Construction of a country house from profiled timber. Profiled timber: pros and cons, types and sizes. Columns, poles, racks, supports and other vertical elements
Last years The building materials market is booming. New developments appear, which are immediately launched into mass production. However, none modern material not able to compete with the characteristics of the tree. Therefore, projects of houses from profiled timber are still relevant.
What is profiled timber?
There are several technologies for building wood. The projects of cottages made of profiled timber are most in demand. What kind of material is this and how does it differ from the usual log?
Profiled timber is sawn timber made of durable softwood, which is given the following configuration by milling: the side looking outward has a flat shape, and the inner side, looking into the house, has a flat surface. Grooves are planed in the side parts of the log (thorn-groove system). Installation takes place at lightning speed, resembling, rather, the assembly of the designer. And the construction site does not turn into a dump. The building is erected quickly and cleanly.
Timber is a natural material, but you can not be afraid of the inconvenience associated with the use of wood in construction, and feel free to order even projects of timber baths.
High-precision processing technologies, various impregnations, plus well-designed projects of houses made of profiled timber - and now the happy owner enters a dwelling that is not subject to damage by insects, does not “sit down” and does not burn.
Benefits of profiled timber
Among the advantages of profiled timber:
- Budget. Timber is a common material, and therefore inexpensive;
- Naturalness and environmental friendliness;
- Security. The beam does not rot, is not subject to damage by insects, is fireproof;
- The beauty. What could be more beautiful than an elegant wooden tower surrounded by pine trees or a flowering garden?
- Opportunities. With the help of this material, the most intricate projects are realized;
- Durability. Timber processing technologies make it possible to build a family homestead from it, where several generations of a family will grow up.
Projects of houses from a bar
Projects of houses from profiled timber are ready plans future buildings. The drawings consist of architectural and engineering parts describing the future building with all communications.
It is better to purchase projects in specialized companies, rather than looking for them on the Internet. The main reason is that the company creating the projects will always provide an architect's advice. Without this consultation, it is impossible to predict the finished result. Often, free projects do not fit the parameters of the site being built. In addition, they do not contain the entire package of necessary project documentation.
Outcome
Do you want to build a solid, beautiful and reliable home for your family? Choose a house project from profiled timber. And be sure to go to professionals who will help you take into account all the nuances and save you from annoying mistakes.

Projects of houses from profiled timber are developed both for summer cottages and for cottages. Smart planning and design engineering networks will make your home convenient and comfortable.
Advantages of timber houses
- Construction speed. Assembly of a box from large elements, installation of a truss structure, laying of roofing material takes 3-4 weeks.
- Good thermal insulation. The wooden house warms up quickly, retains heat for a long time in winter, it is cool in it on hot days.
- Availability. If you buy a house from a profiled timber from a manufacturer, then it will cost 35-40% cheaper than building a brick or block cottage.
Disadvantages of timber houses
- Fire hazard. Impregnation of wood with flame retardants helps to reduce the risk of fire.
- Susceptibility to moisture. Preservative and protective-decorative compositions improve the appearance of wood, prevent its cracking, and create a water-repellent barrier.
- Shrinkage. Pre-dried wood practically does not shrink. Finishing can begin almost immediately after the installation of the roof.
Varieties of timber for building houses
When building wooden houses, it must be taken into account that it is subject to shrinkage. Walls made of raw timber can shrink up to 10 cm for every 2.5-3 m. In private construction, several types of timber are used:
- Not planed. Due to the lack of a special thorn-groove lock, large gaps form after shrinkage of the log house. The cracks will have to be caulked for 3-4 years in a row.
- natural humidity. A complex profile ensures the tightness of the walls, reduces heat loss. Long shrinkage can be considered a disadvantage - you will have to take a break of 6-12 months between assembling the box and finishing.
- Dry bar. Possesses durability, durability, forms tight connections at assembly. Thanks to pre-drying in chambers, it gives a minimum percentage of shrinkage.

