Rounded log - improved lumber Automatic translate

In our country, classic wooden buildings are log houses, which are erected by hand without the use of machine technology. In earlier times, such buildings were erected by adjusting crowns. For this purpose, the upper part of each log was combined with the butt (lower part) of the adjacent log. As a result, the problem of trunk narrowing was successfully solved. This construction principle has been used for centuries. However, today this method of house construction is too expensive, as it requires considerable effort from builders.

The latest principles of woodworking help reduce manual labor to a minimum extent. For this purpose, machines and software are being developed that allow the production of rounded logs (see prices for such lumber here ). The result is a material with perfectly smooth surfaces, and most importantly, with perfectly accurate geometry. The shape of the log resembles a pencil, since the same diameter is maintained throughout the entire length of the trunk.

Features of rounded logs

Thanks to machine processing of lumber, today it is possible to relieve builders from the labor-intensive operation of adjusting crowns. Buildings made from perfectly processed logs are erected much faster, and the structures are more accurate and even.

One of the most important advantages of rounded logs is that it provides an impeccably tight connection during the assembly of walls and partitions. Responsible structures made from such material have increased thermal performance and excellent decorative properties. Houses made of rounded logs are one of the most beautiful, warm and reliable buildings.

In the manufacture of the material, mainly pine wood is used. The main task that needs to be solved during the rounding process is the removal of the top, weak layer (sapwood), which is prone to rotting and does not impart serious strength properties to the lumber. At the exit from the machine, neat cylindrical blanks of the same diameter are obtained.

Removing the sapwood makes the log more durable. In practice, it has been proven that when such material dries, the cracks become less thick, which has a positive effect on the thermal insulation qualities of structures.

A longitudinal kerf is cut into the rounded log, which reduces the likelihood of cracks forming on the front side. Located in the upper part of the log, the cut eliminates internal stress, while remaining invisible from the outside after the structures are assembled.

A rounded log is a product with a clean, carefully polished surface. This eliminates the expensive and complex finishing step. A cottage made of such pure material does not need external or internal cladding. Due to the absence of finishing materials, log walls “breathe” better and have an attractive appearance.

Having become familiar with these advantages of rounded logs, we can call the material economically profitable. It allows you to save effort and money during the installation of structures, and also has higher thermal characteristics compared to other building materials.

The highest quality houses made of rounded logs are built using technology developed by Finnish builders. World-famous Finnish houses are distinguished by their noble appearance, strong and durable structures. Using this technology, special wedge-shaped cups are cut into the logs. During installation, the locks form tight connections.

An inter-crown seal made of polyester fiber works to increase tightness. This material does not rot or cake, which makes it possible to replace traditional tow and obtain warmer enclosing structures.
