Post and beam. The technology of construction of a modern wooden house
Post and Beam from the English words Post and Beam (pillar and beam). In Ukraine houses and baths in this style began to be built quite recently. Houses and baths built style Post and Beam can be immediately noticed due to non-standard appearance. Although if you look closely, you can find a barn or a shed built in this style in almost every village.
Post and Beam technology in Ukraine is called frame-timbered, and is based on the manufacture of a frame of logs – consisting of vertical pillars, horizontal beams, species farms and other elements of logs, which are the supporting structures in a wooden house.
Later in the Post and Beam technology constructions between the log posts and the beams, the walls are filled. External walls and internal partitions can be cut from a log, laid out of bricks or stone, or made of wooden frames, which can be further insulated and trimmed with finishing materials, such as log siding (imitation of logs), unedged boards, shingles or shingles – clapboard, paste on the wall wallpaper or tile.

• the possibility of building a wooden structure of free planning, without tying to the length of a log 6 meters, requires much less length logs than in a chopped log;
• Due to the fact that the construction of Post and Beam is non-shrinking, the roof can be made as complex as far as imagination is enough.
Our colleagues have sufficient qualifications and experience to design and cut down all the components and elements for the construction of the Post and Beam house.
