Building a warm house: connecting the timber
Despite the variety of new technologies,used in modern construction, classical methods have not lost their relevance. For example, today, like hundreds of years ago, the construction of houses, baths and other objects from a bar is very popular. As in any other technology, there are their secrets and subtleties, and the main one is the correct mix of the bar.
The main requirement for anyoneresidential building, is, as you know, its ability to provide high-quality protection against external weather influences. The guarantee of warm, not blown corners in the wooden house is the angular joint of the bar, the so-called "Warm corner". This connection is the most effective and has long been used in the construction of various
Thanks to the tight docking of this lockconnections in the crowns, you will get a quality and reliable insulation system in the corners. There are different ways of joining the beam: keyed, with a root spike, "dovetail" (a kind of root spike). The appearance of the corner joint will depend on the appearance and
the time of building a house. By the way, a complex connection is not always a guarantee of improved performance of the object. Join the beam by two methods - without release (the end parts of the bar are built into the plane of the walls) or with the release (the ends of the bar of a certain length are pulled out beyond the plane of the walls). The connection of the beam to the outlet looks very nice, however, when external insulation of such structures or when they are siding with siding, there are great difficulties. Another "minus" of this method is the inefficient use of material and a decrease in the internal area of the house. All these problems can be avoided when docking the beam without release.
Technology of mating lumber
On the technological side, the connection of the bar toThe spike is much easier to make with the help of a parquet, without the use of a chainsaw. But when docking with a "swallowtail" without this tool is indispensable. Having defined the type of knitting, you can start making templates for marking the bar. Thanks to the templates, the process of preparing the beam is greatly simplified and accelerated. Cutting under the joints is necessary to make large sizes to compensate for shrinkage at home. Places where the jointer will be made, must first be laid with a special insulation to reduce the blowdown. Warming of corners and gaps in the wall is carried out with the help of an interventure heater. It is laid before the installation of the next crown. The heat insulation material can be made from waste products of linen production, from pakli or from jute and pakli. By the way, the tape from the last two materials is much more expensive than the pakli, but it is very convenient to use. The thickness of the insulation must not be less than 3 cm.
