House made of timber into a bowl. What is better - assembling the timber “in a bowl” OR in a “warm corner”? Which is better: a warm corner or in a bowl?

- this is a log house with releases, when the logs extend beyond the log house box by 30-50 cm. The place where the logs meet in the log house is called a “lock”, where they are fastened together by cutting in the log, made in a special way. The castle was cut out in the form of a semicircle, according to the shape and size of the log that will fit into this groove, reminiscent in configuration of a drinking vessel, therefore, in the everyday life of carpenters, such a corner connection has been called “into a bowl” since time immemorial.

A log house without outlets is a log house where the corners of the house are smooth, without protrusions beyond the contour of the building and have special form in the form of a trapezoid or in “ dovetail" The carpenter's term “corner of a log house into a paw” also goes back deep into antiquity, when Russian architects cut down huts, wooden estates and towers with only one ax, erecting real works of wooden architecture.

The timber castle has nothing in common with a real bowl; it has straight shapes, because the beam itself has the correct geometric shape, in contrast to a semicircular log. There are houses made from timber into a bowl production manufacturing, so-called “constructors” and manual, when a team of experienced carpenters at the construction site erects a frame house from timber and manually makes a cut into a bowl in each timber.

Log house made of timber "in warm corner“is built “without a trace”, when the lock on the corners is cut out using a method called “half-dovetail” in carpenter’s terminology.

2. Profiled timber with cups manufactured in production

Mechanical sawing of the bowl has its pros and cons.

In production, a lock “with remainder” is made on a special milling machine. The design of the machine contains plates with cutters, which have sharp edges and, rotating, cut out recesses in the wood of the desired shape and configuration. The cutters are removable; after sharpening, they are returned to their place. The plates are mounted in a special movable frame, which adjusts the length and width of the bowl lock being manufactured. The milling plates are raised and lowered to create the required depth of cut in the timber. From the machine model and milling plates depends on the level of complexity of the lock, which can be done mechanically in production.

The main advantage of the production of profiled timber with cups is its speed. Mechanical work special milling machine allows for minimum terms produce maximum amount finished timber building material.

Theoretically, the manufacture of a profiled cup lock on a machine should occur with maximum precision, but in fact, this is not always the case. Building materials do not always turn out flawless; sometimes they have to be “finished” on site manually.

The most complex bowl configuration is considered to be a “labyrinth lock” connection, when the cups sawn from all sides are offset on both sides. With this location of the lock in the beam, it is considered impossible for air to penetrate from the outside.

When making a “labyrinth lock” on a milling lock, sometimes inaccuracies and gaps occur when mechanically making this of the most complex type locks occur up to 1-1.5 cm, which does not happen with experienced carpenters who make this type of lock by hand.

3. Profiled timber with hand-made cups

Individual work with a log house made of profiled timber with a cup, when carpenters manually build a specific object, can be compared to the work of a fashion designer. Manufacturing profiled timber with a cup using an industrial method can be equated to “ready-to-wear” work, i.e. mass produced consumer goods.

When assembling a house from profiled timber into a cup from a production kit, the work is most often carried out by semi-skilled carpenters who do not have complex manual skills.

Many manufacturers do not undertake to make log houses with it because of the complexity of making bay corner joints on a machine and offer their customers a frame view of this architectural element in a wooden house.

Experienced carpenters can hand-cut a bay window from timber with a special corner joint in it.

The Chukhlomskaya Usadba company builds designer houses with profiled timber in a cup. But our special pride is the carpenters, the descendants of the architects who built in Rus' in the centuries before last. Our carpenters know the secrets of their craft, which were passed on to them from generation to generation by their great-grandfathers, grandfathers and fathers. They know how to build not only houses from profiled timber with cups, but also cut log houses from solid logs, which is considered the highest qualification of a carpenter.

Therefore, if you want to build a house from profiled timber with cups, contact the company "Chukhloma Estate", we will build you a house, either from a construction set or manual cutting“haute couture” according to an individual project.

Projects of houses made of profiled timber with cups:

Our customers, before making a final choice of project or concluding a contract, often ask the question: “Which cutting method is better: in a warm corner or into the bowl for a house made of timber?

We immediately answer that both methods of cutting corners are windproof from the outside. The quality of the house, its reliability and ability to retain heat are not affected by the types of cutting: a house made of timber, both in a bowl and in a warm corner, will equally warm you in winter.

