The undeniable advantages of houses made from gun carriages

A Norwegian carriage is a log that has been hewn on its sides and is used to assemble the walls of houses. It is distinguished from standard cylindrical logs by its special bowl shape with different parameters for the upper and lower fastening elements, which ensures a reliable connection.

This method of assembly got its name - “Norwegian castle”. Houses made from gun carriages, which were the usual home of Norwegians several centuries ago, are becoming increasingly popular in our country thanks to their non-standard but simple construction. Houses made from gun carriages have gained approval due to a number of undoubted advantages:

high level of thermal insulation: a wall thickness of 20 cm due to the truncated sides of the log houses and the tightest possible connection of logs ensures reliable protection from cold and frost;
reliability and durability: a special system for fixing logs ensures a secure fit, eliminating any deformation;
optimal sizes space: the flat surface of the logs ensures smooth external and interior walls, eliminating the need for additional finishing decorative materials, which means inner space the premises remain spacious, and the exterior of the house is beautiful in its naturalness;
convenience of comfortable living: smooth and flat walls allow you to lay all the necessary communications without much effort and special tricks ( electric wires, plumbing and sewer pipes etc.);
environmental friendliness: in houses made of gun carriages, due to the natural nature of the material, an optimal microclimate for life is established.

Houses built using Norwegian technology from winter forests are distinguished by excellent thermal insulation and are not subject to rotting (the gun carriage passes special treatment protective means).

Carriage - construction material, the production technology of which came to the Russian Federation from Norway. It is a log, two opposite sides of which have been carefully sawn or felled. They build houses from gun carriages using dry and wet logs. In the second case, the start date for operation is postponed until the log dries and the structure shrinks (1-2 years). If the material was used dry, occupancy of the house is possible upon completion of construction.

Gapless technology for cutting log houses from gun carriages. The carriage is a debarked log of large diameter (28-50 cm) with two hewn or sawn opposite surfaces.

Why is it profitable to build a house from a gun carriage?

High thermal insulation properties. The indicator is increased due to the tight fit of the logs, which eliminates the formation of gaps, and the “Norwegian castle” technology for connecting logs. The same technology eliminates the possibility of drafts and freezing of walls
Natural ventilation. Despite high density there are no connections between logs and no obstructions to air circulation. There are also advantages in the presence of phytoncides in the air, since coniferous species are used
More space. Wooden house made of a carriage, in contrast to a structure made of round logs of the same dimensions, more spacious due to the smooth surfaces of the walls
Reduce costs. Facade and internal surfaces walls do not require finishing, which minimizes costs. If desired, you can apply varnish coating. The main thing is not to ignore the need for treatment with fire retardants and antiseptics
The laying of communications has been simplified. Also explained by the smooth walls.

Construction of houses from gun carriages

In the construction of houses from gun carriages, we use exclusively winter-ripened wood of natural humidity from environmentally friendly forests of the Kostroma region. We carry out logging work ourselves on our own plots, so we can guarantee the quality of the material with 100% responsibility. The cutting of the carriage and the assembly of the log house is carried out on procurement plots with subsequent marking of the logs to each other, due to which the installation of the house kit on the developer’s site takes a minimum of time.

Winter forest is an ideal material for making houses from gun carriages.

Construction of houses from gun carriages has been included in the list of services of Srub-Stroy for a long time. Our craftsmen have built dozens of houses from logs processed using Scandinavian technology, all customers are happy! Contact us, we use a carriage High Quality, we work harmoniously, quickly!

Houses made from gun carriages are becoming increasingly popular in our country. This technology came from Norway and quickly conquered the Russian market.

When planning the construction of a house, one of the main issues is the choice of material. If everyone has their own aesthetic requirements for the appearance of a building, then criteria such as reliability, durability and compliance with all safety standards are mandatory for any project. Wood is a building material that perfectly combines all these requirements. Today there are many technologies for wooden house construction (timber, rounded logs, manual cutting), one of which is construction of buildings from gun carriages. It is on this that we will dwell in more detail.

