When building a house “under shrinkage”, as a rule, sawn timber of various sections is used. And when building on a turnkey basis, they use profiled timber, which practically does not shrink, but it is insignificant and carpenters easily eliminate it.
When building a house from sawn timber – create a drawing (base) and calculate further investments in finishing the house. And how to say to your taste and color there is no comrade. Some use lining and block house, well, someone likes artificial stone. The most popular option is vinyl siding.
Finishing inside the house may be different. Many people like imitation of timber or lining. My friend sheathed the walls with plasterboard and wallpapered. But to each his own, the choice is yours. Well, to make it easy – let’s designate the pros and cons of houses “turnkey” and “shrinkage”.
So, if you want to have a beautiful house on your site in a month and ready for operation, then your choice is a turnkey house made of profiled timber. But be prepared that longitudinal cracks may appear on the crowns of the log house. They will have to be ignored (because they do not pose a danger), well, or eliminated with the help of modern putties, sealants, and corner kitchens are also needed. I also want to say that this option is the cheapest.
But if you are used to everything thoroughly, despite the financial costs – put the log house “under shrinkage”, wait about a year or a year and a half (depending on the size of the house), and decide on the finish in the second stage, but not the last.
“turnkey” from profiled timber – beautiful, fast, inexpensive.
“Shrink” with further finishing – much more expensive, long.
There are also alternative options for timber construction. For example, profiled forced-drying timber or glued laminated timber.
