Abstract

Wood is an environment-friendly, durable and sustainable material which gives spaces a warm and natural look. The construction industry, which uses many types of materials together in terms of its components, focuses on efficiency in building materials in order to offer aesthetic, economical and ergonomic solutions as a result of today's architectural approaches. In the construction sector, the use of wood has become widespread in facade design and window production especially with the increasing importance of environmental awareness and sustainability in the 21st century. In this study, black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) has been used as the wood material. The test samples consist of three layers. Urea-formaldehyde glue was used for bonding the test samples. Following the physical and mechanical experiments conducted during the research process, it was determined that the technological characteristics of the window profile produced from three-layer laminated black pine wood are superior to the technological characteristics of the solid window profile representing its own species. In order to achieve sustainability goals, it can be recommended to use laminated wooden window profiles in buildings.
