Profiled timber "comb"

The profiled timber comb is great solution for people who value a high standard of living. Regular maintenance of a wooden structure ensures comfortable living in houses made from a comb profile. Samples of the product usually have 3 - 4 tenons and beveled chamfers, which makes it possible to build reliable houses that meet modern requirements. Since there is no gap when laying the comb profile, there is no need for a wall seal.

Corrugated timber is manufactured using technology developed to minimize the thickness of the inter-crown seam. This method of manufacturing the material eliminates the need to caulk the cracks that form between the beams during the construction of walls. The tenon-in-groove technology ensures the tightest possible fit of individual elements, so it’s easy to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this material.

The German profile, which has a “comb” pattern, is optimal solution when choosing building materials. The presence of a large number of tenons and grooves on each side of the material greatly complicates construction. The beam is specially designed not to perform unnecessary work related to insulation wooden house. Different kinds thermal insulators always require additional investments in the project.

Reliability wooden building using profiled timber, the comb is determined by the presence of tenons and grooves on the surface of the material. For maximum possible protection from the cold, only 3-4 spikes are provided. The strength of this inter-crown connection is explained by the precise fit of the tenon into the groove, which prevents cold air from entering the house.

Walls made of comb corrugated timber will always retain heat, which is achieved due to the following factors:

1. Marking of cut elements.
2. Precision of operations in the production of material.
3. Cutting bowls on each side of the timber.

Among the main reasons for the popularity of comb timber are the quality and speed of installation. The use of this type of material in construction allows reducing labor costs. Fast construction designs based special card assembly is possible only by marking the cut elements.

Creating a reliable “labyrinth castle” prevents cold wind from blowing through a wooden house. This is possible thanks to ready-cut bowls on all sides of the material. Precision in the manufacture of timber in the factory allows you to avoid making additional adjustments when laying products.

What to look for when purchasing

The choice of material for a wooden house construction project is influenced by a large number of various factors. This is not only the price of the product, but also the climatic conditions of the area where the construction of a wooden house is planned, as well as its purpose. Glued laminated timber differs from the profiled sample not only in its higher price, but also in a number of characteristics:

• profiled timber is made from solid logs, and laminated timber is made from boards (lamellas);
• the comb profile provides better thermal insulation of the house than glued material;
• profiled timber dries completely only a year after the construction of the house is completed, and laminated veneer lumber goes on sale dried in production.

To decide which timber is better, you should not take as an axiom the arguments of marketers that the German profile has only advantages. They are provided only for the purpose of luring a potential buyer, and therefore do not constitute a warning about possible consequences using low-quality profiled timber. Before purchasing material, you should think carefully and ask former developers about the disadvantages of timber.

The cost of a wood building material is determined by cross-sectional size and moisture content, which can be measured with a compact needle moisture meter. Best choice is a comb beam, the humidity of which is not higher than 20%. The price for dry material is 11 - 12 thousand rubles. per 1 m3 with a length of 6 m.

Average price of profiled timber natural humidity allows you to significantly save on the purchase of this material. For example, timber with a moisture content of 40% is sold at a price of 7 to 9.5 thousand rubles. depending on the size of its cross section. It may be:

• 100x100 mm;
• 150x150 mm;
• 200x200 mm;
• 230x230 mm.

The building material should not have any cracks on the surface, so it should be carefully inspected before purchasing. It is not recommended to trust handicraft industries engaged in the production of timber. Material with a “Finnish lock” is offered at higher prices than solid timber with a comb profile. In any case, after purchasing timber, it is necessary to comply with all conditions for its storage in warehouses and construction sites.

Pros and cons of comb timber

Planning permanent residence in your own wooden house, you will need to take care in advance about insulating the walls of the building. You should choose products only from large manufacturers. When deciding which timber to choose, you should take into account other advantages of multi-tenon corrugated timber:

1. Accelerated pace of implementation construction work in compliance with the technology of laying products tenon in groove.
2. The high quality of raw materials for the production of corrugated timber ensures a reduction in heat losses in finished houses.
3. Insulation or sealing tape When constructing walls made of corrugated timber, combs are not used.

If comb-profiled beams are laid in rainy weather, their humidity begins to increase. The construction of a wooden house from high-quality timber occurs quickly if all work is carried out experienced craftsmen. Concept quality profile means dry construction material, which was stored under acceptable conditions until use. In general, the type of profile does not play a big role in the process of speeding up the assembly of walls, since the result always depends on the professionalism of the builders.

Since insulation of the walls of a house made of German timber is excluded, then Finishing work no need to implement. This significantly reduces the cost of construction work. Living in a new wooden house will be comfortable, since the comb beam ideally retains heat and does not allow moisture to pass between the crowns.

