Benefits of country houses from a bar

Country house, and even built with your own hands - isn't it a dream for a resident of the city jungle? If still managed to buy a land plot and there is a desire to build asylum on it from a dusty and noisy city, then to the choice of materials it certainly needs to be approached with full responsibility.

For example, summer houses from a bar are very popular. This material is not only environmentally friendly, but also has a lot of advantages and merits, so it becomes more and more fans every year.

House of profiled timber

If you definitely decided to build your home from the bar, then pay attention to this material. It is not only natural, but also very convenient to use, as well as high-tech. The profiled timber is made mainly of coniferous woods - first grind, then milling.

The bar itself can have any shape. Often, the outdoor side of the profiled timber has a convex surface, and the inner is flat. Thus, the party that is addressed inside the house forms smooth walls. In addition, the bar is flat on both sides or the opposite, convex. But the upper and lower side of the bar is made in the form of a spike and groove - mirror.

Due to the fact that the buildings look, not only beautiful, but also neatly, from the profiled bar build various to the designation of the building - both at home, and baths, and gazebos, and various households. All of them do not need an external additional finish, because the profiled timber has a smooth surface, and dried in natural conditions.

Profiled timber: benefits

1. The profiled timber is a one hundred percent tree, besides, it is a solid material that does not contain any extraneous synthetic impurities.
2. The house from the profiled bar "breathes", since the natural structure of the tree is not broken.
3. Due to the integrity of the profiled bar, air exchange occurs in the house and the most optimal level of humidity is preserved.
4. Houses with a bar (as in the photo) have a finished look, so there is no need to expose it to some finish: cladding, trimming, etc.
5. The house built from the profiled bar is similar to the fairy tale.
6. When building a house from a profiled timber, a dense fit of the bars to each other occurs, due to which excellent thermal insulation is achieved.
7. In the grooves between the profiled timber, water does not fall, and, therefore, the tree will not start roting from the inside.
8. When building a house from a profiled bar, costs are much less than when building a house from a glued timber, since the value of the material is about two times cheaper.
9. The house from the profiled bar is very warm.
10. The angular structures from the profiled timber are, most often, the most difficult, therefore, they can be ordered right at the factory - they will be brought to you already in the finished form, which will noticeably facilitate the installation phase.
11. The structures from the profiled bar give a minimal shrinkage to operational humidity. For example, 3.5% shrinkage is for a cedar bar or pine, 4.5% gives shrinkage larch.
12. After the shrinkage, there is no need to praise between the bars docking, as needed to do during the construction of the house from the rounded log.
13. When building a house from a profiled bar, there is no need for additional insulation for walls - it is enough to put in the jute grooves when the logs are stacked.
14. The construction of the house from the profiled timber is not the cheapest version of the house of the tree, but the most rational, especially, given the price, the complexity of work and operational quality.

Profiled timber: flaws

1. It is necessary to wait until the profiled bar picks the relative humidity you need, and only after that begin finishing work.
2. Very often in a bar, as soon as the material begins to dry, cracks appear. As for the size of the cracks and their quantity, all this depends solely on what air temperature was when the construction of the house was held. If at low temperature, that is, the probability that cracks will be less, and if with high, then vice versa.
3. If the construction of the square section was used from the profiled bar during the construction of the house, then the cracks during the sweep can be formed from all sides.
4. The size and quantity of cracks affect the cross section of the bar. Since inside the tree there is a voltage that has arisen due to different degrees of degree, then the cracks will appear on the side that has a large area. To take control of possible cracks, you can make inspirations on the bar - thanks to this technology, it will be possible to set the crack line in the future.

Glued Brous House

The glued timber, as it is already clear from the name, made from sawn logs: first they "divide" on the lamellas (boards), and then combine each other. In fact, not everything is so simple, this process is more laborious.

1. The logs are cut on a board with a size of 205 × 6150 mm or 155 × 6150 - depending on what form and size should be the source material.
2. Prepared boards are subjected to drying - this is done in special chambers, where the lamellas reach the highest degree of residual moisture - it is about 10-12%.
3. Prepared boards are treated with various antiseptics and antipirens.
4. Processed lamellas are interconnected using macroshype.
5. The glued boards are first sharp, and then glued in the beams.

In the glued bar, which is noteworthy, the boards can be located both horizontally and vertically. In this case, the number of boards in the glued timber is from two to five pieces. The glued bar has a maximum thickness of 250 mm. It is worth noting that this material prepared in production has both a natural profile and obtained by milling beams.

Today there are several types of glued timber: wall (used exclusively for the construction of walls), carrier beams and a window bar.

Glued timber: advantages

1. Houses from this variety of timber are very beautiful and do not need exterior decoration.
2. The glued bar is more expensive material, but at the same time, very high quality. For the manufacture of glued timber, only high-quality wood is used, various defects and knots are removed from it in advance so that the appearance of the finished material has an impeccable appearance.
3. When operating, the glued bar retains dimensions and shape, since the dried boards use to create this material.
4. The glued beam is famous for the lack of internal voltage, which is characteristic of solid wood.
5. The house from the glued bar does not give a shrinkage, the walls are not cracking, they do not twist and do not bend, so experts claim that these are the best houses from the bar.
6. The glued bar is very strong and durable - about 50-70% above these indicators than solid wood. This is due to the fact that when creating this material, the opposite direction is set for wood fibers in the boards.
7. The glued bar is not deformed with a strong humidity - the house will definitely not "lead" from the big damp.
8. The house from this material is built very quickly, especially if it is single-storey houses from the bar. Installation can be carried out in a very short time, since all the details are suitable for each other thanks to the factory production. The construction of the house goes on average 1.5-2 months, depending on the size of the future building.
9. Walls from glued timber can be erected at any time of the year.
10. Shrinkage at home made of glued timber is an average of about 1% (solid wood, this percentage is on average equal to seven), so immediately after the construction of the walls you can put windows and doors, perform internal work and install decorative elements.
11. The glued bar is less affected by pests and pathogenic microflora.
12. The glued bar is more fire-resistant, unlike other wood.
13. The glued bar is more durable than one-piece tree.

Glued bar: flaws

1. Price. This is the most significant lack of glued timber as material for construction, since its cost is very high. The reason is the complex technological process of manufacturing the glued bar, the specialists claim that it is often the cost of producing this type of material three times higher than the cost of building a home-made log.
2. The glued bar, due to the fact that it is subjected to various manipulations, has less environmentally friendly - despite the assurances of manufacturers that glue that is used when gluing the boards allows the tree to "breathe" and does not affect its composition, still need to recognize that glued bar is not absolutely natural.

The glued bar is a very popular material in the construction of country houses. And this popularity is fully justified and deserved. Often from the glued bar today build houses within the city and cottages in private villages.
