Construction of houses from a bar in a bowl. Profiled timber with cups: handmade or factory? Log house lock from a bar in a warm corner

We produce exclusively kits from profiled timber with cutting to the project, completely ready for assembly. The full production cycle of the house kit includes not only beam profiling, but, most importantly, cutting elements and bowls in production strictly in accordance with the project.

Our production is located in the Yaroslavl region. The Makron line (Finland), designed for profiling timber, cutting bowls on four sides, slotting openings with high accuracy, has been operating since 2001. Production capacity - up to 400 m3 of profiled timber, cut for the project, per month. We produce profiled timber with a width of 120mm to 190mm, profile - Finnish, cutting bowls on four sides.

The cost of profiled timber with cutting according to the project is 12500 per 1 m3. You can buy a house from profiled timber by contacting our company. Projects of houses from profiled timber are placed in our catalog.

Parameters of the produced profile.

It is possible to manufacture in a different profile, sectional section, as well as from the Customer's material.

Note. We can make a house in a mixed section: the outer walls are made of timber 190mm wide, the inner walls are 140mm wide. Under this, a technology has been developed for cutting bowls under a bar of different sections in one wall. But keep in mind that this is not appropriate for all projects.

Log cabin from profiled timber - price

You can order and buy a log house made of profiled timber, made according to any project. The price of a house kit depends on the cross section of the timber and on the selected project. To clarify the cost, you can contact us in any way convenient for you.

It is possible to manufacture a set of houses from profiled timber according to your individual project.

Profiled timber is becoming increasingly popular. The configuration of its profile protects the walls from deformation during the shrinkage process and reduces construction time. In order to minimize the influence of the human factor during the assembly process, they use a ready-made constructor for a quality house - a profiled beam with cups.

For designed buildings, cutting cups in a beam is an important stage at which a castle design with a windproof labyrinth is created. There is one-, two- and four-sided locking groove. To build a house, 2 technologies are used: assembling a ready-made kit - it provides for the factory production of cups and cutting the cups directly at the site of the construction of the house.

Factory production

Cutting cups is carried out for the production of sets of finished buildings: houses, baths, arbors. The set, which is obtained as a result of processing and cutting the timber strictly according to the developed project, is assembled quite quickly on site.

This is due to the high accuracy of woodworking equipment and the developed drawings. After assembly, they get a house with perfectly even and warm walls, which are not blown and do not need additional finishing.

GOST 30974-2002 provides for a maximum deviation in the size of a milled beam of no more than 1.5 mm in width. It is difficult to obtain such accuracy without the use of automatic equipment. It takes about 1 minute to cut four cups.

Additional machining - milling - increases the cost finished products. On average, this is about 2500 rubles. per cube m. Therefore, some owners, trying to save money, plan to cut the cups on the spot.

Cutting bowls in the process of building a house

The industry offers manual mobile cup cutting machines. Such designs can be used in small production capacity. Chainsaws are also widely used.

It takes 8-10 minutes to cut the bowls. As a result, assembling a house from profiled timber without cut cups requires several times more time than when using ready-made kits.

The quality of the assembled structure depends entirely on the qualifications of the craftsmen. This is exactly the factor that is leveled by the purchase of finished products that do not require significant fitting operations.

The cost of cutting cups

The price of finished products is affected by the moisture content of the material and its type (solid or glued beams). It should also be noted that products of chamber drying are more expensive than profiled timber of natural moisture. But dry material has two advantages: the formation of fewer cracks and the possibility of building a home decoration within one season.

The price for cutting bowls on glued material with a moisture content of less than 15% is 3000 ... 4000 rubles. per cube m. Data for an array of timber are given in the table.

At the end of the article

The use of profiled timber with ready-made cups allows you to speed up the construction process and guarantee a high quality result. But for these benefits you need to pay an additional price: about 2500 rubles. per cube m. Otherwise - when cutting cups on the spot - the result depends entirely on the qualifications of the builders.

Before starting construction, there is a difficult choice: which beam assembly is preferable? What you want to see in the final result plays a big role. Therefore, it is worth considering what these two methods are, and decide what you should focus on.

