Wood is composed of 50% carbon, and with a density of 500 kg/m³, each cubic meter of wood can sequester 250 kg of carbon. Consequently, homes built using solid wood products require less energy throughout their construction, usage, demolition, and disposal phases compared to other types of buildings.
Features
The 2x4 construction method uses wood members with a cross-section of 2 x 4 inches as vertical studs, spaced 40 or 60 cm apart to form a load-bearing wall system.
Design Advantages: The 2x4 framework can be cut and assembled on-site, leading to faster construction times and allowing for a variety of exterior finishes and architectural styles. In the bustling pace of modern cities, where people long for a retreat from the urban noise to find inner peace and a harmonious experience with nature, the 2x4 construction method emerges as an ideal solution. It offers a perfect blend of tranquility, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability.
In Taiwan, the 2x4 construction method is referred to as a framed structural system. The terms 2x4 and 2x6 denote the dimensions of the wood, and the method is named after the American standard dimensions, reflecting its origins in Japanese terminology.
