Anthem hardwood tile Bashny.Net

From various methods of finishing wood roof and walls of what inspires me most is the shingles.
Holzschindeln (it.) wooden shingle (similar to roof shingles) is a natural roofing and facade material used for roofing and wooden cladding of facades of natural wood material. The production shingle is made from selected hardwood timber: Siberian larch, oak, red cedar.



For the manufacture of shingle uses only Mature wood with high density of annual rings, the minimum number of knots and other defects. With this purpose, conducted a painstaking selection of the logs. Usually the diameter of these logs varies from 36 to 80 cm Then the logs are cut into hemp (blanks). Of papillae (blanks) by the method of hand chopping, splitting them, it turns out the plate from which further happens the end result is wooden tiles (shingles, chipped shingles, shingles).

Shingle is a small plates, chipped from the wood decks without compromising the integrity of the wood structure and capillaries. How to split a tree stump on the boards can identify the master with great experience. In the manufacture of wooden shingles it is very important the location of annual rings. Qualitatively made plank, the annual rings should be placed at an angle of 30 degrees.

One of the last amazing examples of not only shingles for the roof, but the facade of the Biological Museum in Stockholm in the Park djurgården. It was built in 1893 by architect AGI Lindegren as a copy of Norwegian medieval Church. The wooden building itself, sheathed from head to toe with shingles like scales of a giant fish, carries away so that the exposure the natural resources of Scandinavia departs on the second plan.
For protection against external influences plate wooden shingles are filled with resin likeness of the ship. Near there is the characteristic smell of tar and there is the image of the Viking dragon boat, so that it is not know, it touches the hand, the wall of the house or the ship. published
