Building materials: what determines the choice of

The development of the construction industry significantly increased the possibility of private traders in the choice of the best material and technology for your home. Today really embody the most bold and costly fantasy or, on the contrary, to keep within a budget and tight timelines, received quite a decent result. The main thing to understand what constitutes one or other technology, and what will encounter in the future, and may not confer desired or rejected embodiment mythical properties. Consider why participants choose FORUMOUSE wood, stone, frame or monolithic houses, and how dreams coincide with reality.

Wooden houses

There are different variations on the theme, but suspended all wooden house can be divided into two categories:

• Chopped.
• Lumber.

There are so-called houses of the tongue collected from the board to mount on the tongue and groove, but it is an option for seasonal cottages or huts, but not for permanent structures, so it will not be considered.

Log houses built of solid timber treated (Round or carriage) of certain types of wood, after the assembly frame must be to stand. Neutral bar - a core cut from the logs of natural humidity, with smooth sides. In complex shaped timber section glulam team - slats are cut, assembled on tongue and groove and glued.

The thickness of the log and lumber walls is chosen because of the particular conditions based on teplorascheta. If speech of a log, then it has a value of diameter and the width of the fixing groove.

The popularity of wooden houses is mainly due to the ability of the material to "breathe" in such houses a special microclimate, even without ventilation. With regard to the feasibility study - you can get a lightweight foundation with properly chosen thickness does not require additional insulation and soundproofing. In addition, both the facade and the interior is ready, reducing finishing costs. However, the style - on the fan, if over the years, tastes change, yet have to spend on optimization.

Another advantage - the assembly at any time of the year.

In terms of environmental situation is twofold: on the one hand, the tree is absolutely natural, on the other hand, after impregnation all protective and decorative compositions, even the most forgiving chemistry it added.

Portal members noted that breathe and sleep in wooden houses nice, but due to the specifics they need regular maintenance material. Built and forgotten - is the next ten years are unlikely to succeed, especially when talking about the wooden house.

George Ulanov (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I have a wooden frame, however small, 6 × 7 m, on its own to look hard for them. Konopatka, impregnated, covered with protective means and so on. Then log cabin sits, rassyhaetsya, cracks and so on. The fact that health - certainly better than wood. A care and costs, both financial and physical, even more than in the homes of other materials.

However, craftsmen are ready for difficulties.

Sultan (Member FORUMHOUSE):

For four years added onto your wooden house, the remaining problems: the need perekonopatka okosyachki windows and painting. The house must be painted every few years, he shrinks (especially in the early years), it should be considered during the construction. But the wooden house not so picky about the quality of the foundation, has a terrific scent and aura. In a wooden house, you can safely lean against the wall and do not freeze even if a long time to sit. Overlapping miss the sound, but it is possible to hammer in nails and screwed fittings. Well, if not for the stone house to look after, he probably will stay longer than wood. Wood also requires constant care, otherwise it will eat beetles or rot. But still, I am for a wooden house, with him, and a little more of a hassle, but only slightly.

In addition to environmental friendliness, efficiency and aesthetic preferences, wooden houses chosen for another reason.

avsergeev71 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

The wooden house is more suitable for seasonal residence. In contrast to the stone, it can be left without any heating without any damage. True for those who use the house as a summer residence.

stone houses

This category includes homes built of brick, large format ceramic blocks or porous ceramics, as well as on the basis of concrete blocks (aerated concrete, foamed concrete, expanded clay concrete, cinder blocks and etc.). The DSP used for laying special glue or, in the second case, the weld thickness is minimal.

Ceramic brick is considered one of the most reliable and durable materials, but in the usual format it loses considerably large format blocks warm ceramics and on Gazoblok thermal efficiency.

Today, rarely erect uniform brick walls, usually or well masonry with insulation or facing brick load-bearing wall of another material.

Aerated concrete and its variations outperform bricks for thermal efficiency, depending on the brand are quite capable compete in terms of durability and frost resistance, but it is much more demanding to the ground and can not boast of a century history. In any case, the stone house is much more demanding to the foundation, which entails an increase in the estimates, and the walls have to be plastered, at least, from the inside, and even outside, which is also not free. However, concrete and its variations - one of the most demanded materials in private construction.

