Houses made of dry timber. Do-it-yourself house made from chamber-dried dry profiled timber

It is achieved by eliminating pre-treatment of wood and the absence of shrinkage. Natural drying of wood takes several years, and still it does not provide such a low percentage of humidity as chamber drying. Dry timber is obtained by chamber drying wood and its subsequent sawing and processing. Untreated wood is first dried in a chamber for two to three weeks, its moisture content is brought to 12-15%. Its volume decreases significantly, and it takes on a shape that it will not change. Only after this does its processing begin. It is profiled on machines, cutting off all unnecessary, and obtaining dry timber required sizes, which is additionally treated against burning and rotting. The output is a finished timber with ideal geometry, from which you can quickly build a house according to any project.

The construction process is faster because less adjustment is required. House made of dry profiled timber, chamber dried it practically does not shrink, and immediately after completing the roof you can begin finishing it. Due to these two factors - faster drying and no time spent on shrinkage, it turns out high speed the buildings.

Lower cost

The production costs of dry profiled timber are lower than laminated timber, including due to the absence of the need for pre-treatment. Hence the lower cost of the house itself.

Advantages of a turnkey house made of dry profiled timber

The aesthetic appearance of a house made from kiln-dried timber is attractive even without decorative finishing, so it can be neglected in many cases. If you want your home to look like a classic wooden house in the picture, you can leave it outside as is. Drawing natural wood and even, up to a millimeter, rows of timber create just such an image. The walls of a house made of dry timber are perfectly smooth, and most importantly, reliable - both in terms of thermal insulation and in terms of resistance to adverse weather conditions. In addition, they are protected by a special fire-resistant impregnation, which does not at all affect the wood’s ability to “breathe”.

The SK Bober company will build a house from chamber-drying profiled timber, using its own timber.

Drying process in chambers

We make timber according to the following algorithm:

  • Sorting a rectangular tree natural humidity Based on the presence of defects and size, we carry out culling;
  • Let's calibrate. This step reduces the likelihood of warping during the drying stage;
  • We make compensation cuts to prevent cracking;
  • Load it into the chamber and leave it for two to three weeks;
  • When preparing parts for a specific object, we trim them and cut the cups specified in the project;
  • We pack the finished products in transport bags and cover them with PE film.

Advantages

The price of kiln-dried profiled timber is higher than the product with natural moisture. However, it has a number of advantages:

  • Environmentally friendly material (unlike glued material).
  • Minimal (≤ 3%) shrinkage of log houses made of this material.
  • When shrinking, the material almost does not curl or warp.
  • Re-culling after drying is complete.
  • Minimum lines for building houses.
  • Virtually no cracking;
  • Receives high performance parameters:
    • low thermal conductivity;
    • significant resistance to moisture;
    • the ability to install a log house without caulking;
    • high reliability.
  • Dry bars can be used without additional external finishing;
  • The price-quality ratio makes the material the best for the construction of natural housing.

Dry timber buildings are suitable for different types climate, so they perform well in middle lane Russia. In Moscow and the Moscow region they are popular due to their resistance to the vagaries of the weather. Vitoslavitsa professionals are working all year round, so we are ready to start drawing up a project for your future home in any season.

Construction stages

The high-tech wood processing process determines many features of dry timber - the absence of shrinkage and deformation, resistance to rotting and mold. Since the material is dried before construction begins, cracking due to natural drying is eliminated. This allows all buildings to be built according to the same design.

Stage 1. Design and finished projects

The project displays all stages of construction, starting with the selection of materials and ending with a drawing of the finished building. The layout of each room is drawn up separately, which allows for the correct installation of interior walls and proper communication.

It is according to the project that the foreman is guided, checking the supply of materials from our manufacturing plant and the work of the builders themselves. Naturally this is one of the most important stages construction of a house, without which it is impossible to begin work.

Stage 2. Production of raw materials

The quality of materials is a fundamental factor in the durability of the future home. We use in production only environmentally friendly wood grown in a very ecologically clean region - the Vologda region. Therefore, all the raw materials we use are accompanied by quality certificates.

