TOP 14 projects of houses from glued beams
|With special love, our people belong to wooden houses. Perhaps this is already in the blood, because our ancestors preferred to build houses from wood. It is difficult to call wooden houses ideal from a modern point of view. Yes, they are environmentally friendly, but they take a long time to build, and you won’t start finishing until the house settles down. The glued beam, which has all the advantages of a tree and is devoid of its main disadvantages, shows itself much better. That is why the material is very popular. Both simple compact houses and huge elite cottages are built from it. To convince you of the versatility and practicality of the material, we have selected several interesting projects of houses from glued beams.
Glued beams are usually produced spruce or pine wood. It is sorted, dried, cut out areas with defects, and then cut the material into lamellas, which are glued under the press. The number of lamellas depends on how thick the timber should be. The wood fibers in the lamellas are arranged in different directions. In addition, processing is carried out protective substances. This production technology allows us to talk about the following the advantages of glued beams:
- naturalness and environmental inherent in wood. Fair manufacturers use safe glue formulations;
- high strength. In each beam, three to six lamellas are connected, which are firmly connected to each other. Due to preliminary drying and removal of defective areas, the material is more durable than solid wood;
- glued beam house built in just 2-3 monthsdoes not shrink, i.e. to finishing work you can start immediately, and not wait at least a year, as is the case with the array. The shrinkage of a house from glued beams is about 1%, while for solid wood this figure can reach 15-18%;
- low thermal conductivity allows you to maintain an optimal microclimate in the house at minimal cost. The walls do not need additional insulation. As a rule, only the roof and floor are insulated;
- durability. A house made of glued beams will last longer than a house made of solid wood. All thanks to the processing of antiseptics and flame retardants, as well as pre-drying of wood. Dried wood absorbs all protective agents much better;
- glued beam walls do not need additional decoration, and this saves effort, money and time;
- you can build from timber both in winter and in summer. It is not recommended to carry out work only in rainy weather;
- comfort. Houses made of glued beams come out with a warm and rich aroma of wood. The material is universal, allows you to erect buildings of any complexity.
In fact, glued timber is the same tree, only with predicted qualities. A house will cost more than, for example, brickBut it will come out gorgeous, status, high-quality, warm and durable. Saving and taking timber from an unknown manufacturer is not recommended, because then there is no guarantee which glue was used and whether the drying and production technology was violated, namely, the durability of the house and all its basic qualities depend on it. Better save on the project. There is a mass ready-made universal projectsthat meet all the requirements for a comfortable home, but at the same time will be much cheaper than an individual project. Let us dwell on the most interesting projects of glued beam houses.