Bobahina (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Like anyone, beginner myself, long determined to build a housechoice of material. Standard criteria were: environmental friendliness, good heat resistance, availability. To it was added to my private - you need to build a house quickly, to make the minimum finish and call to live. By process of elimination remained lightweight concrete: aerated concrete and aerated concrete. Promonitorit market, focused on the more expensive concrete, in the hope of reputable manufacturers and decent quality.

Choosing a brick, as "eternal" material for the house, which is also great-grandchildren will grow up (subject to construction technology), do not forget about energy efficiency.

alexeburg (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Build the outer walls of brick, and the inner bearing, interior partitions, if there are chimneys - from a corpulent. Banjo will not miss the heat from the house to the street, full-bodied will collect and radiate heat in the house, and a good sound insulator. Better bricks can only be a brick.

Frame houses

The frame houses the load does not rest on the walling, and on the frame of wood or metal (skeleton framework). If you talk about the panel and frame (frame-and-shield) homes, the self-supporting panel. Wooden frame is assembled from rod or thick planks, is thick on metal profile, As the insulation is usually mineral wool, other than the structurally insulated panels, which PPP is used. In recent years the popularity of frame structures has increased dramatically, due to their efficiency and speed of assembly.

However, it should be borne in mind that the frame technology more demanding of the quality of the materials, whether wood, metal or CIP, and attempt to save will result in a totally operational deterioration characteristics.

FRAMING power and heat engineering parameters walling must be carefully calculate the maximum, not to mention the mandatory use in the "pie" of protective membranes.

Of course, to the monumental stone or brutality wooden houses carcass away, but when assembled with quality materials and in compliance with the technology, they will last more than one decade. Karkasniki chosen not only because of the availability and efficient construction, but also because of the high heat-saving parameters. At current energy prices this is a weighty argument.

bulat (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Why frame? In a word, it is - practicality, brick, concrete, wood and other solid obtained remarkable house, but a wooden frame will always be cheaper and still have more than enough strength and durability. What is important to create an energy-efficient brick house is always easier and cheaper than energy-efficient house made of bricks, concrete or solid.

solid houses

Monolithic house erected in two ways.

removable formwork - reinforcing cage collected inside of waterproof plywood formwork, another slab or board material and filled with concrete. Filling is carried out around the perimeter or in fragments, after setting formwork solution moves.

Walls made of conventional concrete, a smooth but cold and in need of additional insulation.

If we are on the aerated concrete, he has minimal thermal conductivity, and really do just decorative layer on the front, but it is necessary to pour concrete pillars, as the bearing capacity of the foam concrete mass enough.

Fixed timbering - reinforcing cage is placed in the formwork of a thermally insulating material, usually PPP internal portion may be of plate materials on the basis of cement and wood industry waste. Turns outside the insulation layer, ready for finishing plaster or ventilated facade and insulation within or that many people are not satisfied, or a further natural finish lining.

The efficiency of the "cold" monolith tested by thousands of high-rise buildings, in the private sphere, its performance is not worse than, again, with the right performance and high-quality materials. As for permanent formwork, then all around it is strewn with broken spears supporters and opponents of the method. Some strongly opposed and trying not to gather others build and are quite happy with the result. What you can not argue with is the strength and durability of the monolith, which often determines the choice.

Aleksey17321 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Monolith has a monolith, no house can boast of such a fortress, if you add decent insulation outside (need to warm almost any house, except for those who have a wall about a meter), ventilation (in any home), no problems will be even grandchildren live will.

Wood, brick or concrete, brick or monolithic, the house can be any, depending on the financial capabilities and preferences of the owner. The main thing - the use of quality materials and compliance with the construction technology and the lack of experience is compensated very well "smoking» FORUMHOUSE.

Features frame technology - the material "Tree or LSTC" from which to build a wooden house - in an article about features the choice of material. On the boundless possibilities of the presence of desire - "Stone house in a helmet ..." of building materials, which is difficult to do curve seam - "Ash concrete ...". In the video - on the choice of wall materials for the thermal efficiency of the house.