Stage 4. Laying the foundation

The choice of foundation type depends on the relief features of the area - soil characteristics, groundwater flow depths, etc. If the territory allows, a lightweight one is used strip foundation shallow depth - this is enough for light one-story building. In cases where the project involves a two or three-story house, a more impressive foundation is required.

Stage 5. Perimeter installation

The strict geometry of dry timber allows for rapid construction using the method of alternating rows. A strong horizontal connection is guaranteed by special grooves in the beams. Vertical reinforcement is organized using wooden dowels, securing every 2-3 rows.

Stage 6. Construction of partitions

Installation interior walls is carried out not only to separate rooms, but also to ensure the reliability of the structure. The project necessarily provides for the presence of partitions in rooms with a span of more than 4.5 meters.

Stage 7. Flooring

The foundation is covered with a waterproofing layer, and then the logs are installed. If necessary, free spaces are filled with various types of insulation - this will save the floor from freezing in the winter.

A board covering is laid on top of the logs and secured with fasteners. To reduce construction costs you can use flooring in the form of cork or laminate, but the boards are more reliable and retain heat better.

Stage 8. Roofing and installation of thermal elements

Since dry timber houses practically do not shrink, installation of the roof, windows and doors can be carried out immediately after the construction of the building’s foundation. As roofing choose metal tiles, soft tiles and natural tiles.

The structure made of profiled timber with natural moisture is characterized by short production times and low cost of the kit.

The most unpleasant property of natural moisture timber is the so-called “shrinkage”. That is, a reduction in the size of this very timber in the process of natural shrinkage in the walls of the log house. This phenomenon causes inconvenience, for example, in that it does not make it possible to immediately carry out the desired finishing of the walls and complete (finished) installation of window and door units, therefore, this work will have to be returned to after some time.

Use of profiled timber as elements of a wall kit forced (chamber) drying allows you to avoid various troubles thanks to a number of advantages:

  • 1. Higher thermal insulation and protection from premature rotting is achieved due to the tight fit of the crowns to each other and, as a result, the exclusion of water penetration into the inter-crown space.
  • 2. Shrinkage in houses made from chamber-drying timber is minimal, so you can move into such a house immediately after finishing the work, and you can also start finishing without delay.
  • 3. Lower moisture concentration compared to houses made of timber with natural humidity.
  • 4. Minimum number of cracks, preventing torsion and resistance to deformation.
  • 5. During drying, all microorganisms and fungi die, and therefore, increased resistance to the possible effects of fungus and mold in the future is achieved.
  • 6. Increased strength, durability and performance characteristics material, which means the ability to withstand various loads and temperature changes.

Selected building material is dried on average from 10 days to 3 weeks, using a forced method in special chambers under special conditions. temperature conditions, where it reaches sufficient humidity equal to 16-20%. Upon completion of the drying process, the moisture content of the material may increase by 1-2% and, in addition, it will increase by 1-2% upon completion of the assembly of the log house. But such a slight increase in humidity in no way detracts from the advantages of chamber-drying profiled timber. As a result, the final moisture content of the material will be about 20-25%.

Kiln-drying profiled timber is an environmentally friendly, high-quality, “breathable” material, most preferable for the construction wooden houses, more than justifies its cost. It was not for nothing that the sages said: “il fine guistifica i mezzi” - the end justifies the means!

Houses made of dry profiled timber are an improved technology that has replaced the construction of log houses. Sturdy, two-hundred-year-old buildings made of hewn timber still adorn the streets of Russian cities.

Profiled timber is high-precision ground, trimmed and milled blanks for construction. If wooden parts retained a constant shape and size, profiled timber would become an ideal raw material for building houses.

However, wood is a living material; its fibrous structure is saturated with moisture. The proportion of water in freshly cut logs reaches 30%. Over time, the cells become dehydrated. Shrinkage occurs, during which the internal tissues change shape. The configuration of the fibers is disrupted, the timber is deformed - it warps, twists, bends and cracks.

An open secret: wood needs drying, which natural conditions lasts 3–7 years. When construction time is waiting, it is advisable to do the following:

    • deliver the timber to the site
    • stack it on a horizontal surface
  • lay the layers with crossbars - for ventilation
  • build a canopy over the warehouse
  • reposition the pyramid once a year for uniform drying and deformation

After the deadline, take the board to the carpentry shop and mill it in accordance with the design dimensions.

