Insulated glued timber. Advantages of houses from a combined bar

Many potential owners country house they see it as wooden - it just so happened that building materials made of wood are traditional for our country. But time does not stand still - technology develops along with it. Preserve the natural "wooden" appearance of the house, while reducing its cost and improving heat specifications- approximately such a task was faced by the inventors of the packaged timber. What came of it? Read about it in our short article about packaged beams.

What is a package beam

A package, or, as it is also called, a cassette beam is a building material consisting of several elements: three boards, inserts from bars and a heater that fills artificially created cavities. Such a multilayer structure, in theory, should provide optimal mode operation, both for wall material and for people living in the house. Approximately the same technology is used to build houses from double beam. The difference is that in the first case, the fastening of the boards is carried out thanks to the cups, and the package beam additionally has fixation with the help of lavsan couplers. Foam glass (granulated glass), ecowool (waste paper recycling product), mineral wool, etc. can be used as a heater. In fact, the final price and characteristics of the package beam depend on the type of insulation used.

Benefits of using package timber

• No need for additional insulation(no need to think about how to insulate a house from a bar, etc.) and finishing (planed boards of the front parts have an attractive appearance).
• Use environmentally clean materials, which are part of the packaged timber, the absence of adhesive joints (as opposed to insulated glued timber).
• Minimize the effects of wall shrinkage.
• Savings on the foundation due to the relatively small mass of the log house.
• Short construction time.
• Comparable low price on the package beam.

Some nuances

• Difficulties in building with your own hands.
• Problems during repair work.
• Absence real reviews people who built a house using "package" technology.

About the prices for packaged timber

Prices for a cube of packaged timber are in the range of 12,000-13,000 rubles. At this cost square meter a log house will cost 4500-5000 rubles. or from 12,000 rubles. per square meter for turnkey construction.

The two-story house was built from insulated package timber using the patented LogECO technology. In a package beam with wooden lamellas, cavities filled with heat-insulating material: foamed glass or ecowool. Both heaters freely pass air and steam, without interfering with "breathing" of wood. The alternation of lamellas and cavities, in order to avoid the occurrence of "cold bridges", occurs in a checkerboard pattern. Packet lumber is approximately 2.5 times superior to glued lumber in terms of heat saving. That is, a 240 mm thick wall made of laminated timber will be as warm as a 600 mm thick wall made of glued laminated timber.

In the manufacture of packaged timber, you can do without glue, using only mechanical connections with special ties

STEP 1 - shallow tape

Since the package lumber is almost twice as light as ordinary glued lumber, it is possible (and even necessary!) To get by with a lightweight foundation. Shallow strip foundation from monolithic reinforced concrete is laid to a shallow depth - so it will experience less stress during freezing and soil movements. Concrete is poured in fixed formwork. In the foundation tape laid under all bearing walls at home, air ducts are left for ventilation.

The plinth tape is covered with a roll waterproofing material, and a support board is laid on it. The assembly of the log house is carried out using interventional insulation.

Since the package lumber is light, it is much more convenient to work with it than with ordinary glued lumber.

STEP 2 - assembling the log house

The assembly of the log house takes place most in a simple way- end-to-end, without cutting complex cups and outlets. The corners are fastened with dowels through 3-5 crowns and pulled together with pins. To protect against blowing, the timber has a double thorn-groove lock. The pictures show that instead of glue, special ties were used in the manufacture of timber.

STEP 3 - full factory readiness

Window and door openings are cut at the factory. A stacked beam arrives at the construction site, marked for trimming in accordance with a computer-optimized cutting map (waste is no more than 10%), which is assembled in accordance with the “order”.

Floor beams cut into the walls, and the assembly of the attic floor begins.

Windows cut at the factory

Floor beams are mounted using metal fasteners

STEP 4 - warming the log house

After the assembly of the log house is completed, a heater is poured into the cavity of the package beam - foamed glass, ecowool or ordinary expanded clay. Insulation is used to ensure that air does not mix in the cavities.

STEP 5 - rafter system

Gables are trimmed. Then it is laid and fastened with Mauerlat anchors. The truss system is installed. For the sake of a more rigid fastening, special plates are used as fasteners.

STEP 6 - secure footing

Mounted supporting pillars and terrace beams. Then window and door frames("pigtail") according to a floating scheme that takes into account shrinkage.

STEP 7 - roof insulation

Installation of the insulated ventilated roof is carried out "from the bottom up". First of all, a waterproofing film is sewn to the rafters from below, the task of which is to prevent water vapor from entering the insulation from heated rooms.

