Oh well, that's easy enough if you're in 10th grade right now. If at 11 - woke up a bit late, of course, but there is still a chance and quite a big one.
First you need to set yourself a goal in terms of points and steadfastly go towards it. My goal was 100, I started from the very beginning of the 11th grade. I had very little luggage, mainly formed on the basis of the course of Russian literature of the 19th century and the work of Karamzin in the retelling of my father-historian. So you should sit down and clearly assess what you can hope for. I was preparing together with a friend who was an applicant for a provincial law school, who did not try very hard, but he just had to overcome the threshold of 50 points, which he successfully did.
The best textbook for passing the exam is the Moscow State University textbook on the history of Orlov and Georgiev. It can be bought almost everywhere, it is very convenient. On it we learn "theory".
Then you need to buy supplies. I took the usual ones from FIPI, plus a separate allowance for complex tasks. Take a book with KIMs and solve them, write part C completely in a specially wound notebook. It is desirable - to find a teacher who can check them. Or by keys. Solve as many tests as possible and get your hands on it.
Learn the codifier. Or at least read it carefully. You must know how each task is done. What points are given and taken away. I highly recommend that you find materials for teachers who check the exam on the Fipi website - there are samples of assignments completed for medium and high scores (part C).
Buy manuals with pictures and maps. Most often, Slavic tribes, major battles and uprisings are asked on the cards. It is highly desirable to know what each ruler of Russia looks like (I am not talking about Rurik and Svyatoslav, but it is necessary to distinguish Khrushchev from Andropov and Chernenko).
Maintain tables. From the largest battles of the Second World War to the reforms of Alexander I. If convenient, take notes. I didn’t lead and just circled the right places in the textbook, because it’s easier for me.
If you want a good score, don't skimp on culture. A lot of people are cut off on it, especially those who are not preparing for the exam in literature. Feofan Grek, Andrei Rublev, Falcone, Ton, Feofan Prokopovich and others, others, others. Learn famous churches, buildings, paintings, artists. There is a lot(!!!) of everything here. Don't forget the culture of the 80s and 90s. Including TV shows.
Hang above the table excerpts from the most disliked and difficult topics. For me, all sorts of officials of the USSR were like that (this question is very popular at the Unified State Examination) and the Pugachev uprising, I don’t even know why.
Be prepared to study one topic 8, 9, 10 times. History is forgotten terribly quickly, because there is a lot of information. I advise you to start with the most ancient and end with Putin, it is also desirable to learn it, you never know what they will come up with.
Find a friend and get ready together. It's fun, interesting, especially if a friend knows much more than you.
And do not express your opinion so clearly. If Brezhnev personally offended your grandmother very much at one time, do not write nasty things about him in part C, even if it seems to you that you are absolutely right. Be absolutely neutral.
I myself passed on 93, and the points were taken off in part C, and, as it seemed to me, it was completely unfair. The appeal was supposed to take place 300 kilometers from my city on the day of my high school graduation, and my mother did not let me go. So it goes.
At the DWI in History at Moscow State University (Faculty of History), I scored 95, if anything.
When choosing a future profession, the question arises about the place of further study. To get in the best university country and to the most demanded faculty is possible only by obtaining an assessment close to 100 points in all the required USE. If the chosen specialty requires historical knowledge, you should find out how best and more efficiently to prepare for the exam in history in order to earn the highest possible points.
USE 2018 in history
History in 2018 is an optional exam. The right to choose is given to the student himself, and depends on the university and the direction of specialization where it is decided to enter.
Those who pass history open the way to the top universities of the country in the most diverse areas
What tasks are included in the exam
You can get acquainted with the demo version of the USE 2018 in history on the official website www.fipi.ru/. The exam consists of 2 parts, it includes 25 tasks.
The 1st part covers 19 tasks testing the basic level of knowledge. Almost all offer multiple answers. It is required to correctly enter the desired number in the allotted cells.
Part 2 consists of 6 tasks of increased complexity.
- Tasks 20 to 22 are performed on the basis of the USE text document excerpt. They test not only knowledge of history, but also the ability to analyze and systematize the proposed documentary source.
- Questions 23 and 24 are reasoned mini-essays of reasoning in which you need to bring at least 2 facts to prove your thoughts based on the given historical material. Otherwise, points will be reduced.
- Task 25 - a real essay on one of the proposed historical time periods. The task is the most capacious in terms of points (11 points), but also the most difficult.
