Timber houses

Eco-friendly building materials are in fashion today, so block houses are in high demand. A feature of the timber is its 100% naturalness, as it is made of the most suitable wood species for the construction. And if construction organizations describe only the advantages of a beam, then thanks to the reviews of owners of houses from a beam, you can also learn about the main disadvantages of building materials.

Great Laminated Timber House

A comment

I hope my experience will be useful, because at one time I also doubted greatly.
We decided with my family to break out of the apartment (my own, but not enough) in the fresh air, build a house. We already had a plot.

The most difficult thing is to decide to build a wooden house, there are too many prejudices against them.
We stopped on glued beams, for me it is the most reliable, albeit the most expensive material. But I wanted the house to stand before my grandchildren, and not fall apart after a couple of years.

Initially, they wanted to take the turnkey project so as not to worry, but we were offered to re-plan the interior space to our taste, so everything turned out exactly for us (we asked the developer to expand the children's rooms). The result was a great house, moved a little more than six months ago; the house survived the winter perfectly. We are from Novgorod, it is disgusting because of the humidity in winter.

Built at Glavstroy365, everything was fine. Pleased with the quality of the material itself, because the forums scared that the glued beam is cracking a lot.

pros

Beautiful appearance, holds heat well, did not deform and did not crack.

Minuses

Glued beam - expensive material

half a year

Great home))

A comment

This year we set up a house made of profiled timber (timber 20x20). It wasn’t without jambs. (But that's another story). Built in February, delivered in a month. Of course, there is a lot of dirt, despite the fact that all the cuts were made in the production of the project. Now the house is already under the roof. Sits down.

Covered with impregnation from fungus and mold (Tikkurila). The releases of the timber (slice) were also processed so that it would not crack (but still cracked). Next we will paint. If you have the opportunity (financial) to deliver from glued beams, put. If this is not possible, then a rounded log or profiled beam.

pros

Using heaters, you can achieve excellent properties to maintain a favorable temperature indoors.That is why the demand for frame houses today is simply huge, unlike wooden houses, they require much less labor to build

Minuses

Houses made of timber look graceful and have an attractive appearance, but behind this alluring mystery there are certain nuances, the lack of knowledge of which will lead to disappointment in houses made of wood and will beat off for a long time the desire for a long stay in a house from gifts of wood.

Another drawback of the described structures is that the installation of the wiring requires the observance of strict rules. This is due to the fact that wiring acts as the main source of ignition.

Thus, hidden wiring laid in the ceiling, floor, and ducts must be protected with iron pipes, which is often quite difficult to implement. Among other things, it is quite expensive.

From a bar the most beautiful houses

A comment

Below they wrote about houses from a bar, they say that brick look better. I strongly disagree with this. For my taste - the most beautiful houses are from timber. And I have been home for 3 years., Have never been caulked because there is simply no need. And so everything is fine, warm, nothing rickety anywhere, there was practically no shrinkage. I think you just have to choose a good contractor. I built Narkhozstroy, I live calmly and rejoice.

Warm, practical

The best house I could imagine

A comment

I inherited a plot with a collapsed shed, but not far away, and my wife and I decided that we would build a house there and move to live there, since there was a car, and taking children and children to kindergarten was not a problem. And we will hand over the apartment, money is never redundant. They thought that we would be built on our incomes for about 5 years, if without loans. And then a friend told me, look, he says, at the house from the log house, and cheaper, and faster and more pleasant to live, pay attention to the Vologda company "Lesnoy massiv", they have nice houses, I was visiting such a cool one. I found their site, found all the information on their homes, phoned, consulted. I liked everything. And the wife agreed that a wooden house is better. I called again and ordered the house we chose. Plus, all the additional “options” I need are additional insulation and impregnation, the foundation, of course, the roof covering. He said that shrinkage should not be accelerated, let it sit down naturally, only to come later to check. They built it in the summer, so it took a year to shrink, we moved in this summer. Everyone is very happy. And it’s spacious and the air in the house is special, “tasty”. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t immediately order a bath, I will now order separately. And it’s not scary that the garden has already been planted, I see that they work neatly in the house, our seedlings and beds will not hurt.

pros

Durable cozy house, wonderful air and good sleep in such a house

The longevity of a timber house depends on its construction.

A comment

On my site is a cottage from a bar, I have owned it a little more than five years. I’m quite happy with the house, of course, a brick that looks clean outwardly looks much nicer, but in winter there are no problems with heating the room. In winter, I come to the country only on weekends and not every week, I flood the stove and after a short period of time you can already go around the house in shorts. The neighbor has a stone house, so he doesn’t even come in winter, because it is impossible to warm this massive stone.

Every year I dig up the house, because the birds are constantly pulling tow. This year I want to sheathe so that there are fewer problems. Inside, by the way, the cottage is also not sheathed, and I just like it, it looks quite beautiful, and most importantly, everything is natural!
In general, durability directly depends on how the house is built, whether all the technologies are followed, which beam is used, etc.

pros

Heats up quickly, you can do without finishing inside and out

Minuses

Appearance

My cottage from timber is over 20 years old, good condition

A comment

I think that if the assembly is carried out correctly, then it will never twist the beam wall in any place. My garden house is made of timber, he is already more than 20 years old, his condition is good. I do not heat it constantly, only on weekends.

Exterior finish with such material is not necessary, which again saves money. It is rather a matter of taste and preference.

As for the assembly, then everything is simple. The main thing is to chamfer from 4 sides and for a flat surface it is worth a little planing. Then it is already possible to install and caulk. The house requires shrinkage, in order to speed up the process you can cut out door and window openings. Still need to be treated with an antiseptic if the house is going to be in the heat. That is the whole process.

The material is eco-friendly, not expensive. I built on my own and with the help of friends. Recently built a barn from a bar.

pros

Reliable, high quality and practical.

Minuses

Finishing should not be carried out immediately, the house needs shrinkage

A comment

They built a house from a bar in the Voronezh region, they wanted to have a summer house closer to her husband's parents. In the cold season, the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law live there, taking a break from the bustle of the city. At the same time, they look after the house and heat the room. I want to say right away that the heat in the house is excellent!

Many are not satisfied with the quality of the material and regret that they chose the beam. Forgive me all the dissatisfied, but I will express my point of view. First, choose a manufacturer! Read reviews, require all the necessary documents, etc. Everything depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the material! Secondly, let the house settle. Window and door installation is carried out no earlier than a year later. And lastly, do not spare money for impregnation, facade decoration, thermal insulation, etc. If you be careful and take care of all the nuances in advance, the house will last for ages!

pros

Appearance, thermal insulation, minimum construction time

Minuses

I do not see cons. You just need to wisely approach the purchase of material and home care
