Building a house for 3 weeks: roofing, siding, windows

The diversity of today's market of construction materials allows you to choose the roofing or facade solution for every taste and budget

Concept project our holiday home based on the principles of economy and speed of construction. In this respect, the ideal solution for roofing is metal, and the facade we decided to sheathe vinyl siding. The only assumption we made in the design of the facade, it abandoned vinyl additional elements for the design of corners and window openings, and replaced them with colored planed board.

Roof

After warming the roof and the installation of the membrane, we mounted the bars 45 × 45 mm, providing ventzazor, bars are mounted on the nails on the entire length of the rafters. Further on the bars performed from lathing boards 25 × 250 mm, with 350 mm pitch axis boards.

Speed of work with metal tile is dictated by the fact that there is no need to carry out a solid foundation under it. tile sheets are pre-ordered in the size of the roof, so there is no need to carry out work on its fit and trim at the construction site, at least on our simple roof. In addition, the large format sheets in combination with the low weight allows you to perform roofing work in a very short time.

The self-assembly of metal is no big deal, and in this respect there is a mass of instructions.

It is important to remember that the tile is attached to the crate with special roofing screws with rubber O-ring.

After all the sheets have been installed, we have established a horse of the same color as the metal.

We then proceeded to finish the eaves and gable overhangs and eaves of the roof binder.

Windshields and eaves we made from pre-painted, dry planed boards 20h140 mm trim produced in a manner that is called the Finnish ladder.

Roof overhangs, too, hemming the same board 20h140 mm. Board stuffed with a gap of 10 mm necessary for the ventilation of the roof space.

Next started the decoration of the facade.

Siding

The advantage of the siding is that it is relatively inexpensive, does not require any serious care of his simply wash, and can be easily mounted in a helmet that meets our concept.
For attaching vinyl siding, there are two types of subsystems of wood and metal. Their main difference from each other in that the metal system is used on uneven walls. Using it is convenient to neutralize the curvature of the walls and make installation.

We used in the construction of a calibrated planed board, so the geometry of our house does not require corrective actions.

On top of the membrane, we just installed the bars 45 × 45 mm, and asked them the necessary clearance ventfasada. Then do the same wooden sub-system for mounting ground siding from the remnants of the board 20h140
mm, which sutured roof overhangs.

Followed by assembling the cap metal siding and apparatus reflux 5cm wide. Low tide, in addition to purely practical function, also visually separates the house from the basement walls.

Installing vinyl siding begins with a starting strip. Mounting vinyl panels is carried out on galvanized screws.

The panels have done in advance oblong holes for fastening to it (panel) was not rigidly fixed. It is important to remember that the screws can not be dokruchivat through. The fact is that the siding under the influence of temperature changes its linear dimensions - this is one of its characteristics. If every fixture is firmly clamped, the panel will begin to deform and change its geometry, and the wall will the so-called "wave".

Of additional elements of vinyl siding we have left only the start and finish trims, corner also finishing and finishing elements of windows made board 20h140 mm prepainted brown Colour. This finish is wider than the full-time and looks presentable.

Window

A total of seven windows of our house, three of them - a large, panoramic and one keystone. All the windows are fixed, they have to metal hangers with seam foaming. This should be considered when ordering the windows and keep about 1 cm from each side of the foam. Samostroyschiki Many people mistakenly believe that the foam seal solves all issues. However, it is fundamentally wrong and the correct installation of windows - a number of measures to protect the foam from the street outside the precipitation and vapor from inside the premises.

To protect the foam from the inside of the window seam glued vapor barrier. Outside foam seam is closed by precipitation wooden quarters and trims which frame the window.

Exterior quarter - a wooden items in that box rests, they serve as a stop for the window, and to protect the foam seam. They are made from the same timber as the rest of the house - is a dry planed wood, painted in two layers of façade paint, water-based.

Immediately before installing windows waterproofing facade is put into the opening and glued using adhesive tape.

Then fastened to the window profile mounting plate.

After mounting plates along the perimeter of the window on the double-sided adhesive strip is attached vapor barrier, which subsequently also be glued to the tape vapor barrier at home. In the corners of windows are formed so-called ears, that a vapor barrier could turn on a wall.

Next begin the installation. Mount the temporary stops to fix the window in the opening level and establishes a temporary backing in order to provide space for foam seam.

Along the perimeter of the window from the outside of the sizing PSUL which expands to fill a space between the profile and the quarter.

Next, fix the window in the opening with screws, unscrew the time stops and instead put a quarter.

Now you can start foaming. The main thing - do not forget to pour the foam after cutting off the excess and close the loop vapor barrier.

Configuration window does not affect their installation technology. Similarly set the panoramic windows.

On this basic construction and assembly work on the house completed - warm circuit is closed. For that, we took only 3 weeks. Thus, having a small amount of money and a lot of desire to get started on "May" you may well sag new summer season at his home. Of course, the house is still necessary to have a communication and make interior trim, but with walls and a roof over your head to make it easy. It would be something to make the hand.