After carrying out work related to laying thermal insulation, the facade of the house requires suitable finish. This type of work is carried out not only after the walls are insulated, but also when various damage to the wood appears. It is worth remembering the torsion of the timber due to strong drying, which causes the formation of cracks between individual structural elements.

Shrinkage of a house made of profiled timber with natural humidity

Wooden building materials are characterized by their ability to respond to changes in humidity. It is impossible to accurately predict the consequences of the influence of factors on wood. Since the likelihood of cracks and gaps occurring between the crowns is high, assembling a house from profiled timber requires the use of special devices: dowels, studs, etc. They are necessary for full lock connection bars In practice, cracks and cracks are completely different sizes can appear in any type of timber.

Characteristics of timber structures

When buying timber for building a house, you usually choose what is best for the project: a Finnish profile or a comb. If the choice is made on a German profile, then laying a heat insulator between the logs during the assembly process will not be required. The manufacturing technology of this material is based on ideal compliance with the geometry of teeth and grooves. When using a comb to build walls, the beams may crack due to the fact that the teeth do not fully fit into the grooves.

If products are stored improperly, the spikes tend to swell from moisture and become damaged. This doesn't mean that this type products cannot be used in construction; you just need to buy timber from a more reliable manufacturer. If the supplier's material was stored under open air, then it’s better not to buy it. Only perfect compliance with the geometry of the German profile will ensure the construction of walls according to the provided technology without the use of thermal insulation. Because the correct styling German products require the insertion of tenons into grooves, then the possibility of material displacement is eliminated.

Example of laying a Finnish profile

The popularity of the Finnish profile is due to its unpretentiousness. You can also carry out construction work using material that has absorbed a little moisture. The classic Finnish profile is not inferior in its characteristics to the German one. The main difference is that during installation, the upper and lower beams of the Finnish profile do not touch each other, forming a thin gap into which the insulation layer should be laid.

Spruce and pine are the main wood materials, from which the profile is made. They have a low thermal conductivity coefficient, which is 4 times less than that of ceramic bricks. This should mean that with a timber wall width of 20 cm, the thermal insulation characteristics of the structure are similar to those brickwork, the thickness of which is 80 cm.

Since walls made of German timber are actually a monolithic compound, the material should not deform or crack after drying. For finished design not required at home external finishing any panels, since the view natural wood is beautiful and expensive. Wood does not contain harmful additives, and a constant level of humidity will be maintained in the premises of the house under conditions of natural ventilation.

What was done

When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas future home, we light up doubly! After all, work on a new stylish project It’s always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot of land with picturesque views of the Oka bank! This view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, oriented towards beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future house! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, but it was necessary to build a house in a short time and ideal solution became for such tasks frame technology construction! If we’re going to be different, it’s in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finishing of imitation timber made of durable larch, painted in natural shades with emphasized wood texture. Laminated windows complement the modern look of the house! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with highlights and at the same time incredibly functional.

Today for construction wooden houses very often profile beams are used: comb, “Finnish” and beams with several teeth. What kind of material is this, why is it good and how does it differ from laminated veneer lumber?

Let's try to understand everything in detail.

So, first of all, let's look at what the difference is between.

Firstly, the name speaks for itself. Glued laminated timber is made from boards (lamellas) pressed and glued together, while profiled timber is essentially a solid log.

Secondly, laminated veneer lumber goes on sale already dried, while profiled timber dries for about a year after the construction of the house is completed.

Thirdly, the thermal insulation qualities of laminated veneer lumber are somewhat worse than those of its profiled counterpart. This is because a glued product has a layer of glue between the lamellas and this layer, by the way, tends to dry out in some cases, which, of course, reduces the thermal insulation characteristics of the wall.

In general, at first glance it may seem that glued products are better than profiled ones, but such a hasty and unambiguous conclusion cannot be made. The type of timber that should be used is influenced by many factors inherent in specific project. This includes the desired price of materials (profile wood is cheaper), the climatic conditions of the area where the object is located, and the purpose of the house.

Please also note that great value has also who made the material.
In addition, the professionalism of the installers also plays an important role.
Perhaps they have a lot of experience in building houses from laminated veneer lumber, but they have never had to do anything from profile wood.
If in such a situation you build a house from profile timber, then most likely many mistakes will be made, and, you see, “blaming” the material for this will be somewhat illogical.
So what kind of timber to use depends only on the nuances of your specific situation.

We will return to the review of profiled logs.

Material properties

First of all, it is worth highlighting the fact that this material has a slightly different structure, the way it is connected to each other, and this to some extent affects its properties.