Preparing for the exam in history in a month is almost impossible due to the huge amount of information
Examples
Convenient in preparing for the exam is the site https://hist-ege.sdamgia.ru/. It has the opportunity to pass the entire test and find out the points awarded, or you can select a separate topic and work out the proposed tasks on it. All options are updated monthly. There is also a timer that records the time spent on answers.
A few examples of proposed assignments.
Task 1. It is necessary to correctly arrange 3 events in chronology:
- The murder of Prince Igor.
- Founding of Novgorod.
- Formation of the empire of Charlemagne.
Not only historical knowledge related to Russia is required, but also basic information on world history. A 1-point event occurred in 945, a 2-point event in 862, and a 3-point event in 800. The answer to task 1 should look like this: 321.
Task 2. It is required to establish a correspondence between events and dates:
When performing this task, you should find events that are 100% known. For example, the baptism of Russia (988) and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War (1941). Further, from the remaining dates, you need to remove those that do not exactly fit: 2013 and 1054. 1564 and 1648 remain. The reign of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov is known for several riots, among which was the salt one. It should correspond to 1648. Answer: A-5, B-3, C-6, D-2.
Task 9. Indicate the correspondence of terms and rulers, in whose time they appeared.
Answer: A-3, B-1, C-2, C-5.
Task 25. It is proposed to write an essay, choosing one of the periods: 1425–1505, 1762–1796, 1941–1943. At least 2 personalities of this period and 2 events should be indicated.
When choosing the period 1941-1943, it is known that the Great Patriotic War famous for a large number of military leaders: G.K. Zhukov, K.K. Rokossovsky, L.A. Govorov. Stalin I.V. was the commander-in-chief. The most famous battles and events in the initial period of the war: the battle for Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, the defense of Leningrad, the defense of Sevastopol.
Which majors will require an exam?

- hotel business.
How to quickly and effectively prepare for the exam in history
Gain in-depth knowledge of Russian history in a short period of time is not possible. In addition, the USE contains tasks that require basic knowledge of world history. Due to the large volume, preparation for the history exam should be done in advance, from the 10th grade. For 2 years, you can work out the material in depth, which covers not only the knowledge of dates, events and figures, but also the ability to work with maps, analyze historical documents.
If you decide to take history, it is better to start preparing for the exam at least a year in advance
Study the subject yourself or contact a tutor? This issue is decided by each individually. It should be taken into account that no tutor will be able to put a large number of dates and events into his head. This will have to be drilled on your own. good tutor will be able to direct and organize the preparation process, tell about the intricacies and criteria for evaluating assignments.
For several months
When preparing for history in a few months, it will be more difficult to master all the historical material in depth.
- It is recommended to practice the subject every day. Don't jump on history one day and then forget about it for a week.
- Lessons should be divided into several parts. In part 1, study the theory. The educational material is not just to read, but to draw up a plan or summary based on the information that was gleaned from the topic being studied. Take a short break to better assimilate the material. Then, in part 2, solve tests on the theory you read, of which there are a large number on the Internet. This will help you understand and reinforce the topic.
- Based on the material worked out, it is recommended to study all the maps available in the textbooks, view illustrations and posters related to the period under consideration.
- Resting, do not relax. You need to usefully spend your free time watching documentaries on historical topics.
When studying topics, one should build them in the correct chronological sequence, without tearing out separate pieces of material. Then the cause-and-effect relationships of all subsequent events will be clear.
For 1 month
The less time left before the exam, the less material the examinee will be able to learn. In a month, you can only superficially study the main points of history. An in-depth knowledge of the subject in such a short period is impossible to obtain.
In task 25, usually 3 options for historical periods are offered. As practice shows, the 20th century is necessarily present in them. It is worth paying more attention to the study of materials on this time: the characteristics of historical figures, their reforms, events. There will not be enough time for a detailed study of other periods.
It is impossible to independently study and systematize all historical material in a month. You can resort to the services of professionals. A number of universities offer express preparation for the USE. You should choose educational institution in which history is a core subject.
For 1-2 weeks
It is impossible to prepare a few weeks before any exam. In such a short time, you can only go through all the material again, refreshing it in your memory. Even if the student has a unique memory for a week, you can only memorize the dates and names of the main personalities. But there will hardly be time left to study historical documents, reforms, maps and illustrations, to study in depth any historical period in order to write an essay. It is not worth counting on a high score with this approach to the subject.
