The construction of a house from a bar or log should be carried out in strict accordance with established technologies. However, in some cases, the formation of gaps between the walls and the ceiling cannot be avoided. Then they need to be repaired, because if you leave everything as it is, the heat-saving function of the house and the level of sound insulation will significantly decrease.
The use of construction foam for blowing cracks in a wooden house is not welcome because such restoration has disadvantages, which are in an unaesthetic form of construction.
Materials for sealing cracks in the house of timber or logs
One of the most effective ways to seal the cracks between the walls and the ceiling is caulking. In the course of the work, it is possible to achieve tightness and an aesthetically attractive appearance.
For caulking can use the following materials:
- Moss;
- Hell;
- Jute;
- Flax;
- Special sealants.
Recently, the use of moss is increasingly rare. This is because materials appeared on the construction market that cope much better with the task of warming and sealing cracks and are characterized by a high degree of environmental friendliness.
Of particular note is the use of a, an environmentally friendly material that does not absorb moisture and is not a medium for the propagation of fungi, mold and pathogens. A significant advantage of the material is its ability to retain heat without letting cold air into the room. Thanks to this, home owners can save during the heating season by refusing to use additional electric heaters.
Gap sealing technology
Close up cracks in a wooden house is recommended in the process of its construction. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to reduce the likelihood of heat loss, moisture leakage and skewing of the building structure.
To ram the tow or jute into the cracks and securely fasten the materials, special hammer tools should be used in the work. One of the easiest and most effective options is a wood mallet.
It is necessary to impose the material with flaps, the minimum value of which is 5 cm on the sides of the formed gap. In this case, much depends on the diameter of the gap, its size and location. When carrying out work, it is important not to rush and carefully tamp the materials, which will make it possible to reliably fix them and prevent any displacement.
