As you know, building your own house is a very responsible and time-consuming process, and the choice of the appropriate material is a paramount and difficult task. What material to give preference? Wooden houses have been popular for more than a dozen years, and there are reasons for this. Cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, aesthetic appearance and many other advantages are increasingly attracting the interest of future homeowners. As for the choice of material, recently the gun carriage has rightfully occupied worthy competition.
What is this? What are the advantages, what are the manufacturing technologies of this material and what does it actually represent? This will be discussed in this article.
Construction of houses from gun carriages
The use of a carriage is a relatively recent trend in the creation of residential premises made of wood, but, despite the little known, an increasing number of professionals and just future homeowners prefer this material, because the carriage is not only a special material, but also a style, which came to Russia about 10-15 years ago from the countries of Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
Concept
So, gun carriage. What it is? These are logs that differ from the traditional log house familiar to the Russian population in their square shape with rounded corners. Such a technology for processing logs appeared in the course of searching for options to reduce the cost of building a wooden house. Once on the territory of Russia and other post-Soviet countries, the carriage has become a very strong competitor to the usual log house, since its cost is much lower, and the thermal insulation qualities are in no way inferior to the usual round logs. This innovation confidently competed with traditional solutions and is successfully used to this day.
Use area
Now, having understood the concept of a carriage, what it is, we can begin to review the options for using this material. And it is used, I must say, very widely.
Manufacture of a carriage as a building material is very important, because it is suitable.for the construction of country houses and cottages. However, this material is perfect for the construction of baths and saunas, various outbuildings and other vital facilities. In principle, carriage houses can be used for a wide variety of purposes. It is perfect for creating country boarding houses and he alth-improving complexes, for buildings in summer cottages and in the private sector.
Production Features
The carriage manufacturing technology, as already mentioned, appeared in Russia, quite recently - about 15 years ago. How to make a carriage? Thislog construction technology is also called "Norwegian" because of the country of origin. First, the side parts are cut from the logs, and then the bark is removed from the remaining rounded sides. After that, the entire log is planed by hand and grooves are cut.
The whole distinctive feature of such a log house is the unusual shape of the logs. They have a semi-oval shape with flat sides, which allows you to make the walls of the house smooth, not requiring additional processing. This form of logs also allows them to be better linked together, eliminating the possibility of cracks. In a word, this technology has become very popular in Russia due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of working with ready-made logs. And it is undoubtedly appreciated by professionals in this field.
Costs
When deciding to build a wooden house, you always need to take into account several important nuances. For those who prefer to entrust the work to specialists, the best option is to order a ready-made carriage.
It will cost about 9.5 thousand rubles per cubic meter (depending on the type of wood and the cost of work). But for those who are used to doing the work on their own, there is a great opportunity to save the budget: buy a round frame and make a carriage with your own hands. This will save from 3 to 5 thousand rubles per cubic meter, which is, of course, an important argument. You will certainly spend more time, but later you can be proud of the fact that you did everything yourself. Speaking of total costs, compared to the rest of the standardmaterials, the carriage is undoubtedly the leader in terms of convenience and economy, and is also not inferior in terms of external data.
Advantages of carriage as a building material
So, we figured out the concept of a gun carriage. What it is, we learned, and also studied the technology of its manufacture. Now you can consider the immediate advantages of this material in construction.
In general, the gun carriage reviews are quite positive. Let us consider in more detail all the advantages of this building material.
Warmth
One of the main advantages of carriage houses is the level of thermal insulation. The wall of the house with a thickness of 20 centimeters will protect from the cold no worse than a 30-centimeter round frame. Accordingly, this house will be warm and cozy, and the most dense and durable connection of logs will provide reliable protection against cracks.
Simplicity
Since the walls of a house built from a gun carriage are smooth and flat, you do not have to additionally sheathe them from the inside with clapboard or other material, which significantly saves time and money required for construction.
Living space
Providing spaciousness and immediate living space is a significant factor influencing the choice of material. What are the advantages of the carriage in this case? Due to the fact that the walls of such a house are flat, the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe house increases significantly, in comparison with round logs. At the same time, such walls allow you to easily lay wiring, sewerage, water supply, gas, and so on.next.
Reliability
In practice, it has been proven that the houses from the gun carriage are practically not amenable to deformation, since a special fixation system connects the logs virtually tightly.
Design
What is important for a residential building is its beauty. Simplicity combined with picturesqueness and charm will impress true connoisseurs of beauty.
Sustainable
If you really decide to completely immerse yourself in nature, breathe fresh air and surround yourself and your family with only the purest and most natural materials, a gun carriage house is perfect for you. After all, wood is a natural material that can provide comfort. The walls of such a house will not cause allergic or other negative reactions.
Material imperfections
The only drawback of fire monitors, like any other wooden buildings, is that in the process of heating the house, walls erected from a material of natural moisture can crack. But this problem is easily solved if a dry gun carriage is used to build such a dwelling.
Conclusion
After analyzing the manufacturing technology, as well as weighing all the advantages and disadvantages of fire monitors, the decision, of course, is made by everyone on their own. However, remember that in modern life, filled with stone buildings and city smog, something natural and natural is missing.
Perhaps it's time to think about building a cozy country house that will warmyour whole family and fill your life with the magical scents of nature.