How to properly manage your exam time
3 hours 55 minutes are given to complete all tasks in history. In order to have time to complete time-consuming tasks, it is necessary to correctly allocate examination time. For each question from the 1st part, you should not spend more than 3-5 minutes. If in doubt, it is best to move on to the next questions. After completing all the tasks of the 1st part, you should return to the questions left unanswered and try to consider them again.
You can take 10-15 minutes to complete the tasks of the 2nd part. The time should be allocated in such a way that there is a free hour for the essay on task 25.
Some students try to start with the 2nd part, being carried away by writing an essay. It is difficult to control the time in the exam, so this approach can lead to the fact that there is no time left for the rest of the tasks. In addition, starting with complex tasks, you can panic when you find a lack of knowledge on the proposed tasks. It is recommended to move from simple to complex. This will help you better tune in to more complex issues.
Choosing a specialty for which you need USE results history, you need to properly organize the preparation. It is required to rationally allocate time between studying theory, doing tests, getting acquainted with historical maps and illustrations. At least 2 hours a day should be allocated for preparation. It is recommended to study topics in chronological order. Starting to consider the next period, constantly refer to the materials already covered, consolidating them. It is quite possible to prepare for the exam on your own. A good tutor can only give the right direction, explain the subtleties of the design of the 2nd part of the tasks.
Hello, dear readers of the site site, applicants, teachers and, probably, parents! All of you, of course, are rooting for applicants to pass the Unified State Exam with 100 points and enter prestigious universities. This desire is understandable. However, its execution depends on the quality of the training itself.
In the last post, when we analyzed Khrushchev's rule, I promised that I would post a post on this topic. Preparing for the exam in history is quite a serious task and should not be approached with disdain. In this article, I will just analyze the mistakes that 95% of all guys make, and also outline the paths that you follow to successfully prepare for history.
It is no secret that there is a lot of material on history, and learning it all is an extremely time-consuming task. How to do it right? Read on and find out!
Many students make unforgivable mistakes. Now I will list them, if you do this, stop doing it. So, we are preparing for the exam in history correctly!
Common Prep Mistakes
Mistake #1. Students simply read the history book, thinking that after reading, they will remember everything. When they read it, they are sure that they know the topic. Alas, this confidence is disproved by the very first screening test.
OUTPUT: Reading is not a quality memorization of the material!
Mistake #2. Students hope to be able to learn the material a week before the exam. As a result, they drag out the study of the material, then “wake up”, and realize that they do not have time for anything, since there is obviously a lot of material.
OUTPUT: never delay the study of the material, especially in history !!!
Mistake #3. Students read the textbook, try to remember all the dates and definitions - but it doesn’t work, because there are a lot of them.
OUTPUT: never try to learn everything thoroughly - this is impossible unless you have a photographic memory!
Mistake #4. Students begin to prepare for the exam in history 10 months before the exam and do it sequentially, studying topics in chronological order. As a result, they only have time to prepare for topics, but do not have time to solve tests, to develop the skill of solving them.
OUTPUT: if you started preparing for the exam in history in the 11th grade, then prepare not in chronological order.
Now I actually explain how exactly you need to prepare for the exam. There are two ways.
Way one
You have been preparing since 10th grade. In this case, it is necessary to prepare in chronological order, sequentially. That is, first Ancient Russia ... and so on. by periods. After studying each period, run tests immediately. How exactly to teach? Take a notebook with notes (school or one that is filled in during preparation with a tutor), take a normal allowance, and cards. Maps can be downloaded from the Internet. Also, have a blank sheet of paper and a pen ready.
Choose a topic. Read your notebook first to refresh your memory common material, then read THIS SAME TOPIC in a textbook, or manual, comparing what is new in the textbook and what is not in the notebook. In parallel, look at the map corresponding to this period. On a sheet of paper, write down the plan of the ORAL response to THIS topic. The plan should be complete, but the wording itself is short. The plan in terms of volume should not exceed the notebook sheet, however, it should be segmented into paragraphs and subparagraphs.
By doing this, you immediately hone at least three skills: the skill of working with texts, the skill of summarizing the material and writing it down in a new short form - a plan. Search skill new information in addition to what has already been learned. In addition, by making a plan for each topic studied, you get short answer plans for all topics of the course! In the future, to remember the material, it will be enough just to look at the plan! A history course worked out in this way will guarantee your quality preparation.
Instead of maps and books, it is better to use. After all, a visual presentation of the material is 5-10 times more effective.
