Recently, in Russia there has been a steady interest in wooden houses from a bar. The choice of this ancient technology owes his return to the extraordinary charm of such buildings, as well as the fact that such houses are quickly and easy to build such houses.
The tradition of building wooden houses from the beam came to us from Ukraine. In the villages of Carpathia, the peasants and rich Ukrainians thus erected themselves. For combining the material, pegs were used, and for sealing, cords, pacli or chips were used.
At the turn of the century, the fashion for houses from the beam appeared again. The main advantage of such houses is that they are built quickly, and they can be built all year round. It is very important that they do not require humid finishing work, except for work related to the construction of the foundation. Considering the point of view of the naturalness of building material, these houses belong to environmentally friendly and healthy buildings. Small thickness of the walls of houses from the beam increases the operating area of the premises.
Features of a modern timber
A significant part of the houses is built from a pine tree or spruce bar, which is previously dried in drying chambers. After drying, the humidity of the beam does not exceed 18%. The structure of coniferous trees is characterized by densely adjacent layers and high fibrousness, which gives it strength and elasticity. Comparing pine or spruce wood with other wood species, it should be noted that it is less wet and contains resin -resistant inclusions that make it more resistant to high humidity and winds. Along with this, many manufacturers of construction wood offer a good beam from other species of trees: poplar, acacia, aspen and others.
To protect against fire and the development of mold, the material is impregnated by immersion in the aqueous solution of boron salts, and also treated with refractory and anti -inflacal agents.
Brill wallbuilding
When erecting external walls of houses from the beam, traditional technology is used: the bars are folded horizontally one on the other on a wooden base attached to the foundation. To prevent moisture penetration between the base and the foundation, a waterproofing layer is laid. To ensure the hardness of the structure and evenly distribute the load, the bars are additionally connected using wooden pegs. As a rule, the walls from the beam are not sealed, only in some cases it is recommended to apply polyurethane foam in the corners of the house at the beam’s connections. In areas with cold climate, when erecting walls from pine material, the bars are shifted with felt. For the stability of the walls to ultraviolet rays, from the outer side of the wall is covered with impregnation. Due to the small thickness of the beam, the walls of the buildings are recommended to be insulated from the inside with heat -insulating materials, for example, mineral wool, providing a windproofing layer between the beam and insulation material.