Construction stages
The construction of a cottage from a professional beam is carried out in the following sequence:
- Foundation installation. Depending on the layout, number of storeys, area of the structure, the type of foundation is selected. Most often, for cottages made of wood, foundations of a tape, pile, column type are used.
- Laying the first crown. The foundation is covered with waterproofing, a strapping is made - the bars of the lower crown are laid, the logs of the subfloor.
- Box assembly. A grooved board is laid on the floor, the outer walls are driven out, then the interior partitions. When assembling the walls, every 2-3 rows, the elements are fastened with dowels or galvanized studs.
- Roof installation. For the truss system is used edged board, the crate is made of timber. The tree can withstand heavy loads, so the choice roofing materials there are no restrictions.
- Installation of windows and doors. Casing is mounted in the openings, leaving a compensation gap. Window and door blocks are mounted in casing boxes, the gap is sealed with jute, covered with platbands.
- Finishing. Facade and interior walls can be clad decorative materials or cover only with protective and decorative compounds.
Buy a house from profiled timber from the manufacturer
Cottage or cottage can be ordered by finished project. Such projects are adapted to the climatic conditions of the central region, central Russia. There are options with the second floor, attic, terrace, veranda, balcony.
The modern urban dweller experiences wooden houses special feeling. The memory of dozens of generations who lived in wooden buildings must be superimposed on childhood memories of the summer spent in the village. As a result, sooner or later, there is a desire to acquire their own home, and the choice often falls on wooden housing - a synonym for comfort and reliability.
Despite the many new building materials, timber remains the basis of private wooden housing construction, and profiled timber houses are becoming a popular option, confidently crowding out buildings from classic (with a rectangular profile) sawn timber and rounded logs.
Let's take a closer look at the issue of building wooden houses from professional timber, within the framework of this article.
Modern project - profitable, comfortable and soundly
Technological subtleties
The profiled timber owes its name to the complex shape of the profile (cross-section or cut); ordinary material has a standard rectangular (or square) section. Lumber acquires a complex shape as a result of passing a long production chain, the links of which are:Wood harvesting. The optimal material for the manufacture of profiled timber is softwood. Pine and spruce, as a rapidly renewable resource, are used most often, and timber from them is cheaper. Larch and oak are resistant to decay and have a denser, higher-quality structure, which is reflected in the price of finished lumber.
Sawing. From the harvested round timber, sorted by diameter, a beam of a given size is cut at the sawmill, with a square or rectangular section.
Sorting. At this stage, lumber with damage is identified and rejected. The sorted blanks of natural moisture content are calibrated by section and length.
Laying lumber in the drying chamber
Drying. It can be carried out in natural conditions, when for several months the workpieces are stacked (which provides ventilation) - natural drying timber. Another, usually more preferable, option is forced drying in sealed drying chambers for 2.5-4 weeks (chamber drying timber).
Treatment. Lumber is ground and processed on a high-tech machine, where it receives the exact final shape (specified profile) and size. The groove of the timber, in addition to creating a beautiful front surface and a tenon-groove lock, reduces the internal stress of wood fibers - in the future, such wood will not “twist” with seasonal changes in air humidity.
Package. The timber is wrapped in shrink film to help maintain low humidity during storage and transportation.

Types of profiled timber
The popularity of profiled timber has given rise to a wide variety of lumber offered by domestic and foreign manufacturers. The existing varieties of timber are classified according to the following criteria:
To size. The length of the products varies from 1 to 6 m. A bar with a standard section has parameters of 100x100, 150x150 or 200x200 mm.
Drying method. There are natural moisture timber (above 20%, usually up to 40%) and dry profiled timber (according to GOST 8242-88, humidity should not exceed 10-12%).
By structure. Manufacturers offer a solid product (from solid wood), warm (double) and glued (assembled from lamellas).
By surface treatment. Workpieces are processed in several ways. As a result, the two horizontal (joining) sides receive a mirror profile for assembly, Two vertical surfaces (front) become flat or remain cylindrical (both or only one). In the latter case, a house made of dry profiled timber becomes like a log hut.
By profile type. After the groove, one, two or more pairs of tongue-and-groove interlocks appear on the timber. The last option is a German profile, called a "comb" in the domestic market. Most of the profiles according to the installation technology are laid with the use of insulation, and the numerous grooves of the “comb” themselves exclude the occurrence of cold bridges, therefore, the use of insulating gaskets with it is not provided.

Profile views
The profile of the product is arranged according to the “thorn-groove” system: ridges (thorns) and grooves are cut out on the mating surfaces according to the template, due to which adjacent joints are locked into a lock. According to the geometry of the profile, the timber can be divided into several types:
Profile with one spike. The easiest and cheapest option; lumber of natural moisture with a single-thorn profile is used in the construction of arbors, outbuildings and baths. Thanks to the design, moisture does not collect in the joints.
Profile with two spikes. Such a beam is suitable for the construction of buildings for all-season residence. The double spike virtually eliminates the possibility of cold bridges at the junction.
Chamfer profile. It can be produced with a different number of spikes and grooves, but the chamfer is removed only from the upper edges of the workpiece. This form simplifies the caulking of the walls and prevents water from flowing into the joints.
Comb (German). The design has three or more pairs of thorn-groove, due to which the adjacent bars fit especially tightly, are not blown through and do without additional insulation. The German profile is most often used in the manufacture of glued beams.
The method of joining the timber is determined by the profile
Finnish profile. It consists of two side spikes with beveled chamfers and a flat area cut between them for insulation. A wide platform allows you to achieve maximum fit, the insulation is easy to lay. This version of the profile is found on a chamber drying beam.
Scandinavian. Combines features of Finnish and German profiles. High (12 mm) trapezoidal spikes with wide areas are convenient for drilling holes for dowels. Such a profile is often equipped with a beam of natural moisture.

