The most unusual karkasnik: Post and Beam

What is the power a log frame, especially, participants experience the portal

Although the understanding of most, frame house, this pillar and jib of the board, at least, metal sheets, with insulation, inside and outside lockable liner, technology options much more. This German Fachwerk, and Japanese Daiku, and French Colombage, and English Half-Timber, and Canadian Timber frame. One of the most original and spectacular types karkasnikov considered Post and beam. And what kind of design and why they appear much smaller than the other species, take a closer look.

What is a construction technology Post and Beam

In fact, Post and Veam, which translates to a post and beam, a variation on the carcass, saves on wood. From karkasnikov is the closest to Timber frame - with the difference that the power post-and-beam frame is not made from timber and from debarked logs hand made. But if the lumber frame exterior finish and closed in houses can be seen only from the inside, the log remains on the mind completely, and the filling is placed between the uprights.

As the filling timber can be both smaller as well as any other material, including insulation, veneered imitation. Since the tree is combined with various wall and surfacing materials, type of fill it depends entirely on the preferences and possibilities of the owners.

PB, in fact, the same Timber frame, not only from a bar, and a log, considering that in the TF often quite indiscreet timber, the difference to the BOP purely aesthetic. The technology is one - frame, which is the right approach will stand for centuries, and any content - from straw to brick. I still can not understand why in Russia this technology so poorly distributed.

High load-bearing capacity of the logs along with the versatility inherent in all types of karkasnikov allows implement free layout and quite complex in terms of architecture, spectacular projects.

Naturally, provided that the corresponding calculations with the existing standards: SP 64.13330.2011 Wooden construction. The updated edition of SNiP II-25-80 and GOST 30974-2002 Connections angular wooden cobbled and timbered low-rise buildings. Classification, design, size.

Features PB technology and pricing nuances

A distinctive feature of the PB technology is the lack of shrinkage - make the finish and can immediately enter and will not have to wait a few years. And this is not a marketing ploy, and material property - the load is distributed between the uprights and the timber along the fiber hardly shrinks. However, a certain shrinkage occurs in places notching horizontal beams to the pillars (Zabir) wherein slits are formed which have caulk. The absence of vertical shrink "a free hand" in terms of glazing, massive racks are perfectly combined with panoramic windows, including install frameless manner. Looks is the most advantageous to the filling, giving lightness to the design, as it is possible in this case.

The diameter of the logs selected depending on the region of residence, but also tied and aesthetic reasons, and to the financial possibilities. However, in the zealous desire to save at the expense of smaller stands, it is not necessary.

... It is possible to further reduce the diameter of the logs (the budget with a cubic capacity), but appear to be less brutal, if at all, frail. Aesthetics, subjective perception, I only express my vision. So, there was an order to karkasnik - Stand D36 cm from looking like an ordinary carriage, delivered vertically (after removal of the planes under Zabir). Another thing - the pillars D50-60 cm.

As for the price issue, the situation is twofold - on the one hand, the PB house will be cheaper, "wild" log house, especially if the partitions do not fill the log, and imitation.

expensive technology, compared with a house in the "Wild Style", that is, filling the walls are not framed, and logs in the same or slightly smaller diameter. PB is cheaper three times, fifty percent more energy efficient, and in a subsequent finishing of the walls significantly more economical.

On the other hand - "Tiffany also three" and clearly does not apply to the budget this technology.

On the carcass value of the breed, size, logistics, assembly, filling should influence a little, but for marketing reasons, for all this beauty prices vary from 3 million to 20 million, 2-storey House size 10x8 m two breeds, cedar or larch (IMHO, the remaining waste rock) in diameter, is cubic capacity, only, logistics, constant build -. 15-20% of the cost (I collected myself).

In PatronMaxa house-bath with attic, 10 × 12 m, intended for arrivals on weekends. Engineering education has allowed him to act not only as a customer but also a designer. Felled by a frame made of larch in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the main stages of preparation and the most cutting PatronMax personally supervised.

However, the larger the diameter of the log, respectively, cubic capacity, the higher the frame, even without marketing markups.

Ache price tag does not make sense - this architecture and so is not for everyone, and, in fact, the price is formed from the value of the logs. If larger diameters (50-60 cm and above) - this is a special range, it sets the procurer greater price. Yes, and it just can not be bought - it is necessary to prepare in advance, pick up. For the cost of a log is added to the work teams (more volume, greater budget), site rental, plus specialized equipment rental (who is not his), and there is usually too, all with cubic capacity. So consider.

But given the fact that these homes are selected not for reasons of economy, and "in the past," they do not build, the price tag at the forefront, and not worth it. Much more important visual component and exclusivity - two identical log carcasses can not, in principle, and even a break in the company's projects types, only conditionally. A personality at all times more expensive consumer goods.

Member of our portal with the nickname Valery 3 PB built one-storey cedar log filled with the same spring 2017, forces of the profile of the company. Tellingly, the budget was slightly lower than expected.

I counted the house of rost and beam technology, so I was unexpectedly put very reasonable prices, especially in the wheelhouse. But, he and collected.

The finished product looks just amazing.

Exploiting the second year, everything is fine, the house, as the house - with a soul and a sense of age-old trees. The only thing - where filling gun carriage, it is necessary to caulk every year as they dry, although all of the material for two years under a canopy lay. But this is a natural process, dry timber, the gap increases.

The log frame in demand not only in homes and baths, some prefer it to a typical, usual small forms.

pre-assembly stages at the site of a small shed, gazebo - remained grinding and sending to the customer. Logs under the scraper, grinding question negotiable, but swirls and caverns shlifanem necessary.

Relative performance of homes BOP technology, comprehensive answer given by one of the participants thematic threads in the forum.

This is a log frame. If everything is done qualitatively - no problem.

Output

Adherents prefer wooden housing PB frame, both because of the appearance and because of the structural elements. And although this area and to this day is much less developed, log frame - a viable and interesting technology with its own characteristics that must be considered.

• The characteristics of the house with a log frame comparable to other types of karkasnikov, but when completing maintenance log will both log cabins - grinding, konopatka (regularly).
• Technology is not a budget, but cheaper log of chopped logs.
• Trying to save at the expense of the diameter of the pillars is fraught with the loss of the brutal species to which and strive to start.

If there is a financial opportunity and wants an exclusive house is not like everyone else - PB excellent choice of a unit frame.

About lumber frame more - in the article on the contrary Framework. Also various simulations timbered may be present, for example - homemade, with panoramic windows. In the video - on modern energy efficient home for ski resort.

And how do you think it's worth it?
