A knot is a natural defect in timber, formed by the growth of branches within the tree trunk. Knots appear as circular or oval-shaped inclusions and can vary in size, location, and tightness. They are a common feature in both softwood and hardwood species and play a significant role in the structural and aesthetic properties of timber.
At Ergodomus Timber Engineering, knots are a celebration of timber’s natural beauty. While structurally they are considered defects, we embrace them as unique elements that enhance the visual appeal and character of our timber projects.
