How to build? Recomendations.
You have planned the construction of wooden houses, but still do not know what building material to choose? Suppliers offer cilinder logs, natural timber, glued laminated wood, chopped logs, sawn timber variety. Absolute leaders in consumer preferences is glued beams and cylindrical logs.
Glued laminated timber, in contrast to the logs, more recently appeared on the market of construction materials, but has already managed to gain popularity. Despite the fact that the glued laminated wood quality often costs a little more expensive than logs, it makes it a serious competitor in the market of construction materials from wood.
As a cylindrical timber, glued laminated wood - an environmentally friendly material, but due to the peculiarities of production, more robust and durable. If the production of logs using a solid tree trunk, then for the production of laminated veneer lumber requires high-quality board. Glued laminated timber, depending on the number of used blades (planks) can vary in width, which is very convenient. For example, for the construction of summer house or outbuilding suitable glued beams small width, and for the construction of a residential cottage, you can use a more powerful option. Round timber leaves no such freedom of choice.
The manufacturing process for laminated veneer lumber is to produce blades and their subsequent bonding strong glue made from natural raw materials. Lamella were given special treatment - polishing, impregnation with special protective solutions, and only then, with the help of glue and a hydraulic press fit into the glued laminated wood. Usually, the length of laminated veneer lumber is about 6 meters, but if necessary can reach 18 meters, so that the imagination of the architect-designer will be, where carousing. Each next lamella is placed so that the direction of wood fibers was opposite of the previous layer. This provides additional strength laminated logs. An additional advantage of a laminated board is perfectly fine, smooth surface - this greatly facilitates the process of construction and design allows you to save money on decoration.
From the foregoing it is understandable why glued timber is so sought - it is just as environmentally friendly and aesthetically, as the Round logs, but at the same time, more durable, long lasting and often more convenient in construction.
In addition, glued laminated wood with special impregnation and handling is absolutely fireproof and not subject to rotting and insect damage. Structure of the laminated board is that the house of him do not give the shrinkage, and the board does not change its geometry during the entire period of operation. House is made of logs, especially if in the process of construction was used logs not the highest quality, may subsequently tilt, nod. Like all wooden buildings, houses of laminated veneer lumber and logs easily, and therefore does not require installation of expensive solid foundation.
From the foregoing it is understandable why glued timber is so sought - it is just as environmentally friendly and aesthetically, as the Round logs, but at the same time, more durable, long lasting and often more convenient in construction.
