Wood is a fascinating and unique material that has been used for centuries to manufacture furniture and structures that enrich our spaces. One of its distinctive features is the hygroscopic movement, which is the ability to shrink, expand, and deform in response to changes in humidity in the surrounding environment. In this article, we will explore the reasons why wood behaves in this way and how we can process it to obtain high-quality and durable furnishing solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hygroscopic movement of wood\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Wood responds to the changes in the humidity in the air by absorbing or releasing moisture to balance its water content. This phenomenon causes dimensional variations in wood that can lengthen or shorten by many millimeters, depending on the environmental conditions. For example, during high humidity periods, wood absorbs water from the air, expanding. Whereas, with low humidity, it loses water and shrinks. This process can lead to deformations, cracks and twisting if the wood is not properly protected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Protecting wood from humidity variations<\/b><\/h2>\n

To limit the problems associated with the hygroscopic movement, it\u2019s essential to treat the wood with waterproof varnishes and treatments. These products create a protective barrier that reduces the humidity absorption and loss, maintaining the wood\u2019s stability and saving its structural integrity. Moreover, the type of wood and the working techniques selected can largely influence the durability and quality of the final product.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing Wood for Quality Furnishing Solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n

Understanding the movement mechanism of wood is crucial for those who work in the furniture industry. Architects, interior designers, design engineers and project managers have to be aware of these phenomena to design and manufacture furniture that is not only beautiful but also durable and functional. The choice of stable wood species and the correct treatment of the surfaces are essential steps to obtain excellent results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
