The plan of the house of timber and the type of materials

For those who own their own personal plot, there is always an opportunity to draw up a plan for building a private house from a timber, and then to carry it out.

The advantage of the cottage from the bar in its relative cheapness and speed, as well as the fact that the material itself does not simply refer to environmentally friendly elements, but the tree has antiseptic and healing properties. Now we have the opportunity to talk about the planning and construction of such buildings, as well as watch the video in this article on the same topic.

Layout дома и необходимые материалы

So, any owner of a personal plot, before starting construction, will ask a specialist or will make a plan of a wooden house from a timber using its own resources. On the basis of the received drawings, a foundation is made under the log house, and materials are harvested. The advantage of this construction is the specialization itself, because the timber in quantity and size is immediately procured for a specific project.

Layout

• Such a plan to build houses from a bar, as you can see on the top drawing, without much effort can be altered under an area of ​​6 by 9, 9 by 9 or 10 by 10 m, while the size of the rooms will simply change. Such a layout is suitable not only for giving, but also for permanent residence - there are enough rooms in the room that can be converted, or rather, used, at your discretion, depending on your needs.

• And above is another layout of a log house, only with pre-arranged furniture, that is, the sizes of the rooms are designed for standard furniture. In fact, this plan can be changed - it all depends on our needs. This drawing can be successfully used as a plan of a one-story house from a bar, because there are enough rooms for living here.

Attention! The foundation plan must exactly match the ground floor drawings. On a solid foundation, not only load-bearing walls, but also partitions should be erected, then the whole frame of the building will be as one unit.

• So, before starting the construction, it is necessary to perform the physical planning of the site, since it is customary for us to do this during or even after the construction, which, however, is almost the same. For some reason, the dominant view is that the essence of the lay-out lies in leveling the ground and marking the site with pegs without reference to the terrain. And after all convenience and terms of operation depend on last.
• First of all, you need to pay attention to the place where you are going to have a building, and if the site is free from any buildings, it will be much better if you move into the yard from the fence from the side of the road by at least 5 meters. It is also important to consider the location of the rooms relative to the cardinal points. Noise load from the street - the kitchen is better placed on the cool side, and for the bedroom you also need a quieter place. An abundance of sunlight is best to substitute the nursery and game room, as well as the living room.
• Not the last role is played by the wind load or the side from which the wind often blows in this area, because, despite the directions of the world, this area may turn out to be the coldest. Therefore, such zones are best fenced with the construction of so-called cold structures such as a veranda, a garage, and so on. This will allow you to significantly save on heating the whole house during the cold period of the year.
• Another important aspect of the planning can be called the binding of the project to the neighboring site, and it will be very good if it is already built up or at least marked up for construction. After all, in addition to the house, there are also plans for baths from a bar, various household outbuildings and toilets, and it is unlikely that you or your neighbors will want to have windows facing the closely located steam room where there is smoke from a pipe or a toilet.

Council Building a house at the highest point of your site will save your money on pouring the foundation, since such a foundation is less susceptible to groundwater, therefore, the foundation pit can be made smaller.

Briefly about the foundations

• Basically, strip foundations can be divided into two types - these are buried and slightly buried structures, which can already be monolithic and prefabricated. Naturally, they differ in depth, but the difference is not in the exact distance from the ground surface, but from the depth of the tape relative to the freezing point.
• So, for unstable soils (heaving, sandy, man-made, marshy) use a deeper foundation, where the base of the tape is below the freezing point for a given area, to avoid its deformation. As for shallow foundations, their depth varies from 40 to 60 cm, depending on the mass of the higher structure and density of the soil. Such plans of houses from a bar, with a strip foundation, are most convenient, as there is an opportunity for the equipment of the ground floor, basement or cellar.

• It is possible that the plan to build a house from a bar is designed for a pile foundation, although more often for screw piles are calculated for lighter structures (baths, summer kitchens). Such devices are good for all soils, with the exception of rock formations (only screw piles are meant). The main advantage of this design is the speed of installation, because if you wish, you can mount the base for a large wooden house in one day.

• It is possible, of course, to arrange rammed piles with your own hands, but such a process is more laborious, although the price of the material in this case will be much lower. For this, preliminary drilling is carried out, and the concrete is poured into the casing, the cavity of which is pre-reinforced. In fact, it turns out to be a bored foundation, but the time for mounting such a foundation will go a lot, because the solution must still harden.

• Very similar to the pile and column foundation, only here reinforced concrete slabs serve as supports. This option is quite reliable, but it is more time consuming due to the increase in the volume of earthworks. But if you still decide on the arrangement of such a structure, the reinforced concrete slabs are best to acquire factory, and not to do it yourself - so much more reliable and faster.

Construction Materials

• Immediately it should be noted that the profiled bar can be of two types - solid and glued and each of them has both advantages and disadvantages of the structure. The main advantage of any option in front of the log is that it does not need to caulk during installation, and it immediately fits on a dry key. Profile milling is performed in such a way that when laying on the key the drying takes place evenly outside and inside, moreover, the installation of walls with such material is carried out much faster.

• Profile milling is carried out very precisely, therefore, due to a snug fit, sediments do not stay on the surface, which protects the material from strong cracking. However, a solid timber is still subject to cracking, like any other wood, so special attention should be paid to its processing.
• But the main disadvantage of the profiled solid timber can, perhaps, be called the fact that after the box has been built, a technological pause is taken without fail. This is extremely important for the shrinkage of the profiles, since they shrink due to their structure, that is, there is a microstrain that does not allow for high-quality wall cladding. Therefore, with the natural moisture of the material, the instruction provides for its sludge up to 10-12 months for shrinkage, which means readiness for facial finishing.

• These flaws, which are listed above, do not have a glued profile, and, this applies not only to timber, but also logs. Such a material has all the advantages of natural wood, but it practically does not crack and the structure assembled from it does not have a moisture shrinkage. At the moment, production is gaining momentum in Russia, and the popularity of such construction is growing every day.

• It is imperative to mention such material as Thermobar Woodlock - PolarSIP panel, which is a profiled beam with polyurethane foam for thermal insulation inside, allowing almost half the consumption of wood for the construction of an object. The material is a rigid frame of two wooden lamellas with wooden transverse inserts, which are evenly spaced along the entire length. Inside this design is polyurethane foam, which is just the main thermal barrier, and all the material belongs to low-combustible elements.
• All the materials that we have reviewed above are environmentally friendly, and fit the very different plan of houses from a bar. At the same time, the appearance of the walls being erected will change somewhat, and the timing of the final completion of construction and commissioning of the house will also change.

Conclusion

In fact, plans for the construction of houses from a bar differ little from the same blueprints for buildings that are being built from a foam block, since both materials are lightweight and do not need a massive foundation. But, nevertheless, the project of the house is always drawn up taking into account the material, its properties, as well as positive and negative qualities.
