Recently, the construction of environmentally friendly materials has become quite popular. First, such houses create comfort and comfort, secondly, you will definitely won't threaten a different kind of allergies, thirdly, it is prestigious, fourthly, in this way you can show the social status of the family. Many appreciated the house of the house and now choose a specific material for its construction - a log or a bar.

Many argue about what is better - to build a house from a bar or logs. People turn to those skilled in the arts are advised to builders, consult on the Internet forums with household owners and argue, argue, argue - sometimes to hoarseness. In fact, there is no unambiguous answer "good" or "bad" to which it is necessary to rely, choosing the material. But one can analyze each building material separately and make the appropriate conclusions themselves.

Nautual bar

The house from the usual timber belongs to convenient and rational construction, as it is not necessary to customize the wooden elements, there are huge opportunities for working with interior decoration, and this is very appreciated by those who love an individual approach to design solutions.

Buy a bar under the house - under its construction - it is possible in any construction company, because it is the easiest material from all existing types of timber. It is worth noting that the most ecological material, as a person has attached to him the least effort. True, the appearance of the unrestruganized bar is very modest and not so unprepared, as in profiled or glued, and it needs finishing works, and sometimes to independent preparation for subsequent work. But there is a positive moment - the price of a bar of needed is much less than on other varieties of this material.

Bar usual: Advantages

1. Price. Due to the fact that the process of production of this material is very simple, the price of it is very low, compared with other varieties of wood.
2. The easily accessibility of the material is on all construction firms.
3. Easy in the construction of walls.

Bar usual: disadvantages

1. Often, cracked appear after shrinkage.
2. Outside, additional extraction is required - for example, a covering with another material.
3. Very often, the timber begins to deform, after which the gaps appear, and the walls of the building are pushed.
4. If you do not proceed with a bar with an antiseptic, then wood can shoot.

Profiled bar

During the construction of houses today, a profiled bar is often used - this high-tech natural building material, which is very convenient in construction.

This variety of timber is made of coniferous trees. Production technology is as follows: first planing, then milling. During manipulations, Brus is given its form - it may be the most diverse.

Basically, the outer side of the profiled timber has a convex surface, and the inner, which is facing the house - flat. But some manufacturers make the bar flat on all sides, or convex on both sides.

The top and bottom of the profiled timber is notched in the form of a groove and spike - they are displayed mirrored.

The profiled timber is a very successful solution for various residential premises. From this material, very beautiful cottages and country houses are obtained, which absolutely do not require any additional work on the external finish, thanks to the perfectly smooth surface of the material. Your construction will definitely look neat and cute after the timber dries in natural conditions.

Profiled timber: Advantages

1. The profiled timber belongs to one hundred percent natural construction material that does not contain synthetic and chemical components.
2. The profiled timber is solid wood, high-quality processed outside.
3. The houses from the profiled bar are able to "breathe", since their natural structure will not be disassembled in these materials and their natural structure is not violated.
4. Thanks to the natural structure of the profiled bar, the optimum humidity will always be supported in the house and air exchange will easily occur.
5. The profiled timber attached home to the house.
6. The profiled timber is perfectly adjacent to each other - it gives excellent thermal insulation.
7. The house from the bar is not blocked by the wind.
8. The profiled timber protects the house from the occurrence of foci of rotting, since thanks to a strong clutch in the grooves, water does not fall from the rain and after melting snow.
9. Houses from the profiled bar are more expensive than from the usual, but cheaper than from glued. It is believed that the profiled bar is two times lower than the glued bar.
10. Houses built from profiled bar are very warm.
11. To facilitate the installation of the building, the angular elements can be ordered in advance at the factory.
12. The profiled bar gives the minimum shrinkage in contrast to the usual and glued bar. Cedar and pine give a shrinkage about 3.5%, and larch - about 4.5%.
13. The building from the profiled bar does not need a ponopath at the junction of BRUSEV, which is necessarily in the construction of a house from the logs.
14. The profiled bar does not need an additional insulation - it will be enough to put the jute in the grooves.
15. The profiled timber is considered the most rational solution in the construction of the house, as it is perfectly combined with the price and quality, and still it is not difficult to build out of it.

Profiled timber: flaws

1. The finish of the house can be performed only after the profiled timber picks up the relative humidity needed for it.
2. When drying a profiled bar, cracks may appear in it, which depend on the time of the year the structure was erected. If the house was built at low temperatures, then the crack will be small, besides they will be small, and if the house was built during a hot temperature, then the crack will be larger and they can be an impressive size.
3. On the total quantity of cracks after drying a profiled timber can affect the transverse cross section. Due to the fact that due to the internal stresses arising from different degrees of degree, the cracks will appear where the cross section has a large area.
4. A profiled square sections forms cracks from all sides.
5. To control cracks on a profiled timber, it is necessary to make inspirations - they will refine the crack line in the future.

Glued bar

The glued bar, as is clear from the name, these are glued together. The manufacturing technology of this building material is very expensive - both in time and for money, so the glued bar is much more expensive than profiled.

