The Canadian and Norwegian notch, the Norwegian oval-flatten. Curtaining
of external corners of a log house - German and Canadian technologies

apertures under windows, doors. Notches on walls for joiner's products,
a compressing box.
Secrets
of building of wooden homes and bathhouses from masters of the company
"Log Russia"
Building
of wooden log houses is a difficult process and to
the person far from the building industry, it is sometimes
difficult to understand, why the houses constructed by
different companies under one project, first, have
different cost, and, secondly, after the lapse of several
years, have absolutely various appearances.
Then we start
to ask ourselves questions, answers on which we were able
to have even before the beginning of building:
- Why
in some houses it is always necessary to calk seams?
- Why cracks are formed between logs after 2-3 years?
- Why in one house it is possible to put a bed in a corner or
near the window and it is possible to sleep comfortably, not
being afraid of draughts, and, in other, the bed is better for
placing near internal wall?
- Why on walls from a round log there are deep lateral cracks
in which the moisture constantly accumulates?
- Why in notches the mould and fungi starts to develop?
There are many other different "why" which with
delay are set to themselves by owners of wooden cottages
and baths. We will not result all of them, but we will
try to open building subtleties of wooden houses as it
became more clear to you, for what you pay money, ordering
yourselves a house in the building company. On what it
is possible to save, and on what it is inadmissible to save.
We will acquaint you with everything that we know and we use
in the work, with 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
