Due to its wonderful characteristics, glued beam is especially appreciated among lumber, therefore, houses from it are distinguished by high consumer properties. It is obtained by gluing layers of pre -dried wood. That is why projects of wooden houses from glued beam are characterized by unique properties. They do not need additional insulation and are resistant to external influences. The construction of a house from timber takes less time compared to the use of other wooden materials. In addition, they are distinguished by excellent thermal insulation.
The construction of the house begins with the foundation. For a house from a beam, an ideal option is a strip foundation, and it is necessarily fine. We are talking about a depth of 50 – 70 cm. Such a foundation is suitable for weakly bundious soils. Otherwise, the upper layer of the soil surrounding the foundation must be insulated. This will help reduce the depth of freezing.
Log walls form the ranks of logs, which are laid horizontally. A series of logs, covering the entire perimeter, is called a crown. All rows together make up a log house. Connect logs through grooves, which, for purposes, heat insulation, insulate. The assembly of the log house does not occur on the foundation. The assembled log house is needed exactly six months to completely dry and settled. After that, it can be disassembled, not forgetting to numb the logs, and install it on the foundation. At this stage, insulation material is laid.
You can use two ways to cut the walls. Когда имеют дело с круглыми брёвнами, то применяют рубку «в чашку». With this method, more material goes. When cutting any log, a method called “in a paw” is suitable. In addition to the fact that the last method is more economical, it allows you to get more durable corner compounds. Assembly of walls from a bar, occurs according to the same scheme as logs. To provide the house with additional strength, drilled through the bars, sewed with metal ties covered with an anti -corrosion composition.
To determine the thickness of the beam will help the appointment of a house. For a summer house, a width of 15 cm will be sufficient, but if it is planned to live constantly in the house, then the width should be over 20 cm. If a decision has been made on the skin of the walls, then this should be done after a complete siege of the house occurs. Sheathe it only with dry boards.
The log house should be erected in parts, that is, after the part is collected on the ground, it needs to be disassembled and transferred to the foundation. The advantages of this method are that you can do without external forests. The novice builder will need two shifts. Of course, this will take more time, but this inconvenience compensates for the safety of work.
Lay logs so that the comments alternate with the peaks. Comel – part of the barrel that adjacent to the root.
The type of roof is again determined by the purpose of the structure. Individual houses, as a rule, have gable roofs. Such a roof is not only reliable, but also simply made. When the attic is planned as a dwelling, the roof can be attic. Roof -bearing design – rafters. They can rely on both the upper crown and on the supporting bars. After they are installed, you can lay a cornice flooring, and then sheathe the pedimental overhang. Then the crate is attached to the rafters, which form boards and bars. After that, it remains only to put the roofing material. Tiles are an ideal option when it is planned to live in the house constantly. For the summer cottage and slate is suitable. You can also use a steel sheet for flooring.
