In some countries like Finland, wood has always been the main building material because it acquired the popularity centuries ago.

There is a proof that wood is known as building construction by the existence of old European wood house made in the 16 century. It is also proven that wood withstands better toward fire risk compared to steel or brick. Many wood house manufacturers use fire rated materials like plasterboard or charcoal to cover the timber frame in order to add protection to it.
