What kind of wood is used for carpentry?
Performing carpentry in construction, wood of many coniferous and hardwood species is used. From coniferous trees, spruce, pine, fir are usually used. Pine has a beautiful shade, it has a uniform texture, it is easy to work with. Spruce has more knots and its wood is more prone to decay. Coniferous trees are more difficult to work with, as they contain a lot of resin. Oak, ash, hornbeam, beech, birch, pear are also used in joinery and carpentry.
Types of carpentry work
The most time-consuming operation that a carpenter performs by hand is wood hewing. Before this work, the log is laid on the boards and the lines of the pavement are marked. Bars, boards, slabs are obtained by sawing logs, and blanks are made from lumber. All this is carpentry. In addition, masters of this profile install partitions at construction sites, make beam and panel ceilings, make and lay plank floors. Specialists can make formwork right at the construction site.
Installation of windows and doors
Windows and doors must be manufactured according to design documentation. In this case, the openings must match the finished products. Carpentry work such as installing doors and windows does not require a lot of labor. If the windows are double-glazed, they are fixed with anchor plates. Align the block with a level in three planes and fill the joints with mounting foam.
Installation of wooden floors
For boardwalk, special tree species are used, such as larch, spruce, fir, cedar and pine. Logs are constructed on which well-dried boards are laid. The very first is nailed to the wall. There are two ways to lay the floor: parquet and with the help of clamps. With the parquet method, the boards are laid separately, connecting them into a tongue and groove perpendicular to the lags. In the second method, after laying the first board, 10 more boards are attached to it at once, connecting them so that the ridges enter intogroove. Construction companies provide a variety of carpentry services, including flooring.