Insulation is laid in the space between the rafters, which is covered from above with a diffusion membrane that allows water vapor to pass through, but retains water. A ventilation gap is formed on top of the membrane, and a crate is hemmed on top, on which OSB sheets are laid - a lining for soft tiles.

STEP 8 - start finishing works

Roofing material is laid - soft shingles, and immediately mounted drainage system. Draft floors are laid in the house, draft ceilings are hemmed. Laid hidden engineering Communication. The floor and ceilings are insulated.

The house is being painted outside. The openings are still covered with a film so that there are no drafts inside and a stable temperature and humidity regime is established. Fences and railings are installed on the balcony and terrace.

Fences installed

STEP 9 - interior decoration

The walls and partitions inside the house are sheathed with decorative boards. The finishing floor is laid, the ceiling is sheathed. On the inner balcony railings and balustrades are installed. Windows are inserted, doors are hung, platbands are nailed and painted. Roof overhangs are hemmed; at the same time, it must be remembered that in the ventilation gap under roofing material air circulated freely. A deck board is laid on the terrace and balcony.

The popularity of buildings made of timber is increasing every year. There is only one minus - such houses require additional insulation. Insulated timber will preserve the natural natural look building and significantly improve its thermal insulation.

Today, insulated glued laminated timber is a kind of innovation in construction market. Its production is based on multi-layering, in which dry planed wood is laid with a special insulation and glued together under pressure. The principle of manufacturing the material resembles the creation of sandwich panels, in which the base is successfully combined with thermal insulation.

Material manufacturing technology and its types

Depending on the design features, glued laminated timber can be packaged or single-chamber. The package material is closed structure, resembling a box in which there is thermal insulation. A single-chamber beam consists of two boards connected by jumpers with a step of 50 cm. A heater is laid between the boards, then the whole structure is given a monolithic structure.

The following materials can be used to insulate the beam:

• polyurethane foam or expanded polystyrene (PPU);
• ecowool or cellulose.

Their manufacturing technology is the same. First of all, wooden lamellas are prepared, which are dried artificially to a moisture content of no more than 10-12%. The slats are fastened together, forming closed cavities 7 cm wide. On the extruder, the cavities are filled with polyurethane foam or other type of insulation material.

The finished structure is processed on a four-sided planer, which gives it the necessary parameters. At the same time, the thermal insulation protrudes slightly beyond the limits of the wood, which allows it to wrinkle during installation and completely clog the seams between the bars.

The characteristics of the insulated material significantly exceed all the qualities of a simple glued beam.

PPU timber is especially popular, due to its low thermal conductivity. Thus, the level of thermal conductivity of expanded polystyrene is only 0.024 W / (mK), which is significantly lower than that of ecowool or cellulose. To heat a house with an area of ​​about 160 m 2, no more than 3 kW of electricity per day will be required.

how construction material expanded polystyrene is distinguished by good durability, and in combination with wooden lamellas, it acquires high level strength. Such a bar is able to withstand compressive loads of more than 250 kPa and bending loads of about 0.35 MPa. Thanks to this, the insulated timber, mounted in the walls, always retains a strict geometric shape, without shrinking or warping.

The environmental friendliness of expanded polystyrene is known, because it is from it that substrates for food products are made. It does not emit harmful fumes or substances in either dry or wet environments.

Together with large quantity advantages PPU timber has one significant disadvantage- full air tightness inherent in polyurethane foam. To maintain a healthy atmosphere in the house, you will have to equip additional ventilation systems.

Timber with ecowool filling

Ecowool consists of shredded paper impregnated with an adhesive based on antipyrine. Its performance characteristics are somewhat inferior to polyurethane foam. In addition, timber made using ecowool is characterized by low moisture resistance.

Other disadvantages of ecowool include the following parameters:

• high thermal conductivity;
• susceptibility to shrinkage;
• contributes to the formation of dust;
• can be damaged by rodents.

Due to the large number of disadvantages, the cost of timber filled with ecowool or cellulose is significantly lower than that of PPU material. As a rule, people who seek to equip environmentally friendly and budget housing with an attractive appearance acquire an insulated ecowool beam.

But at the same time, it must be remembered that a house built from glued laminated timber with ecowool may lose its thermal insulation qualities over time. And if in the building of ordinary timber replacing the insulating material does not cause any particular difficulties, then in this case it will be almost impossible to do this.

