You are planning to build a country house. First of all, you need to decide what type your new home will be and from which it will be built. In our country, country houses are built, as a rule, from wood. However, in this case, you need to know a lot: which wood to choose, what are the pros and cons of different trees, what properties do these rocks have. The solution to this issue will help you choose exactly the material from which it will stand for a long time.
The most popular materials in Russia are a galbed log and a profiled timber. Let’s try to understand these materials.
The highest quality allocated logs are produced in Finland. However, this material is designed for a warm soft climate and is suitable for the southern regions, where, as a rule, there are no severe frosts.
Brous houses are much more popular. Such houses have less thermal conductive, and to heat them in winter to a comfortable temperature requires only a few hours. In addition, the walls of houses from the beam are able to remove excess humidity, which can have an unpleasant effect on a person. Brus -long houses can stand for a very long time, more than a hundred years.
However, such houses also have their disadvantages. They are fire hazardous and subject to various pests from the world of insects. You can process the house from the beam with special means against fire and insects, spending additional cash. True, this is quite expensive and does not guarantee a complete guarantee of protection. Your expenses may not be justified. In addition, the beam can be deformed when dried, but this can also be avoided using, for example, hemping of all walls or the lining of the house from the beam inside and outside with a lining or something similar.
Glue wood is also used to build country houses. In the manufacture of this material, the latest technologies are used and it is deprived of the shortcomings of which we examined above the timber and the gallected log. Before gluing, the wood is cleaned of all knots and bumps, all components are selected by color and texture. From glued wood, not only walls are made, but also ceilings, beams and other elements of the house. However, this is a very expensive material, a square meter can cost from $ 200, so not everyone can allow it to build a country house.
In any case, choosing material for the home, proceed from your wishes, opportunities and needs.
