Materials for the construction of a wooden country house
Which is better to prefer – a galbed log or a beam? We give the advantages and disadvantages of both the product. Houses made of galled logs look very beautiful.
The original Russians and at the same time modern structures look elegant and very harmonious, especially surrounded by flowers and trees. However, this beauty requires victims. In this case, financial. The fact is that through the outer walls the heat goes much faster than, for example, through the cobblestone walls. Whatever insulation is done, heat loss will still be present. In this regard, the costs of heating dachas from the galled logs are rather big. This is partly why the cottages are not built from this material. Even if you invest a lot of money in the installation of a cottage heating, buy the most modern heating equipment, this will not stop the “leakage” of heat.
Country houses built from the beam are very warm. According to capital, they can be compared even with brick. The walls from the beam are very durable. A layer of insulation creates optimal conditions for wood. Protected from changes in temperature and humidity, it serves much longer than the galbed log, which is constantly exposed to environmental influences.
