Ecology and house from glued beams

Wooden construction has been known since ancient times. Even then, people knew that the tree has unique properties: being excellent building material, it at the same time made it possible to create a comfortable and healthy microclimate necessary for residents of a wooden house.

The popularity of wood and today remains very high. Country wooden houses are especially appreciated (as in the photo on the left, which depicts one of the houses built by Grandstroy) which can be made in any style — from Russian antiquity, rustic country and European Gothic to classic strict samples.

Deciding to build a wooden house, many are faced with the problem of choosing between the log and the beam. Today we will talk about the advantages and features of glued beams.

Some may embarrass the technology of gluing wooden lamelles and the use of synthetic adhesive products, which can adversely affect the unique properties of a tree. However, in the production of glued beams, a safe chemical composition is used. The surface layers of the lamellas penetrate each other, mix, and the adhesive component at the same time almost completely evaporates, leaving only particles of a substance that is safe for both for humans and atmosphere, since it does not emit harmful substances. This is proved by numerous research and experiments.

Also, glued beams are dried in a special way, which gives it additional strength characteristics and allows not to be shrinkable, which significantly increases its properties compared to solid wood.

Experts assure that the houses made of glued beams are more durable and reliable, safe and environmentally friendly. In addition, glued wood allows you to implement the most daring architectural and design ideas, which makes it even more popular and popular.
