The Canadian House Technology is widely known in the world experience in the construction of frame houses. It was invented hundreds of years ago. The technology has improved over the past few years and has gained even more popularity in Canada, where it continues to be the most popular way to create family homes as well as various types of public buildings.
Since the Canadian style of house building is suitable for any climate, it has become popular in the Scandinavian countries, where winters are very harsh, and in southern European countries, where the summers are quite hot. This type of home is easier to heat up in the winter and stays cool in the summer. Currently in Ukraine there is an opportunity to buy a house kit for construction using Canadian technology.
The main material used for the construction of timber frame houses using Canadian technology is pine wood, from which the frame of walls, ceilings and roofs is created. The ideal moisture content of wood for building a house is 18-20%, and this is very important. The wood itself is carefully selected and processed to prevent the risk of fire and the negative effects of moisture. This guarantees a long service life and fire resistance no less than that of a traditional house.
Wood-based panels or any other type of material are used to cover walls and ceilings. Thermal insulation is installed in the spaces inside the walls, which provides savings of more than 50% for both heating and cooling. Another important advantage of the frame-panel system is the saving of time for installation work. However, it should be remembered that it is not recommended to stretch the work over several years, as this will negatively affect the structure of the wood.
