Apart from right wood... Must combine with right design as well termite don't simply eat wood for sake of eating wood... The condition must be right.... So with proper design n right use of wood termite infestation can be prevented

If there a fire wooden house easily gg.

wood is still the best material to make house

belian wood. v hard to get. is super tough wood. if u wan cantik cantik kind of wood. cant use it. structure can la. v hard to carve. and termite proof. so far have not seen any termintes at the my wood tho.

Yeah you right...My roommates from Uni days is from Sarawak,he's from long house community.From him I know about the wood,he called it king of the wood...

You are right.

Wood isnt a better insulator compare concrete. Houses in US uses a combination of timber joist and drywall for internal partitioning while their external wall are usually brick shearwall. The main reason why its design that way not because of heat insulation but sound absorption properties.

houses in the US, especially after 2008 started shifting away from wooden structures to steel. As prices of timber went up and steel prices drop.

similar case with Europe, modern houses are likely to be brick and plaster than timber.

the main reason why timber was used. back during the 1900, timber was plentiful, easy to manufacture to desire shape, & transport. And fast construction.

Wood although is nice, but it involve higher maintenance work in the long run, especially for external area like roof or wall

I have plenty of wood stuff in my house, and I love them so much compare to stone or artificial products

King of the wood is chengal lor, if I am not wrong

Old boat or sampan use naytoh if I am not wrong

In Semenanjung yes.In Borneo is Belian,they said Belian are stronger and more durable than Cengal ..

Owh.. But chengal is very hard and durable d.. It is very expensive to even build them as dining table..

Yes,my mother in law house made almost entirely from cengal, 78 years old now and still strong as ever but Belian is more durable especially those fully matured woods (100 year old tree) they said can last 200-300 years

Wooden walls good for skodeng.

So far i ask around testimonies are either double roof, rotate bawang, insulator roof.

nope. i can confirm some woods termite wont touch la.

Got. Burmese Teak. If thick solid type, termites won't bother. If thin strips, bye2.

what reason its called king of wood?

just because it can tahan? thats not enough criteria to be called king.

i think eucalyptus also they dont like. too much oils in them i guess.

It all depend on the moisture... If the moisture is right... It will attract termite...
