Houses from a bar: pros and cons, comparison

Each material, despite the fact that it can be completely natural, has a set of nice bonuses and frank, and sometimes conditional negative traits. The knowledge of the entire set of characteristics depends on the initially conscious decision that allows to avoid so many troubles, especially of a financial nature, when buying a material and then building a house out of it.

Let's talk about the comparison of materials.

What to compare with

In the construction of cottages from timber, three types of products are used, each of which, of course, has its own positive and negative sides, as well as limitations to use.

These are the following types of wood:

• On the usual timber with a variety of sections, which is more intended for the formation of the construction of floors, roofs, to a lesser extent for the construction of walls. Although this building material is very much in demand for frame construction, it is from it that the skeleton of the whole house or structure is prepared with the subsequent filling of the structure with various materials in order to form and insulate the walls.

Sometimes it also builds sheds or individual buildings for economic purposes. Considering the fact that the material is completely covered with other materials, we will omit the frame construction, especially since this is a separate and quite interesting topic of a great conversation. We turn our attention to the following representatives;

• Profiled beam. An interesting and very thoughtful product, although the conversation about the timber will go thoroughly and lower, I just want to say that although it will be made of solid wood, at least from several parts, it will perfectly cope with the tasks set;

• The third type of material is a rounded timber, and, to put it simply, a conventional log, which has undergone processing and has got the shape of an almost level cylinder, with a ready docking groove.

All these products are almost ready for use, but we will go over those that build high-grade wooden houses and other auxiliary facilities: garages, sheds, baths.

Profiled beam

It is difficult to say definitely what was before - the LEGO designer or profiled timber, but the idea of ​​ease of assembly is present in both of them. But seriously, a more thoughtful product than profiled timber is difficult to imagine. We have already said that it consists of either a whole piece of wood, or glued together from several parts.

Interesting to know! Glued analogue is quite an interesting development, since it consists of several parts, each of which has already been treated with an antiseptic. Such a timber can be made of boards of the same breed, and can be assembled from fragments of several rocks. In the process of bonding, it is ensured that the direction of the fibers does not coincide with each other, thus, additional density is achieved, and the thermal conductivity also decreases. As additional information, we would like to note that one part of the timber can have a rounded shape, which allows you to perfectly simulate a log.

About the advantages of the material

The pros and cons of houses from profiled timber directly depend on the set of these features inherent in the material itself. At the beginning of a positive:

• Despite the fact that timber can be not only from a single piece of wood, but also glued to the fortress, this does not affect, as defective boards are removed during the production process;
• Glued laminated timber has one very important advantage over solid logs, both profiled and cylindrical. Glued analogue is practically not subject to cracking, but solid products can crack;
• Environmental friendliness is still more inherent in solid products. Despite all the approvals and certifications, glued products contain gums in the resin, which, although they have a little pronounced degree, are still toxic;
• Modern technologies make it possible to create glued beams with a length of 6 and 12 meters, these standards are quite sufficient for the manufacture of houses not only economy, but also VIP classes. In addition, it is possible to “build up” the log and up to 20 m, which is clearly beyond the power of the equipment that processes the logs to the level rounded. These dlinnomery are also in demand and allow you to create a residence with any level of complexity of the design;
• The profiled bar of natural moisture makes it possible to prepare the grooves for the wiring, but you should not forget that, despite the antipyretic processing and wiring in special channels, it is better to make access to the wiring as accessible as possible;
• Each wooden product must be covered not only with antipyretic agents, but also with antiseptics, since a fire, a fire, and a tree can rot and sometimes even faster, do not forget about bark beetles and other pests. In glued beams, such processing has already been carried out; for other products, this procedure requires clarification from the seller. Not excluded the fact that these works you have to do additionally.

About the shortcomings are not forgotten

The disadvantages of profiled timber are mainly related to the violation of manufacturing technology, and this will concern the following aspects:

• The timber is able to lose several of its positive qualities in case there were violations in the drying process. The processes of changing the geometry of the grooves, distortions in the beams themselves are not excluded, which will certainly lead to the impossibility of proper installation of the material;
• The second negative point is more concerned with glued products, although it can apply to the same extent to whole profiled beams as well as logs. In case of incomplete processing of products with antiseptics, the processes of wood decay with the release of chemical compounds into the atmosphere are possible. Rotting in a solid wooden beam will result in the loss of one or more fragments;

Tip! Numerous workshops that are engaged in the manufacture of profiled beams, rounded beams are well aware of possible violations in production technologies, but they still put on sale substandard goods, accompanying it with seasonal promotions and other marketing tricks. Therefore, it is worth remembering that a low price can talk about the appropriate quality. Acquire wood from trusted companies, even if it is somewhat more expensive.

• And about the cons. Round timber is the cheapest product. In this, he is far superior to his competitors, but his styling will quickly reduce this difference, since almost all fitting is done manually and requires corresponding skills. So, as you already guessed, shaped timber is the most expensive pleasure.

Finally

Pros and cons are described, and passing through the malls, you can get a complete picture of the financial component of the problem. The video in this article is ready to reveal the topic.
