How to choose wood for building a cottage?
When building a cottage made of wood, a qualitative choice of building material is important. Most often, for the construction of a log house, coniferous wood is used. This choice is due to the properties of this building material. In coniferous wood in wood, increased air permeability, the structure is quite flat and differs in density, the thermal conductivity of the material is almost zero, which means that the heat inside the building is preserved for a long time.
Usually, the log has from eighteen to twenty -six centimeters in diameter with an average moisture content of eighty or ninety percent. With this humidity, the process of wood processing and the construction of houses is much easier, and wood will be less susceptible to deformation. When choosing high -quality material for, it is important to take into account the wood is not already spoiled by parasites, otherwise the building from such wood will not be simple for a long time.
The quality of the log house is influenced and the diameter of the log. The diameter of the logs should be approximately the same. The errors within three centimeters are permissible, otherwise the hobby of the log house will occur, and therefore the buildings. The same diameter is achieved by wiping logs, without wiping only the upper crowns. However, it was before.
Today, new, already ready for use are available, such as a galled log. Such materials are convenient in that they are already heavier and prepared for use in the construction of a summer residence or cottage. Often, wood is already saturated with protective compositions, and does not need any additional processing to adjust the material to the standard.
