Construction of wooden houses from glued beams: ways to make a house even more cozy.
Probably, many noticed that the fire was popular for many centuries. And the 21st century is no exception. It can even be said that he has some kind of magical role in our life. We love him not only for warming or allows you to cook food, but also for the fact that he has a magical ability to relieve stress, to save us from anxiety and excitement. This was stated by our ancestors, and their opinion is confirmed by modern psychologists. Therefore, it is not surprising that a primitive person in his most primitive and first housing, and these were not wooden houses from a glued beam, but a cave, brought precisely fire, near which people constantly spent time. They also continued on it, but already in the cave, cook, rest and bask. But everything has such a property as changing. And it didn’t pass by the fire. After passing the whole stage of revolutions and changes, he gained a new look – fireplace.
Since ancient times, he was an indispensable element of any housing, as he warmed and gave the feeling of his own home to its owners. He quietly became almost the main attribute of a house of glued beam and it is already impossible to imagine what a design can be without this charms. The fireplace is a kind of source of energy and vigor. After all, it is not for nothing that they say that you can look at the fire forever. Many people turned evening gatherings by the fireplace into a real hobby, without which they cannot live.
Currently, the main purpose of the fireplace – the heating of the room has faded into the background. And the main function of the fireplace in a modern house is an elegant addition to style and design, emphasizing the restraint and reasonableness of its owner and giving aesthetic pleasure, in the love of this wonderful playing flame. That is why the construction of houses from glued beams should take a place for this indispensable element. If we say that the fireplace cannot heat the room, then this will be an extremely erroneous statement. Moreover, the fireplace is capable of in addition to heating and also hold the heat. A great option can be an elementary furnace, but with a more advanced smoke removal system. The inability of the fireplace in the heating of the house is explained by the fact that the space of a small depth, in the absence of a chimney, gives the fuel much more than the necessary air. It is as a result of this that most of the heated air goes through the chimney, and heating comes only from radiation from the flame of burning fuel.
In apartments located in large and medium cities, the use of a fireplace for heating is even less rational, but for rural areas too unprofitable. Even despite the fact that glued beam keeps excellent warmth, this heat will not be enough to heat the house. The use of furnaces will be more rational. The stoves differ from fireplaces not only in structure, but also in functionality. The stoves, in turn, heat up much longer, but, therefore, cool down longer, while giving heat. For comparison, I would like to specify a little numbers. For example, the efficiency of a classic fireplace is about 10-25%, and in turn, the efficiency of a modern furnace within 70-80%. There is the possibility of combining the pleasant with useful, that is, to improve improvement, and, consequently, an increase in the heat transfer of the fireplace. But if you mean fireplaces from imported manufacturers, then their efficiency is equated to the efficiency of a conventional furnace and accounts for about 70-80%. In the lower part it has levers of traction, heat -resistant door. But even in the presence of many positive points, of course, there is one negative – the cost of such a fireplace will be several times more, and this is not everyone pocket.
