A wooden building member includes an elongated structural portion having a
rectangular cross section and capable of receiving load applied thereto,
a coating portion coating an entire length of at least three sides of the
cross section of the structural portion, and an insulating portion
interposed therebetween in a laminated manner and prevents load from
transmitting to the coating portion. Since load is received by the
structural portion, structural strength designing is facilitated, and
even if the coating portion is completely burned down, the structural
portion coated with the insulating portion is not easily burned down.
Thus, fireproof capability of the wooden building member can be improved.
Further, since a surface of the wooden building member is coated with the
coating portion, the insulating portion is not exposed to the exterior
thereby improving its appearance.
