Secrets of building wooden houses and baths from masters of the company "Log House Rus"
The construction of wooden logs is a difficult process,
and it is sometimes difficult for a person, who is far from the construction industry field, to understand why houses built by different companies on the same project, firstly, have different costs, and, secondly, after several years, have completely different looks.
Then we begin to ask ourselves questions,
the answers to which we were able to get even before the construction began:
- Why in some houses it is always necessary to calk seams?
- Why do some logs have cracks in them in 2-3 years?
- Why in one house you can put a bed in the corner or near the window and you can sleep calmly,
not being afraid of draughts, but in another,
is the bed better placed near the inner wall?
- Why do the walls of the cylindrical log have deep side cracks in which moisture constantly accumulates?
- Why does mold and fungi begin to develop in the cavities?
There are many other different questions "why", which are belatedly asked by owners of wooden cottages and baths.
We will not list all these issues, but we will try to reveal the subtleties of building wooden houses,
so that you can understand what you pay for by ordering your house in a construction company.
You can save on what you can save on, and on what it is impossible to save on.
We will introduce you to everything we know and use in our work,
our "know-how" and
with the technologies used and in other companies.
Secrets
of handcrafted log home building and European technologies
Masters of company
"Log Russia" have a long-term operational experience
on designing and building of wooden houses and baths. This
experience mentions not only Russia, but also foreign countries,
first of all Norway, Germany, Spain, a number of other North
European countries.
Working with exacting
European customers, we have managed to master the modern technologies
of building and now we propagandize them in Russia.
In the given section
(it includes 10 articles) we will consider all processing
methods which we use in the work.
Among them it is necessary to allocate first four because
the given technologies practically are not used by other Russian
companies in full. Considering our democratic financial policy,
you can be assured that you can receive the house or a bath
of better execution for the same money, than in other companies.
We have tried to describe
essence of all techniques applied by us in detail (exclusive and
well-known). We hope, that the presented material will be interesting
and useful to you, will help to generate more intelligent opinion
on view of your future house. Besides, now you will know, on what
moments it is necessary to pay attention at the contract conclusion
to building of your future dwelling.
The
technologies distinguishing production of the company "Log
Russia"
"Curtaining
of external corners" - the German-Canadian technology
of formation of special gaps between logs on external corners
of house. Provides reduction of cracks within the precincts
of the house after its shrinkage. More
in detail...
Face
connection of logs in notches by means of metal buckles.
The German technology which is alternative to connection in
"a dove tail" and to use of cramps. Provides rigidity
of a design of a house, prevents occurrences of cracks in notches
and between logs. More in detail...
Creation
of notches in the Canadian technology. The classical Canadian
technology provides self-jamming of cracks in notches, appearing
at shrinkage of a log shell. More
in detail...
Use
of dowels in the Canadian technology. The dowel is an improvement
of classical technology of the Canadian notch, it provides the
big rigidity of design of house, and the main thing, reduces
"venting" of a corner and does the house warmer. More
in detail...
The
technologies applied also by other building companies
Application
of a special gap on an axis of logs in the invisible places,
carrying the name "undercut". The undercut provides
reduction of cracks formed after shrinkage of house, compensating
log deformation at formation of vertical cracks. More
in detail...
Drawing
of antiseptics on all latent surfaces in the course of building.
Prevents occurrence of fungi, mould in the places inaccessible
to natural airing: cups, grooves etc. More
detailed...
Use
of technological cuts for removal of loading and management
of formation of cracks in a log. Prevents formation of
cracks on visible parts of a log. More
in detail...
Registration
of window and door apertures for installation of joiner's
products (boxes, platbands, etc.). Gives beautiful appearance
to a whole house, does it warmer, provides convenient installation
of modern double-glazed windows. More
in detail...
Features
of technology of building of houses from an oval-flatten
(a semioval log) at building with the Norwegian bowl. More
in detail...
Joint
application of a round log and an oval-flatten at building
of wooden houses and baths. Optimum use of advantages of both
approaches to building of houses. More
in detail...
