In order to improve the quality of life, many residents of cities move to private sectors and choose houses from natural materials of natural origin. Wooden houses for our ancestors were in advantage, because they maintained warmth better, were built much faster and were considered very strong. Today, glued beam is widely used in the construction of houses, although it has become popular relatively recently in the Russian market. Houses made of glued timber are environmentally friendly, durable, look very comfortable and attractive. Before considering the pros and cons of such houses, you need to find out their production technology. How glued wood is made? Glued beam is made using oak, pine, spruce, larch. This is a complex process of wood processing, which includes numerous stages. They include, for example, the drying of the material, giving wood the necessary shape, elimination of knots and other defects, spinning to the required length, processing with a protective composition for fire resistance, as well as antiseptics from insects, gluing under high pressure, and profiling the beam. In short, glued beam is carefully processed and glued together in three layers of wood. Advantages of glued beams houses:
Environmental friendliness and aesthetics of material
Durability and difficult to flammability
The price of such houses is lower than the price of a house from stone materials
There is practically no shrinkage, boards without cracks and rot, the surface is even and smooth
Building a house in a short time, a long service life
Excellent thermal insulation of the house of houses made of glued beams:
At home they require special care
Cheap bars do not undergo processing with a composition for fire resistance, so they may be unsafe
If the beam is not profiled, then due to humidity the wood can rot
Also, toxic glue can be used to cheap bars, which will provide a risk of health
High cost of quality material
The presence of a professional during the assembly of such houses significantly exceeds the shortcomings, therefore, definitely, the future of houses from glued beams.
