For the market for building materials and, in particular, for the private structure of country houses, the post -crisis 2010 marked the beginning of progress and innovation. Moreover, we can say that of this, both positive consequences and negative. At least those people who began to build their country housing three years earlier, say that today they would do a lot differently or use other materials. However, everything that we perceive today as an innovation may simply not go through the test of time. After all, the house, or rather its walls and the design itself, is something that should not cause trouble for years and decades and generally give joy to its owners.
Wooden house construction today undergoes serious changes. Every year it is less and less reminiscent of “wooden” in its traditional plan. This is evidence of the program of the fourth Congress of the All-Russian Association of Wooden House Building, which took place at the end of November. At the events that took place even before the crisis, it was about the secrets of carpenters, about manual cutting, about the problems of woodworkers, after which all the accents were ridiculous to the rapidly far -made frame houses and glued constructions. The main trend this year can also be called a translation to industrial rails and the construction of rapidly vegetable structures, however, the number of issues under discussion was replenished by the fire resistance of the materials, which was due to the frequent fires last year, and the energy efficiency of the structures, because both the past and the current winter have fully confirmed The relevance of this issue.
The designated directions were presented at Congress congresses by representatives from Finland. And in fact, they are far from conservative, rather, on the contrary, they boldly combine the materials, not afraid to declare a five -story building monolithic with a concrete frame, and simply because the outer walls are from the panels that are decorated with wooden shields. In addition, the participants in the Congress are invited to make floors and rafters from the tree, which will be based on large-span glued structures (“House-concept-leadership”).
But it is bad here that modern wooden housing construction is associated with the use of chemistry: industry offers new antiseptics, antipyrene, thermal insulation materials based on foamed polyurethane. And this is also a new trend in our time.
If we consider European experience and distract from conversations at the congress, then you can notice exactly the same trend: wooden house building ceases to be truly wooden. To preserve the traditional appearance of the wooden house, the Finns make walls from the finest timber, insulating the construction of cellulose ecowide, in the production of which ordinary waste paper is used. Glued beams in these houses are used as corners. (Rantasalmi Oy). Looking at such a house from the side of the street, you can never guess that this is a frame house, not a log house. The house erected using this technology can really be called wooden, because an effective insulation for walls is made of cellulose, that is, the material that is directly made with the participation of the tree. In some regions of Europe, in which a more “humane” climate prevails, there are other trends. The main trend of recent years of German and British house -building exhibitions – Fahver structures with a large glazing area. In the development of these designs, such German enterprises as OSKOHOUSE, KUH, Baufritz succeeded.
Manufacturers of more traditional private houses in Europe set the conditions for compliance with energy consumption standards, which must comply with class A (and this is not only related to refrigerators). And fans of houses from high -quality, so to speak, “living” and environmentally friendly wood (dried profiled beams) will be disappointed when their whim will bring great financial costs. Houses made of glued timber are now a non -commissive pleasure, but European lobby houses are generally the destiny of wealthy aesthetes.
But it’s time to return to Russia. The main novelty of last year, standing attention, is a “wooden brick”. It is made of cut -off boards of coniferous species, such as spruce, larch, pine, cedar, which are previously dried. Wooden bricks differ from the classic beam size (650*190*60 mm), which allows you to collect absolutely any planning volumes from them. Their production benefit is that these bricks do not need long -dimensional blanks, since the scraps of dried high -quality lumber may well go into work. This technology actually has a future, because we begin to slowly understand what forest deficiency is.
