Features of the technology of building a house from a bar

Any con­struc­tion involves the use of tech­nolo­gies that have spe­cif­ic fea­tures. The con­struc­tion of a house from a bar is no excep­tion. The tech­no­log­i­cal orig­i­nal­i­ty of this con­struc­tion is as fol­lows.

First, wood is a more “capri­cious” mate­r­i­al than most oth­ers. This is due to its nat­ur­al, organ­ic nature, which dif­fers sig­nif­i­cant­ly from arti­fi­cial mate­ri­als (met­al, plas­tic, cement, arti­fi­cial stone, etc.).

Sec­ond­ly, a wood­en beam absorbs mois­ture well and retains it for a long time, which leads to defor­ma­tion and shrink­age of the build­ing dur­ing the dry­ing process.

Third­ly, the con­struc­tion of a house from a bar is car­ried out in two stages: first, the foun­da­tion is laid, the box of the build­ing and the roof are built, and after about six months, fin­ish­ing work begins.

Fourth­ly, builders must have good car­pen­try skills, because in the process of build­ing a wood­en house, you have to do a lot of man­u­al work relat­ed to saw­ing and trim­ming.

Fifth­ly, the tech­nol­o­gy of work­ing with tim­ber should take into account the dif­fer­ent strength and stiff­ness of wood in dif­fer­ent areas. This involves the use of spe­cial meth­ods for fas­ten­ing the bars.

Sixth­ly, the bars are attached to each oth­er with the help of grooves and pro­tru­sions cut at the ends. Spe­cial met­al pins are also used — dow­els, which con­nect the upper and low­er beams.

Sev­enth, con­struc­tion is car­ried out by lay­ing crowns — hor­i­zon­tal lay­ers of tim­ber, stacked on top of each oth­er around the perime­ter of the house. The cracks after shrink­age of the house are caulked, and the wood is treat­ed with an anti­sep­tic.

Advantages of a log house

A house made of tim­ber has a num­ber of advan­tages com­pared to hous­es built from oth­er mate­ri­als:

• the use of exclu­sive­ly nat­ur­al wood, since the beam is made of sol­id wood;
• wood has a num­ber of use­ful prop­er­ties, in par­tic­u­lar, if you build a house from conif­er­ous trees, they will dis­in­fect the air;
• a wood­en beam has the abil­i­ty to micro­cir­cu­late air, which cre­ates the effect of “breath­ing” walls. In this regard, there is no need to use hydro- and vapor bar­ri­er mem­branes and films;

• a house made of tim­ber has a nat­ur­al beau­ty that does not require any addi­tion­al arti­fi­cial dec­o­ra­tions;
• the attrac­tive price is explained not only by the fact that the build­ing mate­r­i­al is rel­a­tive­ly inex­pen­sive, but also by the abil­i­ty to build a house with your own hands, as well as sav­ings on inte­ri­or and exte­ri­or dec­o­ra­tion, which you can do with­out;
• sig­nif­i­cant sav­ings are achieved when lay­ing the foun­da­tion, since the light con­struc­tion of the house allows you to put it on a strip shal­low foun­da­tion, and heavy build­ings need a deep foun­da­tion;

• assem­bling a house from a bar does not require com­plex and expen­sive con­struc­tion equip­ment, it can be done by a team of two or three work­ers;
• if the house is built from pro­filed and glued tim­ber, then it is high­ly resis­tant to defor­ma­tion com­pared to ordi­nary untreat­ed tim­ber;
• in the case when a well-dried tim­ber is used, there is no need for caulk­ing the walls, or this pro­ce­dure is min­i­mized after the final shrink­age of the house;
• the house can be erect­ed in a short time, since the pro­filed and glued fac­to­ry-made tim­ber does not need fur­ther pro­cess­ing and is imme­di­ate­ly suit­able for con­struc­tion;
• assem­bly of the house can be car­ried out at any time of the year, which is a sig­nif­i­cant advan­tage, since the use of liq­uid sub­stances is not required;
• despite the fact that a house made of tim­ber shrinks, and there­fore you need to wait for time to car­ry out fur­ther work, there are plus­es here: you can plan your bud­get in two stages, which does not require invest­ing the entire amount at once;
• it is pos­si­ble to make hid­den elec­tri­cal wiring, for which it is nec­es­sary to pro­vide the nec­es­sary draw­ings for the wiring of elec­tri­cal com­mu­ni­ca­tions to the tim­ber man­u­fac­tur­er in advance;
• the smooth sur­face of the walls makes it pos­si­ble to use almost any fin­ish;
• you can do with­out fin­ish­ing at all, since pro­filed and glued tim­ber have a nat­ur­al beau­ty; a sim­ple sand­ing of the sur­face is enough to bring out the nat­ur­al grain of the wood.

Cons of a house from a bar

As you know, dis­ad­van­tages are a con­tin­u­a­tion of advan­tages. The same applies to hous­es made of tim­ber, which have some dis­ad­van­tages, nat­u­ral­ly aris­ing from their advan­tages:

1. Increased fire haz­ard is a dis­ad­van­tage of any wood­en house. To increase the resis­tance of the house to fire, the tim­ber is treat­ed with fire retar­dants already in the fac­to­ry, which allows the sub­stance to pen­e­trate deep­er into the tree, since the whole process is car­ried out under pres­sure in an auto­clave. The processed tim­ber can still catch fire, how­ev­er, the like­li­hood of igni­tion is sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduced, and the com­bus­tion process is not so intense.
2. Since a wood­en house is built from nat­ur­al mate­ri­als, it is more sus­cep­ti­ble to nat­ur­al decay than arti­fi­cial struc­tures. The tree rots and is eat­en by insects, so a house made of tim­ber must be treat­ed with spe­cial impreg­na­tions every five years.
3. The tim­ber in the process of dry­ing may crack. Based on this, it is bet­ter to use already dried tim­ber dur­ing con­struc­tion. Incor­rect heat­ing of the house can also affect the occur­rence of cracks. It is not rec­om­mend­ed to imme­di­ate­ly increase the tem­per­a­ture sharply. In the first week, the house is heat­ed to 8–10 degrees, in the sec­ond — to 13–15 degrees, and in the third week the tem­per­a­ture is brought to 20 degrees.
4. If they live in a house made of tim­ber all the time, and not only in the sum­mer, then it needs seri­ous insu­la­tion. This requires addi­tion­al work and mon­ey. But as a result, the com­fort and cozi­ness of a coun­try wood­en house will be achieved.
5. It is almost impos­si­ble to cre­ate com­plex archi­tec­tur­al forms (tow­ers, out­build­ings, bay win­dows, etc.) from a bar, since it assumes a rec­ti­lin­ear arrange­ment and is dif­fi­cult to pat­tern saw­ing.
6. The process of rede­vel­op­ment is almost impos­si­ble. The grooves of the bars are firm­ly attached, if you start to dis­as­sem­ble the crown after the crown, you can destroy the fas­ten­ers. There­fore, it is nec­es­sary to ini­tial­ly think over the build­ing plan so as not to try to make changes to it lat­er after the con­struc­tion is com­plet­ed.
