Dimensional Stability and Structural Integrity. Research in wood processing has resulted in an advent of different WOOD. THE ONLY RENEWABLE AND CARBON Engineered wood products improve upon many of the inherent methods to overcome traditional wood disadvantages such as fire POSITIVE BUILDING MATERIAL. During production, compared to most other building materials such structural advantages of wood by removing natural defects such safety, moisture and humidity concerns, increasing the number of as metal, engineered wood panels are manufactured using much as knots, slope of grain and splits. These sections are dispersed application in which wood can be used. The bulk of our raw materials used is wood, one of the only sustainable lesser energy.

Some of these enhancements include: It bears considerable energy potential obtained from solar energy (about 5 MWh/m³ wood biomass).

For damp areas, we materials have become an indispensable requirement as a preventive fire resistant rating of Class ‘1’ or better.
