More and more consumers are returning to the origins and traditions of Russian Wooden Architecture, replacing brick and stone houses log houses or so-called log houses.

Positive characteristics of the log house

It is believed that stone or brick house much more reliable than wood. You can argue with this and give irrefutable arguments in favor of wooden structure.

As a building material, logs have their disadvantages:

• increased flammability;
• wood rotting, mold and fungi formation;
• fragility and fragility compared to stone;
• high cost of wooden beams.

So, wood has increased flammability. But everything is on fire. Fires occur in both brick and stone houses. The destructive effects of fire destroy everything. At influence high temperatures the brick collapses and becomes brittle.

The strength of the masonry is inversely proportional to the duration of the fire. As a result, any structure falls apart in a fire. To improve fire resistance wooden logs treated with special substances and means. Modern fire-bioprotective agents can reduce the possibility of wood fire to zero.

The log house with the attic looks pretty good

Besides, modern market offers a lot of impregnations, the use of which reduces the ability of wood to support the combustion process, providing group I fire protection.

The tree rots, that's understandable. But it rots in natural conditions. Fungus and mold form in a humid environment. At brickwork in damp corners, or if there is dampness or leakage, the possibility of mold and mildew also cannot be ruled out.

One can also argue about the durability of the wooden structure. Stone masonry is considered durable. This opinion comes from ancient times, when were stone castles built?. They simply forgot about the thickness of the walls of these stone structures (1.5 m). Modern masonry is much thinner than ancient masonry, and the quality of the building materials has changed a lot, which is why it is not as durable.

If we also take into account the quality of the masonry, then a wooden frame is in no way inferior in terms of service to a stone house. There are many examples where wooden log houses from the Arkhangelsk forest have served and continue to serve for more than 250 years. And this without the use of any chemical treatments!

A wooden frame is expensive. This opinion is wrong. You purchase logs for construction by the cubic meter, and the price is set per 1 m³.

If you also buy bricks in cubic meters, then from 1m³ of brick, with a thickness of 0.5 m, you will end up with a wall measuring 2m x 1m, and from 1m³ of timber, with a thickness of 0.25 m, the wall will end up measuring 4m x 1m. Simple mathematical calculations show erroneous opinion about the high cost of wood.

If we take into account that wooden masonry does not require additional thermal insulation, waterproofing and interior decoration, then the final cost will be 25% lower than masonry made of stone or brick.

In addition, wooden log houses are much warmer than brick ones; air exchange in them occurs faster, since wood breathes. Wood is a building material given to us by nature. A log house is much lighter than a stone one, so it shrinks and you can lay a lighter version of the foundation. To build a log house, you will need a minimum set of tools: a saw, an ax, a chisel. A log house is both environmentally friendly and unique design your home.

Choosing material for a log house

It is best to use coniferous trees for cutting a log house. The log is taken in a rounded shape of the same diameter, this will simplify the production of markings, and the final product will have a symmetrical appearance.

Logs for a log house should be selected very carefully

Second type building material– profiled timber. The timber processed on a special conveyor has precise grooves, with the help of which the timber connect easily and tightly without leaving any gaps. Using profiled timber, you will speed up the construction process, but the construction will be template, not original.

Any small object can be built from profiled timber. This will help you understand the technology of laying logs and the process of building a log house. It should be noted that building a log house is an impossible task for one person. We need a specialist so as not to spoil good logs. The adage “learn from your mistakes” does not apply here.

Stripping logs for a log house

The most important stage construction there is processing of log material. The logs are selected, not affected by fungus and mold. First thing bark needs to be removed. In this case, the final result should be a smooth surface, i.e. You do not trim the log, but sand it, preserving the subbark membrane. The subbark sheath is needed not only for appearance, it protects the tree from rotting.

Logs can be cleared with an axe, an electric planer or a scraper. The use of each type of tool has its own advantage. So, handmade with an ax, allows you to remove a layer about 1 cm thick, thereby ensuring high level protecting wood from external influence. Using an electric planer, you get more modern look processing.

Scheme for stripping logs for building a log house

The logs come out smooth, even, and externally rounded. The outer layer of wood is preserved, which also has a beneficial effect on protecting the wood from rotting. This treatment ensures that the logs fit tightly together.

