Wooden beams are the best solution for a home intended for permanent residence

The process of erecting a structure of complex configuration

Some cons

Although timber is the best solution for a home, it also has disadvantages. The main one is the shrinkage of the building. Because of it, the final finishing is allowed only some time after construction. Usually the waiting period is at least 6 months.

Relief cuts ensure controlled cracking and shrinkage of the cant

Wood is a combustible and biologically sensitive material and therefore requires additional processing.Coating with protective compounds increases the life of the building.

Elements are processed using special tools

The main types of material

The most affordable option is considered to be a conventional edged beam, which has even identical edges on four sides. Its surface, as a rule, is not sanded, therefore, after work, additional finishing of buildings is required. However, it is recommended to lay a layer of thermal insulation under the facade cladding.

Unpolished elements were used during the construction

A completely acceptable option from the point of view of economy is a profiled beam, which is a product with precise geometry and special locks in the form of grooves and ridges. Since its sides are completely sanded, there is no need to spend money on facade decoration.

A more technologically advanced material can be called glued laminated timber, because it implies longitudinal gluing of individual pieces of wood (lamellas) using automatic machines. After the applied composition has hardened, the workpiece is profiled and planed. This production technology reduces shrinkage to a minimum.

Further, it is proposed to consider some data from the standard design documentation for buildings of the most popular sizes. Basically, using this material, medium-sized objects are being erected. It is recommended to build large structures of bricks.

One of the most common options is considered to be a 6x8 m residential building.With such dimensions, all the main premises can be quite successfully located. Attic device upstairs allows you to significantly expand the living space. For permanent residence, the dimensions are quite suitable.

The most promising in this case are houses made of laminated veneer lumber. Projects and their prices are very diverse. If you wish, you can choose a building not with a gable, but with mansard roofto expand the space upstairs. However, the cost of an object increases with the complexity of the roof structure.

The second most popular option is a 6x6 m house. When erecting it, it is possible to save on materials, but there is still enough space for a comfortable stay. These can be houses made of profiled timber. Their prices and designs can also vary significantly.

With such dimensions, it is unlikely that it will be possible to experiment with the layout. There are not so many options left as in the case of large structures. However, it is still possible to achieve a convenient location of the premises.

Approximate prices for finished buildings from profiled timber are presented in the table:

We propose to consider the prices for turnkey houses made of glued laminated timber, the cost of which is slightly higher than in the case of profiled counterparts.

Various photos and free drawings of the project of a house from a bar with a bay window

With the use of timber, it became possible to erect objects with a complex configuration and impressive dimensions. Seeing photos and free house project drawings from a bar with a bay window, many developers have a desire to reproduce them directly on their site.

Such structures look very solid on the site. In addition, several square meters of usable space appears inside. When decorating the interior space, excellent prospects open up.

Additional thermal insulation of buildings

In case of incorrect calculations of the wall thickness, the timber structures should be insulated from the outside by placing a suitable type of thermal insulation under the facing coating. When carrying out work, the following types of materials are used:

Additional insulation of external walls for siding

Basic methods of connecting elements

The joining of the timber is carried out with or without the remainder. In the first case, a certain part of the element protrudes beyond the wall, while in the second it does not. In recent years, the second option has become more popular.

Methods for combining components with the remainder:

Options for laying elements with a remainder

Options for joining a bar without a remainder:

Masonry without a trace looks modern

Summing up: timber is the best solution for the home

The study of the information presented makes it clear that it is difficult to imagine individual construction without a wooden beam - the best solution for houses intended for permanent residence. Other materials cannot match wood in terms of thermal insulation qualities and cost.
