The construction of a timber house, like any other, has clear stages of its construction. Knowing their content and order allows not only to avoid a large number of errors, but also to simplify and systematize the work. And this, in turn, will reduce the time and cash costs for construction.
Plan for building a house from a bar
The construction plan includes three large parts – foundation arrangement, logging and roofing. You can turn on the stage «finishes» or external insulation, if necessary.
The foundation is equipped much easier than that of a stone house. The low weight of the log house allows you not to deepen the base, and with unstable soils, just expand the sole of the foundation or install a pile or even a columnar base. The only condition – The ideal surface level.
The first crown is placed on a waterproofing layer. It must be impregnated with an antiseptic. Targe of angle – «In the floor of the tree». The rest of the crowns are laid according to their order using the seal and the bastards. Nog – This is a vertical rod made of wood or metal with a diameter of 3 cm and up to 25 cm long. He additionally tightens the crowns among themselves, excluding the progress of both horizontally and twisting logs along the axis. They are put in a run in each row.
Window and doorways are performed taking into account further shrinkage of the house. Therefore, when installing boxes, technological gaps are needed. Their role is not only in the smoothing of the consequences of the possible shrinkage of the house, but also to be a kind of margin on «Fasting» walls: wooden house «Breathing» All your life, then «Expanding» in the heat and from moisture, then «Squeezing» In the cold.
The roof is made of trimming boards. Most often used rafters of type «dovetail». As soon as the construction of the box is completed, the installation of internal communications and wall decoration begins. For this, the facade can be cleaned and covered with enamel or varnish, and from the inside – freeze or paint with special compounds.
Brus construction technology
The actual technology for building houses from timber is quite simple. Brus houses come to the place in a disassembled state in the form of a neat stack of logs. Moreover, the modern beam often has a locking mount not only at the end of the log, which allows you to fix it at the corners, but along the entire length. In other words, a profiled beam is laid in a castle, which sometimes does not even require intervention. All that needs to be done by the builder – it is to lay the crowns in the correct sequence, checking with the project of the house.
Speaking of insulation. The technology of laying bars, especially smooth, without a lock profile requires insulation. As such, either a jute canvas or a special polymer gasket acts. The need for it disappears if the beam has a castle with a large number of teeth. Then the assembly is carried out without it, and the wall is very sealed.
The need for external insulation should be determined by the project, climatic conditions and wall thickness. If you bought a beam with a cross section of less than 150 and plan to live in such a house constantly – the hinged facade may well be required.
Particular attention during construction is paid to a homogeneous quality of material. Especially its humidity and proper geometry. If possible, purchase a beam with one batch, without additional purchases of the material. And be sure to process the tree with impregnations and primers to protect against moisture and insects. This will significantly increase the reliability and durability of the structure.
When erecting the base, it is necessary to withstand a strict horizon and the level of its aboveground surface. For greater leveling, when laying the lower crown, gaskets of different thicknesses are necessarily used.
