WOODEN CONSTRUCTION

For independent (with no metal and cement used) ecofriendly wooden construction wooden log or cant can be used. Every time with us you can use your own building material. Round logs are processed by special machine tool so wooden log becomes of equal diameter along all its length, that's why construction is fast and no need for additional internal finishing. Each log is scribed and then cut to fit exactly to the log below. So wooden houses look nice and at the same time steady to cold and hot weather and wind. The corners are notched and designed respectively for the maximum tightness of logs and to protect your house from heavy rains.

According to finalized drawings dimensions will be decisive, so once log is ready cutting and fitting will be done. Before wooden material goes to construction site trial assembly is done at our warehouse to check interlocking and tightening of logs. After perfect fitting is done every log is numbered, wooden structure is reassembled and packed for transportation. So erection of wooden house on your site will be done very fast.

After construction is done wooden log structure should dry naturally 1-3 months depending on climate conditions of construction place. If you have no time to wait and want your house to be built extremely fast you should go in kiln dried wood (Glulam – glued laminated) cause kiln drying inhibits natural staining of wood, improves its strength and stiffness, enhances its appearance and increases its resistance to decay and attack by insects. Only 1 disadvantage – costing of such perfect wooden construction material is 2 two times higher. But if you consider that such wood has good gluing, painting and staining properties you may understand that maintenance cost will be also less, cause no cracks will appear on the body of wooden walls.

  • 7. Tiling

  • 1. Foundation recommended

    The strip foundation is shallow foundation and does not require deepening of the ground. The foundation is constructed in a way to transfer the weight of walls to the bedrock. It is embedded in the soil on a meter or so. First of all lower than the footing of the foundation the trench is made and then grain or sand is brought up to the design mark. Then the timbering of the foundation is made. The timbering is intended for giving the erected constructions the designed form, sizes and position in space. Concrete mixture is put into the boarding and is hold there until the mixture is strong enough. Then base skeletons are connected and concreted. Kind of the base concrete is chosen depending on the kind of soil and the level of water in the area of constructing.

  • 2. Logs framework

    Prefabricated round logs framework is finished on manufacturing plant that's why assembly does not require any special abilities and allows constructing them relatively quick at the final site. Each log is scribed and then cut to fit exactly to the log below what gives wooden houses a nice look and at the same time makes them especially steady to heat and wind. Logs are laid horizontally one on another Moon channel is made along each log to provide better tightness.
  • 3. Flooring

    After the foundation is finished and treated logs framework is mounted on it. Draft floor is constructed over the floor beams. Between draft floor and clean floor heat insulation is usually laid. Draft floor provides additional strengthening for the house frame; also draft floor helps to keep smooth temperature conditions inside the house. Draft floor logs are usually treated additionally at the place of construction for waterproofness and termiteproofness.
  • 5. Roof batten, framing and tiling

    Roof framing is made of dried timber. The type of roof framing decided ones design is approved depending on the type of roof tiling chosen on customer wish. With continual improvements in steel girders, these became the major structural support for large roofs, and eventually for ordinary houses as well. Another form of girder is the reinforced concrete beam, in which metal rods are encased in concrete, giving it greater strength under tension.
