Wooden House Or Why Is It So Popular?

For today, many types of houses are being built from wood. This and logs from different logs (rounded, glued, sawn ...). And frame houses that are popular in the United States, as well as panel houses from Canada.

But one of the most ancient houses is considered to be a dwelling of hand-felling logs. The usual tree trunk is cleaned of bark and rounded, and grooves are made so that the logs can be easily connected. Logs themselves are drying up in the woods, when the house is already assembled. The shrinkage of the walls of this house takes place over a year. And only in a year in the new house it will be possible to make finishing works.

The construction of such a house is popular even now, although such construction is very long and not cheap at all. It has gained great popularity among domestic wealthy citizens.

But the construction of a simple log does not always find a response from the common people, who need to build a summer residence or permanent, in a very short time. Then the log rounded comes to the rescue .

It was cut down and by a manufacturing method made all logs round with absolutely identical diameter. This bar is very smooth, which allows you to accurately place them on top of each other. The interior trim does not require such a bar.

There is also a glued beam. The very name of this material indicates that such a log is glued together from two parts and during construction it gives absolutely no significant shrinkage. The length of the glued beam can be up to twelve meters.

American houses. Such houses we often see in Hollywood cinema and they consist of a wooden frame, which consists of different beams. Space in the frame is stuffed with a heater and sutured with chipboard. Such kind of houses causes in our people huge not trust and not acceptance, after all they look very flimsy, and at us have got used to build for centuries. The fact is that in the States very often there are tornodos that destroy everything in their path. And you can rebuild such a house very quickly.

The wooden house and its construction has always been inherent in Russia. It's not only about the good qualities of wood, but also in its accessibility. Our ancestors, not having modern building materials, but having extensive forests, perfectly learned how to build wooden houses.

New technologies have simplified a little the construction of wooden houses, without violating their qualities. For comparison: the thickness of the walls of a wooden house of 30 centimeters, enough to keep the heat in the house. Walls of brickwork must be at least 50 centimeters thick.

Such a significant difference is due to the low thermal conductivity of the wood. In this regard, there is less need for consumables to build a wooden house. Especially if the construction of the house is done with glued beams, this makes it possible to leave the inner walls of the house without finishing.

Everyone who plans to build a house should answer a simple but very important question: how much will all this cost? And in order to get the exact amount, you already need to know from what calculations it will be built (from a log, brickwork or foam concrete blocks). And do not forget about heating the house in winter, so that you do not spend on standard heaters for the dacha.

In connection with the fashion for an environmentally friendly product, wood becomes an indispensable material for the construction of residential buildings. The tree is absolutely clean from the ecological point of view. This is a natural material that does not have a negative effect on the human body. Not a lot of weight and ease of processing, these are also important technical indicators.

Due to the lightness of the wood, the total mass of the house is much smaller than that of the brick, hence, the foundation for such a house does not need to be deeply laid. Having such advantages over other building materials, the wood will not be pushed out from the construction site for a long time.

But the soul of a Russian person chooses a wooden house not because of money, but because he is handsome, majestic and lively.
