Technology of log homes
The log house is one of the most comfortable and convenient for life buildings. On the advantages of a log home can talk endlessly. The main ones are:
• Environmentally friendly and comfortable accommodation. The wood has a unique structure - inside at the cellular level is a constant exchange of air. The walls of the house are constantly chopped "breathe." In Your House by the hand of the log cabin is always maintained optimum humidity and oxygen balance. In addition, the natural properties of the wood are very beneficial effect on the health of living in a wooden house people.
• Heat. Due to the low thermal conductivity of wood (3-5 times less than that of a brick) in log houses warm in winter and cool in summer. The walls of the timber does not require additional insulation, even in the harshest conditions.
• Durability. Log houses from logs manually logging in durability far superior home from a bar, panel and frame houses, and through the use of modern fire and bio protective materials approaching the durability of brick houses.
• Aesthetics. Their beauty is hard to find something more natural and appropriate for a country house or dacha than natural wood finished surface with its unique pattern.
However, all of these advantages will be opened fully only under the condition that at all stages of the construction of a log home will be operated technological requirements, developed centuries old wooden house and needed to get really high quality log houses.
On this page we will explain how the process of building log homes from manual cabin log cabins in the performance of building our company.
In order to build a log house needs a Solid choice coniferous forest. Softwood logs are different even and dense internal structure, as well as high breathability. In this case, a thermal conductivity of wood is close to zero, which means the house will always keep warmth and comfort. In Chuhlomskih edges (Chuhloma - a small town in the Kostroma region, famous for its craftsmen of wooden construction) grow best eco-friendly timber softwood (pine and spruce), the most suitable for the production of log houses and baths. The presence of our company in the lease significant forest allows, before the wizard will start the construction of the framework, to produce high-quality selection of wood. Lease forests are in deep forest resources of our area, which in turn affects the quality of the wood. Wood is less affected by factors of environmental pollutants. Its trunk of the trees, and even longer, as opposed to growing on the edges of fields and roads, which allows to cut large log without using "Stycznia" logs. An important advantage is environmentally friendly and low natural background radiation of our forests, which has a positive effect on the human body.
Masters assign plots in the forests of conifers. This procedure is very important. Need to pick up even stands about 23 to 32 cm in diameter. Then the forest loggers felled and trelyuyut tractor to the site specifically set up for peeling and chopping log cabins. Designed for cutting wood log should not be touched by a fungus. To check the logs carefully tap an ax, thus should be heard clean and clear sound.
Gang masters cabin cleaning produces wood that is debarking ax. You can also make cleaning scraper (this old instrument masters like sickle, after stripping wood scraper will be more clean and white than in the wooden house of debarked logs) or power planer (after processing a plane logs are smooth and clean, like cylindered, but the in contrast to the logs, the protective layers of wood are preserved). It should be noted that in accordance with the technology of building log cabins processing power planer we produce on a platform before felling a log house (with diesel power), which allows for a more snug fit in the wooden house of logs together.
Then the master of the project size log home mortgages saw off a log, which will be cut down from the first row. It will be thicker in diameter than the other logs. This is done in order to lower crown rot long and, in addition, it cut one sex beams (joists). Then all of debarked wood wizard diameter logs are selected for the following crowns log. When cutting very carefully follow the geometry of the framework to prevent distortions.
In order to log in the wooden house flat against each other, marking vrubok perform special tool - bar. Drawn groove logs and lock in the corners of the framework. The castle is usually done in the "cup" or "leg" (in the bowl corners are exposed at the edge of the framework, in the paw timber opilivaem exactly on the walls). After pricherchivaniya sawed and chopped with an ax and groove locking logs. To maintain a vertical wall using a "level." After the end of the last cutting of the crown, to be marked on the corners - on it chuhlomsky frame assembled on the construction site.
After felling cut down on our site in Chukhloma its disassembled and delivered by road to the site of the customer. Here, at the site of carcass was collected on the foundation, but with a seal in the grooves of a heater. As a heater log homes are usually used moss or tow. We prefer to use moss, because it, unlike the tow is not picking up moisture and also acts as a natural antiseptic.
When the frame is fully assembled, installing roof system, cubicle attic sheathing, roofing and CLADDING pediments (if not chopped) and cornices, and the installation of the sub-floor. As such, the framework has to stand for 6-9 months, then you can make internal and external decoration.
This is due to a break in construction technology, building a house, namely the fact that the drying timber frame settles, which in turn causes damage to chimneys, windows, doors, the appearance of cracks and fissures in the finishing decoration. Therefore, immediately after the assembly of the framework to produce final finishing is not recommended.
Recovered log is fine finish from a log home: the device floor, ceiling, walls, attics and porches lining, installation of doors and windows.
Options for interior log houses set, so we will not detail to dwell on it. We note only that in order to log house was really warm, a year and a half after the installation of the framework necessary to make konopatki log as shrinkage logs dry unevenly and there are gaps between them.
Here we list the main stages of the construction of log homes, under which your home will be your reliable and comfortable housing for many years, but there are many nuances that can not be described in a short article, and that the master is transferred from generation to generation. Ordering near this house in our company, you will get a reliable Solid log house, the construction of which will be complied with all the necessary technology wooden house.