Way two
You have been preparing since 11th grade. In this case, you do not have time for consistent study. Rather, there is. But in order to work on each topic with high quality, you will have to spend at least 3-4 hours a day! Indeed, in each topic there are personalities, wars, reforms, etc. Therefore, you are preparing in blocks. For example: block " Foreign policy. Interaction with the South. Here you are looking for all the wars that Russia waged with the East and South, starting with Ancient Russia and up to 1991. You disassemble these wars according to the plan: Prerequisites, Causes, Reason, Course of events, Results.
Write down the plan of each war in a separate notebook. Of course you use maps, manuals, the Internet. Next, take a topic, for example, "Serfdom", and look for all the material from 1497 to 1861. You make a plan on this topic extremely short in volume, but complete in content.
Of course, after each topic, you solve thematic tests. In doing so, you firstly create an outline for each topic, and secondly, study the entire topic in its entirety from beginning to end! Having studied all the topics in this way, you will not have to think about those periods that you did not have time to study! It's simply not possible with this approach!
Here, dear friends, we are preparing for the exam in history! Of course, you may think that this is unrealistic. But believe me, the main thing in preparing for the exam is not memorizing the material, but its systematization! See also this material on self-preparation for the exam ... And memorization occurs by itself after working through each topic on your own directly during the systematization!
Way three
For today however self-training doesn't work at all for several reasons. The main ones are the guys' illusions about their time, as well as the illusion that they just have an excellent memory, thanks to which they will remember everything in an instant.
In fact, when they begin to analyze topics, there is despondency, and sometimes nervous breakdowns - because there is really a lot of material.
So the third way proper preparation for the exam in history is associated with professional training, when a professional prepares you for the exam. I am such a pro, and since 2015 we have opened our training courses, in which the whole theory is laid out on the shelves, according to the USE Codifier.
Thanks to our courses, dozens of children have already passed exams for points above 90 (!) in this discipline and entered the university on a budget. Because in our courses we also build an individual strategy for entering the university. Nobody does this, only us!

Students in grades 10 and 11 are thinking about where they will go after graduation, what subjects they will need to take to enter a higher educational institution, and how best to prepare for the exam in history, mathematics, Russian language and physics.
Most of the students belong to the humanities, which means that, in addition to the Russian language, they pass social studies, literature and history. However, preparation for these subjects is no easier than an exam in physics or chemistry, so it is worth knowing a few important points to pass the exam successfully.
What are the features?
How to prepare for the exam in history? Every year the structure of assignments in various subjects, including history, changes, but the essence remains the same. For example, considering the features of the history exam in 2017, it is worth noting that it will consist of 2 parts and 25 tasks, where 19 questions need to be given a short answer, and 6 - a detailed one. All tasks have their own level of difficulty: from basic to high, each is assessed by points.
For a correct answer to a simple question, you can get 1 point (for example, for the first task), and for a complete, correct and detailed answer to the last questions of the list (for example, for task 25), you can get from 1 to 11 points, so it is important to understand how to prepare for the exam in history.
4 hours are allotted to complete the entire examination work, and the student needs to correctly allocate his time, spending from 1 to 7 minutes on simple questions, and up to 40-60 minutes on complex ones.
Features of preparation for the second part in history
Separately, it is worth noting that the second part of the history exam is more difficult and requires a detailed answer to the question. It will not be enough to know the exact date of the event, the student will be required to reason on different topics, so it is important to decide how to prepare for the exam in history.
For example, you need to analyze a specific event or problem. To do this, it is necessary to identify historical facts and phenomena, point to historical objects, draw a causal relationship, compare objects or processes, and draw a definite conclusion.
The second part of the exam requires a long and special preparation, a deep knowledge of history with the points of view of several experts and the expression of one's opinion.
How long do you need to prepare for the exam in history
The questions that come up on the exam can be very different, including topics that were covered in the 5th or 6th grade (for example, about Ancient Egypt, Greece or Rome). Therefore, you need to give yourself the installation that we are preparing for the exam in history from scratch, studying the most ancient worlds. It is recommended to start in the 10th grade in order to slowly work through all the issues: read the information, solve various tests, complete assignments.
Before starting the study, it is worth drawing up a work plan, creating a chronological table where important dates and events will be recorded, which may be a hint for repeating the material covered.
In the process of studying a certain period, it is recommended to look for information not only from the textbook. A good addition to gaining knowledge will be watching documentary film or listening to a report by a famous scientist.
If preparation for the exam begins only in the 11th grade, then it is more than likely that there will be no time left for an in-depth study of the subject. Then the material must be divided into large periods in which it is important to remember the main events, key persons, wars and reforms.
