New building materials are not so rare in our market. The main direction in the activities of builders-inventors is the creation of environmentally friendly, relatively inexpensive and at the same time reliable materials. Russian specialists contributed their contribution to this case. They created a wooden brick. What it is, you will learn by reading this article.

What is a wooden brick

With ordinary brick, such a building material is similar only to the name and shape. In fact, his relative is a wooden bar, only smaller sizes. Visually, this is a wooden block size of 65x19x6 cm, on the side of which there are special locks for fasteners.

For its production, silf wood is used, exposing it to a row of operations:

• drying until the humidity indicator is reached from 8 to 10%;
• mechanical processing of all block surfaces;
• final grinding.

The output is a product that does not require any more finish. Looking at the wooden bricks house, the photo of which is located below, you will make sure that you should not cover this wooden facade, it looks fine, well, do not apply on the walls of the wax layer.

By the way: in addition to the standard size, it is possible to order a brick and with other parameters. The technology of its manufacture is allowed.

Advantages of wooden bricks

Having created a wooden brick, inventors solved many problems arising from the construction of a wooden house:

1. First, the wooden log house is being built in no one year, because you still need to wait until it dry, give the shrinkage, and then put the windows and doors and only then perform his finish. And when using wooden bricks, the stage of drying and shrinkage is skipped, because it is already sufficient enough. So an environmentally friendly house immediately after the construction is ready for a new school.
2. Secondly, wooden blocks never deform when drying, because The dimensions are small. Consequently, they retain their original shape well and perfectly close with each other without gaps.
3. Thirdly, the structure of wooden brick is much cheaper. Here, the need for expensive construction equipment is reduced to a minimum, no seals, sealants, plastering mixtures are not needed. Perhaps the most expensive elements will be rigid structures in the form of pillars and crowns. Without them, of course, do not do, if we do not want the house to be, but using a glued bar, and we will get savings on it.
4. Fourth, the flight of designer thought does not limit the dimensions of the material, as in the case of the use of a bar or logs. Brick dimensions allow you to lay out any architectural elements from it.
5. Fifth, its price is 2, and sometimes 2.5 times lower than the same glued bar.

Where else use wooden bricks?

In addition, it turns out excellent country houses from this material, from it, both from the children's designer, create:

• gazons in the garden;
• fences;
• flower beds;
• all sorts of exclusive compositions;
• partitions when rewriting in the house;
• extensions to existing buildings.

About shortcomings

The sake of fairness should warn the potential buyer of this innovative contraindication material:

1. If in your region is a harsh climate, then the wooden brick will not suit you - the house will be cold.
2. It is not recommended to build up the multi-storey buildings and houses of a large area from it - such structures will be unstable.
3. It is impossible to start construction without a competently developed project, otherwise the walls may simply fall under the influence of loads.

Is it possible to make wooden bricks with your own hands?

If you contact the specialists with such a question, then in response to hear: "No". Such categorical is explained simply:

1. The factory has high-precision milling and grinding equipment.
2. Many requirements are made to the material and the product itself, which are observed in the conditions of a home workshop very problematic.

Wooden brickwork with your own hands

Professionals allow only independent laying of wooden bricks, but in compliance with the rules:

1. Brick stacked as well.
2. Compliance with dealer must.
3. The block is placed by the edge of the castle.
4. For both external and internal rows, a transverse bandage is required every 3 block. In this case, the dressing material is the same as the one from which the masonry is performed.
5. A coincidence of dressings with bricks of the lower row is not allowed. It must be regularly shifted by 0.5 bricks. Only so we get the right design, a beautiful drawing and a hollow wall.
6. In the interval between the outer and the inner wall is used to accommodate thermal insulation. Sometimes sawdust flows there, they also retain warmly.

Where they produce wooden brick

In Russia, the release of a new building material is engaged:

1. In St. Petersburg, which is a homeland wooden brick. It was here that the specialists of the company "Machine" have developed this know-how. Built houses from this material in the villages of Zaozier, Zhenichino, Harmony. If in the construction market you will meet the Woodbird wooden brick brand, then this is the products of this company.
2. In Tomsk, similar products from pine are a cozy house. At the same time on the wooden brick, the price of this manufacturer is lower than those of Petersburgers.