Of course, provided that the felling is carried out by professional carpenters, subject to all the rules for assembling a log house from timber.

Carpenters from the company "Chukhloma Estate" have the necessary qualities and the skill to cut a house from timber with locks into a bowl or into a warm corner, as needed. Therefore, we do not face the problem of the method of cutting the log house - the choice is up to the customer.

The difference between locks in a warm corner and in a bowl lies in the external design and shape of the castle itself, in the price of a log frame in a bowl and in a warm corner.

Let's look at what a bowl corner is, a warm corner, so that you can decide which cutting method to choose and make your choice.

1.Angle into the bowl

The method of cutting corners or “with removal” is the most expensive method of cutting. This is due, first of all, to the additional consumption of timber during the construction of a house.

The corners in the bowl are the protrusions of the rows protruding 30-50 cm beyond the main contour of the log house; they intersect with each other in the castle unit and continue in the form of extensions.

Making corners into a bowl has been used since ancient times, when cutting. Carpenters used an ax to cut grooves in the log in the form of a semicircle, according to the shape of the log, so that the logs of the log house, when laid in rows, were fastened together in locks, crossing each other.

The shape of a castle in a log with releases in the form of a semicircle reminded ancient carpenters of the shape of a cup, which is why the name of a castle in a log house on the corners came into use - "into the bowl" or "with releases", "with takeaways", "with remainder".

Locks with releases in a log house made of timber have nothing to do with the bowl-shaped form, because they are not made under round log, and under a square-cut beam, but according to tradition it is called “in a bowl”.

The timber “bowl” has a different lock configuration at the corners, this is the so-called. "labyrinth castle". The labyrinth lock has an offset on both sides, which ensures the stability of the frame due to these special offsets. The labyrinth lock also ensures complete tightness of the timber at the corners, which prevents air from entering from the outside.

Construction of a house from timber according to a design in a bowl, filling the corners into the bowl:

2. Castle of a log house made of timber in a warm corner

A log house castle made of timber without releases is called "to a warm corner". This method of cutting corners is also called "without a trace". In appearance, it is similar to a castle in a log house made of hand-cut logs, because it does not have outlets in the crowns beyond the walls.

A house made of timber is cheaper because it uses less building material.

Making a lock in a warm corner follows the principle "dovetail". A tenon in the form of a half-trapezoid is cut out at one end of the beam, and a groove for the half-trapezoid is cut out at the other. The rows of timber with sawn ends fit tightly together in the corners, thanks to the tongue-and-groove system. And this is done on all four sides of the log house, from the first to the last crown.

The dovetail for a warm corner is made using a single template, which carpenters always have at hand. Such complex closure at the corners and “stitching” of the timber in the rows ensures the stability and strength of the entire log house.

A high-quality warm corner ensures complete closure of the timber in the locks and eliminates the blowing of cold drafts from the street.

Carpenters from the “Chukhloma estate” are building a house from timber for two families according to the project; the video shows how they drill holes for wooden dowels, make grooves in the wall “into a groove” and saw out a lock into a warm corner in the timber, making tenons and grooves for closing:

3.Which is better: a warm corner or a bowl?

Both types of locks in a log house are reliable, retain heat well from the inside and do not let in cold from the outside, thanks to their complex configuration: a “labyrinth lock” in a bowl and a “dovetail” lock in a warm coal.

The frame in a bowl with outriggers looks more prominent. It looks distinctly stylish, in keeping with the traditions of log house making, when wooden houses were chopped down with just one axe.

A log frame into a bowl does not imply additional cladding of the walls on the outside, because... the stems on the corners will interfere with this. Bowls on the corners are a sign that the house is made of wood.

But for corner extensions there is an additional consumption of timber, approximately one meter for each beam, so a house made from timber into a bowl is more expensive.

For a house made of timber in a warm corner, no additional building material is spent for the sake of “beauty”, so its production is cheaper.

A log house with a warm angle is even at the corners on all sides, so it can be sheathed on the outside if necessary.

Thus, which timber house suits you best, make the choice yourself: with bowls decorating the log house, but more expensive, or with a warm corner - cheaper and allowing for wall cladding.

Both methods of cutting corners are reliable and time-tested, which shows that quality characteristics one is not inferior to the other.

