have been using wood for so many years is because they have a set of sustainable development strategies and laws and regulations.

In order to conserve resources. If you put cement, the land will basically be wasted.

It's not all made of wood, is it?

Not only Canada, but also the United States. This is related to a variety of factors such as the natural environment, resource status, housing form, population status in North America.

From the perspective of the whole Tongtan world, the structure of the house is mainly brick, stone, wood, steel, concrete, or a mixture of these.

Bricks should be fired with clay, and clay should be used, and mining clay will damage forests and land resources; Stone should be mined in stone mountains, which has serious damage to the environment and high cost; The cost of steel structure is high, and it is used to build buildings, but not small houses; Concrete requires a cement plant, which is also seriously damaging to the environment, and the cost is not low.

In North America, there are forests, and timber is abundant, so wood construction is the lowest cost in North America. Timber frame houses also have the advantages of fast construction, environmental protection, and earthquake resistance. Therefore, all houses in North America are made of wood.

In addition, because North America is so rich in forest resources, moderate logging is not harmful to forest conservation.
