Construction wooden house requires a serious and responsible approach. It is not always possible to move in and live in a house quickly. This is influenced by various circumstances. Today we will focus on the shrinkage of a wooden house. How does this process affect the construction time of the structure? Glued laminated timber is gaining momentum in the demand of consumers who are interested in the question of how shrinkage deformation occurs. Does a house made of laminated veneer lumber need long-term shrinkage?

In a few words we will tell you about the production technology of laminated laminated building materials. Without having an idea about this, it is difficult to understand how such a house shrinks, whether there are any similarities with shrinkage wooden buildings from other materials.

  1. Selected timber is used for the production of laminated veneer lumber. The wood blooms into lamellas of a certain size.
  2. Each lamella goes through a drying stage in a chamber at a moderate temperature.
  3. The board is carefully processed with a plane on four sides.
  4. At the sorting stage, they select the best preparations for the future timber.
  5. Glue under pressure special composition several boards (from 2 to 5 pieces, depending on the thickness of the timber), turning the fibers and wood rings in opposite directions.

The result is a high-strength blank for a wooden house. Humidity in finished product reduced to 10%.

The house is assembled like a designer, if the timber is profiled. Assembly corner connections It is better to carry out it in a Canadian cup, characterized by a wedge-shaped joint of the crowns. This improves the settling process of the house.

Glued laminated timber with a profile is passed through a machine, forming a tongue-and-groove joint. The links of the log frame fit tightly to each other, building an even and beautiful wall. Intercrown insulation helps improve thermal insulation properties. And the right insulation reduces settling of the house due to its elasticity. It is possible to assemble a house from laminated veneer lumber with your own hands, having an idea of ​​construction and following the diagram.

But does such a log house need shrinkage after assembly?

Wood has a porous structure. Even after chamber drying The porosity of the product is maintained. Only the drying time of the canvas is reduced. Glued laminated timber is assembled from several dried elements. The adhesive connection prevents moisture from penetrating into the timber.

Water will not get into the links of a wooden house thanks to the dense lock connection, surface smoothness. In fact, seasonal expansion or contraction of wood should not occur. This means that the shrinkage deformation will be weak. But this is not entirely correct. The settling of a wooden house is an inevitable process that takes place over several years. In some cases always. Only for each type wooden log house have their own shrinkage parameters.

The shrinkage of laminated veneer lumber is minimal compared to rounding or manual chopping logs The amount of shrinkage of a house made of laminated veneer lumber with a wall height of 3 meters is 2 cm. For comparison, a log house shrinks by 10 cm. To be more convincing, we present a comparative table of values ​​for all types of wooden houses:

You should not neglect the shrinkage process at home; sometimes the consequences are irreversible.

What affects shrinkage at home?

Glued timber house shrinks within three years. In the first three months, the frame shrinks by 70%; in subsequent years, the links fit tightly together by the remaining 30%. Therefore, you can begin to live immediately after the construction of all load-bearing structures, roof, floor and ceiling.

Although the shrinkage deformation of a house made of laminated veneer lumber is minimal, there is still a risk of deformation of the structure. What does this mean:

Why should you pay attention to the degree of shrinkage?

Shrinkage occurs in an erected structure made of any material: brick, concrete, blocks. Wood is characterized by additional shrinkage during wood drying. Therefore, a wooden mansion is subject to greater changes than a stone one.


What else is being discussed by the construction forum about laminated veneer lumber and its shrinkage, we’ll talk separately.

Read the reviews!

There are conflicting opinions and reviews on the issue of how a house made of laminated veneer lumber shrinks. Having looked through the responses of forum members, there was a feeling that many were faced with poor quality material or an unscrupulous developer.

I dreamed of a wooden house since childhood. I decided to buy a laminated timber frame for shrinkage, believing that laminated veneer lumber is the most durable material and you can live with it immediately after the construction of the house. A year after the housewarming, I noticed delamination on some parts of the walls that were constantly exposed to the sun. I don't know what to do with the cracks. Of course I'll caulk it. But the view is completely unsightly. Disappointed.

