Wood Products Used for Residential Repair and Remodeling in the United States, 1991

摘要

Results of the study estimate that the $97,528 million spent in 1991 for residential repair and remodeling resulted in the consumption of 14,934 million board feet (bf) of lumber, 6,599 million ft, 378-in. basis of structural wood panels, and 3,716 million ft., 3/8-in. basis of nonstructural wood panels. The use of wood varied consideably by expenditure type. About one-half of all expenditures were for improvements to the property and the remainder for maintenance and repairs. However, about 85 percent of all wood products were used for improvements. In general, additions, whether to the existing structure or apart (separate) from the structure were the most wood-intensive activities undertaken; maintenance and repairs were the least wood-intensive.
