DEMOLITION WOOD AND ITS MEANING

Demolition wood is a noble form of expression in the realization of an architectural project, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, as its goal of working the contrast between the old and the modern is enhanced, resulting in beautiful works, with elegance and responsibility environmentally friendly. Much of the work done with demolition wood comes from the genius of great masters of architecture, engineering or decoration, designing contemporary design with old features to fine finishes in the most diverse aged or restored materials.

With the skilled workmanship of carpenters and craftsmen loving the profession one can with the demolition wood transform the most challenging projects into building masterpieces. Faced with all this transformation of values linked to ecologically correct products, we can follow the absurd growth of demand for products of this type, with demolition wood being one of the items with a strong emphasis, for allying a noble style, ecologically correct, and that after the work with talented hands, comes to be transformed into varied works of art.

WHERE THE DEMOLITION WOOD COMES FROM

The most commercialized demolition wood today is the demolition Peroba Rosa, a raw material from the southern region of the country, where wood was used in the civil construction, both in the structuring and in the coatings, including the closing of internal walls and external architectures.

In the middle of the twentieth century, in the 1940s, with the rise of coffee agriculture, the rural area of the south had most of their families growing coffee on small estates and farms, as well as the large landowners’ mansions, generally large constructions, more robust and imposing, all using the Peroba Rosa. For the storage of coffee there were also large sheds, called bins, where the coffee was put in the process of drying.

Another source of the demolition wood is in the cities where the houses were mostly built of wood, which over time are replaced by masonry houses.

THE BENEFITS OF DEMOLITION WOOD

The benefits of using demolition wood are diverse. The first and most important benefit is linked to the social appeal we are currently living, regarding the preservation of the planet and the use of sustainable products. We do our part by saving new resources, thus helping future generations not to suffer from resource constraints, especially natural ones.

Another positive point that we can highlight regarding the demolition wood is the possibility of the development and execution of projects with the use of hardwood, noble material that today we can no longer find in the market by the extinction of several species, among them the Peroba Rosa. The great differential of the product is on its surface, which after years of exposure to time, has acquired an incomparable texture, with linear marks in its veins, and much change in intensity, caused by differences in degree, shape and care in the exhibition, making that each piece of raw material is a true work of art.