Advantages and disadvantages of professional timber
Not so long ago, logs were mainly used in suburban housing construction; Today, the construction of houses from profiled timber is expanding. The material is valued for its advantages:
Favorable price/quality ratio. The construction of dry profiled timber will serve reliably, look stylish, and will cost less than from other wooden material.
Feature of using a house kit - construction without delay
technological product. On high-precision equipment, bars are obtained that do not need subsequent adjustment (which cannot be said about handicraft material). A factory-made house kit speeds up construction, as it contains all the details necessary for the project (made to the specified dimensions, numbered and packaged).
Construction speed. The verified geometry of the profile beam makes installation simple and fast. A professional team assembles a box at home in 1-2 months (the timing varies depending on the complexity of the project).
light weight. Dry profiled timber exerts less pressure on the base than brick buildings. This allows you to reduce the estimate for the arrangement of the foundation and use any of its varieties.
energy efficiency. The profile reduces air exchange; the more spikes (ridges) in the structure, the lower the thermal conductivity and the walls cope better with their heat-shielding function. Lumber with high-quality profiling (manufactured in the factory) does not need caulking or interventional insulation.
The heat-saving qualities of log houses have been successfully tested
On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer the service of building houses from profiled timber. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".
Size retention. Technological methods allow to reduce to a minimum the natural property of wood - cracking and deformation during drying. This is achieved by properly organized drying, and chamber drying better reduces the level of moisture, and natural drying allows the timber to dry evenly. Another way to prevent the appearance of cracks is compensatory cuts. The width of cracks on high-quality dry profiled timber does not reach 2 mm.
Minimum shrinkage. In the first year after the construction, the shrinkage of a house made of profiled timber does not exceed 3% of the height of the walls, in the future - no more than 5%. Minimal shrinkage reduces the likelihood of gaps between the bars, which in turn has a positive effect on the heat-saving properties of the structure; there is no need for caulking (insulation).
Diversity. Profiled timber is resistant to weather vagaries and is suitable for building a house in most climatic zones.
Biostability. Chamber drying relieves wood from mold and bugs; natural drying timber is additionally impregnated with protective agents.
One of the options for protecting wood is staining - you can choose a palette for every taste
Environmental friendliness. Beam with a profile - an array of natural wood that does not impede air exchange (up to 30% of room air is filtered per day), which allows you to maintain a favorable microclimate. Glued laminated timber loses in this parameter, since its production uses 3 liters of polyurethane or polyvinyl acetate glue per 1 m 2 of surface.
Aesthetics. wooden walls are one of the most effective ways to draw attention to the exterior and interior of the house. A unique design can be obtained without even resorting to additional finishing.

In this video we will look at the features of the construction of profiled timber:
Like anyone building material, the profiled beam also has disadvantages:
Violation of the geometry of low-quality products. A beam obtained with violations of manufacturing technology (most often drying) may crack or deform.
Price. Due to the peculiarities of production, the profiled beam is two times cheaper than the glued counterpart. But there is a nuance: a facade made of glued laminated timber can not be faced, and a house made of profiled timber is most often needed exterior finish; as a result, the cost of buildings can equalize.
combustibility. This is a common drawback of all wooden buildings. To reduce the likelihood of fire, it is recommended to impregnate wooden surfaces with flame retardants every 5-6 years. During the subsequent operation of the house, it must be borne in mind that these compounds only reduce the flammability of the tree - that is, when exposed to open fire, the treated wooden surface will still light up, although much later than the untreated one.
Profiled timber project for a small area
Health impact. If low-quality (cheap) impregnation was used to protect wood, timber can become a source of phenol, which will certainly affect the well-being of households. To avoid such a development of events, it is worth working only with proven, reputable manufacturers.
Appearance . Natural wood darkens over time. Sooner or later the walls will need toning and varnishing.

Features of houses from a professional beam
So that building a house from a bar does not become a disappointment, you need to choose the right size of the material. A beam, selected taking into account the characteristics of the future housing, will perform well both during the construction of the house and during its operation. When choosing the thickness of the profiled beam, they are guided by the purpose and location of the building. The following sizes are mainly used:
Bar 100 mm thick with a double spike is used for the construction of seasonal dwellings ( summer cottages); it is ideal for the construction of baths, gazebos, outbuildings and verandas.
Bar 150 mm thick and with a German profile can be used for the construction of housing in regions with mild, short winters.
Classical Vacation home from profiled timber
Bar 200 mm thick. A classic, repeatedly proven format for the construction of reliable and comfortable housing without additional insulation.

