What to look for when choosing wood
Quality wood material defines performance characteristics the buildings. Construction companies offer several types of profiled timber.
Timber with EV
For private houses I use profiled timber of natural humidity (EB) everywhere. Section dimensions for living quarters are 100x145, 145x145 and 145x195mm.

The main advantage of timber with natural moisture is its low cost; its production does not require much time. The process of preparation for operation involves only mechanical processing:
- on a special machine - after machining appear required dimensions and shape;
- cutting the profile using the tongue-and-groove or tongue-and-groove type ensures quick and durable assembly.
The material is suitable for the construction of a house for shrinkage. Ideally, this takes summer season, moisture evaporates at positive temperatures.
Dry wood
Dry profiled timber: section for residential buildings– 140x140 (for small ones) or 140x190 mm (suitable for three-story cottages). This is a more expensive and high-quality material. Evaporation of moisture is carried out in modern cameras, supporting gentle drying modes work. Advantages of wood:
- The material is very light and does not require the construction of a powerful foundation.
- Construction work does not require the use of specialized equipment.
- High thermal insulation characteristics, savings on heating.

Drying and shrinkage require a minimum amount of time, to finishing works they start almost immediately. If small cracks appear, caulk it one more time; dismantling the structure is not required.
Wrong material
To build a cottage, it is important to choose the right tree with the right characteristics:
- aspen becomes noticeably deformed after drying;
- oak is the most expensive and very durable material, requiring significant effort when cutting;
- linden quickly rots.
The listed building materials are widely used exclusively for interior decoration.
The right raw materials
Most suitable option for houses are conifers trees, materials from pine and spruce are often used. These species are characterized by a significant resin content in the body of the tree. Regarding construction this disadvantage is an advantage: the resin protects the wood from premature destruction. Comparing spruce and pine with each other, we get the result:
- spruce retains heat;
- pine is more resistant to rotting.
The best option is a dry pine beam with a profile, impregnated with substances that increase its service life.
