Despite the variety of new technologies used in modern construction, classical methods have not lost their relevance. For example, today, like hundreds of years ago, the construction of houses, baths and other objects from timber is very popular. As in any other technology, there are secrets and subtleties here, and the main one is the correct connection of the timber.
Variety of compounds
The main requirement for any residential building is, as you know, its ability to provide high-quality protection from external weather influences. The guarantee of warm, not blown corners in a wooden house is the corner connection of the beam, the so-called. "warm corner" This connection is the most effective and has been used for a long time in the construction of various
beam structures. Its essence is as follows: a spike of a certain size is cut out in one of the bars, and a groove is cut out in the bar mating with it.similar dimensions.
Due to the tight connection of this interlock in the crowns, you will get a high-quality and reliable insulation system in the corners. There are various ways to connect the beam: keyed, with a root tenon, dovetail (a kind of root tenon). The appearance andtime of building the house will depend on the type of corner joint. By the way, a complex connection is not always a guarantee of improved performance of an object. You can connect the beam in two ways - without release (the end parts of the beam are built into the plane of the walls) or with the release (the ends of the beam of a certain length extend beyond the plane of the walls). The connection of the beam with the outlet looks very nice, however, with the external insulation of such buildings or when they are sheathed with siding, great difficulties arise. Another "minus" of this method is the irrational use of material and a decrease in the internal area of \u200b\u200bthe house. All these problems can be avoided by joining the bar without release.
Beam knitting technology
From the technological point of view, joining the timber on the spike is much easier to do with parquet, without the use of a chainsaw. But when docking with a dovetail, this tool is indispensable. Having decided on the type of knitting, you can start making templates for marking the beam. Thanks to the templates, the process of preparing the timber is greatly simplified and accelerated. The cuts for the joints must be made large to compensate for the shrinkage of the house. The places where the beam connection will be made,must first be laid with a special insulation in order to reduce blowing. Insulation of corners and gaps in the wall is carried out using interventional insulation. It is laid before the installation of the next crown. Insulation can be made from linen waste, from tow or from jute and tow. By the way, the tape of the last two materials is much more expensive than tow, but it is very convenient to use. The thickness of the insulation should not be less than 3 cm.