After sorting and rejecting rotten, blue and curled parts, excellent blanks for construction will remain. This technology is still actively used by builders today.

Houses made of dried timber

In most cases, a house is needed now: when a plot has been allocated, a contractor has been selected, and there is a sufficient amount of money available. At the same time, the building must be reliable, durable and meet today's architectural requirements. The problem is solved by profiled chamber drying timber.

They make it like this. The logs are cut into a tetrahedron. The rough timber is heated in a convection chamber for 35 days. The released moisture is removed using forced ventilation. When the moisture content of the material drops to 18–20%, the timber is considered ready for use. The material is called “dry timber” or “natural moisture timber”.

Why is it better to build a house from dry profiled timber rather than from regular timber?

During chamber drying, the process of cracking and warping is almost completed: the ribs take on their final shape and size. Walls made of dried wood will settle by 2%. This is only 3–5 cm, and not 10–15 cm, as is the case with ordinary timber. Shrinkage will occur mainly due to the compaction of the logs among themselves.

The timber is dried: installers can build complex multi-storey structures from non-shrinking timber.

In new houses, there are no piers, the rafters do not move apart, the ceilings do not tilt, and the doors do not warp. This solves the problem of shrinkage and deformation of structures.

Factory-made parts differ

  • dimensional accuracy
  • light weight
  • durability

Unification of parts and elements of buildings

The standard length of lumber is 6 meters. The cross-section of the timber varies. For the construction of buildings various types and purposes use timber of different thicknesses:

  • 90x140 mm – excellent material for country houses garden houses, gazebos, pavilions;
  • 140x140 mm – ideal for the construction of heated outbuildings;
  • 140x190 mm is the main option for building a residential building.

According to the cross-sectional configuration, the timber is classified:

  • single-comb;
  • two-comb;
  • multidisciplinary;
  • Finnish.

Design of houses made of profiled timber

Dried timber with new capabilities allows you to build houses according to pre-developed drawings. Architects develop the design, accountants determine the strength characteristics of the structure, and estimators calculate the costs. The customer receives a powerful tool: the cost of the building can be calculated at the design stage. In this case, the owner independently determines the architectural appearance of the house. Construction company offers various options buildings: standard - as in the catalog or according to an individual sketch.

Construction technology

Houses made from kiln-dried timber are built quickly and on a turnkey basis. After placing an order and developing a project, the plant begins manufacturing structural elements. – planners produce details;

  • the order plan with the statement arrives at the workshop;
  • woodworking machine operators make parts;
  • assemblers perform preliminary installation of the log house;
  • pickers label items, sort, pack and ship to the facility;
  • installers assemble the building on the foundation.

The finished house unites unique properties natural wood and the result of the latest technology. The premises are distinguished by a pleasant microclimate and high aesthetic characteristics.

Why dry timber buildings have become popular

The facades of the houses look elegant and noble. The appearance of the buildings is reminiscent of noble nests from the silver 19th century.

The front faces of the timber may differ: they can be flat or rounded, rounded.

An important feature of the material is the inter-crown lock: the walls reliably protect the premises from draft winds and cold leaks. If necessary, the board is fastened with dowels and tightened with pins. The building turns out to be very warm: in such a house it is easy to save on heating.

The timber is universal: parts without grooves can be adjusted locally, milled elements are used as an assembly constructor.

Additional advantages of building houses from dried timber:

  • Cost optimization. The total price of the structure, together with the costs of work, transport, logistics and finishing, is comparable to the final costs of constructing houses from ordinary timber.
  • Assembly speed is higher. The details are precisely adjusted. The log house is assembled without adjustment.
  • The quality of the design is predictable – at a given level. The customer can specify the parameters of the finished product and control them.
  • The speed of construction is increasing. Using new technology drying and shrinkage are combined into one process. The time for final normalization of parameters is reduced from one year to 1–2 months. Residual deformation - warping, torsion of the beam occurs under load: changes are minimal.

You can move into such a house immediately upon completion of construction.