Insulated timber is an innovative development in the field low-rise construction. What is it, where did it come from and can it be used at all? This, as well as many other things, will be discussed in today's article.

Features and characteristics of insulated timber

First, you should figure out whether it was necessary to invent anything at all, because wood, as you know, is already an effective heat insulator in itself. In fact, this is exactly the case, but such thermal insulation is far from always enough to meet strict modern norms and standards. For this reason, consumers have to choose: sustainability wooden houses or the efficiency of frame construction.

To solve this difficult dilemma, a profiled type insulated beam was created, which is successful combination glued laminated timber and slab sandwich. Over time, this material began to gain more and more popularity, not only because of the striking visual resemblance to the usual glued laminated timber, but also because of the high thermal insulation properties, superior to analogues at times.

To find out exactly what this superiority consists of, one need only find out what is minimum thickness walls when using one or another building material to comply with the norms of SNiP.

SNiP II-3-79. Construction heat engineering. Download file (click on the link to open the PDF file in a new window).

Let's compare these indicators for different materials.

1. At wooden wall it's 45 centimeters.
2. Glued timber has 35 centimeters.
3. At the wall made of foam concrete, it is as much as 88 centimeters.
4. At the brick wall - 170 centimeters.
5. The profiled insulated timber has only 15 centimeters.

Moreover, the described material has a higher energy efficiency, since its mass is about half that of, say, a bar from an array. This makes it easier installation work, yes and manufacturing process noticeably accelerates. Finally, the use of insulated timber makes it possible to save some money, because an overly deep base is not required here. The base of reinforced concrete is quite interchangeable with the foundation on screw piles, which will positively affect both the cost of construction and its duration.

Table number 1. Product Comparison

Additional savings are achieved by reducing heating costs (more than three times), although the air and vapor permeability of the walls at this time remains quite high, which means that the atmosphere in the house will be more comfortable. The construction technology itself is also simplified, because all the connecting elements, selections, door and window openings are still produced at the plant. As a result, the buyer receives a "constructor" with instructions for assembling it. There is nothing complicated in the instructions itself, therefore, neither qualified specialists nor expensive special equipment will be required for construction - two or three assistants are quite enough.

It is also worth noting that the insulated timber allows you to avoid finishing work both outside and inside the house. The fact is that the tree is processed at the factory with the help of special woodworking equipment.

How to insulate a bath from the inside

Earlier we talked about how to insulate a bathhouse from the inside and what materials should be used, in addition to this article, we advise you to read this information

Strengths and weaknesses of insulated timber

So, we found out that houses made according to the technology described in the article are reliable and heat-proof, which reduces heating costs. Let's get acquainted with the main advantages of the material. For the convenience of users, they are all presented in the form of a small table.

Table number 2. Strengths insulated timber

As for the shortcomings of the described timber, it is worth mentioning only the degree of vapor permeability - although it is not bad, it is still lower than that of a traditional solid wood. For this reason, when constructing residential buildings from this material, it should be without fail Provide good ventilation.

Video - Production of insulated timber

Varieties of glued insulated timber

Insulated timber is produced in several varieties at once, having different technical characteristics. Moreover, even the design of the beam itself may differ in this case.

Let's start with the fact that thermal insulation material can be different.

Option number 1. polyurethane foam

This heater has impressive advantages. For example, it has a relatively low thermal conductivity. If polyurethane foam is used for insulation, then the entire volume of the frame is completely filled, thereby reducing the risk of the formation of so-called cold bridges. Nevertheless, there are also disadvantages, more precisely, there is only one - we are talking about a low vapor permeability, and therefore, at the design stage, it is necessary to provide for a high-quality ventilation system.

Option number 2. Ecowool

This material, also known as cellulose, is impregnated with antiseptic agents during production, and it also effectively retains thermal energy and is pretty cheap. In order to reduce the volume of ecowool (and also for the purpose of more convenient transportation), the material is pressed three times, as a result of which its density reaches 110 kilograms per cubic meter. Immediately before use, it is fluffed up in a bucket or any other container using an electric drill with a mixer nozzle, after which the volume increases to its previous size (that is, it grows three times).

Note! In the process of fluffing, a huge amount of dust is generated, in connection with which a person must necessarily use a respirator.

In the course of warming, not only a team of workers may be required, but also special equipment. After all with bare hands, especially in large volumes, it is impossible to lay it (sometimes, in principle, it is possible, but this is very uneconomical). At the end of laying, ecowool should be left for several days: due to contact with moisture in the air in a dissolved state, the outer layer of the material will harden and a crust will form. Actually, this is how a warm bar is formed.