We continue the theme of construction from profiled timber. We briefly analyze the features of construction from profiled timber in the following video:
A house made of dry profiled chamber-drying lumber has the following features:
When forming an estimate. The use of forced drying increases the price of profiled timber by 30%, but makes shrinkage (and subsequent surface deformations) minimal. The use of profiled timber of natural moisture will cause significant (and long-term) shrinkage; housewarming will have to be postponed.
During construction. The design of the timber (thorn-groove connection) reduces the construction time and allows you to abandon wall cladding. The technology allows you to create a beam of arbitrary length required for an individual project; however, there is difficulty in implementing complex projects (misconfigurations).
During operation. The bars fit so tightly that there is no reason to worry that water will seep between them and rot will begin. Periodically, you will have to take care of the surfaces, covering them with protective compounds. After the construction is completed, the house cannot be rescheduled.

Handicraft production
In low-rise housing construction, it is profiled timber that has become a worthy replacement for classic lumber. Its reliable fastenings create a solid wall structure with increased thermal insulation properties, which makes it possible to refuse the use of insulation. According to builders, best qualities shows a profiled beam with a comb profile. Laudable popularity has, unfortunately, a downside: the release of such a profile is often adjusted in artisanal conditions.

About a house made of profiled timber, built 6 years ago in the following video:
Handicraft manufacturers, wishing to speed up the production process of corrugated timber, make numerous adjustments that simplify the technology and allow them to produce cheaper products. The use of such a "modified" material results in the appearance of defects:
At the stage of installation. Poor-quality outdated equipment does not allow cutting grooves and ridges exactly to size. When assembling the walls, there are difficulties with joining the beams. The work becomes especially difficult when (in wet weather conditions) the wood is gaining moisture (and it is gaining, since drying, most likely, was carried out with violations) and the combs enter the grooves with great difficulty.
The quality of the material used in the construction of a house from a profiled beam is manifested during operation
During the operation of the dwelling. Assembling a house from a profiled beam of suspicious origin causes unplanned gaps in wall structures. The building's ability to retain heat plummets, and utility bills begin to rise. The use of material with uncontrolled drying leads to uneven (and often significant) shrinkage and the appearance of noticeable cracks.
Of great importance for a long and happy life at home is not only the quality of lumber, but also the professionalism of the working team. It is possible that the installers you hired from the newspaper ad actually have solid experience in building wooden houses. Only the workers did not specify (and you forgot to ask) what they built houses, for example, from glued beams. This, no doubt, commendable experience cannot be fully transferred to the profile beam. Most likely, a lot of mistakes will be made during installation, many of which you will not know right away. The only prescription from such a development of events there will be an appeal to a construction company that values \u200b\u200bits reputation and therefore shows sincere concern for the quality of the buildings being built.
The project of a house from a professional beam in a modern style
Domokomplekt from a professional beam
Turnkey profiled timber houses are a rational choice among suburban housing construction technologies. A reliable, proven methodology developed by construction companies makes it possible to build projects of various architectural solutions. The cost of a house kit is largely determined by the price of a professional beam; the cost of the material is determined by the parameters:
Type of wood and drying method.
cross section. The larger it is, the more difficult it is to dry the material evenly and the greater the price tag will be on the product.
Additional processing. The price is affected by milling (the complexity of cutting the profile) and impregnation with an antiseptic (fire retardant).
The price of profiled building materials is in the range of 8-11 thousand rubles / m².
A custom-made profiled timber project (non-standard configuration) involves additional difficulties in manufacturing and installation, which will certainly affect the cost. In the offer of many construction organizations there is a sufficient selection of ready-made house kits from profiled timber. The standard kit includes:
profiled marked timber, made according to the drawings;
Individual project with a large glazing area
interfloor and attic lags, rafter system, boards of rough and finishing floor, carpentry;
wood processing, communication inputs.
The price of the finished house kit is in the range of 12-14 thousand rubles / m².
Turnkey profiled timber houses: projects and prices
If you need a project for a house made of profiled timber, the price of which will be in the best possible way reflect its quality, use the services of a construction company with many years of experience in this field. You will be offered both typical wooden houses and individual design (if there is no suitable option). The last option allows you to order a project in any style you like. Choice architectural solutions is varied; most often, customers stop at a project in a classic, modern or minimalist style, less often - in ethnic, retro or high-tech.
Many companies offer customers to independently track the formation of prices, providing a preliminary estimate. By combining options (type of foundation and roof, lumber section, amount of finishing), you can purchase a house that fits into the allocated budget.
