In recent years, country houses made of timber are in unprecedented demand. They are built willingly and often, because it is simple and profitable, and suburban housing is warm and comfortable. The choice of cost and configuration is very diverse, so it is easy to choose the project that most satisfies the customer: it can be a small country house or a large building, but in any case they can be operated year-round.
Original projects of country houses made of timber will be of interest to both customers who prefer eco-friendly housing and contractors who are passionate about new technologies for rapid construction.
Wood beam - a natural material for a fabulous home
In the past, builders used trimming of round timber to maintain the evenness of wooden walls, and now the log is subjected to more radical processing using modern finishing tools.
From the point of viewsavings, the construction of country houses from timber can be considered the most profitable. This technology is used not only for the construction of low-rise residential buildings and country houses, but also for wooden baths and other light structures. Universal lumber allows you to accurately finish the walls with siding, clapboard, blockhouse at the last stage of the work performed. Choose the country houses you like from a bar, the photos of which are also in our article, and highly qualified specialists will come to your aid and help you make your dream a reality!
Building Technology
For the production of planed profiled, glued beams and rounded logs, dried flooring and sheathing boards, such tree species as spruce and pine are used.
The named types of timber are manufactured under industrial conditions. This building material goes through a full cycle of processing on high-precision machines, leaving the workshops with marked structural elements, ready for installation work on the construction of a building. The wall beam is produced with various sections and diameters. In other words, it is brought to the construction site and assembled. The result - country houses made of timber are assembled quickly and easily, like a children's toy constructor.
With a standard material length of 6 meters, an unplaned beam is obtained from 100x150 mm to 200x200 mm, the diameter of a profiled beam varies from 90x140 to 140x140 mm.
Standard equipment of a country house
Construction of country houses from timber as standard includes:
- columnar foundation;
- transportation and installation of the finished log cabin;
- installation and finishing of roofing elements with high quality materials;
- laying layers of rough and finish flooring;
- design thermal insulation gasket;
- installation of doors, windows, stairs (for multiple floors) and interior partitions.
Phased construction
Before the construction of wooden housing, the most suitable projects of country houses from timber are selected. Customers can do this on their own, using Internet resources or relying on their own taste and imagination. Or you can resort to the help of professional designers and builders, who, having become more familiar with the conditions of the construction site and other nuances, will offer the best options for buildings.
When country houses are designed from a bar, the customer should be aware that after the first stage (the construction of the frame) at least six months must pass before it will be possible to proceed to the second stage - finishing work; this is required to give the tree time to naturally shrink.
When erecting the frame, work is carried out at the zero cycle, external and internal walls are installed, and the roof is mounted. This includes the following activities:
- laying the foundation, first crown, floor beams, subfloor;
- installing the box at home andpurlins;
- roof assembly;
- on the zero cycle, the foundation is being laid and the lower piping is being carried out.
The foundation is usually shallow: strip or columnar. At this stage, the cost of the foundation is low, it will depend not on the type of building, but on the characteristics of the soil under the foundation.
Next, the lower piping is carried out, laying the logs, installing the subfloor. Then comes the thermal insulation work, moisture protection device, sheet piling.
Construction of a bar box
The construction of the timber box begins with the assembly of the walls of the first floor. Then the installation of internal interior partitions and interventional insulation continues. Country houses made of profiled timber have tight joints due to the use of dovetail joining of wooden elements, in which the timber does not deform as it dries.
The next step is to lay the ceiling beams and rafters, the roof is hemmed with clapboard and insulated. If there is a second floor, internal partitions can be installed at the beginning of the finishing work on the first floor.
To speed up the shrinkage of the tree, the box is made ventilated in those places where the project provides for doors and windows.
Completion of the first stage of construction
The last work of the first stage is the construction of the roof. To do this, they put a crate, put moisture insulation, hem the cornices and lay the roofing material. AsWe offer galvanized corrugated sheet for the starting roof, but at the request of the builder, we cover it with another material. The choice of insulation and insulation is discussed during the conclusion of the contract.
Second stage - finishing work
After 6 months, when the shrinkage of the beam is over, it is necessary to carry out the laying of engineering communications, after which it is possible to lay floors, install window glass blocks and doors. Finishing methods and exterior design of the house are chosen by the customer.
Houses from profiled timber - prefabricated construction
One-story country houses made of profiled timber are becoming increasingly popular due to the comfort of wooden housing and the cost-effectiveness of construction. It is not for nothing that experts call a wooden beam a building material of a new generation. Indeed, unlike planed lumber, it uses a tongue-and-groove system that allows you to build a house in the shortest possible time.
Advantages of Technology
Of course, the construction processes are quite laborious and require compliance with technological rules and building codes. However, the clear advantages of low-cost projects of wooden buildings, which include country houses made of timber, are very attractive to customers:
- Heat savings. A log house retains heat well due to the low thermal conductivity of the wood material.
- Sustainability. Natural material in the construction of housing is the key to the he alth and safety of the owners.
- Economy. Wooden buildings, including country houses made of glued beams, during constructionwill save money on consumables and various types of work.
Obviously, whatever project you choose, everything will be completed in a short time, better and cheaper than if brick, cinder block or any other non-natural material is used for construction. And in the end, you will get your own environmentally friendly house made of breathable material, which will be much cheaper compared to buying an apartment, even in the secondary market.
A wooden house made from neatly laid timber looks natural, cozy and inviting. You can leave lumber with its natural beauty just like that by applying several layers of special protective compounds to all its surfaces. And then, in fact, your country house will look like a fairy tale! Guests will be pleased to enter it, and living in such a house will undoubtedly please all household members.