It is worth noting that there is also a classification of insulated timber according to design features. Here it is also divided into two types, let's get acquainted with them.

Option number 1. Single chamber bars

From a constructive point of view, this kind of beam consists of a pair of boards interconnected by special jumpers in increments of 50 centimeters. As a rule, such frames are filled with polyurethane foam insulation, due to which the beams ready for use become “solid”.

Option number 2. Package bars

In fact, structures of this type are not much different from the bars that were described above. Although at least one important difference still takes place. In this case, we are talking about a frame, which is divided not only by horizontal jumpers, but also by vertical ones, in connection with which, inside the structure, it is as if honeycombs are created, comprehensively closed. These cells must be filled with the previously selected insulation material. Yes, the use of a batch technique significantly increases performance characteristics timber, but at the same time the cost of the product also increases.

Important points that sellers may not say!

Actually, there are only two such moments, let's get acquainted with them.

1. Today, insulated timber is often produced in low quality. Therefore, immediately before construction, you will have to check each product separately.
2. It will be stuffy in a house made of such building material, since it (the house) will turn out to be completely airtight.

Manufacturing features

The procedure for manufacturing insulated glued laminated timber looks something like this: first of all, the boards are placed in a special dryer and brought to a moisture index of no more than 12 percent, then special elements are made from them - lamellas with inserts. If we talk about lamellas, then this is a pair of long boards, located parallel to each other, fastened together by means of special fasteners (it is known as " dovetail”) with one step or another.

It turns out that identical cavities are formed between these boards, in which, as noted above, insulation material will be placed during installation.

To give the products the profile required according to the technology, a special four-sided planing machine is used. And in view of the fact that the heat insulator will evenly shrink / bulge during installation, it will not be able to penetrate through the seams in the beams - this is precisely what ensures the final external characteristics both inside and out (we are talking about the fact that a house made of such a beam looks like completely wooden building).

Note! If desired, the developer may well use a combined beam - this is if one part is made of wood more than High Quality, and therefore more attractive in terms of aesthetics.

The technology of building a building from insulated timber

The procedure consists of several stages, we will get acquainted with each of them in more detail.

Stage 1. Foundation

We have already talked about this, but a lot depends on the specific project (for example, a house may have basement), soil features and depth groundwater. In each case, it must be taken individual solution. If there is no basement, then construction is possible pile foundation, otherwise it is preferable to resort to reinforced concrete or a tape monolith.

A house from such a bar will weigh a little. On average, a meter of a cubic building will exert a load of no more than 300 kilograms on the base, which means that the foundation itself in this case can be light.

Stage 2. Assembly of the box from the described timber

After the construction of the foundation is completed, you can proceed with the installation of anchor bolts with the distances provided for by the project. It is worth remembering that for each type of foundation, its own type of fastening of such anchors is selected. Due to this separation, the strength future design will rise noticeably.

So, if the base is made on screw piles, then the anchors should be fixed in the way shown in this diagram.

In case of application strip base, flooded concrete mortar, anchors should be attached a little differently - something like this.

Further actions should be carried out according to the following algorithm.

Step 1. After installing the anchor bolts, an insulating material is laid on top of the base.

Step 3. Then the bottom layer of the structure is installed. For this, profiled boards are used (they are also called backing boards), which should be put on the studs mentioned above.

Step 4. The insulated timber, in which the grooves are made, must be laid on the board. Tellingly, the pin should be a guide.

Step 6. On top of the upper beam of the box, it is also necessary to lay a profile board. Only after that the beam is attracted with a nut.

Stage 3. Mounting the screed on the crowns

Next, on the crowns of the bars, it is necessary to equip the ties. For this, thermal tape should be used, which is able to withstand critical temperatures (from minus 60 to plus 80 degrees). Under the influence of operating temperatures, such a tape is able to stretch somewhat (by about 15 percent), and then return to its original dimensions. What is characteristic, the thermal tape does not react to the sun's rays in any way, as well as to aggressive climatic factors (snow, subzero temperature, rain, etc.). Finally, thanks to this tape, you can do without finishing the beams, which means that construction costs will be lower.

Stage 4. Windows, doors

When installing these integral elements, it should be remembered that they can be standard dimensions, and made according to individual sketches. Thanks to the use of puff timber, you may well resort to both the first and second options. Here, special furniture boards which will prevent the walls from warping until the windows/doors are finally installed. These shields should be installed immediately after the roof of the house is built.

