Glued Beam Houses

Thanks to the industrial approach to wooden house-building, modern wooden houses are free of natural timber flaws; they've kept the best timber qualities and attained new ones: safety and lasting quality, better ability to store heat, absence of grounds to decay and insect infestation, perfect machined surface that does not require any further finishing. Sokol woodworking plant was the first enterprise in Russia that simultaneously with leading Scandinavian companies has switched to commercial production of glue laminated graded beams. Glue laminated graded beam is significantly better than traditional construction materials such as brick, concrete and cylindrical timber in terms of thermal properties. The ruggedness of the glued seams increases the timber ruggedness. Glue laminated beam is the most up-to-date material for wooden house-building at present. Production and construction of such houses is the major task set and successfully implemented by the NTC's house-building division.

Key advantages of glue laminated graded beam in comparison to traditional timber materials are as follows:

• during its maintenance the glue laminated beam house is not "shifted", its structures are not deformed;

• the construction period is reduced - the house installation on the precast foundation does not exceed 3-4 weeks; glue laminated beam houses may be installed all year round;

• there is no need in deep and heavy foundations - glue laminated beam houses as well as all other wooden houses are much lighter than brick and stone houses, they may be erected on precast foundations;

• there is no need in exterior and interior finishing: glue laminated beam surface is even and smooth;

• graded elements manufactured at precision equipment are fayed during the assembly work and it ensures air-tightness, wind and damp resistance.

Glue laminated beam for NTC houses is produced of different width: 82, 100, 150 and 200 mm.

Sets of houses are delivered prefabricated as well as in any other configuration as the client wishes. The set of glue laminated beam house includes: wall structures, floor structures (hammer braces, floor batten), roof frameworks, roof batten, structures of bay windows, balconies, lanterns, windows and doors, stairs, required wooden timber material.
