Wooden houses have special charm. Most often such houses are under construction of bar. At construction of the house the pro-thinned-out, planed and glued type of bar can be applied. Modern houses from bar do not represent complexity in construction and are inexpensive. As material for construction bar has the advantages and shortcomings.
What the bar is
The bar on manufacturing techniques is divided into integral and glued. The integral bar is cut from tree. The glued bar is made of boards. Boards are processed by special structures against rotting and stuck together by pitches. Such bar is resistant to cracking and is less fire-dangerous, than integral.
In geometrical form the bar is normal and pro-thinned out. The normal bar has squared shape and the identical sizes on all length. In the pro-thinned-out bar there are crests, locks and grooves. It allows to mount bar easily.
Advantages of bar
Bar – esthetic material. Since ancient times the people built houses of tree therefore desire to live in such building is natural to each person.
Environmental friendliness – one more important parameter at selection of material for construction of the house. The integral and pro-thinned-out bar – eco-friendly material as only drying is applied to their production.
The bar processed by special structures is rather fireproof.
The durability of the house from bar is provided if by production of material and construction technologies are observed. Construction life cycle from glued bar is still unknown as material began to be applied relatively recently.
The house price from integral bar of low price of the house from gravels approximately for 30%.
Bar shortcomings
Unlike stone constructions, houses from bar demand special care. The bar can become gray, crack or decay over time.
Environmental friendliness of glued bar remains undecided - at its production the substances adverse from the ecological point of view are used.
The cheap bar does not undergo special processing that affects fire safety of the house.
Constructions from the integral not pro-thinned out bar of natural humidity can be affected by fungi and to rotting.
The house price from glued bar will be more expensive, than the house price from gravels.