Stage 5. Overlays

As for the floor, it is preferable to make it concrete, with a reinforcing steel mesh. So the surface will turn out to be even, and the rodents will not be afraid. Beams are laid on top of the screed (the step should be 0.6 meters), and then the floors themselves are laid. If desired, you can equip the "warm floor" system (provided that the screed is thick enough for this) or install additional thermal insulation.

The roof frame is fastened with a beam having a section of 10x20 centimeters. There are many ways to insulate the roof, as well as its decoration (plywood, drywall and others), you can choose any, the main thing is not to forget that the ceilings must be insulated without fail.

Stage 6. Roof

At the end, a roof is installed, but this is a topic for a separate article.

Video - Assembling a building from insulated timber

To be frank, insulated timber is not exactly timber. Rather, it is not a bar at all. warm bar, these are several boards, between which layers of insulation are glued. What happened, like a layer cake, resembles a standard one in shape. This is where the name came from - insulated timber, it is also sometimes called "packaged insulated timber".

Buildings made of insulated timber are an analogue of buildings erected using a prefabricated panel method. They include quite a beautiful exterior finish, insulation, laid in several layers, vapor protection, as well as dense, warm and environmentally friendly the inner layer, that is, a combined insulated beam is obtained.

The price of insulated timber

The price of insulated timber can be different, since it is made from several elements, you can even reduce the cost of insulated lumber to a minimum. Thus, it is possible to make it so that the price of a house made of insulated timber will be very low if used between openings. cheap material, just find out in advance what the thermal conductivity of a particular material is, so that you don’t disassemble it later, and don’t change the filling.

You can also make a generally unrealistic price of a house from insulated timber, for example: make 1 layer of reinforced concrete, then make a layer of lead, in case of radiation (and you never know), and then heat conduction, and after another 10 layers. Thus, in general, it is possible to make such a fortress that there is nothing to take it with.

Projects of houses from insulated timber

Projects, as well as with the price, can also be all different, in principle, you can take any wireframe project home, and start building such a house. The meaning is essentially the same, but some elements will be different. It all depends on what kind of house you want and how much money you have in your pocket.

Types and materials

You already know what multilayer insulated lumber is, so in order to avoid confusion, we will simply call it -. It can be of several types. We divide it by insulators and by the structure of the material.

By variety, the beam is divided into:

polyurethane foam

Combining good and bad qualities. The beam, insulated with polyurethane foam, forms a monolith in which there are absolutely no cold bridges. That is, it absolutely does not let heat out, but cold inward. Thus, he creates the perfect thermos - the house is always warm. But on the other hand, polyurethane foam is airtight, so houses made of insulated timber, with polyurethane foam as a heat insulator, need to install active, supply and exhaust ventilation.

Ecowool

Impregnated with antiseptics, it costs little and isolates heat remarkably. To reduce the volume and convenient transportation, ecowool is pressed three times, up to a density of 110 kg/m3. Before use, it should be fluffed in a bucket or barrel with a drill with a concrete mixer, then its volume will increase three times. However, this raises a cloud of dust, which requires the use of a respirator.

To insulate with ecowool, you will need a team of workers and special units. Because with bare hands and in in large numbers, it does not fit, and if it does, it is very uneconomical.

Then, the laid ecowool is left alone for several days. Contact with water dissolved in the air, upper layer ecowool hardens, forming a crust. So it turns out a warm bar.

According to the structure of the "sandwich":

Single chamber

A single-chamber product is a heater pressed on both sides with boards. For strength, the structure has wooden lintels inside, every half a meter.

Batch

The package product has several layers, and the cells in it are arranged diagonally, due to which the likelihood of cold bridges disappears. Bags are more expensive than single-chamber insulated timber, although double insulated timber also depends on the choice of filling-insulation.

This material was invented for the purpose of:

1. Reduce the cost of building houses;
2. Accelerate the speed of delivery of the house, speeding up the laying process;
3. Get a ready-made insulated house, avoiding the process of insulation itself;
4. Give the opportunity to show imagination in the design of the facade of the building.

The result is the following:

Additional thermal insulation, in this case, is not needed. However, over time, the insulation on separate sections the walls will lose their thermal insulation properties and will need to be changed. And for this you have to sort out the entire building;

A house made of this material will look respectable and strict. Outwardly, it looks so that no one looking at it will suspectbeam insulation,no doubt that this is a real beam;

This building material is very easy to use, so you can decently save money and time. Instead of heavy monolithic foundation it will be possible to use concreted steel piles.

