One、What is Finnish wood?
Typically referred to as "Finnish wood," this is actually a type of treated wood. Domestic Finnish treated wood is divided into two types: Finnish original imported and imported raw materials processed. The main material is Nordic Scots Pine (Pinus silvestris), which is primarily grown in Finland. Finland has the highest forest coverage rate in Northern Europe and ranks second globally. It was also one of the first countries to import treated Nordic Scots Pine into China, so people commonly refer to Nordic Scots Pine treated wood as "Finnish wood."
II. Characteristics of Finnish Wood Preservative Wood
Finnish wood is a type of preservative wood. Preservative wood is divided into artificially preserved wood and naturally preserved wood. Commonly used artificially preserved woods include Finnish wood, camphor pine, and Southern pine. Naturally preserved wood includes red snow pine, which naturally contains substances that resist insects, ants, and wood-decaying fungi.
Finnish wood is a type of preservative wood, and therefore possesses several characteristics of preservative wood:
1、Utilizes the most advanced and environmentally friendly ACQ anti-corrosion process, ensuring natural, environmentally friendly, and safe treatment (the original color of the wood is preserved, while pressure-treated wood naturally exhibits a color; therefore, the Finnish pressure-treated wood treated with penetrating anti-corrosion agents may have a slight greenish hue).
2、Wood products from Finland, after undergoing anti-corrosion treatment, exhibit strong resistance to corrosion, mold, insect infestation, and termite damage.
3、Certain chemicals in the anti-corrosion agents can enhance the stability of Finnish wood, making it primarily for protecting outdoor Finnish wood-based structures.
4、After the Finnish wood is dried and treated for preservation, it is easy to apply coatings and colors, and can achieve the desired aesthetic effect according to the design requirements.
5、Finnish wood, treated with rigorous preservation methods, can be used outdoors directly.，Safe even with direct water contact.。 Meets diverse design specifications，Suitable for creating various horticultural masterpieces.。 Highly effective in contact with moist soil.，Suitable for use in various outdoor climates.20-30Remains constant。
III. Differences between Ordinary Preserved Wood and Finnish Wood
1、Different materials
Finnish Wood: The primary material is Nordic red pine, which is mainly grown in Finland.
Common weather-resistant wood: The most common types of weather-resistant wood in China are Russian Larch and Nordic Red Pine, as well as Western Red Cedar, Charcoal Wood, and Eucalyptus Wood.
2. Different growth climates
Finland is the country with the highest forest coverage in Northern Europe, characterized by extremely cold winters. One-third of its land area lies within the Arctic Circle, making it an ideal environment for the growth of trees. China, on the other hand, has a subtropical climate with warm temperatures and distinct seasons, which is not conducive to the growth of dense, tall trees.
3. Different quality
Finnish wood is of a higher quality compared to other types of treated wood. It is characterized by its hard, uniform, and straight grain, with small and sparse knots. This type of Nordic wood, with its natural texture, has been a preferred choice for many industries for centuries and is often referred to as the "green diamond of the Nordic region."