What is a gun carriage?

Carriage- a type of log processed in such a way that two of its sides are oval and the other two are flat. In other words, it is a half-beam shaped like an oval. Builders call it a gable or double-edge beam.

Wood is most often used to make carriages. coniferous species. This is mainly pine, larch or cedar. The average log diameter is 230 mm. After drying in special cameras In order to reduce the humidity level to 18-20%, the carriage is processed on special machines.

The gun carriage came to us from Norway. His invention is a simple way of significant savings in the construction of wooden houses without compromising the heat capacity and thermal insulation of the structure being built. The whole point here is that cutting two sides of a log does not affect its thickness, and, therefore, does not affect the heat capacity of the lumber. However, such processing leaves residues that can be successfully used for roofing or flooring. No need to purchase Additional materials led to the fact that the price of a log frame from a gun carriage became much lower.

But the popularity of the carriage is due not only to its efficiency. Today in Russia, few people use saw cuts during construction - usually all the remains are left at the woodworking plant. The Norwegian technology for constructing wooden buildings has one more secret - a special way of connecting logs in a log house. Wedge-shaped bowls (cutouts for laying logs on top of each other) with special tenons and grooves allow you to create a coupling that, when dried, only becomes stronger, does not lead to deformation and cracks in the log house, and does not require additional insulation - that’s what made Norwegian houses from the gun carriage popular all over the world.

Advantages and disadvantages of the carriage

Of course, like any other building material, the carriage has its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Norwegian building construction technology

The first thing that can be said about the advantages of structures made from carriages is: visual lightness of buildings. At the same time, architectural projects amaze with their diversity.
High degree of thermal insulation– the second plus. The carriage can be considered the warmest type of log. And the “Norwegian” lock completely eliminates the possibility of blowing.
Side cuts have a significant impact on the usable area ratio of premises built from carriages.
Norwegian construction technology allows you to save money on some expense items, such as creating trims for window and doorways, installation of additional heat and noise insulation, external and internal wall decoration.
The assembly features require the most careful selection of raw materials and their high-quality processing, which has a positive effect on the structure.

Disadvantages of the carriage

I wonder what special fastening of logs in a log house can be considered both a plus (it significantly improves the thermal insulation of the room) and a disadvantage construction technology. The fact is that the design of the castle, called “Norwegian”, although different high strength, but its production is quite difficult. Along with processing the timber at the sawmill, it is necessary handmade. The design of the lock requires a large number of embedded corners, which cannot be done on a machine.

In addition, we can highlight the following disadvantages of using gable timber in construction:

The need to treat the material with antiseptics, due to the peculiarities of carriage production, when the top, densest layer is removed, and the inner, softer layer goes into production. When choosing an antiseptic, in addition to its basic properties, you need to take into account the environmental safety of the composition.
The appearance of side cracks during drying of logs. This does not affect technical properties material, however, reduces the aesthetic parameters of the walls.

Construction technology

Any construction process includes several stages. The construction of houses from gun carriages is no exception.

Foundation

The construction of any building begins with the foundation. If during construction they choose Norwegian carriage, then a shallow-depth device is recommended strip foundation.

A shallow strip foundation is a single concrete strip buried 20-30 cm into the soil, which runs along the perimeter of the building and under all load-bearing walls Houses.

This concrete base It is distinguished by the simplicity of the installation process and the ability to withstand heavy loads. One of the advantages of this load-bearing frame is the possibility of arranging a basement. Moreover, its installation is possible under different soil characteristics.

The service life of such a structure is about 200 years. That's why one-story houses From the carriage, they are most often erected on a monolithic strip foundation.

Walling

The first stage of assembling wall partitions is to prepare the material. The carriage is exposed antiseptic treatment and cutting out grooves and bowls. Having made the markings using a hydraulic level, prepare the grooves using an axe, adze and chainsaw. In this case, the bowl must correspond to the cross-section of the lower transverse crown element (the log located below). Each log must be fitted and marked.

