Traditionally in Rus’ the house was built from wood. And in the twenty-first century, considering the projects of houses for suburban and cottage construction, people still prefer this widespread building material. It is distinguished by environmental friendliness and high physical indicators. The unique natural energy of spruce, larch, pine trees can not compare with stone buildings.
The advantages and advantages of wooden houses are undeniable. A pit of a shallow depth is required to arrange the foundation of such real estate. The structure made of wood is smaller than similar from brick. This means that the construction of the foundation will require less costs than when installing the foundation of a brick house.
The low thermal conductivity of wood building materials can also save on insulation, as well as heating during the operation of such houses. The thickness of the walls of a wooden house is 150-300 mm, and in brick houses it is at least 510 mm. At the same time, walls in wood houses are highly durable.
The advantages of wood buildings do not end there. Building houses can be carried out in any season. The construction of brick buildings in our climatic conditions has a seasonal restriction or requires the use of special construction technologies.
Interior decoration of wooden real estate can be carried out in different ways. You can traditionally paste the walls with wallpaper or finish them with European arts. And houses made of high -quality logs do not require any finishing events at all.
Of course, wooden housing construction has its disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that this material is susceptible to the negative effects of moisture, sun, mold fungi and insect-pests. However, modern processing technologies make it possible to make wooden houses for durable. A wide selection of paints and varnishes in the modern market and the right choice of coating guarantee protection of such real estate.
Particular attention should be paid to the quality of building materials. Starting the construction of the house, it is necessary to take into account the heterogeneity of the longitudinal and transverse fibers, high porosity, the structure of different wood species.
The fire hazard of such structures is actually greatly exaggerated. In principle, it is no more than that of a stone building. Brick masonry after a fire is not subject to restoration, as it loses more than half of its strength. Increase the fire resistance of wood by processing antipyrens. Special chemicals introduced into logs or boards in a certain concentration prevent their fire.
The advantages of wooden houses are undeniable. It is no coincidence that today they displace brick buildings from the market. Modern technologies, the use of high -quality wood building materials allow you to build reliable and durable wooden country houses and cottages. The costs of such measures are significantly lower than during the construction of stone houses. This allows you to meet almost any budget.
