Safe electrical work in wooden houses.

A wooden house is a symbol of comfort and prosperity. But its weakest point, along with the fact that the house is made of living material, is its high flammability. Because of this, carrying out electrical work in such a house requires great responsibility, the use of non-combustible materials, and knowledge of the specifics of the work.

Also, these works involve certain features compared to work in houses made of mineral materials.

Features of electrical work in wooden houses:

  • Electrical work in frame houses, where changing the electrical configuration may require flexible solutions, because the wiring in these houses is laid in the space between the insulation and the interior wall finishing materials (drywall, wood paneling);
  • Electrical work in houses made of rounded and profiled timber, which have their own features: shrinkage of crowns, vertical expansion of walls, which also requires a certain flexibility during repair, accounting for expansion gaps, etc.;
  • Laying cables in special boxes and pipes, and mounting socket boxes made of special materials.
