When choosing a material for building a house, take into account the cost and technical characteristics. These include the amount of shrinkage, the tendency to cracking, strength, protection from cold and other quality indicators. A bar or log can be solid, glued, profiled, rounded, so the choice of building material for the walls depends on many factors.
Characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of materials
There are types of buildings for which a timber is ideal, for others it is better to use a log. There are buildings that look good in two flavors. Warmth and internal comfort depends not only on the material, but also on the thickness of the walls, the technology of assembling the log house.
Features of assembly from a log and a bar:
- Lumber structures are erected from elements in which a bowl is slaughtered at the factory, therefore, when assembled, a labyrinth lock is obtained. A tourniquet is placed in the mezhventsovye grooves, such insulation is also used for bowls, therefore, blowing is excluded in all joints.
- In the logs in production, a "crescent groove" is formed; when assembling, a tourniquet is also laid in bowls and between the crowns. But labyrinth locks do not work out, since the bowls are not washed down during construction. After shrinkage, you need to caulk the walls.
Houses made of both materials equally warm, if you follow the construction technology correctly. Profile dried timber cracks lessthan rounded logs. Small cracks are observed in the solid timber, but in the glued timber there are almost no cracks.