In particular, we are talking about the fact that timber profiles are different.

For example, a beam with “comb” type grooves is a log with many “teeth” located in the lower and upper planes. This is both bad and good at the same time.

Good - because no additional insulating tape between logs, since due to the large number of teeth in the grooves, the possibility of cold air passing into the room is simply excluded.

But the bad thing is that such material is much harder to attach to each other. This is because after the logs are delivered to the site, they inevitably fall into conditions of changes in humidity and temperature, and accordingly lose their original shape.

That is, simply put, they become deformed and after that their teeth are very difficult to insert into the grooves of adjacent logs without using a sledgehammer. And using a sledgehammer can lead to cracks in the timber, which, of course, will reduce its thermal insulation qualities.

But if you do make a “comb”, it will turn out to be very durable and warm house or .

The second type of timber is the so-called “Finnish” profile. We can say that for construction this is the simplest and fastest option. Because there are only two spikes here - at the edges, and accordingly, joining such logs is a very fast process. In addition, walls made of this profile practically do not shrink.

However, there are, of course, a couple of negative points:

1. In order to connect such logs really tightly, you need not only to try very hard, but also to really understand this matter and be able to work with this particular material.
2. A house made from profile timber of this type will not have good thermal insulation qualities, if you don’t put a special intervention between the logs.

It turns out that it is quite possible to build residential buildings from the “Finnish” profile, but it is very important not to forget about additional insulation.

The third profile option, which is often used when building houses from profile timber, is a “three or four tooth” beam. In fact, this is the most universal look profile, since its spikes are wide enough not to deform during storage on site. That is, the material can be safely stored - it will be quite easy to install.

As for the thermal insulation characteristics, then, as a rule, for a not very harsh climate, a few Finnish profile spikes are quite enough to block the path of frost and wind. But if you live in the northern regions, then, perhaps, it is better to use a “comb” beam.

As you can see, it is impossible to 100% correctly determine which timber profile is better - everything again depends on the nuances of the situation. It turns out that each type of material is good in its own way, but also has its drawbacks.

Advice: if you are planning to build a house with your own hands, but are not sure which type of material is best to choose, then at least play it safe and consult a professional about this.
It will not cost much, but the risk of making a wrong choice will be minimized.

Well, we’ve sorted out the types of timber, now let’s get down to it general overview properties of the material.

Advantages

So, we can highlight the following advantages of this material and houses made from it:

• This is 100% solid wood, the basis of which is such species as spruce, pine, Siberian larch or cedar. Wood processing is almost always performed using high-precision imported equipment.
  Thanks to this factor, the tenons fit very tightly into the grooves of adjacent logs, which, of course, gives the walls of the house high strength and eliminates the need to purchase numerous fasteners;

• The structure of the profile beam does not contain any glue. This means that the strength of the product does not lose over time, and there will be no chemical fumes;

Please note that the absence adhesive compositions It also affects the internal microclimate in the room – in a positive way.
Such houses made of profiled timber, or rather their walls, “breathe” very well, so to speak 100%, and all because their structure is completely natural and there are no artificial layers.
So if you want your house to be not only warm in winter, but also cool in summer, then a house made of profiled timber is really what you need.
If everything is done correctly, then on a hot day you won’t need any air conditioning!

• Thanks to walls made of profile logs, heating costs are significantly reduced in winter period, and no additional insulation measures are required – curtain facades, “wet” and so on;
• No standard exterior or interior finishing required interior walls . That is, the house will not need to be plastered, puttied, painted, wallpapered, etc. For what? After all, logs already have a magnificent appearance, agree;
• There is no need to treat the timber with antiseptics, because this procedure is performed at the factory. Moreover, the effect from this is greater than from applying an antiseptic with your own hands, since the processing process at the factory takes place in an autoclave.
  This allows you to capture the maximum structure of the tree, and thanks to this it does not deteriorate for a very, very long time;

• Relatively simple instructions assembling walls from profile timber. In fact, all that is required is to drive the tenons of each subsequent log into the grooves of the previous one as correctly and accurately as possible.

As you can see, it turns out that this type timber is a truly excellent material for building a house. Environmentally friendly indeed natural material, which is also easy to assemble and durable. And the price is relatively low, what else do you need?

You can use a calculator to calculate the amount of timber for construction:

However, profile logs, of course, also have disadvantages. And they definitely need to be mentioned.

Disadvantages of the material

In fact, there are only two shortcomings.

1. A house made from profile timber must stand for 10-12 months, and only then can you begin finishing it. That is, put interior doors For example, it is not recommended to putty ceilings immediately after construction is completed. The shrinkage is small, but it is there. However, what material is a house made of not subject to shrinkage? Therefore, it is very difficult to determine whether this point should be considered a disadvantage.
2. As the logs dry out, cracks may appear on them. As a rule, they are small, but they have to be sealed later.

