Humidity timber for house construction. Cracks in wood

Gathered to build a house? We decided to cut down a couple of cubic meters of trees for building materials? Then this article is for you. What should be the moisture content of building timber, so no problem to build a wooden house? It all depends on what goals you pursue. That's right - the humidity and the type of timber depends on the future of the house. If this is the log house or log cabin wild - that no one will dry the wood using modern technologies in order to avoid cracking in the future. If you have chosen as a building material laminated corrugated board - the answer is known in advance: board will have a moisture content of 8-10%, because only when this moisture is sticking slats laminated veneer lumber. At the same time cracking beams are extremely rare or do not occur.

Therefore, we recommend that developers using parts of the shaped pieces to make installation of high humidity immediately after the manufacture of parts or a bath house, while their form is consistent project documentation. If we assume, to the raw wood unsold between profiling and laying in the frame, then the change in geometry rpivedet impossible to lay wreaths log normal, and sometimes require rework all the details. If you put wet items immediately to the frame, then their subsequent deformation takes place in the final design and does not affect the assembly joints. Although it does not reduce the number of cracked parts of your home. The biggest strains susceptible to the ends of parts. They will change the humidity of the fastest. And as a consequence - the deepest cracks!

That this was the reason that our company was taken over to manufacture complete sets of parts to build houses from glued profiled beam. The quality is the highest, reduced problems during installation and storage of parts, improve the look of a wooden house.

Small tip: to get a crack on the details of the house, but you do not have difficulties with the installation works - profile the already cracked but the dry part or timber. Monitor the moisture of your building materials, or "plan cracks" in your log.
