Technical features of a profiled timber
Before starting construction, you can process all surfaces with special impregnations that prevent the spread of fire. The Minus of a rough beam is a long shrinkage, the probability of cracks, the exposure of infection with a fungus and beetles that can attack wood. A more expensive profiled beam is less susceptible to all of the above and easier to work.
Even those who preferred non -combustible materials for a bathhouse like brick and stone appreciated the attractiveness of a profiled beam. Of course, he also needs shrinkage, but in time it takes less. But the ideal option for the construction of wood steamers is glued beams. It consists of several layers of wood that glue among themselves. Pros: the beam is dry and minimally seated, not subject to pests and fungi. Cons: high cost and lower degree of environmental friendliness due to the presence of glue.
