Reply to comment by SilentHunter7 in Engineered wood is stronger, fights climate change by capturing CO2 by BlitzOrion

Or couldn't we use its strength to make bigger wooden structures? How much stronger is it? And actually, don't different types of wood already have different strengths? So what is this engineered wood being compared to?

The article seems to say the strength is compared to the strength of the same wood before treatment. At least that's the impression I got.

And you could use it for larger structures. I was just thinking about more efficiency with things like wider stud widths so you'd need less wood for the same wall.
