Speed, accessibility, energy efficiency - a modular karkasnik own hands

Frame housing is a relatively new, but certainly in demand in our country direction. Number of country houses that were built on this technology, every year increases exponentially. Basically, this one-piece construction with wooden or metal space frame or from structural insulation panels (CIP). But modular karkasniki still uncommon, although the "first signs" have emerged, including our portal.

Modern modular house 6x10

Mario_Br (User FORUMHOUSE):

I came up with the idea to build for the year on undeveloped site in the open field (yet clean) modern frame and modular house residence worth up to one million rubles, using the accumulated solid seasonally naezdny experience of living in a wooden house.

Form Factor

The main difference from the usual modular karkasnikov - production of "box" in the production and delivery of ready-made blocks on the object. Therefore, after the selection of the project are constructed on the basic parameters before Mario_Br I faced the task of finding a decent performer. To this end, he traveled several companies specializing in the assembly of the modules, and selected production, where he ordered the production of the four modules (6x2,5 m) designed to house a flat roof (slope 3⁰), a total of about 54 m² plus - a large terrace house two envelope sides (along almost 91 m²).

The original plan was finalized - to a relatively small area to comfortably accommodate all the necessary facilities, hall, kitchen and living room combined in the common area.

Like most frame designs for prefabricated house does not need a reinforced foundation, you can get a lightweight option in this case - piles. Form Factor:

• Frame - wooden beam (50x150 mm and its derivatives).
• Insulation - mineral rock wool (half - 200 mm, ceiling - 200 mm, wall - 150 mm, partition - 100 mm).
• Ceiling height - 2.5 m.
• The total glass area - 18 m².
• Interior decoration - wall paneling.
• Exterior finish - bar (larch).

Building

Terrace and originally planned to build their own, but as the interaction with the company-manufacturer modules was not as rosy as it seemed, Mario_Br blocks and took not fully cooked, and with the necessity of finishing touches are already in place. In early December, the modules were brought and installed on piles interconnected units are connected to the metal studs, joints propenivali.

The next step was an additional roof insulation and installation of self-adhesive roofing (sealing mastic). As it turned out, in the production did not have enough insulation not only that the owner immediately found, but of the roofing specification with high reflectivity, it became clear that much later.

While were roofing, Mario_Br ordered windows. Their production, taking into account non-standard dimensions, it took just a week and half and half a day to install. The attractiveness of the facade is provided panoramic glazing, which compensates for the simple shape and a flat roof and which is combined with a wood veneer. Tellingly, the solid glass area (9 screens) add a decorative, spaciousness and airiness, but it did not affect the heat-saving parameters. Double glazing and energy saving i-glass (which reflects heat radiation) prevent the outflow of heat from the room. This proved last winter - at a temperature of "outside" glass in temperature inside -25⁰S not fall below + 15⁰S (the house was 25⁰S +).

Decoration

After installation of windows and doors topikstarter started for assembling a combined heating system consisting of two independent parts:

• Stove - cast iron stove (7 kW).
• Electrical - convectors (4 pieces of 1.5 kW).

Installation furnace together with tiled podium took about half an hour - a compact unit does not require power base, despite the fact that almost all made of cast iron. Opting for convectors Mario_Br It explains their practicality.

Mario_Br:

Why convectors, not stationary heating system? Quite simply, the overall system cost, cost of ownership, minimal footprint, simplicity of installation and operation. So that this heating system, in my opinion, it turns out all the competition for small (up to 150 m) houses, but with an eye to the maximum possible power output.

On site at the moment it is supplied with 15 kW really get as much again if necessary. When heating the apparent high cost of electricity, it can be the best option, if the house is minimal heat loss and high-quality equipment with thermostats. Stove same - independent source of heat in the case of power cuts, a way to quickly warm up the house, design element, and a pledge of comfort. It is important that all was counted at the stage of planning - and the estimated heat loss, and the necessary power, and the nuances of installation and operation. For mounting convectors Zhmenya required screws and Internet access.

Since the walls and ceiling in modulnikah sheathed clapboard, under the finish is just finishing the floor, and this was the next step arrangement. before laying Mario_Br zapenil cracks in the ground interface module and the substrate under the laminate was another loop of warming around the perimeter of the floor. Laying though, and was the first to experience much difficulty did not cause.

For facade cladding chosen beveled slats larch - 20x115 mm, fasteners - screws with drill tip (4,5x42 mm). Obsada openings and flow also collected from the strip.

Interior decoration has continued installing doors last spring for fine-tuning the details (baseboards, shelves, assembly), furniture and organization "convenience". Kitchen picked up three modules of 60 cm, and a narrow refrigerator - 45 cm, despite the compact dimensions of the room, perfectly fit everything you need.

sewer system center was ready septic tank installed and running at the end of April, at the same time brought the water into the house. In a deep well portion (32 ring), pipe lengths of about 50 meters, water is pumped from the rod IPA pipe, is lowered into the well, a pump and a polypropylene pipe (buried in the ground with the cable) will be supplied in house. On entering the filter cartridge is a glass, water after cleaning is typed into the accumulator (accumulator volume 24 liters), and comes out of the wiring on devices. Hot water supply provides an electric boiler. Due to drive the desired pressure is maintained in the system. To create a full supply of a power failure need more capacity. But given that the water from the well, and you can get the manual way, it does not create problems. To avoid freezing highways all elevated stations will be wrapped with insulation for water pipe heating cable goes under a layer of insulation.

The share bathrooms had less than four squares, so there was a major challenge to fit all sanitary devices and elements of water supply with maximum comfort for the household. Interestingly, all the purchases made for the project, when the house was still on paper, led to successful results possible this approach - all fit. Bathroom though small, but fully functional and includes a shower, a cabinet with sink, toilet, CD, boiler, washing machine and water treatment system.

As well as throughout the house, the walls and the ceiling in the bathroom are decorated with paneling, the floor bed laminate. Mario_Br See for yourself that this coating despite the restrictions on the use in wet rooms, excellent resistance not only moisture, but also a direct hit by a large of water. Even if it comes to the low-price segment, not to mention the more expensive categories. And the lining, after processing protective structures, quietly endure such a mode of operation for several decades. Therefore, he did not bother with the special materials.

To equip the house inside, improvements continued the planned construction of terraces - piles of timber frame, wooden flooring (flooring impregnated with oil color composition). The canopy will be the future, and will was attached laundry room and sauna, terrace unite all construction on the site.

Mario_Br:

The main idea of ​​my new family estate - build the most simple one-story house with all amenities and easy heating, a large terrace with the possibility of easy expansion in the plane. It is due to an extension to the guest house terrace, saunas and the like, but the message between the buildings was carried out only in one plane (in any case, not up) - on the terrace.

As demonstrated by last winter - a modular frame house holds heat very well, even in the absence of vestibule, justified calculations of heat loss, and insulation thickness be Walling enough. a box costs amounted to little more than a million. Total costs, including arrangement, furnishings and baths with utility room extension - within two million. Everything turned out as planned, and pop in the process flaws - it is bad faith performers in the production of modules, does not detract from the merits of the technology frame-unit construction.
