Even though many people may not understand, it cannot stop people’s favor for wooden home products. However, in fact, wood is still used as a home building material and has more beneficial effects on the human body.
The psychological regulatory effect of wood on the human body cannot be ignored. The indoor wood ratio is correlated with people’s sense of warmth, stability, and comfort.
1)Warmth: As the wood percentage increases, the warmth gradually increases while the coldness gradually decreases; When the wood percentage is below 43%, the warmth increases with the increase of wood percentage, but it actually decreases when the wood percentage is above 43%. When the average color tone of the indoor space is around 2.5YR, the warmth is strongest.
2)Sense of Stability: The sense of stability increases with the increase of wood percentage, but its upper limit is not significantly related to the wood percentage.
3)Comfort: When the wood percentage is low, the comfort is not significant. As the wood percentage increases, the comfort gradually increases, and the upper limit remains relatively stable.
Wood can bring an irreplaceable natural affinity to people, and indoor environments filled with wooden furniture are more vibrant!
As a woody material, wood can release phytoncide and negative ions (air vitamins) several hundred times higher than reinforced concrete to the outside world. It can kill bacteria in the air, curb human diseases, enhance immunity, restore wakefulness, improve memory, lower blood pressure, stabilize the body’s autonomic nervous system, and make people feel relaxed. It has significant effects.
That is why it is generally believed in foreign countries that wooden houses are the most suitable for human habitation, and foreign astronauts who return to Earth from space are also arranged to stay in wooden mansions or sanatoriums to restore their physical fitness.
The unique aroma of wood also has a certain effect on human health – wood is a good shielding material for radon radiation. Radon is a substance mainly derived from inorganic building materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles, sand, granite, marble, and the underlying soil, and it poses certain risks to human health. Scientists have calculated that if one stays in a room with a radon concentration of 200 Becks per cubic meter for a day, it is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per person per day in the whole family.
Of course, there are few cases in real households where the radon content exceeds the standard, but there is no doubt about its existence, and wood can form a certain shielding and isolation effect, which is beneficial to our health. According to a survey by Japanese scholars, the average lifespan of residents living in wooden homes is 9-11 years longer than that of residents living in reinforced concrete homes. Its health benefits to humans are self-evident.
Therefore, when decorating, people tend to choose wooden products, which not only provide better visual and tactile sensations, but also have an irreplaceable role in health. A study by the Norwegian Forest Academy shows that a room with windows on one side and all wooden boards on the other side is the most harmonious ward for patients. The research results have confirmed that people have positive physiological and psychological reactions to indoor wood, and wood is also recognized as an auxiliary material for health and rehabilitation. So even when it comes to changing windows, more and more homeowners are inclined to choose solid wood doors and windows, such as aluminum clad wooden windows in various door and window products, which are more suitable for creating healthy homes. With their high performance, they can bring people a healthy living experience. Combined with wooden furniture products, they can create a healthy and comfortable home environment.
In summary, wood has more prominent advantages and utilization value in terms of residential characteristics compared to traditional building materials such as bricks, tiles, and concrete. With the increasing demand for quality of life and the development of wood environmental science in China, wood is undoubtedly an ideal indoor decoration material that pursues nature and returns to its original state. The superior material characteristics of wood and its environmentally friendly properties in indoor decoration engineering should be fully utilized to bring better quality of life to humanity.
Today’s people’s love for wood is not only to continue the living culture of our ancestors, but also to pay more attention to the natural health characteristics of wood. People’s feelings and feelings towards wood come from the texture, color, texture, aroma, and other aspects of the wood itself, as well as from the original ecology of the wood, which extends people’s emotions towards forests, trees, and wood.
Wood undergoes corresponding changes in texture, color, and odor over the years. It grows together with the environment and people living in space, which cannot be replaced by other artificial materials.
