Lightbrus - its features and application

Designers around the world have recognized lightbeams as one of the best composite materials in the world and even called it the material of the future. This structural and decorative timber from the Russian manufacturer in the world has no analogues. Next, we take a closer look at what this material is and where it is applied.

General information

Prehistory

Since the advent of plastic, scientific progress has gone far in front. Various types of foam plastic, as well as its modifications, have tightly entered our life and now it is false to present it without these materials. They are used as building materials, in the manufacture of furniture, household goods, elements of technology and much more.

Over time, the polymers were modified, improved and gradually acquired new characteristics and advantages. This allowed them to occupy a huge niche in the market of building materials.

Recently, composites have become particularly popular, their popularity has increased dozens of times over the past couple of years. So, there was also a material called lightbrus.

Special features

Externally, this material is similar to a natural wooden beam, but is devoid of many of the disadvantages that are characteristic of solid wood products.

The main advantages of the material are the following properties:

• It is durable, in some cases, its strength even exceeds the quality of natural wood.
• Outwardly, almost indistinguishable from natural wood;
• Easy;
• Multifunctional;
• Able to maintain shape under mechanical stress and temperature changes;
• It is perfectly combined with the system of wall panels Lightdeko, which are used for decorating walls and ceiling design.
• Due to the variety of sizes, colors, shapes, textures and coating, the light bar in the interior is organically combined with various materials, including glass, forging, wood, etc.
• The price of the material is lower than natural wood.

Separately, it should be said about its strength. Before going on sale, the material was subjected to a series of tests from the manufacturer. For example, a car with passengers was installed on a product made from this material, and it successfully maintained its weight.

In addition, he is not afraid of either frost or rain. It is very resistant and does not crack, while it is elastic and flexible.

Purpose

This structural, decorative, composite material was originally created to replace wooden boards and bars. In fact - it is an imitation of wooden beams. In conditions of scarcity and high cost of wood, it became especially relevant for designers and architects.

What is it like

Lightbeam is polystyrene foam, which is veneered. Simply put, it can be attributed to high-quality plywood, which is glued with foam, and at the same time veneered with wood.

Light beam has several more names, in particular, it is called a gift to designers. This is due to the fact that it allows you to simplify the process of modeling furniture, as well as interior and architectural elements.

In addition, it is called a composite material, since it contains other independent materials:

• Plywood;
• Veneer;
• Styrofoam.

The size

The sizes of light bars can be any, as they are not limited by anything, just like its shape. However, it has a standard length that is 2.4 or 3 meters.

Since the elements can be fastened together as links, the final length of the part can be any, depending on the task. The width of the material can range from - 40x40 mm to 160-160 mm.

Note! Between you can connect not only the bars, but also the composite elements, gluing them at least vertically, even horizontally. For the connection can be used as dowels, and steel ties. Sometimes they combine two options at once.

The material has a perfectly flat, regular surface and is calibrated to an accuracy of 0.1 mm.

Colour

As mentioned above, the color range is limitless. Veneer has more than two thousand all sorts of shades. In addition, the surface of such a bar, primed with a removed pile, is an ideal basis for all kinds of decorative paintwork.

As a finishing material, you can use tinted varnish, as well as decorative and textured coatings.

Where is this material used

The purpose of the material is hidden in its very name - structural timber. That is, it was created to create structures of varying complexity.

Initially, the developers used this material exclusively in the manufacture of furniture. In particular, it was used to make wine stands, display racks, shelves, etc. But over time, when we saw all its qualities and advantages, the material was more widely used.

Note! This material is able to firmly hold nails or screws, so that the instruction to work with it is extremely simple.

Currently, it is used in the design of interior structures, in the interiors of ceilings, walls, floors, furniture and many other elements. It is also actively used in the zoning of space, creating different partitions, as well as changing the level of the ceiling and floor. The material is great for creating imitation of timber and logs: various beams, wall ceilings, wall panels, etc.

Due to the fact that the construction bar can be given any shape, it is excellent for finishing arched openings, which can be done even with your own hands. Moreover, the arches in the interior are perfect.

Conclusion

Summarizing all the above, we can say with full responsibility that the composite light beam is really a gift to designers. It is ideal for creating interior designs. Therefore, it is not for nothing that he received the name - the material of the future!