Assembling a house into a bowl is very popular among our compatriots. This can be easily explained; the fact is that such buildings are distinguished by their environmental friendliness, good thermal properties and long service life. But in order for them to be endowed with these advantages, they need to use the services of experienced specialists. The House from Spruce company has been assembling for many years timber house into the bowl, during this time our specialists have perfected the construction process from profiled timber to the ideal.

Types of connections

Connecting timber using this method may vary depending on the shape of the bowl. There are the following lock slots:

• One-sided. This method of making a bowl is considered to be the most ineffective and simplest corner connection. The bowl itself has a rectangular base and is made on only one side.
• Double sided. The bowl is made at the corner joint points, its depth is made equal to a quarter of the beam. To perform this work you need a specialist with high level skill. The corners of the log house with double-sided bowls have the same drawback as the previous type - they are blown.
• Quadruple. This is the most perfect assembly of a house from timber into a bowl, because it is characterized by insignificant heat losses through corner connections. It is distinguished by cutting a groove on all sides; quite often there is a labyrinth-type lock (windproof), which has alternating bowl parameters.

Assembling a house into a bowl allows you to create country houses V short time. If you use the services of the House from Spruce company, you can be confident in the quality of the work performed. All construction services are guaranteed.

The materials used for the log house are: conifers trees such as spruce or pine. When purchasing material, it is very important to choose straight, even and not damp logs. If the wood is too damp, then when it dries it will become deformed and cracks, gaps between the crowns, etc. will appear.

Before starting work, the logs undergo preparation - the bark is removed from them, then the log is sawed on four sides and the resulting beam is directly profiled. To fasten the elements of the log house, wooden dowels, as well as metal pins and nails are used.

The assembly of a log house into a bowl, carried out by professionals, will bring coziness and convenience to your home. Our specialists only use modern technologies construction, thereby achieving long service life and attractive appearance buildings. By using our services, you don’t have to worry about freezing of the walls and drafts, as there simply won’t be any.

Profiled timber is becoming increasingly popular. The configuration of its profile protects the walls from deformation during the drying process and reduces construction time. In order to minimize the influence of the human factor during the assembly process, a ready-made constructor is used for quality home– profiled timber with cups.

For designed buildings, cutting cups in timber - important stage, on which a castle structure with a windproof labyrinth is created. There are one-, two- and four-sided keyways. To build a house, 2 technologies are used: assembly of a ready-made kit - involves factory production of cups and cutting of cups directly at the site of construction of the house.

Factory production

The cutting of cups is carried out for the production of sets of finished buildings: houses, bathhouses, gazebos. The set, which is obtained as a result of processing and cutting the timber strictly according to the developed project, is assembled on site quite quickly.

This is due to the high precision of woodworking equipment and developed drawings. After assembly, you get a house with perfectly straight and warm walls, which are not blown through and do not require additional finishing.

GOST 30974-2002 provides for a maximum deviation in the size of milled timber of no more than 1.5 mm in width. It is difficult to obtain such accuracy without the use of automatic equipment. The operation of cutting four cups takes about 1 minute.

Additional cutting processing - milling - increases cost finished products. On average this is about 2500 rubles. per cubic meter m. Therefore, some owners, trying to save money, plan to cut the cups on the spot.

Cutting bowls during house assembly

The industry offers manual mobile machines for cutting cups. Such designs can be used in small production facilities. Chainsaws are also widely used.

It takes 8...10 minutes to cut the bowls. As a result, assembling a house from profiled timber without cut cups requires several times more time than when using ready-made kits.

Quality assembled structure depends entirely on the qualifications of the craftsmen. This is precisely the factor that is offset by the purchase of finished products that do not require significant adjustment operations.

Cost of cutting cups

For the price finished products The moisture content of the material and its type (solid timber or laminated veneer lumber) are affected. It is also worth noting that chamber-drying products are more expensive than profiled timber with natural moisture. But dry material has two advantages: the formation of fewer cracks and the ability to construct the finishing of the house within one season.

The price for cutting bowls on glued material with a moisture content of less than 15% is 3000...4000 rubles. per cubic meter m. The data for the timber array is given in the table.

In conclusion of the article

The use of profiled timber with ready-made cups allows you to speed up construction processes and guarantee high quality result. But for these benefits you need to pay an additional price: about 2500 rubles. per cubic meter m. Otherwise - when cutting cups on site - the result depends entirely on the qualifications of the builders.
