Glued beam and its place in construction.
Almost the only wall material of natural wood at the moment, which in quality can be compared with a tree used in the furniture industry, is glued timber. The production of such wood in European countries was widely used relatively recently, but rapidly took leading positions among consumers from all layers of society.
Compared with other similar modern materials, then glued beams, alas, is characterized by a high cost due to expensive equipment used in its production and complex technology. As for manufacturers of a less expensive beam with a low quality indicator, for them the high cost of production is a significant argument.
The price category of glued timber is determined, first of all, its thickness. Indicators from 200 mm of glued timber thickness allow you to live in such a house constantly, and do not require additional finishing, insulation, and at the same time additional material costs. With 100 mm thickness, additional finishing work is required and, accordingly, expenses. In addition, a large role is played by the equipment of a house from glued beams in the Leningrad region. In the case when the house is made “turnkey”, the cost is an order of magnitude higher; If the sale of log house, roof, etc. D., then the price will correspond to this configuration.
A characteristic feature of glued wood – lightness, glued beam allows you to increase the speed of construction to the maximum limit, since the need for fitting is excluded. The assembly of this high -precision profiled material is carried out from ready -made complete parts according to the principle of the designer. For any construction work, it is extremely important to reduce time, taking into account special Russian climatic conditions. For example, if filling the foundation was made at the end of the construction season, then in most cases, direct construction according to the testimony of other building materials is postponed next year. While glued beam with its unique technical characteristics allows you to conduct construction work even in the winter period.
