Pine Wood: Characteristics and Applications
Economical, soft, light wood with low mechanical characteristics. Due to its low resistance to mold, insects and atmospheric agents, it must be protected with an adequate surface treatment. However, it is very stable, and well workable. It is the ideal material for bio-architecture, respect for the environment, the most ecological projects with high energy savings and increased thicknesses.
There are several species of pine; Pino Montano, Pino Silano, Pino Nero, ... and others and finally Pino Silvestre (Pinus Silvestris. L.) which identifies the wood species currently used in carpentry for the construction of windows and rustic furniture. In optimal conditions the tree reaches even 40 meters with a diameter of 70-80cm, and generally straight stem. The growth area is all of northern Europe; from the northernmost tip of the Apennines and up to the Arctic Circle.
For the construction of windows, the best is the timber from Sweden, Finland and the north of Russia because the timber grown at those latitudes contains extractives not found in the material that grows at lower latitudes, and therefore has a resistance greater to fungi and chromatic alterations, it also has thin and regular rings and therefore much more homogeneous
In fact, although well selected and worked with advanced techniques, wood will always present a variability of aesthetic and structural characteristics typical of its species, if these characteristics do not compromise the use, functionality, and safety of the window, they must be accepted and above all you understand.
From the construction of doors and windows to interior design
It is a very common wood, easy to work with, although the high resin content can sometimes cause some problems. Even glues, lacquers and paints can be applied without particular problems. It is a wood suitable for various uses such as internal and external carpentry, door and window frames, floor planks, rustic furniture, railway sleepers, packaging and also for wood pulp. The Pinus species includes a considerable variety of genera with a structure and use quite similar to Pinus sylvestris, and which grow in various areas of the earth and not only in the Nordic countries.
The wide use of P. sylvestris is due not only to its peculiar characteristics of workability, but also to the vast extension of its plantations. However, it must also be kept in mind that very often botanical differentiations are much less sensitive than the differences due to the growth area or to the climatic or geographical conditions in which the plant is grown, so the botanical name alone may not always be a guarantee. of constant quality.

The growth area is all of northern Europe; from the northernmost tip of the Apennines and up to the Arctic Circle.
The bluing (if it is not rotten) can be tolerated, and with a careful processing put in a hidden position, as well as the resin pockets that are repaired if they are not huge, the knots instead if healthy and well adherent as long as they are not grouped or too large (> 30 mm) are also present in sight, for those who want a cleaner material, pine lamellar is available.
As regards the resin it is necessary to remember that even after months or years from installation, due to environmental stresses, around the node or in a fold of the fiber, this will inevitably peep out, and this means that very covering paints or lacquers are to be avoided.
