Changes in Building Materials due to Chemistry

       Over the years, our basic building materials have changed so much due to the modern chemistry behind some of the products.  For example, there is pressure treated wood that has been coated to preserve the wood from insects and deteriorating at a faster rate.  Before, it was merely a rough-cut board straight from a tree that was air   

       Due to all of Mother Nature's forces, every region will have a different type and component of building materials.  In this discussion, I will merely talk about the building materials that we have seen on a regular basis in our region.  Before I begin talking about all of the chemistry behind the components, first you must know what the components are.  Click the link to learn some key vocabulary in order to obtain a better understanding of this discussion.
