Protection of wooden houses from the rotting process

A cottage made of wood is quite durable. But still, when building, designing, and during operation, care must be taken to ensure that the process of decay does not occur. Now the wooden house is very popular. Wooden houses are not only beautiful, but also durable. Such a house can serve at least fifty years, if you make sure that the tree does not rot. In modern construction, a house built of wood is built from rounded logs from a simple beam or glued beams. All people are well aware that the biological enemies of such structures are gradually destroying the house.

Previously, wooden houses were impregnated with oil or saline, and some were even tarred. In order for the house to be protected from fungus, dampness and mold, certain measures must be taken. First you need to use a high base. If such events are carried out, the following distance from the ground to the first beam should be at least three meters. Roof drains must be working, steep slopes. There must be a free space between the outer skin and the walls. There must be good ventilation of structures, good air exchange. And with all this, there must be high-quality thermal insulation.