What are the ways to prepare
Each student knows that Someone is able to study independently and does not need extraneous control. Someone remembers the material better if they study with a tutor. Before you start preparing for the exam, decide how you feel comfortable studying the subject and what result you expect in the end. Some will suit minimum score, others need a high grade, for which it is better to prepare for the exam with a teacher.
In any case, you need to read, constantly solve tests, watch movies. You can work through the tasks of past years, which are publicly available on the Internet. This will help to understand their structure, determine your level of knowledge and evaluate your own training.
Preparing for the exam in history from scratch on our own
Independent learning requires some effort, faith in your knowledge and the ability to properly allocate time. Before you start studying the material, you need to understand how to prepare for the exam in history, stock up on textbooks, maps, tests, a notebook and a pen.
The next step is to determine how much time it will take to study a topic where it is important not only to read, but also to carefully analyze the information received, comparing it with a map of the time being studied, writing out important dates, names and events. Then you can take a test that will help consolidate knowledge.
You do not need to memorize all the dates in a row, because it is unrealistic to remember all of them. It is important to create a system by linking dates to periods of history and key personalities that figured at that time. Such associative memory will help to remember the material much more and more widely.
Using time management in preparation
Time management is the science of time management, which can be used both at work and in life, in particular, when preparing for exams. You can use different techniques, but they all come down to a few simple rules:
- If you have to analyze a large topic, then it is better to break it into several small ones, which will allow you to study it deeper and more thoughtfully.
- It is worth doing it “correctly”, measuring, for example, 30 minutes for mastering the material. Even if during this time it was not possible to study the entire topic, then you should definitely take a break for 5 minutes, and then, after a short rest, continue learning again.
- It is definitely recommended to create a working mood, for example, to settle in a place where the topic is best remembered. Not everyone can study while lying on the couch or listening to music. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a desktop where books, notebooks with pens and cards will lie.
Basic Mistakes
All students make certain mistakes in preparing for the exam, but they can be avoided if you approach the study of the subject correctly. Let this be the history of Russia. We prepare for the exam and do not make common mistakes.
You should not start preparing a week before the exam, even if you need to score the minimum number of points. When reading all the material in a few days, memory will retain little information.
If you just read the materials on history, without fixing them, then, most likely, most of them will be forgotten. Therefore, after studying the topic, you can take a test on the topic studied or ask friends or parents to ask specific questions, and you give detailed answers.
If you start preparing for the exam in advance, you should not study all day first, and then take a break for several days. Spend 2 hours every day, and the information will be easier to digest.
When building a multi-storey building, it is worth considering the entire project as a whole. Particular attention should be paid to the stairs, as some models of these products are best mounted as the house is built.
In this regard, a natural question arises: "Which ladder to choose?". Thanks to modern materials you can easily build a wooden, metal or concrete staircase of almost any shape. It is necessary to take into account not only the cost of the staircase itself, but also the cost of finishing it. Therefore, we will consider all the pros and cons of products from the most common materials, as well as the shape of the stairs.
Types of stairs
There are three main types of stairs that are built in country houses:
- Direct. This is the simplest and cheap option arrangement of stairs, regardless of what material it is made of. Free space is formed under the stairs, which can be left unchanged or filled with niches and cabinets for storing things. As a rule, the width of such a ladder does not exceed 1 meter. Also, a straight staircase allows you to build the most comfortable steps, optimal width(slightly longer than an adult foot).
- Marching. In this case, a straight zone appears between the two stairwells. Such structures are optimal for spacious rooms with high ceilings or if the house is supposed to have more than 2 floors. The staircase can be L-shaped or U-shaped.
- Screw. This is an option for small spaces.
All these stairs can be made of metal, concrete or wood.
metal stairs
Such stairs optimally fit into the design, which has forged fences, railings and more. But they also go well with wood, glass, stone. These are reliable, durable and very strong constructions. They are able to withstand heavy loads, and the installation of such products is carried out at any stage of construction or after its completion. The metal is fireproof, resistant to mold and fungus. In addition, these stairs are the cheapest.
But such designs also have disadvantages. For example, if we are talking about a metal staircase without any finish, then its steps will be very slippery. Therefore, these elements are recommended to be made of plastic or wood. And if you think that, unlike wooden structure it does not creak, then you are very mistaken.
Healthy! The longest are steel stairs coated with powder paint.
Firstly, if the metal is too thin, then the steps will bend a little under the weight of a person. Secondly, if the steps are metal, then each step will be accompanied by a hum. If insufficiently rigid fastening to the walls was made or welding failed, then the steps will creak more than any tree.