Next stage - drilling holes for dowels. The holes should be staggered.

A dowel is a special wooden (sometimes iron) nail used to connect logs, the main purpose of which is to strengthen the frame and protect it from deformation during the shrinkage process.

Primary assembly is carried out without the use of dowels, the fastening of which is carried out only after a thorough check of the correct installation of the structure.

Sawing window and door openings should be done as the walls are being constructed. Installation of an end board is required. To additionally protect the geometry of the house, compensators are used in the vertical elements of the building.

Compensators are special devices (screws or springs) that are placed between the vertical and horizontal elements of a wooden structure. They are designed to compensate for the negative manifestations of shrinkage, such as deformation and cracking of logs.

Roof

Considering that the carriage is very durable, stable and can withstand heavy loads, the roof of the building can be made of any material. Both lightweight systems, such as roofing felt, ondulin, metal tiles or slate, and heavier ones, such as clay tiles, are equally suitable. The choice remains with the customer.

The main thing when installing a roof is to follow the assembly sequence, which includes the following steps:

Installation of the Mauerlat (beam-base of the roof frame, which is laid along the upper perimeter of the building).
Installation rafter system(bearing beams of the frame on which the roof is attached and which are responsible for the angle of inclination of the roof).
Laying hydro- and vapor barrier materials.
Laying insulation.
Installation of roofing material.

Interior and exterior decoration

Wooden houses made from gun carriages are good because, in principle, do not need internal or exterior decoration . However, if you want to experiment with the interior, you need to consider what to start interior decoration a house made of gun carriages can be built no sooner than in six months, when natural shrinkage of the building occurs.

Before the beginning finishing works the walls need to be caulked. This process will avoid further changes to the building geometry.

Most often, lining, plasterboard or Wall panels. The principle of fastening such material assumes the presence of a sheathing, which is made of timber or logs. The space between the wall and the sheathing can be used as a niche for laying communications. In this case, fire safety requirements must be met.

However, not everyone likes this method of finishing: firstly, it takes away usable area rooms, and secondly, insects and rodents often organize their homes in such niches.

In this case, it is better to leave the walls in their original form. They can be painted or varnished.

Application plaster solutions excluded, since wood has the ability to “breathe” (either absorb moisture or dry out) throughout the entire life of the building. Putty will not withstand such a load.

In general, the interiors of houses made from gun carriages are quite diverse. It can be a colorful Moroccan style or a discreet, elegant English style; romantic Provence also looks great. Furniture and interior elements will help you achieve your design ideas.

Prices for houses from gun carriages

Cost of building a house according to Norwegian technology depends on the area of the future structure, the type of wood, and the thickness of the log. Also, the price is significantly influenced by such criteria as natural humidity and chamber drying carriage.

The cost of 1 m 3 of lumber with natural moisture is about 22 thousand rubles; chamber drying of the carriage will add about another three thousand rubles to this price. Work on installing a strip foundation, taking into account materials, will cost about 12 thousand rubles per 1 m 3, and roofing will cost an average of 4 thousand rubles per 1 m 2.

Every year, environmentally friendly housing becomes more and more valuable. If, moreover, the carriage house is built according to modern technologies, equipped with all necessary communications and meeting the parameters of reliability and durability, what could be better? A house made of gun carriages is perhaps one of these options.

In our article we will talk about the Norwegian technology of constructing houses from rounded wooden trunks. We will tell you what a gun carriage is, what and how it is made from, and we will look at the design features of the walls. You will also learn what are the advantages and disadvantages of houses made from gun carriages.

Houses built from solid logs are considered to be the hallmark of the Russian village. Skilled craftsmen in wooded areas, using primitive tools, created real masterpieces of wooden architecture. True, as it turned out, not only in Russia they knew how to build houses from long logs. Norwegian carpenters also knew a lot about wooden joints and highly reliable structures; they have long built houses from logs treated in a special way, which were called carriages.

