Houses from dry profiled timber: features of the material

Building

In low-rise construction, innovative materials from natural wood are successfully used. Quality houses made of dry profiled timber from the manufacturer have a relatively low cost and are very comfortable to live. This explains their high popularity abroad and the growing interest in our country. Like any material - timber has well-defined properties, both positive and negative.

In the USA, Canada, and the countries of the Scandinavian Peninsula, it has been produced and used for quite some time. Operating experience shows that the total cost of the construction and maintenance of buildings from a bar profiled is lower than the corresponding figures for buildings made of brick. This is a significant plus in the conditions of growing crisis in the economy of almost all countries.

In the Russian Federation, projects of houses from dry profiled timber are developed taking into account the requirements of national standards and regulatory documents. Manufacturing companies offer ready-made kits of typical buildings, as well as the development of individual options for country houses. In the first case, the cost will be lower, since the costs of the settlement and design work are carried out once for a series of buildings.

Additional cost savings are possible with self-installation of a country house or cottage from a profiled bar. In this case, you will need detailed instructions on the order of installation, the minimum skills and a few assistants. The production technology of assembly kits involves the preparation of timber for assembly with a sample of wood to connect the crowns.

The specifics of the production of houses from profiled timber

Coniferous wood is mainly used for the production of this building material: pine, spruce or larch. The best characteristics of trees have a range of growth, which is located in the northern regions. This is due to the harsh climatic conditions, the characteristics of local soils and the specifics of plant development. In our country, the best forest for these purposes is in the Arkhangelsk Region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Timber harvested in these places is supplied to specialized woodworking plants. Here they are subject to the chamber drying procedure under special conditions. The temperature regime is chosen in such a way as to reduce the moisture content to a residual one and at the same time prevent cracking or deformation of the wood.

Scope of delivery of timber for a typical house

The sawn timber prepared in this way goes to the workshop for processing purposes, which give it a special shape. In the cross section of the beam has the shape of almost the right square. Its two opposite sides are flat and, after assembly, form the inner and outer surfaces of the wall. The remaining faces have grooves and ridges that, when joined, form a fairly dense joint.

Technological process of profiling timber

The sawlog dried up to the necessary level arrives on a site where it is dismissed on preparations. The log is installed on the sawmill and is dismissed in length on the bars of a certain size.

Different equipment can be used to perform this operation: tape, frame or disk. Trimming is performed from two sides simultaneously with the formation of the so-called laft.

The processing of the workpiece and the formation of the required profile

It is the basis for sawn timber, which, in turn, are already cut into timber. As a result of this operation, billets of different sections are obtained, the most popular are 150 * 150, 200 * 200, 200 * 100 mm and the like. Now the raw material enters the area of ​​forming the required profile.

This technological operation can be performed in two stages:

  1. Planing is the formation of the inner and front surface. Overwhelmingly, the first side is made flat. The outer surface can be convex or smooth with chamfering along the entire length;
  2. Milling is achieved by the formation of one or more spikes and grooves. At the same time for opposite sides they are mirrored.

Such a multi-stage method of production of timber allows you to more efficiently use the raw materials, rather than simply milling a cylindrical log to the required size. The price of such material turns out to be too high and unprofitable for the producer and the consumer.

Formation of wall kits

The prepared timber enters the temporary storage warehouses. In its production are used blanks of different lengths, respectively, it is sorted by frame sizes.

Upon receipt of the order for the manufacture of the house according to the standard or individual project, the production of the wall set is carried out in the following order:

  1. the selection of the necessary material in the warehouse and its delivery to the workshop;
  2. according to the project documentation, the timber of the required length is cut from blanks;
  3. wood is sampled in certain places to form so-called connecting cups;
  4. at the final stage, the package is formed and prepared for shipment to the customer.
Ready to ship kits

Transportation of construction kits is carried out by freight transport.

Note! When performing this operation, it is necessary to protect the building material from precipitation. On the construction site it is recommended to place it under sheds.

Given the relatively large amounts of materials that need to be delivered to the work site, deliveries are often made in parts according to a schedule agreed upon with the customer and the contractor.

Many companies offer a comprehensive solution to the problems of building houses from a bar. They are engaged not only in the delivery of kits, but also in assembling them in a prepared area. In this case, the customer enters into a contract, makes payment, and eventually receives a ready-made housing. Saving money is possible if you perform all installation operations yourself without the involvement of specialists.

Installation of houses from ready-made kits

Profiled timber is used for the construction of buildings for various purposes. It can be residential country log houses, cottages, cottages, saunas, baths and even gazebos and summer pavilions. Such structures have an attractive appearance and do not need additional finishing, both outside and inside. This is also a fairly large item of cost savings, allowing you to reduce costs.

Jute fiber wall insulation

Construction of houses from dry profiled timber is carried out taking into account the climatic zone. So, for most of the settlements of our country, a wall thickness of at least 200 mm is required for residential premises. High thermal insulation of the walls is achieved by careful adjustment of tongue-and-groove joints, as well as the use of additional tape heaters for timber.

The most commonly used sealant is jute, its main advantage is the low cost and the almost complete absence of shrinkage. Structures of timber, like any other, over time, precipitated by the natural process of controlling the moisture content of the material. For a wall with a height of 2500 mm, this figure is 100-150 mm for a bar of natural drying, and 50-75 mm for a bar of chamber drying.

This fact must be taken into account during the final finishing cycle of the interior.

Order of installation of structures

Building a house from a profiled bar is made on a previously prepared basis. Experts recommend laying the foundation to perform in the fall and leave until spring in order for it to precipitate.

With the beginning of the construction season on the basis of laying brick basement. Special attention is paid to the foundation waterproofing, for this purpose roofing material or other material is placed on top of it.

The order of assembly of houses from ready-made wall sets is as follows:

  1. The bottom trim is assembled from a timber that fits on the upper surface of the base and is fixed. Anchor bolts are mainly used for this;
  2. The lags are fixed to the bottom trim, on which the sub floor is installed;
  3. When assembling log houses, steel or wooden pins are used. Experts recommend the use of birch connecting elements.

Useful advice: House set of dry profiled timber after completing the assembly and leading under the roof is left alone for shrinkage for up to six months. During this time there is a natural regulation of the humidity of the log house. After this period, you can begin to finish.

Conclusion

The house of dry profiled timber, according to many owners, is suitable for comfortable year-round living. To reduce the cost of its construction is possible in the event that the assembly will be made by hand.
