Frame houses using Canadian technology. Differences chopped and frame structures

My parents had a favorite villa on a standard plot of 6 acres. Lovely two-storey summer house. They were driven from the farm and garden. But as time went on. Age - age is, alas. And finally, they heard and heeded our insistent proposals -prodat the house and the area and move to us, in a big house in the village, which is located on an area of ​​35 acres. We offer various options - and 2 rooms on the 1st floor and the entire second floor of a free-standing bath. But parents insisted that the move only in its own, located away from the noisy company of our house.

Last summer my mother and father advertised in his dacha. The buyer was found quickly. They hit on his hands. The money to start construction.

The location was chosen - corner portion located from the main housing structure in the region of 150-200 meters. Built by experienced specialists. Before you enter into a contract, foreman builders showed parents object that is just handed over his brigade. Mother-father were delighted. Well, it started.

Delivered materials. Team worked very carefully, smoothly, cleanly, quickly, all we have done "in the mind". Did not drag through a beautiful flower garden and patio planks, piles and other building materials and disassembled in netting fence for the site and everything you need brought through the open fence.

It was screwed into a screw-pile foundation. Construction began in October 2017.

Further, very quickly, before our eyes, it started to rise in the house.

This frame houses using Canadian technology, warm, one-story, sloping roof, not a broken. Due to this - high ceilings and a lot of air.

Inside - two beautiful rooms, spacious kitchen and bathroom with shower. There's a great terrace, where parents can drink tea and dad can sit for hours and rehearse playing the accordion.

In front of my mother divorced my flower garden. The contract with the builders entered and equipping wells and septic tanks. And he picked up the foreman, delivered and installed kitchen set with built-in stove and sink. All furniture, plumbing, related items are selected with taste and skill. Taken into account and the personal interests of the elderly.

Construction lasted only 2 months. As a result - we met in 2018 all together - parents, we children and grandchildren.

On a note!

Differences chopped and frame structures

Tree - a relatively cheap, practical and environmentally friendly material. But the wooden houses are chopped and carcass. What better to erect buildings in rural and suburban areas?

The advantages of log houses

• Unique internal microclimate. In the heat logs "are divided into" existing moisture in them and take her back to the wet weather. Inside the houses from solid wood warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

• Enduring resistance to stress, as withstand high winds, storms and hurricanes even rarely occurring in central Russia tornadoes.

• Especially prized log houses because of their appearance. You can build it in the old style "tower" or "Boyarsky house", and can be constructed modern building.

Disadvantages of log houses

• A long period of shrinkage at home, sometimes lasting for three years, during which time it is not recommended to make the final finish, including the arrangement of windows and doors.

• Good drying classical or round logs before construction, reducing the time of shrinkage, increase the cost of construction of the house. A defective and the more drawn to the violation of the relevant requirements can "perekosobochit" whole house, up to the impossibility of living in it.

Advantages of frame houses

• The construction of such buildings is many times cheaper than the construction of log houses, including due significantly lower consumption of materials (you can compare only the structure of one dimension and class comfort). They can be erected on the frame-panel or on the frame-panel technology.

• Much less time is required for the erection (one to two months), and there is no ban on the construction of frame houses in the winter. Timber frame house warmer due to a heater located within the frame.

• For a long time service. The guarantee is given is not less than 70 years, and predictability - by more than a century. However, since the beginning of the frame construction of a hundred years have not passed, but the log houses of two hundred or more years ago still exist.

• Reduced operating costs, because of the "pie" of walls and vapor barrier (moisture membranes) dampness is not harmful components. Special fire treatment and impregnation of beams, siding and insulation from insects and decay gives, if not 100% the result is many times better than the homes of logs.

Disadvantages of frame houses

• Lack of communication with the environment air and moisture greatly reduces the comfort and environmental friendliness structure, and also requires the cost of appropriate ventilation equipment and / or equipment conditioning.

• Due to the smaller mass less resistant to strong winds, and even more storms and hurricanes.

• less environmentally friendly, due to the presence of formaldehyde in the mineral wool. For righteousness' sake it should be noted that at least as many of the harmful substances contained in the laminate and furniture made of particleboard that people use in the homes of various buildings.