Although the issue price is at the very bottom of our list, it is far from the last value. Indeed, having saved on the foundation and additional insulation, you will get a house made of insulated lumber much cheaper than a monolithic house.

But, there is one point that you may not be told about:

1. It will be stuffy in houses made of insulated timber, as they are completely sealed;
2. The quality of the products themselves, unfortunately, also leaves much to be desired. Before assembling the house directly, you will have to check each beam.

Assembling a turnkey house: Houses from a combined insulated timber of 120 sq. m., are assembled qualitatively and quickly, in about 6 weeks.

Building a house from insulated timber

First, the foundation is made. We have already talked about the foundation, but we still need to make an amendment to the project. The point is whether you will make a cellar or not. Do you need underground parking? A lot also depends on the type of soil and the depth of groundwater.

For each of these options there is an individual solution. It is possible to erect piles if you do not want to build premises below the ground floor. If you would like to do underground garage or a billiard room, then it is necessary to erect a tape monolith, or put reinforced concrete blocks as the foundation of an underground floor.

A house made of this type of material is quite light - on average cubic meter its material will not press on the ground more than 300 kg, which is why the foundation can be light.

2. Stage two laying the first bars and docking

Then the first bars are laid and joined. If the grillage - the plane of the upper part of the foundation, is set correctly, then the insulation is simply laid and set lower bar, smooth side down. It is attached to the foundation with special studs. The next layers of bars are laid and fastened to each other with pins, fixed in increments of 50 cm to 1 m, up to 5 levels high. Be sure to stack interventional insulation, after all internal heat insulator bars, does not allow heat to pass only through the bars.

3. Installing the screed on the crowns of the timber

After that, screeds are installed on the crowns of the bars. For this, a thermal tape is used, designed to work at temperatures from -60 ° C to + 80 ° C. It is capable of stretching by 15% under the influence of operating temperatures, and then returning to its original size. Thermal tape does not react in any way to solar radiation or aggressive effects environment(e.g. snow, rain, frost). Thanks to her, you will avoid additional processing timber and, thus, reduce the cost of the building itself.

Interestingly, at the beginning of production, "puff" beams consisted of two boards of 40 mm wide, and a gap between them, of the same thickness. Now, on the construction market, you can find a bar with an increased thickness of cavities up to 100 mm. They are filled with the same mineral wool with impregnations, which has positively proven itself earlier.

Due to the multi-layered heat insulator and the special arrangement of the chambers with it, the beam is very heat-resistant. From such a bar you get a house in which you can live comfortably, even in the far north. The buyer wins twice - decently saving on funds, and, as a result, insulated building materials.

4. Installation of doors and windows

When installing windows and doors, you need to know what they can be like. standard sizes, and made to order according to your sketches.

Layered timber can allow you to do this and that. In this case, special furniture panels are inserted into the openings that can keep the walls from deforming until the doors are installed. Such shields are placed immediately after bringing the house under the roof.

5. Work with overlaps

The next step is to start working with overlaps. That is, with floors and ceilings. Best Choice for floors, it concrete screed, reinforced metal frame. It is smooth and protects against rodents.

Beams are laid on the screed, in increments of up to 60 cm, and on them - draft and finishing floors. If the width of the screed allows, then you can make a "warm floor", lay additional insulation and proceed to the choice of flooring (linoleum, laminate ... and even parquet).

For fixing the roof frame and ceiling top floor, it is recommended to use a bar, cross section 200*100 mm. There are a huge number of options for warming and decorating the ceiling. Including drywall, plywood, stretch ceiling, decorative ceilings. You can choose from this set, the main thing to remember is that the ceilings must be insulated.

Speaking about the installation of the roof, it should be noted that it can be conical - tent type, prismatic - with one, two or more slopes, or flat. The only question is which is necessary and appropriate for you.

Roof installation technology houses made of insulated timber is no different from installing the roof of any other house.

Manufacturers promise that this type of house will stand without overhaul at least 50 years old. That's quite a long time! And in these houses it is warm in summer and winter, which means you can save up to 70% on heating;

Such boards do not deform and do not dry out. They are dried and impregnated with protective compounds;

From insulated timber, you can build anything that your imagination allows;

Such a house is being built even faster than a house made of ordinary timber and does not need additional insulation;

Using this development, you save forest resources, reduce the cost of building materials and significantly save on construction.