Carriage - what is it?

A carriage is a semi-oval log, sawn and planed on both sides so that two rounded planes parallel to each other are obtained. Conventionally, it can be considered a board with rounded edges. The size of this element is usually standard and is: 240x400 millimeters.

There is also an analogue to the term “carriage” - a gable beam.

Any type of construction wood can be used as a material for making a carriage, but most often it is pine.

In contrast to prefabricated laminated long lengths, this product is more demanding on the quality of the raw materials:

Only high quality wood is used to produce the carriage.
The trunk must have a uniform structure along its entire length, since the slightest defects cannot be removed or replaced.
Only wood with normal humidity, ranging from 12 to 15 percent, can be processed.
In other respects, the elements of the log house correspond to the well-known rounded log.

Features of a log house from a gun carriage

IN Norwegian log house The logs are fastened using the so-called “Norwegian lock”. At first glance the crowns look like a standard 900 harness, but the secret is hidden inside. Complex cutting can only be done by a careful and skilled carpenter.

Showing how to make this cut is quite difficult, just like teaching from a book. This is the main reason for the low spread of the mentioned technology. The connection takes a long time to complete, besides, this work is highly precise and requires adjustments - among carpenters it is called “furniture”.

Why such difficulties? A complex cutting has several objectives that subsequently justify the time spent:

A higher number of nested angles improves mechanical reliability.
The increased contact area between the two elements increases the friction force in the pair.
The design of the notch contributes to optimal distribution of the load inside the ligament, compacting and strengthening it. That is, the load from the weight of the walls is directed to strengthening the connection directly between the crowns.
Foreign fastenings are excluded: there are no points of excess stress, since the load is evenly distributed throughout the entire structure.

This “multidisciplinary” approach to connecting crowns is fully justified. After all, it is obvious that the additional time spent on the log house during the construction process will result in years and even decades of problem-free operation in the future. In other words, the Norwegians managed to extract the maximum from the structural features of the tree trunk, using a reasonable approach and original technology.

Pros and cons of log houses from gun carriages

Advantages of the material

natural, environmentally friendly raw material – wood. Ease of processing and installation of other elements (lathing, stairs, ceilings, etc.);
centimeters are not lost indoors. Logs protruding inside the sides are one of the main problems of all log houses built from logs with round. But the walls made of gun carriages have appearance like calibrated timber, they do not require further processing and coating (except for grinding and antiseptic);
assembly of a log house does not require electricity (except for lighting) and metal fasteners, which reduces the cost of building a house;
the connection of the crowns strengthens the ligament during settlement and increasing load on the walls;
a wood thickness of 240 millimeters is equivalent in thermal conductivity to 380 millimeters brickwork one and a half bricks.

Disadvantages of the material

complex, expensive and labor-intensive construction process. The log house is assembled at a landfill, then marked, and then disassembled for subsequent transportation;
in 90% of cases it is a unique custom-made project. That is, construction will have to be planned in advance, about two years in advance, so that the material for it has time to be prepared;
even in the form of a carriage, such a log still has all the “wooden” problems: wear due to weathering, freezing, instability to insects, rot and fire hazard. In addition, like any solid wood log house, it needs antiseptic every two to three years and caulking every 3 to 6 years.

Worth knowing about gun carriage houses

It is often very difficult to find specialists who are able to perform quality cutting and installation. In this case, the prefabricated kit has to be transported from afar, and this increases transportation costs. Although, on the other hand, this can be considered as an advantage, because the house can be delivered to any place.

A house built from a gun carriage - perfect option for those who consider structures made from solid logs to be the best. Undoubtedly, in terms of reliability of fastening and load distribution, the Norwegian notch can be classified as best example engineering solution. Therefore, European technical thought, along with a thrifty attitude towards resources, is rightfully conquering our market, promoting high-quality technical solutions and environmentally friendly materials.
