Did you know
Wood is a bit like a sponge – it naturally absorbs moisture from the air. When the air gets dry, like during a hot summer, the wood can shrink, causing panels to warp or change shape. This is because the fibers in the wood are porous and shrink as they lose moisture.
The good news is that this movement is usually temporary. Once the weather cools down and humidity levels rise again, the wood will typically return to its original shape.
But, just like a sponge that gets soaked in water, wood can also swell when it absorbs too much moisture. This is why you might see wood expanding during the winter months when the air is cold and humid.
So, remember, it’s perfectly normal for wood to move a little bit with the changes in the weather. It’s just a sign that it’s a natural material that’s adapting to its environment.
Mould
Mould is a surface-dwelling fungus that feeds on the nutrients and debris contained in the surface cells of timber. The most common problems associated with mould are discoloured timber and an increase in permeability of the timber. Blue stain is part of the same family but penetrates deeper into the surface layers of the timber. It stains the timber a dark blue, whereas mould is usually black. These do not cause the timber to rot. Keep the building well ventilated to avoid mould.
Expand & Contract
All timber will expand and contract according to its environment. As a result of this expansion and contraction, it is very common to see splits and cracks developing in the wood. Splits are common during the spring and summer months as the wood begins to dry out. The outer surface dries first and contracts, contracting over a still expanded core of the wood. The result of this is that splits and cracks appear along the grain of wood. These splits are not a fault and do not affect the structural integrity of a product.
