Moisture-Proofing: Wood Should Not Touch the Ground

A detailed view of a damp-proof island resort. All wooden components do not directly touch the ground: wooden columns rest on stone plinths or metal bases, wooden cabinets are suspended twenty centimeters above the ground, and the lowest step of the wooden staircase is made of stone. The lower part of the wall is made of stone or rendered masonry, and the upper part is wood. These junctions are clean and clear, showing deliberate division of labor. Avoid: letting wooden columns and cabinets rest directly on the ground, extending wooden flooring all the way to the wall corner without trim, using moisture-sensitive wood close to the ground, allowing wood to directly contact soil.

一處處理防潮的海島度假細部。所有的木構件都不直接接觸地面:木柱底下墊著一塊石礎或金屬底座、木質櫃體懸空離地二十公分、木階梯的最下一階是石材。牆的下段是石材或抹面的砌體,上段才是木。這些交接處都做得乾淨清楚,看得出是刻意的分工。避免:讓木柱與木櫃直接落在地面上、把木地板一路做到牆角無收邊、使用不耐潮的木材貼近地面、讓木材與土壤直接接觸。