The scraper is rarely used for processing. This tool resembles a sickle. The wood comes out clean and light.

Log house construction technology

Before laying a log house, you need to take care of the foundation. When designing a house, take into account the presence of an attic space. This puts additional stress on the foundation, so everything needs to be designed and taken into account correctly.

There are several options for cutting a log house: into a “paw”, into a “bowl”.

Logging in the “paw” is distinguished by its economy; it is also called cutting a house without residues. With this construction method, less logs are used. With this method of construction the logs do not protrude beyond corners of a log house.

It should be noted that this technology is much more complicated than chopping a house into a “bowl”. The usable area of ​​the room, with a similar log length, increases when chopping into a “paw”. The “claw” frame is convenient for installing the exterior and interior decoration of a house.

Scheme of laying logs for a log house

The disadvantage of this method is the poorer heat retention and the tendency of the compounds to dry out over time. Ventilated cracks appear that need to be “wedged in.” Otherwise, the structure may lose its integrity and move apart.

There are two types of cutting a house into a “paw” - without a thorn and with a thorn, i.e. simple and complex. For such cutting, it is better to seek the help of a qualified specialist, otherwise you may get ventilated corners, this design cannot be corrected.

Cutting a house into a “bowl” is much more expensive than cutting it into a “paw” (by 5%-10%). But a house built into a “bowl” is not only attractive in appearance, but also has a number of advantages. Such a house is much warmer than a house cut into a “paw”. A log house built into a “bowl” is highly stable.

This is truly a work of art. By choosing this method of cutting a log house, you do not disturb the structure of the wood, thereby extending the life of the house. Resistant to changes in the external environment, to weather conditions is much higher than in a house cut down into a “paw”.

Joining logs when cutting into a “bowl” can be done using the “Russian bowl” and “Canadian bowl” methods. Time shows that the “Canadian bowl” is much more effective than the “Russian bowl”. This is explained by the presence in the first of special cuts in the area of ​​cuttings.

When drying logs, the “Canadian bowl” prevents large gaps from forming; when subsidence, the logs fill the resulting gaps. Even more effective is log joining method an improved “Canadian bowl” with an additional spike. The presence of a spike plays a big role in insulating the corners of the house and ensures that the structure is not blown through.

Attic on a log house

Much has been said about the advantages of an attic room in a log house or any other house. Attic on log house it looks very effective, such a house pleases the eye and fascinates with its unique design.

To build an attic on a log house, the first step is to carry out installation rafter system and truss frame. Next we move on to installing the Mauerlat. Mauerlat system needed for attaching rafters roofs to the walls of the house. In fact, the Mauerlat holds the entire roof and transfers the load of the formed roof to the walls of the building.

After all the work has been completed, rafter legs and ridge beams are installed, which serve as support for rafter legs. The next thing to attach is the sheathing under the temporary roofing material. Final installation of the roof with insulation, coating, etc. will occur only after complete shrinkage of the log house. After the frame shrinks, interior work is also carried out.

The Dobrodom company carries out a full range of works on the construction of log houses with an attic. The second floor in the form of an attic is a good solution for wooden house, as it is aesthetically pleasing, convenient and practical.

Log house projects

Log houses are distinguished by naturalness and attractive forms. Environmentally friendly log house is ensured by the use of exclusively natural, non-toxic materials in construction:

• coniferous tree logs;
• interventional insulation of natural origin: moss, flax jute.

Photo 1 - Log house

Log house projects can use construction technologies from rounded logs or from debarked logs.

Mandatory documentation

Projects should include the following sections:

• sketch part;
• specification;
• technological maps required for direct assembly.

The sketch part consists of:

• explanatory note;
• plan ground floor(foundation);
• floor plan;
• facades, including color scheme;
• longitudinal, transverse section.

The designer must take into account the features of the construction of log houses:

• shrinkage;
• standard manufactured sizes of logs/beams. It will be necessary to take into account when calculating joints for large wall sizes;
• a house made from logs can only have 4 corners.

The finished project is approved by official authorities. After receiving all visas, approvals, permits, a permit for the upcoming construction is issued, which is the basis for the start of construction.

Estimate

An estimate is drawn up in accordance with the approved project. Qualified engineers will help you accurately determine the cost of the materials listed in the specification, the cost of equipment, and labor costs.
