Why double timber houses

Those who have at least some understanding of construction, when they hear about the double bar technology, directly claim to be the same shield technology ("Canadian") that modern marketers.

Who does not know, a double bar is when a double wall of a bar is placed on a strip or pile-grillage foundation, and the dungeons are filled with insulation - most often with ecowool, less often with mineral wool.

At the same time, I have never seen that the mineral wool was securely fastened using self-tapping screws with mushroom caps, just as I have not seen a vapor barrier.

The photo above is a typical layout of a double timber house.

And here is what those who built a house using this technology write:

• after six months of operation, cracks form in the outer layer of the timber, which have to be covered up or foamed. At the same time, the appearance suffers;
• it is necessary to start heating the house gradually: for the first 10-14 days, heat the house to a temperature of no more than 15 degrees, otherwise the same will happen inside the house;

• IN PLACES THE BAR BLINKS, and the only salvation is painting in two layers in a light color, as in the photo above, and this increases the already considerable cost of construction.

And although after six months of operation from the outside (and from afar) the house looks more or less decent (see photo below), ecowool is already visible in the cracks inside, which means that the thermal efficiency of the entire enclosing constructions.

By the way, the total cost of this house is 90 sq.m. in the Leningrad region amounted to 5, 100,000 rubles.

Your opinion?

• is the house worth the money (5 million rubles)?
• Do you or someone you know have experience in building from a double beam?
