The house from timber

About the last hundred years in the private construction of wooden houses were distributed frame construction. They consisted of a durable frame, covered different material, from lining up the plywood sheets. Between the outer wall of the frame house and interior design is embedded a layer of insulating material.

Prefab homes have a low environmental friendliness and low strength compared to the houses of the profiled bar.
The house from timber completely self-sufficient, however, an experiment was designed technology Drop log, the purpose of which was to combine the advantages of frame houses and wooden logs.

According to the new technology on the foundation established a massive square log frame of carefully dried wood. In the supporting columns in advance saw through the slots into which fit shaped beam. For covering the well-dried laminated or solid timber. Due to the low humidity timber and a cusp, the house is practically no shrinkage, which can immediately start to finish the interior and some exterior elements.

The undoubted advantage of the house from timber technology Drop log is a high strength of the assembly. Almost threefold margin of safety is ensured by design framework, with special slots for timber in the frame and the rack-mount Paso between bars.

Paso-ridge connection provides a wall of the beam profile is almost monolithic resistance. Heat and moisture in such a connection is achieved without additional resources, as required in the wooden house, a simple frame or square log house.

Combining technology of assembling a frame house and the house from timber increases the complexity of the project development and implementation of it in the material. From the architect requires in-depth understanding of all factors affecting the power house structure. Carry out all activities "in submission" to a highly qualified builders who know how to delicately gather all the details of the house into a single system. For the assembly should act only high quality material, which are unacceptable any deviation from the specified parameters.

The disadvantages of technology Drop log also may include the need for the walls and especially the corner joints. Despite the fact that you can start to finish, without awaiting the shrinkage at home, the additional cost of the work casts doubt on the feasibility and prospects for development of new technology.
