3 reasons why I gave up buying a frame house: honest review

Frame house building has always been controversial. This trend has not stopped even now. Good or bad frame house - there is still no convincing answer to this question. But you can listen to the opinions of people - it is always interesting and helps to look at the problem from a different angle. Our interlocutor Dmitry said that he was stopped from buying a frame.

I had a question about moving to another place of residence. The sum of a little more than three million rubles was on hand. For this money, I was offered a frame house, a townhouse and a duplex. I gave up the wireframe after several views and now I will explain why.

The house is shaking

I looked at ready-made houses from four manufacturers. The houses are all different, but they have one thing in common - they are somehow mobile. I myself weigh over 90 kilograms and entering this house, I feel how boards and logs are walking and creaking under me. Especially on the second floor. Interfloor ceilings of such houses are worthless. And also the vibration is felt when you close the door a little tighter.

In this I see a problem, since I lived in a wooden house for a long time. So, when the washing machine goes into spin mode there, the furniture shakes in all rooms. A house on screw piles is subject to vibration and shaking even more. I do not roll the barrel to all houses that use screw piles as a foundation. Claims only to those that are being built for sale with a pile pitch of 2.5-3 meters and logs from a 150th board. I don't want to pay for that kind of money.

I also believe that excessive vibration is direct harm to the insulation. From constant shaking, it will settle in a few years and the house will become cold. And I do not plan to shift all the insulation in 8-10 years. This, believe me, is not cheap.

Thermos house

"A skeleton frame is a wooden house and it breathes!" - this phrase is often used by sellers, talking about what kind of house is "breathable" and eco-friendly. But it is wooden if you look at it from the outside. And so this house basically consists of insulation, wrapped in different films.

"What does he breathe if the whole house is wrapped in a vapor barrier?" - I immediately asked the seller this question. He did not answer it. My old lamellar wooden house was breathing, and this is a huge thermos that breathes only through ventilation. It is ideal to install recuperators in such houses, but it is expensive.

Another reason is the presence of OSB and all sorts of similar materials on an adhesive basis. OSB contains adhesives, which are often toxic. Somehow I do not want to breathe all sorts of formaldehydes, and even in a thermos house.

House for mice

Insulation, be it foam or cotton wool, is ideal housing for mice and some insects. I was not convinced by the various grids under the floor and in the ventilation gaps. The mice will come anyway. Even through the door. And if they settle down, they will ruin the wall cake and it will simply stop working. Anyway, the cake of a wall, floor or roof is, first of all, a technology, not a set of layers. And if the mice spoil it, the house will lose its declared characteristics.
