Recently, the tree has again gained its former popularity. And this is not surprising: it is environmentally friendly, natural, has wonderful operational properties and an excellent appearance. Despite the relative high cost of this material, furniture, internal and external decoration of the house, and stairs are often ordered from wood. And, of course, the most luxurious option for using a tree is the construction of wooden houses.
It is not easy to build such a house: in addition to large material costs, it is also necessary to devote a lot of time to studying the advantages and disadvantages of individual varieties of material and construction technologies for such houses. However, erecting a wooden house is only half the battle. Each owner of a suburban wooden house knows: such a house needs constant special care.
Like any other structure, a wooden house with time gives a shrinkage. Ideally, after the end of the construction, the house should stand for about a year, and only then can you start interior decoration. However, if you notice open seams on the walls of the house, know: something interferes with the process of shrinkage at home. Eliminate this reason, otherwise moisture will penetrate through the forming cracks inside the house.
Wood is very sensitive to a sharp temperature difference. You need to warm the wooden house slowly and little by little, otherwise, due to the difference in temperatures inside and outside the house, the wood will begin to dry out, which means that the cracks between the bars will form.
Outside, a wooden house must be painted. This is necessary so that the wood does not darken and is not covered with mold over time. Before painting, it is necessary to clean the surface of the wood and cover with the salt of boric acid so that the wood is protected from insects and mold formation. You need to paint the facade of the house once every 5 years.
Everyone knows: wood is very afraid of moisture. Under the influence of water, it rot. Therefore, the cracks in the window and door openings must be covered with a sealant with special care. Bathrooms in the house should ventilate well and dry so that there is no water left in them. For the same reason, trees should not grow in the immediate vicinity of the house, and the drainage system should always be good.
Now, having sufficient information about the care of a wooden house, you can safely make a decision on construction. You can choose a ready -made project for your future home or come up with its appearance on your own. However, remember that a wooden house must have a long roof overhang, providing an optimal ratio between the surface of the earth and the lower crown. Therefore, if you are not fully confident in your abilities, it is better to trust the management and care of the house to professionals.
