The beam is called a log cut from a solid tree. Usually the beam has a thickness of 100 millimeters. In the production, the tree trunk is cut into several parts: the core is a beam, the rest goes to the boards. Most often you can find a beam from conifers.
Houses made of wood are now gaining their former popularity – they are environmentally friendly, well maintain heat, thanks to impregnation means – do not rot, beetles do not start in them and their fueling is reduced. The house can be built from a whole log, but the beam has many advantages in front. Since the beam has the shape of a square, it is easier to collect walls from it. There is practically no room left between the bars, so the house will be less blown up by the house.
The houses built from the beam are beautiful, the walls of such a house do not require additional decoration. Unless the owners themselves want this. Not only a whole beam is represented on the market, you can buy glued beam. It is made of boards glued together. Glued beam is little inferior to the whole, it can also be used for supporting walls. An ordinary beam requires long drying, glued beam immediately goes dried, as the boards are already glued dry. Glued beam has all the properties of the whole, but it does not need to be impregnated with antiseptics, it is not subject to decay, damage to the fungus and insects.