Corner "into the bowl"

The corners into the bowl are usually protrusions from the main contour of the log house by 30-50 cm. A longitudinal recess is made in each log, in the corners it is made larger, in the form across the lying log. They form a crosshair and are interconnected in the lock knot. If there is a choice between two methods, it is worth drawing an analogy and talking about the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

Advantages of the angle "in the bowl":

· This method is often chosen for aesthetic reasons, it looks attractive, embossed, in Russian traditions.

· Thanks to the labyrinth lock in the bowl, such a log house holds heat well inside and does not let cold outside.

· The cost of erecting a bar in this way will be less than a “warm corner”, due to simple technology. But the volume of the timber is needed more, therefore, the amount for the materials will increase.

Disadvantages of the angle "into the bowl":

Sufficiently large consumption of materials. The ledges in the corners take about 30-50 cm for each log, and this significantly increases the cost of construction.

Any beam has residual moisture, and after drying, cracks may form at the joints (in the corners) if the recess was calculated incorrectly or non-professionals worked.

· In the case of the "bowl" there is no further possibility of warming the house from the outside, as with other log cabins.

Log cabin in a "warm corner"

The connection of the beam into a "warm corner" is considered the most heat-insulating and dense of all log house options. In order to achieve the most dense docking, a groove is made on one of the joined bars, and a spike of the appropriate shape on the other. As a result of this installation, an almost hermetic docking is obtained.

Advantages of the "warm corner":

Installation in this case will be carried out without any additional fasteners. This will ensure that there are no metal parts that form cold bridges.

· At correct work masters docking spikes and grooves is very tight and reliable.

· Due to the tight joint, the possibility of a cold draft from the street is excluded, so it will be warm and comfortable in such a house.

· A log house with a “warm corner” is flat on all sides, so in the future there is the possibility of sheathing the house from the outside, if necessary.

Disadvantages of a "warm corner":

· This technology is more difficult to install than the “bowl”, therefore the cost of the work will be higher, as the qualification of specialists is higher.

· If you turn to unskilled craftsmen, there is a high probability of cracks on the beam due to improper manufacture of the spike. The technology of erecting a "warm corner" is not easy to implement.

"Bowl" or "warm corner"?

Having decided on all the pros and cons of the two technologies, the choice does not become easier in terms of price. If for the log house in the "bowl" you need more timber, which will come out much more expensive in the final cost, then for the “warm corner” specialists are needed whose work is valued above others. That is, in the "bowl":

· More expensive materials;

· Cheaper installation services.

For the "warm corner":

· Cheaper materials;

· Expensive installation.

Here, the choice is more likely only in appearance and in what the developer wants to see as a result. The “chalice” looks embossed, in the old Russian traditions, and many people like this representation at home. "Warm corner" has smooth walls, and at will they can be insulated from the outside or sheathed with vinyl, metal siding, facade panels and etc.

- this is a log house with releases, when the logs go beyond the log frame by 30-50 cm. The place where the logs meet in the log house is called the "lock", where they are fastened together by cutting in the log, made in a special way. The lock was cut in the form of a semicircle, according to the shape and size of the log that will fit into this groove, resembling drinking dishes in configuration, therefore, in the everyday life of carpenters, such an angular connection has been called “into a bowl” since time immemorial.

A log house without outlets is a log house where the corners of the house are even, without protrusions beyond the contour of the building and have special form in the form of a trapezoid or dovetail. The carpenter's term "the corner of the log house in the paw" also goes back deep into antiquity, when Russian architects cut huts, wooden estates and towers with only one ax, erecting real works of wooden architecture.


There is nothing in common with a real bowl in a timber castle, it is of direct shape, because. the beam itself has the correct geometric shape, unlike a semicircular log. Houses from a bar into a bowl are of industrial production, the so-called. "constructors" and manual, when a team of experienced carpenters at the construction site erects a log house from a bar and manually makes a cut into the bowl in each bar.

A log house from a bar “into a warm corner” is built “without a trace”, when the lock on the corners is cut out in a way, in the terminology of carpenters, referred to as “half-dovetail”.

2. Profiled timber with industrial production cups


Mechanical bowl sawing has its pros and cons.

