Pie of the walls of a frame house using Finnish technology (errors lead to freezing of the walls, rotting of the tree)

Frame houses using Scandinavian, Finnish technology are very popular in Russia. Scandinavian homes are designed for use in the harshest winters. Finnish frame houses are also popular because their construction is not expensive (compared to a brick house). More pluses: speed of construction, low costs for finishing, foundation, environmental friendliness, convenience, ease of construction.

An important step in the construction of a frame is the wall cake. The pie is a prefabricated structure with complete insulation and protection of the house from the environment. The most successful are Scandinavian (Finnish technologies). A correctly assembled cake will make your home warm and durable.

Installation errors

• Many people forget about vapor barrier or do not fix it correctly.
• Poor ventilation.
• It is necessary to use a dry planed board for the frame.
• Fastening the supporting frame with self-tapping screws (a common mistake). Better nails.
• The dew point is not taken into account.
• Wind protection outside the walls is mandatory.
• When attaching the vapor barrier, tape is not used for joints.

Improper installation leads to the accumulation of moisture, rotting wood, freezing of walls, deterioration of the properties of the insulation, etc.

It is not recommended to save on thermal insulation (insulation). If you choose an inexpensive material with a low density, then voids can form inside the walls, which will lead to freezing, deformation of the cladding.

As a heater, mines are often used. cotton wool. It is better to take the material in rolls or plates. This will make it easier to fix.

The windscreen is able to wick moisture away from the insulation. Prevents her from getting inside. This is an important piece of the cake. Super diffusion membranes are often used on the outside of the walls of the house. The membrane is attached without gaps to the skin using a construction stapler.

External cladding of the house with MDF, OSB (12 mm). The vapor barrier layer is attached from the inside close to the insulation. Now moisture will not penetrate the insulation.

Plasterboard outside. A frame or frameless glue method is used. Exterior finish: siding, plaster, panels, facing bricks, clinker tiles, etc.
