Features of the Finnish house from glued beams, reviews, characteristics and technology of construction

Wooden houses have never lost their popularity. They have long been famous for keeping warm well, and the microclimate inside the buildings has the most beneficial effect on the health of the people living in them. But if for centuries the traditional material was an ordinary log, today a fairly wide range of various products from wood is represented on the market.

One of the representatives of this class of building materials is a glued beam. It is used for erecting buildings of various purposes - both residential and economic. Recently, projects of Finnish houses from laminated veneer lumber are becoming more and more popular, the reviews about which are quite good. Here about their features and talk.

But here you need to clarify which bar is used, namely, on what technology is the house built? This should be noted especially, since the present Finnish house should also be built from blanks produced by the Finnish method. Otherwise, it makes no sense to evaluate its merits and compare it with analogues. By the way, many negative reviews about such houses are caused by the low quality of the glued beam used.

Beam

Today, you can find a lot of advertising "enticements" of various companies offering to buy this building material, and of the highest quality and at a very reasonable price. There is no point in arguing - the glued beam has many advantages and in many respects surpasses the log. But it should be made clear that the present Finnish house should be built from the present Finnish glued timber .And it can not be cheap in principle. Why?

First, in the postwar period in Finland began to specifically grow coniferous species, which were then allowed to be piled. Therefore, all wood had the same characteristics( for example, humidity).Even a possible slight shrinkage will be uniform in all parts of the house, which will eliminate any "skewing" in the construction.

In addition, only trees grown in the northern latitudes( the geographical position of Finland) go into production. This kind of wood is distinguished by its strength, durability. And what use do many domestic producers? And importantly - the Finns harvest raw materials only in the winter. And we have a "felling" all year round.

Secondly, slats in the Finnish beam core always "look" outward, and the arcs of the annual rings are directed to the center. If you look closely at the products of some domestic manufacturers, you can see that both are often located horrendously. There is an opinion that such technology( different directions of fibers at gluing) is the only correct one. It turns out that the Finns are mistaken? And what about the quality of their homes, which has received worldwide recognition and is considered a standard?

bar Third, the thickness of the lamellas. At "Finns" it is sufficient that glue was not absorbed on all depth of a material. After all, in this case, wood simply can not "breathe".Therefore, for example, in a Finnish bar a cross section of 200 mm of lamellae is only 3, and in the domestic 5 - 6. This means that for "Finns" raw materials are thicker and durable( but more expensive) tree trunks.

Fourth, the lamellae are the same color. This means that they are all from the same kind of wood. And some manufacturers often do "assembly", combining in one "gluing" lamellas from expensive and cheap breeds. The price of the beams is reduced, but the quality is much lower.

Fifthly, should also take into account customs fees paid for the import of products.

Now that the respected reader has understood how to choose the real Finnish building material, it's time to talk about the structure itself.

Features of the Finnish house

Possibility to build a "light" foundation, since the weight of such buildings is relatively small. The characteristics of the soil have a strong influence on the choice of building material. Not every place can be used to build the desired structure, as there are "problem" soils( for example, sandstones, "inconvenient" aquifer configuration).For the Finnish house there are no such restrictions.

It should also be taken into account that only on a light foundation can you save up to 1/5 of all construction costs.

There is an opinion that light Finnish houses are only for living outside the city in the summer. Do not confuse frame-panel structures with timber!

Minor shrinkage - this allows you to settle the house immediately after the construction is completed. An analysis of the reviews of Finnish houses from glulam timber shows that their owners do not have to "puzzle over" for a while how to eliminate the distortions of window and door openings, the swelling of the floors and many other similar defects.

The high-quality glued beam does not rot, does not twist, is not subject to cracking and, strangely enough( after all wood), burns very badly.

The present Finnish house is on the 1st floor. There may be only a mansard room. Required 2 entrances / exits( from the facade and the courtyard).

Increase the area of ​​the building, as well as its functionality due to the mandatory arrangement of various balconies, outdoor areas, terraces, verandas.

Distinctive interior layout in which all rooms are spacious. Kitchen and living room are not separated by partitions, doors, but represent a single space. High window openings are a must. It is due to them that sufficient natural illumination of premises is provided in short winter days.

Unlike our homes, the Finnish ceilings are somewhat lower. So Finns save on heating and building materials. A sauna is always arranged in the dwelling, as well as a large number of auxiliary rooms - storerooms. The fact is that given the peculiarities of the Scandinavian climate, large snow drifts, Finns prefer that all supplies are not on the site( shed, cellar), but in the house. But the garage is in the distance, so that the stubborn smell of petroleum products does not penetrate into the premises.

No need for additional "powerful" insulation. The quality of the jointer joint is so high as in these places, and there are not any crevices along the entire length of the blanks. And if you take into account that even in severe frosts the heaters do not have to be turned on at full capacity, then the savings are obvious.

It should be noted that " they have " energy costs are quite expensive. In addition, a good "tightness" of the house provides and excellent sound insulation.

This is due to the increased strength and stability of Finnish houses. Winters in Finland are snowy, so the whole construction is done taking into account the ability to withstand an impressive layer of snow. This also affects the shape of the roof - it is sloping, gable. In these Finnish homes, as a rule, under it are sleeping rooms.

Recommendations

  • Today, many firms and firmochki offer the construction of Finnish homes on a turn-key basis. We must immediately ask about the quality of the material used. If you really spend money, then the real Finnish glued beam. This is a guarantee of durability.
  • You can reduce costs if you purchase( or order on your project) a set of necessary blanks and assemble this "designer" yourself. Given the strict dimensions of all parts, it will be easy to do, especially since the "serious" manufacturer marks all the details and applies the installation instructions to the products.
  • It is necessary to pay attention to the cross-section of the beam. It must correspond to the climate of the place of residence. A larger size is not needed, but such blanks are more expensive. You must choose yourself, and not be satisfied with what the Seller will offer, since for him the main thing is sales.
We should not forget that the main thing is not only the quality of the bar, but also the professionalism of the person who carried out the construction. And good news - recently there has been a clear tendency to lower the price of this building material.