In production, the lock "with the remainder" is made on a special milling machine. In the design of the machine there are plates with cutters, which have sharp edges, rotating, they cut out recesses in the wood of the desired shape and configuration. The cutters are removable, after sharpening they are returned to their place. The plates are mounted in a special movable frame that adjusts the length and width in the bowl lock being made. The cutter blades are raised and lowered to create the required depth of cut in the timber. The level of complexity of the lock, which can be performed mechanically in production, depends on the model of the machine and the milling plates.


The main advantage of the production of profiled timber with cups is its speed. Mechanical work of special milling machine allows for the minimum time to produce the maximum amount of finished lumber building material.

Theoretically, the manufacture of a profiled lock into a cup on a machine should occur with maximum accuracy, in fact, this is not always the case. Building materials do not always turn out to be perfect, sometimes they have to be “brought to mind” on the spot manually.

The most complex configuration of the bowl is considered to be the connection to the “labyrinth lock”, when the cups cut from all sides are offset on both sides. With this arrangement of the lock in the timber, it is considered impossible for air to enter from the outside.

In the manufacture of a “labyrinth lock” on a milling lock, inaccuracies sometimes occur, gaps in the mechanical method of manufacturing this most complex type of lock happen up to 1-1.5 cm, which does not happen to experienced carpenters who make this type of lock manually.

3. Profiled timber with handmade cups

Individual work with a cupped profiled log house, when carpenters manually build a specific object, can be compared to the work of a fashion designer. Production of profiled timber with a cup industrial way can be equated with ready-to-wear work, i.e. consumer goods of mass production.

When assembling a house from a profiled beam into a cup from a production designer, carpenters of medium qualification most often work, who do not have complex manual skills.

Many manufacturers do not undertake to make log cabins with it because of the complexity of manufacturing bay window corner joints on the machine and offer their customers wireframe view this architectural element in a wooden house.

Experienced carpenters can manually cut a bay window from a bar with a special corner joint in it.


The Chukhlomskaya Usadba company builds constructor houses with profiled beams in a cup. But our special pride is the carpenters, the descendants of the architects who built, and in Russia back in the century before last. Our carpenters own the secrets of their craft, which were passed on from generation to generation by their great-grandfathers, grandfathers and fathers. They know how to build not only houses from profiled timber with cups, but also cut log cabins from a single log, which is considered highest qualification carpenter.

Therefore, if you want to build a house from a profiled beam with cups, contact the company "Chukhloma estate", we will build you a house even from a designer, even manual felling"haute couture" on an individual project.

Assembling a house into a bowl is very popular with our compatriots. This can be easily explained, the fact is that such buildings are distinguished by their environmental friendliness, good thermal properties and a long service life. But in order for them to be endowed with these advantages, you need to use the services of experienced professionals. The Dom iz Elya company has been assembling log house into the bowl, during this time our specialists have finalized the construction process from profiled timber to the ideal.

Connection types

The connection of the timber by this method, depending on the shape of the bowl, may differ. There are the following locks:

  • Unilateral. This method of making a bowl is considered to be inefficient and the simplest corner connection. The bowl itself has a base in the form of a rectangle and is performed only on one side.
  • Bilateral. The bowl is made at the points of corner joints, its depth is made equal to a quarter of the beam. To perform this work requires a master with a high level of skill. The corners of the log house with double-sided bowls have the same drawback as the previous view - they are blown through.
  • Quadrilateral. This is the most perfect assembly of a house from a bar into a bowl, because it is characterized by insignificant heat losses through corner joints. It differs by cutting a groove on all sides, quite often there is a labyrinth-type lock (windproof), which has an alternation of bowl parameters.

Assembling a house into a bowl allows you to create country houses in short time. If you use the services of Dom iz Eli, you can be sure of the quality of the work performed. All construction services are guaranteed.

Coniferous trees, such as spruce or pine, are used as material for the log house. It is very important when buying material to choose straight, even and not damp logs. If the wood is too damp, then when it dries, it will deform and cracks, gaps between crowns, etc. will appear.

Before starting work, the logs are prepared - the bark is removed from them, then the log is sawn from four sides and the resulting beam is directly profiled. For fastening the elements of the log house are used wooden dowels, as well as metal studs and nails.
