Features of the Finnish house of laminated veneer lumber , reviews , features and construction technology

Wooden houses never lost its popularity.They have long been famous for the fact that well keep heat and microclimate inside buildings has a most beneficial effect on the health of people living in them.But if for centuries the traditional material is an ordinary timber, then on the market today presented a fairly comprehensive range of different products from wood.

One of the representatives of this class of building materials is a laminated beam.It is used for the construction of buildings for various purposes - both residential and commercial.In recent years become increasingly popular Finnish projects of houses from glued beams, which are pretty good reviews.Here are their characteristics and talk.

But here you need to specify which timber is used, namely, the house is built on a technology?It should be noted particularly as a real Finnish home and must be built from billets produced by the Finnish method.Otherwise it makes no sense to evaluate its merits and compared to peers.By the way, many of the negative reviews of such houses is caused by the poor quality of used glued timber.

Today you can meet a lot of advertising "zavlekalovok" of different companies offering to buy the building material, with the highest quality and at an affordable price.It makes no sense to argue - glulam has many advantages, and in many ways superior to the log.But we must clearly understand that present Finnish home should be built from this Finnish laminated veneer lumber .And it can not be cheap in principle.Why?

Firstly, in the postwar period in Finland began to grow especially conifers, which are then allowed to board.Therefore, all wood had the same characteristics (e.g., humidity).Even the possibility of a slight shrinkage is uniform in all parts of the house that will eliminate some "distortions" in the design.

In addition, the production are only trees grown in northern latitudes (geographic location Finland).Such wood is durable, long life.And what is used by many domestic manufacturers?And last but not least - the Finns harvest the raw material only in the winter.And we have a "cutting" is carried out all year round.

Secondly, slats in the Finnish core tool bar always "look" outside the arc and the annual rings are directed to the center.Looking closely to the production of some domestic manufacturers may be noted that those and other frequently arranged haphazardly.It is believed that this technology (multidirectional fibers by gluing) - the only correct one.It turns out that the Finns are wrong?But what about the quality of their homes, has received worldwide recognition and is considered a benchmark?

Thirdly, thickness sipes.The "Finnish", it is sufficient that the adhesive is not absorbed the entire depth of the material.Indeed, in this case, the timber simply will not be able to "breathe".Therefore, for example, a tool bar 200 mm Finnish slat section 3 only, in domestic and 5 - 6. This means that for the "Finnish" raw materials are thicker and stronger (and more expensive) trunks.

Fourth, slats of the same color.This means that all of them - from the wood of one breed.And some manufacturers often make the "assembly", combining in a "gluing" slats made of expensive and cheap rocks.Price per timber reduces, and the quality is much lower.

Fifth, need to take into account customs duties paid on import products.

Now that my dear reader to understand how to choose a real Finnish building material, it's time to talk about the structure.

Features Finnish home

Possibility device "light" of the foundation, as the weight of such buildings is relatively small.Strong influence on the choice of building materials have the characteristics of the soil.Not every site can build the desired structure, as there are "problem" soils (eg, sandstone, "uncomfortable" configuration of the aquifer).For the Finnish homes have no such restrictions.

is believed that lungs Finnish home - only to stay in the country during the summer.Do not confuse the frame-panel construction with lumber!

Minor usadka- it allows the house to settle immediately on completion.An analysis of reviews of Finnish houses made of glued beam shows that their owners do not have some time to "break down" over how to eliminate distortions of window and door openings, abdominal floors and many other similar defects.

quality laminated veneer lumber does not rot, not twisted, is not subject to cracking and, strangely enough (because wood), burns very badly.

present Finnish home - 1st floor.Maybe even only attic.Be sure to 2 inputs / outputs (with the facade and the inner courtyard).

Increasing the area of ​​the building, as well as its functionality at the expense of compulsory resettlement of various terraces, outdoor areas, terraces, verandas.

distinctive interior layout, in which all the rooms - spacious.The kitchen and living room are not separated by partitions, doors, and represent a single space.The high window openings - a mandatory attribute.It is due to them provide sufficient natural lighting in the short winter days.

Unlike our homes, Finnish ceilings somewhat lower.So the Finns save on heating and building materials.The housing is arranged necessarily a sauna, and a large number of outbuildings - storerooms.The fact is that given the characteristics of the Scandinavian climate, large snow drifts, Finns prefer to have all the supplies were not in the area (shed, cellar), and in the house.But the garage - a distance that does not penetrate inside the premises persistent smell of fuel.

No need for additional "powerful" insulation.The connection quality bars so high that in this position, and the entire length of billet is not any slits.And when you consider that the heaters even in severe frosts do not have to include at full capacity, the savings is obvious.

Take into account that « they » energy are quite expensive.In addition, a good "tightness" of the house and provides excellent sound insulation.

This is due to a high strength, stability of Finnish homes.Winter snow in Finland, so the whole structure is based on the ability to maintain an impressive layer of snow.It also affects the shape of the roof - it is sloping, gable.At present the Finnish homes are usually located below the sleeping quarters.

Recommendations

• Today, many companies offer and firmochki Finnish construction of houses under the key.It should be immediately ask about the quality of the material used.If we are to spend money, then the real Finnish laminated veneer lumber.It - a guarantee of longevity.
• Reduce costs can be, if you buy (or order for your project) set the necessary preparations and to compile this "designer" on their own.Given the strict dimensions of all the parts, this would be easy, especially as the "serious" producer of all the details and making marks to the product installation instructions.
• necessary to pay attention to the timber section.It must match the characteristics of the climate where they live.The larger size is not needed, and there are more such blanks.It is necessary to choose the most, and not content with that offer Seller as the main thing for him - the sale.
