The twentieth century brought the difficulty of fuel that citizens demand for heating of their houses in winter period of time. Today's energy efficiency rules demand more suitable materials than squared timber and beam blockhouses. Strict norms in thermal shielding of buildings that are established in Europe are really difficult to meet. Citizens have to apply effectual thermal insulating materials. There are established different dimensions of thicknesses for diverse types of walls. Brick walls should not be less than 150 centimeters, squared timber walls ? 50 centimeters and only 15 centimeters for wooden framework walls.



Generally, such building method is called a Canadian one. Frame houses are distinctive feature of Canadian architecture. The notion ?sandwich? that appeared in the early 1990-s describes this feature of panel constructions.

To built a house that will meet to all contemporary requirements people have to use carcass technique with efficient insulation materials. It will befit you in such aspects as energy conservation, comfort, ecology and fire safety. The construction is also at the first stage in quality-price ratio. Today eighty percent of people in Canada, USA, Denmark, Norway and France build exactly this kind of houses.

The basis of wood framework of a house is dry wood carcass. Honeycomb structure makes this construction very solid and durable after it is aggregated. From the outside the carcass commonly planked with incombustible cement plate and from the within it is filled with basalt wadding. There made within vapor sealing that prevents moistening of heat insulation material and wooden carcass by fumes inside the building. Moreover, there should be used repulsive insulation that returns approximately 90 percent of heat back in the building. Frames houses commonly mantled with windproof diaphragm on the walls that is helpful for heat reservation of the house. This construction warranties the preservation of wooden framework for the whole period of exploitation of the building.

Trimming of both Canadian house and wood house can be various. The building can be trimmed outside with facade plastic, coloring, tile and other matters. Inside sections of the building may be also faced with boarding, panels, wallpapers and coloring. This frame technology gives an ideal surface for variable trimming of house. Moreover, you may begin face your house right after the installation of carcass, because it doesn't subside. A frame house is lighter in 5-6 times than a clinker one, so it does not require massive foundation. So, the cost of such building will be lower in several times. You can use a shallow foundation in building of this kind of houses. It also can be a foundation of Armco piles with the applying of contemporary heat insulation materials that avert frost penetration in ground under it.

Building of one's own house draws a great amount of problems. A broad spectrum of troubles such as funds, architecture and design should be broadcasted by you. Bear in mind that you are building a home were you will live in the further future. So, your mission is to be thorough with all the particulars, such as professional workers and nice materials.
