Advantages and disadvantages winter construction. Should I bother

Do I need to build in the winter, and how not to make mistakes, to understand the experience of the participants FORUMHOUSE

Winter - not the best time for construction. Most people try to complete the work before the onset of frosts and snowfalls. There even is a fairly common opinion that there is a reason to build in the winter only to construction companies, not to stop business for almost six months.

In the service of the golden calf all good. Why do it for myself - it is not clear!

Meanwhile, among the participants FORUMHOUSE there are people who, under pressure of circumstances, even in Siberia consciously begin construction in October and November, beginning to - and win.

In this article we will look at:

• Disadvantages and dangers of winter construction.
• How to save on winter construction.
• Why is better to build wooden house in winter.
• Previous frame house construction in -30 ° C.

Winter construction: the dangers and disadvantages

One of the main reasons why people do not trust the winter construction is formulated briefly: "additional hemorrhoids." There is a number of cases and circumstances that are not under construction years - constant snow removal, cold, wet masonry and building materials, increase the cost of electricity and so on.

Go through the list:

• High electricity costs. We have to heat the shed for the construction team - so, FORUMHOUSE participant with the nickname Vasya Pupkin, A supporter of winter construction, said that the heat gun in the cabins did not stop for a second.
• Many construction processes require special care. Referring again to the experience John Doe: Collecting his log house builders teetering on a slippery surface of the semi-circular "as acrobats in the boots."

Vasya Pupkin

I welled up with one three-meter height. He escaped with slight shock. And could to 6 meters and not in a snowdrift.

• When the assembly of a log house in the winter it is impossible to carry out greasing between the crowns of high quality antiseptic. The frost does not freeze "just bullshit."
• Modern meteorology with an accuracy of 98% can only predict the weather for the next two days. To predict what would be the winter, it is impossible - it is likely soft, and then "the water, the abyss, the dirt will do their nasty business"
• Daylight hours in some of the winter months, and in some regions lasts just a few hours. Also, the duration of the working day influence severe frosts and heavy snowfalls - not have to work building tools and a shovel or a tractor to drive to the site after each storm.
• The cold cracking during sawing wood, work must be stopped.
• Complicated processes associated with the concrete is poured. Besides that antimoroznye additives, so-called "nezamerzayki" - this is a purely winter costs, there may be other problems, which will not be in the summer.

On FORUMHOUSE was the theme of winter pouring the foundation: The author asked why concrete is cracked, and put a photo. It reinforcement before casting coated with a layer of frost and ice.

• Masonry in our country are year-round, while the temperature of work is determined by the temperature setting of the cement and additives. Zero temperatures necessary to heat the cement slurry, and it too - the extra costs. When serious approach requires the construction of a sealed frame around the object and applying heat guns. Also not recommended to keep the front of the masonry in the winter.

Saline antifreeze additives - one of the factors leading to subsequently efflorescence.

Winter construction: the advantages and opportunities

This is not a complete list of "spoon of tar" in a barrel of winter construction, however, each less more or less balanced by a plus.

In winter, though there is a solution, and in the spring when the rains come, then just have to smoke before the summer. Nothing is perfect - will have to sacrifice something.

Most members of our portal is considered winter a good time for the construction of the wooden frame.

• The quality of the winter forest is already higher due to lower moisture content, in addition, it also decreases when working in the cold. A drier log, the less the likelihood of infection by a fungus.
• on the foundation of the spring will be affected by the weight of the house, and, thus, the foundation under load is not deformed, the structure will be less prone to distortions. In addition, all the shortcomings can be corrected optionally, in the course of construction.
• The most important thing in the summer it will be possible to proceed to the decoration of the house, do not have to waste time on "shrinkage".

And even when it comes to the construction of modern materials, in winter the situation can be found a number of advantages, or at least comes out of it:

Concrete factory order on the foundation, with protivomorozkoy.

protivomorznoy addition to the requirements should be:

• Compliance with GOST 22266.
• The composition should include a number of active substances: chlorides and nitrates of calcium and sodium, and potassium.

When working with concrete even with such additives is not recommended to pass the threshold - 12-15 ° C.

The main advantages that are brought to the people themselves who have experience of winter construction:

• as the builders in the winter are often left without a job, it is possible to choose a highly professional contractor and the crew;
• winter on country roads movement is much smaller;
•  Prices for construction materials are relatively low, plus there is the opportunity to buy and New Year discounts;
• heavy construction equipment did not break ground at the site;
• logs are kept clean, that rarely happens in the spring thaw.

Winter construction summerhouse

Member of our portal to on-line showed a solo "Death Defying Acts" - construction of the frame country house in the middle of winter conditions of the Novosibirsk region.

At this step it is decided for reasons of financial necessity: after the sale of an apartment and shopping area left the money in the spring in the current economic situation have all chances "to turn into a pumpkin."

All builders who know right now pohvatali his head, well, I'm with them for the company decided to grab.

All the building materials were purchased before January, and did not want to leave them until spring in the open. January 13, he began to clear the building spot of trees and debris, and the next year a new three adults, four children and one cat already met in an excellent, warm and cozy house.

It was the first construction experience our forumchanin, during which he empirically established that the building the work can be carried out at a temperature of -32 degrees, although some board crashed as flogged, when you try to drive them nail. But the biggest challenge of the Siberian winter construction - it snow. Sometimes a whole day had to spend only the fact that it clean up.

Unreal76

But in the spring and summer would have gryazyuku knead and additionally equip entrances, building material from the rain is not clear where to hide. In general, while the winter "for" more than a year.

