Building a house from a bar: the classification of the material

Characteristics of classic timber: pros and cons

Varieties of timber are available in all construction outlets. This is a common material due to its convenient application and easy construction. Its use does not create additional problems with the internal improvement of the walls.

The beam is a popular raw material. It is distinguished by its naturalness, it does not contain impurities of chemical elements or harmful processing with artificial substances. The original form of the tree is unattractive.

A glued timber looks more aesthetic. In fact, wood raw materials require additional processing and chips by professional machines. Only after that it will be suitable for construction.

The unprepared bar, having its "initial" state, is inexpensive. If you have a wood machine, you can save a lot.

Allocate advantages:

1. The above cost. The development and production of material does not require a large expenditure of money. It "produces" nature. The main costs of the factories go to the frame and surface treatment.
2. Wide distribution on sale. You can buy in many shopping centers.
3. Ease of construction.

Cons:

1. The possibility of cracks in the structure of wood.
   
2. Need for an additional "frame".A house made of wood needs a protective covering and a façade finish.
3. Presence of wall level deformation. They can change their level position.
4. The need for processing the material with antiseptic solutions. This will help to avoid the influence of harmful insects, excessive accumulation of moisture, the appearance of fungus and discoloration.

Profile timber: usage characteristics

The profiled beam is a special type of construction timber. It is distinguished for its deserved popularity on a number of positive signs. The sale comes in an ideally processed form. Does not require additional "cosmetic" processes.

Source of raw materials - needles. The felled wood gets to the plant. There it is carefully cut and milled. During the processing, the future building material acquires the required shape.

You can see that many houses are built under the old style, copying a sample of construction of residential buildings of the past. The hilly surface of the facade is obtained due to the shape of the bar - the outer side is convex, the inner side is flat.

The main scope of the material - houses for the suburban area, cottages. They look very impressive and do not require excessive care.

Pros of this tree:

1. No harmful substances in the bar.
2. Holistic structure, excellent wood processing.
3. Quality air exchange. Unseen look of the builder porosity of the material is able to pass oxygen, eliminating the accumulation of moisture and spoilage of raw materials.
4. Pleasant microclimate at home. The permissible norm of moisture in the room and the saturation with oxygen.
5. The facade of the residential building looks finished and has an attractive appearance. There is no need to finish the outer walls, covering them with a warming layer.
6. The density of wood stowage. Lack of clearances.
7. Good tolerance of adverse weather conditions.
8. Average price policy.
9. High level of insulation of rooms.
10. Widespread prevalence in sales. Availability.

Cons:

1. The need for construction at a specific time of the year. In droughty weather, the beam can have cracks - an excellent source of moisture penetration in rainy seasons.
2. Construction of the timber occurs after the full filling of the material with its amount of moisture.
3. Not very convenient bar square section.

The second option is a log: is it worth to stop on it?

Log used its popularity in the distant past. It resembles an ordinary log house. Today it is actively used in the construction of residential buildings.

Consider the advantages:

1. The log has natural qualities. Its composition is saturated with useful resins, oils. Has a pleasant smell. The top layer is distinguished by a number of quality elements.
2. With self-processing of wood material its structure acquires additional strength.
3. Quality of construction. Guarantee of long-term preservation of the house.

With a high quality of raw materials and the ability to withstand the bad weather and external mechanical influences, the log has certain flaws:

1. Expensive material with an unbearable amount.
2. Duration of construction. The need to attract professional masters. Start laying the tree is at the first warming in the spring - so you can catch up to the cold.
3. A house made of logs can shrink. It has been going on for two years.
4. Over time, the house can grow by 10 percent.

In construction, various types of beams, logs and varieties of rounded material can be used. This is a factory option. Costly in terms of quality of processing. All units are given a monotonous appearance.

Note: When deciding to start construction of a cottage, it is important to promontory the prices and consult specialists about the quality of the wooden raw materials. A beam or log - it all depends on personal preference, financial possibilities and expectations from the future structure. Both options are eco-means, having their own, unique, differences. After the construction of the building, it is necessary to pay due attention to the care of the wood. Under the influence of rain, sunlight, its structure comes with years of unfitness.
