The wooden house has high heat-saving characteristics and attractive views. In order to create a cozy atmosphere, it is necessary to carefully process the seams between the crowns of the log house. During construction use tow or moss. About a year after shrinkage, it is possible to mask the insulating material with a rope. This type of decoration looks best if cylindrical logs were used to build the house..Types of rope for finishing
Before buying a rope, you need to determine which type is best suited to the appearance of the house and the diameter of the crowns. In order not to be mistaken, buy a meter of different types of material and try them on. Also important is the cost of linen and hemp material are among the most expensive. In stores you can find the rope of the following types:
• kapron (polyamide) is very elastic, durable, resistant to shock, jerking, abrasion, alkali, rotting, but under load it stretches by 20-25% and does not tolerate the effects of solvents and acids;
• polypropylene rope is resistant to solvents, alkalis, acids, but does not tolerate sunlight;
• polypropylene «Multitex» It has increased resistance to aggressive chemicals and abrasion, but does not tolerate ultraviolet rays;
• hemp environmentally friendly (made from hemp stems), resistant to ultraviolet rays, but accumulates moisture, while easily tearing and becoming prone to rot;
• impregnated hemp hemp fibers are impregnated with E-1 (anti-corrosion grease) in order to increase strength and durability;
• Sisal environmentally friendly, resistant to ultraviolet rays, moisture and rotting processes; by weight lighter than hemp;
• cotton is made of heels, lightweight, elastic, soft, but not very strong and prone to decay;
• Manila is made from natural material, durable and quite resistant to decay;
• jute is made from environmentally friendly material (plants called jute), resistant to ultraviolet rays;
• flaxseed resistant to ultraviolet rays, abrasion, but with the accumulation of moisture acquires a tendency to rot.
Decoration process
The rope is installed to finish the seams between the crowns. This can be done before the final varnish painting. It is fastened with hot-melt adhesive and finishing nails, which are driven in 15-20 cm (the material should not sag or puff). Then the wall and finish are varnished or even painted.
Wiring has to be carried out along the lower rim and corners and carefully masked. After installing the rope, the room receives additional thermal insulation and acquires its original appearance. Such a laying process requires a lot of time, but it is almost impossible to beautifully insulate the walls of a wooden frame with other materials.
