Today, many Russians prefer wooden houses to their usual brick or gas silicate houses. Fashion is spreading to them more and more. And this is not surprising: in terms of their operational characteristics, such houses are in no way inferior to buildings made of other materials, and in some parameters even surpass them..
The advantages of wooden houses are as follows:
Durability. Wooden houses on a columnar foundation are the most durable of all; only stone houses can be compared with them in this indicator. If you do not break the halt in the exploitation of wood (processing with a special compound once every 7-10 years, painting a house at least once every 5 years), then the structure will stand for 100, 200 and even 300 years (for example, some masterpieces of wooden architecture in the Arkhangelsk region , preserved from the 18th century). In general, the house built today will be used by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren..
Environmentally friendly and good air exchange. It is no secret that wood, unlike other building materials, «breathes». About 30% of the total air volume in a wooden house is renewed per day. To order the construction of a wooden house, just go to the website of the company «Rus».
Heat preservation. The thermal insulation properties of wood have been known for a long time. Wood «stores» heat and distributes it evenly throughout the house. Interestingly, in this important indicator, wooden houses are significantly superior to brick and concrete (if we take the same wall thickness, of course). And such a house will not require special maintenance. Firstly, such a structure will not need a foundation cladding (this already saves 20% of the construction cost). Secondly, as a heater, you can use the most common sealant, which is several times cheaper than other thermal insulation materials such as mineral wool..
Cheapness. A house built of wood (if we take a full estimate, including additional and unforeseen expenses) will cost 40% -50% than a brick house of the same area and wall thickness. Not a bad economy, isn’t it? And the approximate time for building a house is 1-2 months..