Our opinion on this review:

The timber cracked due to poor quality glue. The manufacturer wanted to make money and cut costs, hoping for the best. The adhesive joints failed high temperature, the lamellas began to peel off from each other. It's sad, of course. This usually happens if a person has not studied the market of offers and chose what was cheaper. With a house made of laminated veneer lumber, there is no need to save on this. It is better to show stinginess elsewhere.

The forum is replete with such statements. But you need to go to the forum for advice not at the stage when the house is built and problems begin, but when the idea of ​​building a wooden house first appears. The construction forum helps you avoid getting ripped off. Be interested in experience ordinary people and professionals, of whom there are many on the Internet. But the forum cannot always be a help. Contact specialists from trusted companies with real, not virtual projects of houses made of laminated veneer lumber. They will definitely tell you about the shrinkage of such a structure and when you can celebrate a housewarming.

In our work on the construction of houses from timber, we use two configurations: - “Turnkey” and “Shrinkable”. You can understand the completeness of each type by its name:

"Full construction"- the package has everything necessary set to start using the house from the moment of its delivery.

"Shrinking"- such a building gets used to the conditions of temperature and humidity changes at different times of the year, and gives natural shrinkage. After going through all the seasonal cycles, the house can be finished both outside and inside.

Beautiful dark houses from the cylinders they look expensive and presentable. It is not difficult to achieve imitation of aging - several methods are used for this, details are given below. It is important to follow the instructions correctly and then the facade will become unusual, meeting the demanding taste of the owner.

How to darken wood

The easiest way is to paint the cylinders in the appropriate color with a coating composition. But then the log will lose its natural attractiveness in the form of a natural pattern, which is undesirable for a new home.

There is an alternative:

Varnishing with dark varnish or a glazing composition with color will make the dark brown facade of the house look magnificent. The second option is preferable, since varnish polymers crack under temperature changes, and the surface becomes dotted with a network of small defects. The protective properties are reduced - moisture interacts with the log. Regular maintenance and painting will be required.

Before the procedure, the trunks are carefully ground manually or automatically, the surface is swept from chip dust, protective impregnations and fire retardant are applied - a component that protects against fire. Then the decorating composition is applied in several layers.

stain

A special material that highlights the wood pattern when applied. Rub it in with a stiff brush, cover with used or linseed oil. This option requires preventive maintenance of a wooden house dark color constant processing.

A solution of manganese can be used as a stain. They make it strong and work with gloves, otherwise burns are possible. In addition, potassium permanganate is used to disinfect wood, sparing the mixture. After application, allow the walls to dry thoroughly before applying oil or varnish.

Logs are processed blowtorch with all precautions to prevent combustion. Then rub the soot over the surface, working vigorously and with pressure. Before the procedure, grinding is not carried out, since then rubbing will be effective. Next, the resulting dark-colored log house is coated with a layer of oil or varnished. After the work is completed, the structure is carefully inspected to identify smoldering.

Lovers of all things natural will love the method of darkening wood with a decoction of oak bark. Substances in an aqueous solution also make the structure disinfected. There is a disadvantage of the procedure - it involves the use of water, and strong moisture is undesirable for wood. Therefore, they act manually, without a sprayer, preventing contact large quantity solution into the inter-crown spaces.

Application of ferric chloride

The use of ferric chloride can produce a variety of shades. Dark facade The houses are made from cylinders, it turns out, from dark green to black. To get what you want, you should experiment on a separate area or piece of log. This processing is associated with chemical reactions, That's why personal protection must be at its best.

You can also age a log using multiple colors using the dry brush method: brush strokes of yellow and White color. After complete drying, the surface is sanded with coarse sandpaper with different efforts: in some places a lot is removed, in others a little. Resulting beautiful houses dark in color, they look like solid estates that have survived a lot.

There are many ways to achieve the desired result - valuable old wood. The best of them are used in furniture production - cabinetmakers know the secrets of turning birch into cedar. Before starting the procedures, you should think about whether darkening is so important: light rounding looks no less beautiful.