In principle, it can also be noted that almost all projects of houses made of profile timber do not provide for the design of buildings in the high-tech, modern, etc. styles. And this is understandable - after all, wood is wood, and such walls are only suitable for houses that claim to be environmentally friendly and natural.

So if you want to make a house in which stone or metal elements will predominate, then a profile log is clearly not the material you need.

Finnish houses made of profiled timber traditionally provide their owners with the maximum level of comfort and a lot of advantages even at the construction stage. Architectural excellence and thoughtful design are reflected in every wall. Live in it for at least a month and you simply won’t be able to find any reason to move into a dull apartment.

Advantages Finnish houses made of timber from the company "Dachny Season"

1. Our team of builders will complete the building assembly in just 2 months.
2. The material is 100% environmentally friendly and safe. It literally breathes, letting fresh air and positive emotions into every room.
3. A large number of windows becomes the key to excellent natural light. Even the smallest rooms will provide residents with comfort and coziness.
4. We treat the timber with a special protective impregnation, which ensures complete invulnerability to attacks by harmful insects and improves the fire resistance of housing.
5. The price of modern wooden houses remains extremely low. At the same time, you can partially verify their level of quality from the photos on our website and be fully convinced already in the first days of your stay.

Profiled timber This is a modern building material that is made from coniferous trees by milling and planing. At the same time, a special profile is attached, such material is easy to lay, thanks to the tenons and grooves, the walls are assembled from it like a constructor, which significantly saves time and money, the walls remain geometrically smooth, thanks to the rigid coupling, in the form of a lock and do not require further finishing.

Types of profiles and sizes

Exists three main sizes profiled timber: (dimensions are indicated in clean form)

• 140 per 90 mm (wall thickness 9 cm) - for country houses and mainly used as partition beams
• 140 per 140 mm (wall thickness 14 cm) the most popular timber size, the so-called “golden mean”
• 140 per 190 mm (wall thickness 19 cm) used for cottages and houses for permanent residence

By profile type:

• Finnish- the beam profile has two pronounced spikes
• Comb- has a large number of thorns
• Scandinavian- this is a subspecies with a comb profile.
• Lunar- or in other words, “block house”, semicircular on the outside and smooth on the inside, the most popular type of timber
• Smooth- the profile is smooth on both sides, with beveled chamfers.

By degree of humidity:

• Timber with natural humidity (25-40%)
• Chamber drying timber (forced) (no more than 20%)

By harvesting season:

• Winter forest(raw materials for timber, prepared in winter)
• Summer forest

Production technology

For the production of profiled timber they use conifers wood, spruce or pine. We take blanks of unplaned timber measuring 150 by 100, 150 by 150 or 150 by 200 mm, depending on the size we want to obtain. Using the milling method, 0.5 cm is removed from both sides, while the beam is given a profile (a semicircle on one side or even sides, two tenons or a comb), in the other two a profile is formed in the form of a “tenon and groove” At the output we get a planed timber profiled on 4 sides, the whole process takes 1-2 minutes per 1 piece. (beam 6.0 meters long). Profiling is carried out on special four-sided planing machines profile cutters.

The photo shows standard blanks of unplaned timber, ready for milling and profiling

Timber after profiling in stacks, ready for shipment to the sawmill

Close-up, beam profile from the outside under the “block house” (lunar)

The profile of the timber is smooth on both sides with natural humidity under a canopy before shipment

Important: Finish walls made of such timber must be sawn down and cut into a root tenon (another name for a “warm corner”) or its variety, dovetail. Inter-crown insulation, jute, is always laid between the crowns.

Cutting the corners of houses, only in the root tenon, according to GOST 30974−2002

Jute insulation between each crown of timber of capital walls and partitions

Thanks to the tenons and grooves, the timber is connected into a rigid, geometrically even structure

For reference:

In one cube of timber 150 by 100 mm - 11 pcs.

In one cube of timber 150 by 150 mm - 7.0 pcs.

In one cube of timber 150 by 200 mm - 5.5 pcs.

This affects the cost of a log house; for example, a house of equal size and area made of 150 by 200 mm timber will always be more expensive. Since the number of beams in a cube is smaller, which means more cubes are needed for construction, take this into account when requesting or planning the construction of a future home

The choice of timber profile does not affect the cost (you can choose either a lunar profile (under the “block house” from the outside) or even on both sides).

• We have own production profiled timber.
• There are two in production drying chambers, at your service, chamber drying timber.
• And also timber for winter harvesting.
