How to choose a quality block house

When choosing the finishing material, first of all it is necessary to determine where it will be applied. It should be remembered that with internal decoration, narrow panels are used, the length of which does not exceed 6 m, width 9 cm, thickness 2 cm.

The exterior decoration of buildings is done with wide boards, their width is 19 cm and thickness is 3.6 cm. The choice of panel in this case depends on the size of the buildings. Do not forget about the types of wood from which the material is made. Coniferous rocks are best used for finishing living quarters. Conducting the lining of baths and saunas with pine or spruce panels is not worth it, since they contain tar, which when heated is released and leave sticky dark spots.

When choosing a block house board, it is necessary to pay special attention to the compliance of this material with the class, and the location of annual rings in the wood. If the distance between them is small, this means that the boards are of high strength. There are three classes of wooden block house. To each of them specific requirements on color, presence of knots, chipped, blue and others are put forward. In addition to Class A, which is of the highest quality, there is the category "Extra" - the ideal wood. It is very expensive and very rare in the market.

Not the last place in the choice of material is such an item as storage. This affects the quality of installation and operation. Products should be stored in a dry unheated room, on pallets in a special manufacturer's packaging.