We invite you to learn more about the history of this heroic constructionAnd here denote some rules that Unreal76 derived from the experience.

• When the winter is especially important construction project. The framework was "traced to the last Boards", so since proburivaniya pits under piles up Welding of last nail it took exactly 14 days. The work was conducted on the finished drawings, so everything went like clockwork. All that was not envisaged by the project, comes up on the go and therefore carried out very slowly.
• When the air temperature falls below -30 ° C, simple hand tools is indispensable. At least -30 ° C, at least -50 ° C - manual styler "could not care less!". Power tool can be used when the heat is -20 ° C.

• Colleagues FORUMHOUSE timely warned Unreal76 by laying soft tile (already difficult even -5 ° C to work with this material, each shingle has to warm elektrofenom) a strong freezing temperatures. According to the technology, it lay only a plus. Will temporarily close the right building "than do not mind", for example, roofing material and put the soft roof is already on the positive side.

It may happen that in the spring shingles will increase slightly in size and become a stake, like the scales of a fish.

House of aerated concrete

Member FORUMHOUSE c nickname manfredi_ru his house of aerated concrete began to build in the end of November, in the new settlement «without electricity, gas and other amenities of civilization "- was installed on site only cabins for the workers. And since November, the daylight hours shortened before our eyes, manfredi_ru I bought two generators. A - is the cheapest to most economical consumption (650W 0.3 liters per hour) for LED floodlights, other, more powerful (3 kW) - Instrument.

Built in the winter member of our portal launched for several reasons: the construction market is expected to rise in price, and in fact, 80% of the material had to buy directly in front of rapidly rising prices; at the superintendent began to idle workers - have the opportunity to negotiate with them at a large discount.

manfredi_ru

It turned out - either they do not earn anything until the summer, or earn, but not as much as they would like.

Since winter weather is unpredictable, decided to err "nezamerzayku" in the mix.

The foundation in the soil (red clay) was dug a trench "deeper" and made an impressive sandy pillow.

Workers put the rebar, and for some time had to be spent on waiting until the ground a little grab. Fortunately, the weather was favorable construction: frosts in December was not, and the foundation was able to successfully fill. Used concrete (grade 350) with nezamerzayku to -15 ° C.

All normal people are building all year round. The main thing - not to produce concrete and masonry work in the cold, heating and use of special additives that increase frost resistance of concrete (mortar).
Starting in the fall - in two months time to do the foundation-wall. The roof in the winter do nothing to stop.

Two weeks later, we started construction of a brick base. Morozov has not been, but it was snowing constantly, due to bad weather work was quite slow, plinth was only completed in the third decade of December. After that has been laid out permanent formwork, imported wood furnishing monolithic slab formwork.

Weather in December not installed - the thaw, the frost, as a result of members of our portal had to buy from the janitors around porch its urban apartment bags with salt and sprinkle dangerous road sections, so that the machine with mixer blocks and reached the construction site without dangerous adventure. As a result:

manfredi_ru

Poured slab, covered it with a tarpaulin and 3 burners installed. Stove mature in its own juice.

Of course, this "winter greenhouse plate" is not cheap, but it is always offset by the fact that in winter, lower employment costs and builders lower prices for materials.

In the experience of the participants in our portal: coming on the eve of New Year's holidays in any wholesale company with "in cash", you are sure to become the owner of 25% discount.

A week after the plate was covered, we started construction, however, and during the second week of the plate is not particularly loaded. According to many participants of our portal to wait any longer and should not have, because concrete is gaining 70% of the design capacity for the week. Of course, we are talking about high-quality concrete.

In March were completed outer walls of the first floor and a brick belt. It began laying out walls, which are hidden in the pipe chimney and ventkanal. By late April, the house looked already like this:

Attention is drawn to the high quality of the work - the thin seams of 1.5-2 millimeters, units are fitted with a float.

When masonry trowel used.

manfredi_ru

There is also a house of a neighbor block, only the block stands on the edge of the wall thickness of 20 cm. At the same time he displayed masonry as brick, joints 1-1.5 cm, probably, the builders put him in laying rail, beautiful course... but violates technology and meaning.

House arbolita

Member of our portal with the nickname motorist I received an order for construction of the house from winter arbolita - a young family could not wait to move into their homes. At this point, we have already laid the foundation.

The walls are 37 cm thick laid in the unhurried pace: in the off-season you can afford it. In extreme cold and blizzard stopped working.

Laying conducted on conventional cement-sand mortar with addition "nezamerzayki nearest to market". Heat was applied to the air gap a cold bridge.

Metal beams supported by Laying nets.

Motorist

In an I-section beams 16 used. Armature 12th pitch of 150 mm at the bottom and top plates welded mesh laid on 6 mm. Reinforcement do, because claydite doing enough light, and do not want him to give up the slack. Claydite mesim in place independently.

By early February, the box was built, builders have started installation of the roof.

And until the time has zero temperature, prepared for pouring the overlap between the first and second floor installed beams, fastened reinforcement Hem formwork.

Windows tightened film - the house can be heated with a heat gun. When daytime temperatures began to rise above zero, gun raised the temperature inside the room and filled Solid ceiling - now you can put interior walls on the second floor.

Arbolit formed of separate chips, so it keeps fasteners worse than the tree. It is therefore recommended to increase the length of the fasteners and a half times in relation to the tree.

Motorist

The tree would have nailed a nail 70, and arbolit better to take 100.

Windows, the landlord ordered larch. Unlike plastic, wood windows installed at the end of all "wet process". Therefore, hardly established heat was completed roof (metal roofing can be laid, without being afraid to slip and break) and plastered facade, and then inserted into the window.