Initially, this option may seem cheaper. Concrete stairs really cost almost two times cheaper than wooden counterparts. But if you build such a structure, it will not look comfortable. So you have to think about finishing. Some even completely sheathe concrete with wood, which significantly increases the cost of the finished product.
If we talk about the pros, then it is worth highlighting:
- Long service life (up to 40 years). reinforced concrete able to handle huge loads.
Healthy! The service life largely depends on the climate in the region of residence, as well as on the frost resistance parameters of the selected concrete.
- Moisture does not affect concrete. This is a fire resistant material.
- Concrete structures are not interesting to rodents and insects.
- Fast production. Such structures are erected directly on site in 2-3 days.
Healthy! Despite the speed of manufacturing such a staircase, experts recommend pouring concrete simultaneously with the construction of an interfloor ceiling or the so-called box.
- No load on the wall structure. Moreover, we can say that the concrete staircase is an additional point of support.
- No squeak. Even if wood was used for decoration, there should not be such a disadvantage. A creak will only appear if the steps are too uneven.
- Variety of forms. Concrete is a very plastic material.
Healthy! If you build a wooden spiral staircase, you will have to install a central support post. In the manufacture of a concrete structure, this need is eliminated.
Concrete stairs are:
- Monolithic. In this case, they are poured in place and represent a single whole.
- National teams. You can order the ladder in parts and then install it in the right place.
But such designs also have disadvantages. For example,:
- Concrete stairs, due to their impressive weight, are only suitable for stone, monolithic, brick, precast-monolithic and other houses with a reinforced structure.
- If you sheathe the entire staircase with wood or “ennoble” it in marble or other stone, then its cost will be higher than its wooden counterpart.
Also for self erection it takes a lot of strength.
Features of the installation of concrete stairs
First you need to prepare the formwork. After that, reinforcement is installed and concrete is poured. The first stage is considered the most difficult, and if you are thinking more complex shape, then it will be easier to transfer the work to the master. Or you can make a straight single-march structure located between two walls. In this case, the side elements of the formwork are excluded, which greatly simplifies the work. To do this, simply draw the outline of the future stairs on the walls.
A little more difficult if the structure is adjacent to the wall on only one side. To do this, you will have to think over the end elements of the formwork. If you perform them incorrectly, then the whole structure will “go”.
Many believe that wood is significantly inferior to concrete and metal. But in fact, it all depends on the quality of the wood. For example, oak, beech and ash are very hard. Such stairs serve at least 50 years. And if the owner of the house periodically takes care of the stairs and processes, then this period can be doubled.
Healthy! Due to their low weight, wooden stairs are suitable not only for concrete, but also for frame and wooden houses.
It is also not entirely true that all wooden stairs creak. If the design is made using all technologies, then there will be no such shortcomings. By the way, the highest quality stairs are made in the workshop, and not on the spot. First, a drawing is developed (if the elements do not match at least a little, then sooner or later creaks and cracks will appear) and then the production process begins. On the one hand, this guarantees quality, and on the other hand, it brings us to the main disadvantages of such products.
Among them it is worth highlighting:
- Long production time. If the concrete staircase is ready in 2-3 days, then the production of a wooden structure will take at least 40 days, plus the time spent on delivery and installation.
- The possibility of installation only after the completion of capital construction and internal rough work. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the wood. In addition, it will be affected by dust, construction debris.
- Additional load on the walls. Although wood weighs less than concrete, it does not have its own support. In addition, in load-bearing walls you will have to install special embedded elements, which will reduce their strength characteristics.
- Fire hazard.
In addition, rodents and insects like to feast on the tree. If the room is poorly ventilated, then mold and fungus will start in it.
Features of the installation of wooden stairs
In short, it all starts with drawing up a detailed drawing. After that, steps are cut, which are connected to two bowstrings. On the next one, bars are installed, which these steps must support.
Although the tree does not need additional finishing, it is better to paint it. To do this, you must first level the surfaces. If necessary, a special putty for wood is used. When the putty layer dries, it is necessary to sand the surfaces well. This is done in two stages.
First, work is done with coarse sandpaper, then more delicate processing is performed. The smoother the surface, the better the whole staircase will look, so this step is given a lot of attention.
After that, the tree is impregnated with compounds that will help protect it from insects, fungus and mold. At the next stage, it is desirable to cover the surface of the stairs with a primer (selected in accordance with the final color).
