Frame houses cannot be sewn up with OSB. The best material for cladding a frame house outside

Many people cannot choose from what material to build a house. What is cheaper frame or timber house? Let's take a look at this issue. Let's talk more about the material for wall cladding. Which is better and more profitable: OSB, DSP, or is there another option?

If you take a calculator and calculate the construction of a frame or timber house, then the final calculation will not be unambiguous. It all depends on the type of building materials. What material is chosen for insulation, cladding, etc.

The advantage of the frame is that the construction is much faster. For 3 months a finished house with an area of ​​150 sq.m. It is always comfortable and dry in the frame. Warm in winter and cool in summer. The main plus of the frame is low heating costs, with the correct installation of windows, doors, etc.

A lightweight construction does not need to make a strong concrete base. The pile-screw foundation is perfect. Choose a blade thickness of at least 6 mm for screw piles. Piles can be made at a maximum distance (3 m) from each other. Glass or stone wool in slabs is used as a heater. The thickness of the insulation is chosen based on climatic conditions.

In a frame house, it is important to use supply and exhaust systems in order to maintain an optimal level of humidity and oxygen in the air.

What is the best way to sheathe a frame house?

1. OSB the most popular option. The moisture resistant material has several advantages: quick and easy installation. But almost no one thinks that the material is not environmentally friendly. For gluing and impregnating the boards, harmful substances (formaldehyde) are used. Due to the increased temperature, ultraviolet radiation, moisture, formaldehyde (gas with a pungent odor) is released.

Builders do not recommend this material for another reason. OSB is like a film (does not allow air and moisture to pass through).

2. There is another solution - continuous lining of the frame inch board. The skin is 3 times thicker. It will be cheaper and there will be no problems with steam. Plus eco-friendly material. But there are also disadvantages: it will take 4 times more time, and there are no boards ideal in terms of thickness.

Some people fill the boards at the corners, but with a gap, a step (30 cm) between the boards. It will be even cheaper. But the strength and solidity of such a skin is in great doubt.

3. DSP. This material has become more and more popular lately. It can be used for cladding or sheathing. Then you can immediately paint the material. Average price, heavy slabs, material fragility.

4. Fiber plate. Environmental material (improved wood).

Consists of wool, Portland cement and other additives. The service life is comparable to materials such as reinforced concrete, steel, etc. No knots, no cracks, fireproof and strong. Sheathing of a frame 10x8 m. (3 floors + attic) will cost 250 thousand. rub. The cost of slabs for such a house is 89,000 rubles. with delivery. The rest is work, materials.