The technology is as follows:

1. The logs are cut on the boards (their different sizes - depending on which end targets are being pursued, that is, what form and size from the bar will be).
2. Boards - they are also called lamellas, subjected to drying. This happens in special chambers where the material can achieve the degree of residual moisture - from 10 to 12%.
3. After the chambers, the boards are treated with antipirens and antiseptics.
4. After treatment, the lamellas are placed on each other and combine with the help of a microspip.
5. The obtained billets are stored, and then glued to the finished beams.

Lamed in the finished building material - glued timber, can be located both vertically and horizontally. And the number of boards can be from two to five, so the maximum thickness of the finished profiled bar is 250 mm. As a result, a completely finished glued bar has a natural profile or one that is obtained by the milling of beams.

Currently, the glued bar has several varieties of purpose: wall, window, carrier.

Glued timber: dignity

1. The house of glued bar is very beautiful - it does not require any trim, since this building material has high quality facial sides. The boards that are used for this are high-quality wood from which defects and knots are removed. At the same time, all boards for glued timber are selected in color, texture, structure, which allows you to have a perfect bruster perfect appearance.
2. In operation, the glued bar does not lose shape and does not change its size, because for the manufacture of this material they use dried boards, and this means that the finished glued timber will not be internal voltage, which is characteristic of solid wood.
3. The glued bar is known in that it does not give a shrinkage, it does not crack, it does not twist and not bend.
4. The glued bar is very dense and durable building material. It exceeds solid wood indicators for these criteria somewhere on 50, or even all 70%.
5. Machining glued bar, experts set the opposite direction for wood fibers in the boards, thanks to this, the deformation of the bar is excluded, even if the humidity changes, this type of timber will still "not behave."
6. The house of glued timber is built very quickly, as the installation does not take much time. All this is due to the fact that the parts are manufactured at the factory and are ideal for each other. On average, the installation of the house from the glued bar takes a little over a month.
7. The house of glued timber can be built at any time of the year, since the shrinkage of this material is no more than 1%. That is, it is possible to add it immediately after construction.
8. The glued bar is not subject to pests and pathogenic microflora.
9. The glued timber is considered more durable and fire-resistant.

Glued bar: flaws

1. High value material due to the complexity of the manufacture of glued timber. On average, the price is higher than the cost of a whole bar three times.
2. The glued timber is considered no longer an extremely eco-friendly building material, despite the fact that its manufacturers claim the opposite, they say, the glue composition, which the boards are absolutely natural and does not interfere with the "breathe" by glued bruus.

Whole log

Houses from the logs were built by our distant ancestors - it is enough to remember the logs, many of which have come to the present day. Moreover, builders in those distant times could build a house without a single nail - one ax. And at least those craftsmen have already been almost left, today the popularity of wooden construction is gaining momentum.

Whole log: advantages

1. Protective layer on logs, which is rich in wood resins.
2. If the log is processed manually - as in the photo, it will crack much less.
3. The home log house is considered one of the most reliable buildings.

Whole log: flaws

1. The cost of the construction is very expensive., So in itself logs, it is known that the price is sometimes the transcendental.
2. Construction progresses not quickly, it is necessary in reserve in addition to work.
3. So that the house gives the shrinkage must wait about two years.
4. Shrinkage can sometimes reach 12%.

Rounded log

Cylindered logs (OCB) are logs that are processed by special equipment until they reach one diameter over the entire length and until they are given to the desired profile. After all these machinations, the factory equipment, the trunk acquires aesthetic appearance, however, the logs are listened to the protective layer, thanks to which the tree remains longer and the construction is very long. Modern funds come to the help of logs that help wood compensate for the lack of a protective layer.

Rounded log: Advantages

1. The construction of the house from the log takes a little time, unlike the log cabins.
2. Cylindered logs are cheaper.
3. The houses from the rounded log are very beautiful.
4. Houses from the rounded logs retain low thermal conductivity, natural air exchange and healthy energy.
5. Thanks to the exact processing of logs, they are clearly customized to each other - it improves thermal insulation.
6. Walls of rounded logs are not blocked even strong staudes.

Rounded log: Disadvantages

1. The house of the rounded log gives a shrinkage for a long time.
2. After shrinkage, an additional caulkite is needed.
3. The logs have low protected from various weather factors.
4. The logs can give cracks - sometimes there are a lot of them, and if moisture falls there, the tree will start rotting.
5. The house of the rounded log is the most fire-hazardous version of the structure, therefore, heating and electricity systems need to pay close attention.

Summing up

Before building a wooden house, you need to choose a building material. When choosing should not rely on "Avos", it is better to weigh everything "for" and "against" in advance. Remember, whatever building material you have chosen is one bar or log, remember the most important thing - your home will be built from a natural material. It will be an environmentally friendly and harmonious house, which can please not only you, but also your children and even grandchildren.

Both the timber and log, have positive and negative components, therefore, only you decide what material to give preference.
