It happens that the construction of a house needs to be suspended for the winter. This can be caused by various reasons: the termination of funding, technological restrictions on the conduct of work in the winter, or the desire to save money. After all, many contractors calculate the cost of work in the cold season, taking into account the winter coefficient.If we are talking about stone houses, then the suspension of construction in winter at some of its stages is even justified. So it will be useful to stop work at the stage of laying the foundation. Over the winter, the foundation will shrink naturally and the building built in the new season will be more stable.Wooden construction has its own technological requirements. A wooden house should overwinter one winter without heating, so that the tree goes through the process of natural drying and shrinkage. In a heated room, the shrinkage process of the tree will occur unevenly. The outer side of the beam will be exposed to negative temperatures, the inner side - plus. In this case, the geometry of the beam and, accordingly, the walls may be violated. But if the house is built to the level of an interstory ceiling or a rafter part (without a roof), it must be preserved for the winter.Why preserve a house The main purpose of preserving any structure (including wooden) is to protect load-bearing structures from moisture. Getting on the open end of the wall, water will seep inside the structure.Since the wood has good absorbent properties, after a short time the water will permeate the upper beams. An ideal environment for the development of putrefactive microorganisms will be created inside the beam. Even if antiseptic impregnations stop the growth of bacteria and fungi, the tree can change color under the influence of moisture. Such a defect will be especially noticeable inside the house, since in most cases wooden walls are not covered with additional finishing materials.At what stage is it possible to preserve a wooden house, it is necessary to plan construction work so that the box of the house with the roof is kicked out by winter. In this case, the house does not need any special conservation measures. If the window and door openings are left open, then they can be tightened with a plastic film with holes (for blowing air) or closed with wooden shields as well with blowouts. It is necessary to leave cracks in the film or shields so that the structure is ventilated.If it was not possible to go under the roof before the onset of winter, then it is desirable to carry out conservation at the stage of inter-storey or attic overlap. It is very undesirable to leave wooden walls without overlapping for the winter. In this case, you will have to build a temporary roof, which in itself is quite a time-consuming process.How to preserve a wooden house For the preservation of a wooden house, waterproofing roll materials will be needed. It can be a roofing material or a thick plastic film. You also need to stock up on wooden slats and nails, with which waterproofing materials will be attached to the structure.If the timber from which the house is being built has not been treated with antiseptic for wood in the factory, but antiseptic impregnation will also be needed. When choosing impregnations, you should carefully read the instructions. It must specify the color of the impregnation. It is necessary to choose colorless ones that do not change the color of the wood. There are compositions for temporary preservation of lumber, their validity period is limited in time. It is usually about six months.If the construction is completed at the stage of the attic floor with the rafter part, then the waterproofing material is placed on the rafters. The film is pressed against the rafters with wooden slats and secured with nails. In the absence of a rafter part and an attic floor, you will have to create a temporary roof. This is a lattice of wooden slats that rests on the walls of the house. Waterproofing material is laid on the grid. Water can get inside the house not only through the roof, but also through the joints between the logs. All joints must be well patched with tow or a special inter-wall insulation made of jute.The number of measures for the conservation of a wooden house includes the removal of water from the foundation. Such events are mandatory only when the house is built on a ribbon foundation. For pile or columnar foundations, water drainage is not necessary. It is possible to divert water from the foundation by the usual layout of the site. The ground is leveled with a slope from the walls of the house. If the work on the layout of the site has not been carried out, a system of grooves is laid to drain the water. Grooves are laid along the entire perimeter of the foundation, drainage channels are laid perpendicular to them. However, such measures are mandatory only in the case of a high groundwater level.The conclusion of the conservation of the house will not be so cheap, especially if you do not do the conservation yourself, but order this complex of works from a contractor. But these costs are completely incomparable with the costs of restoring structures damaged over the winter. Interested in Novomatic games? Visit
