Veranda - a useful extension to the house

Veranda - one of the most popular types of additions that improve and functionality, and appeal of a private home. "Naked" front door looks lonely, and the porch, though, and is decorated with inferior porch practicality. Therefore, this, in every respect useful, design popular among truckers and members of portal FORUMHOUSE - is no exception.

What is the veranda

Veranda called unheated rooms open or closed, which can be internal or directly attached to the house. Verandas confused with terraces, these concepts have much in common, but the terrace - it is an open deck, which may be adjacent to the house and stay clear. At the terrace there can be no roof, whereas the porch is optional. While doing and open verandas, with low permeable barriers along the entire perimeter, most of all - it's a closed room with a large proportion of glazing.

This design can be used at any time of the year, in contrast to the open, and at the request of the hosts turns even in the dining room, even in the living room, even in the bedroom.

That is, the cost of its construction is less than a full room, and benefit even more - in the summer veranda is both a gazebo, in which nice to relax in the fresh air.

Form Factor

Built-in porch is being built together with the house, on a common foundation, and under a common roof, she laid at the design stage. But this is less common than veranda-extension; and the need for improvements to occur already in the process of development of the house, and funds may only miss on the main structure. Attached veranda built on a separate, not connected with the common ground, has a truss system and may be constructed in any operating period. Private foundations practical for two reasons:

• Lightweight veranda will exert less stress, so the part of the foundation will "walk" differently, under the effect of heave forces that will result in deformation or breakage of communication;
• You can choose a lightweight foundation veranda. Since different types of foundation are not combined, easier to separate than to spend money on a deep plate or tape.

In Depending on the type and age of a private house, porch or parked close to the front, not associating with him, or perform "Floating" connection by tongue-and-groove system or special fasteners, allowing a slight change in the position design. This is due to possible shifts of soil and shrinkage of the house - hard links can "break".

verandas form is selected, based on the area that they want to receive, and in accordance with the architecture of the house, to remake it adorned, and did not spoil the whole look.

Location extensions directly related to entrance - on the veranda must be accessed from the home, and not only from the street. If there is a second floor balcony, terrace, duplicating its shape, it looks better. Given that the current architecture provides the private home of any configuration, and the porch is now possible to meet even round, though the square, even polygonal. The most simple and popular - rectangular, along one wall or part thereof. It is more difficult, but also decorative - the letter "G", envelopes corner of the house. Even more interesting, but more difficult to install and less common - around the perimeter of the facade.

The width and length of the structure is limited, again, the need for dopploschadi, finance and visual matching, but the building has verandah 2.5-3 meters impractical.

Determine the size, do not forget about proportions - small outbuilding is funny look at the background of the mansion, and the massive veranda lost a modest house.

Shed roof extensions usually, inclined to good snow melts. The larger the estimated snow load, the steeper the angle should be. This is especially true for the buildings, which will accumulate snow and pitched roof. If you do not take into account this factor, as seasonal cottage living, and clearing snow on a "spring It melts ", instead of the first output pleasant heat, can receive the" folded "veranda and bonus dismantling.

When choosing a building material paying attention to the combination of extension and at home. If in the future everything will be sewn siding or other facing, what's the difference, what's inside. If the brick facade and cladding is not expected, it is unlikely it will decorate annexe of aerocrete frame or in the shell of the siding. As an option - a wooden outbuilding with decorative elements, wood is universally and naturally looks to all databases. Roofing material, ideally, you need to take is the same as on the roof. If for some reason this is not possible - as close as possible.

Frame porch in a private house

Due to the relative simplicity of design, affordability in terms of finance and its speed of erection hands, very popular among private traders are framed porch on a block or bar foundation. Conveniently, the frame can be clad in any simulation of the overall style. Member portal Gerasimm He replaced the old porch, a separate, unrelated facade framing veranda.

Accelerate the process of creating a form of plastic bottles, plastic roofing helped nine liters, which gave the necessary 20 cm in diameter, and by the handle pattern was convenient to extract. As fasteners - tape that he kept the place a bunch of purified powder and degreased.

glazing

The Porch-type glazing is provided, it can be continuous or zonal - panoramic windows are mounted between the frame struts. Glazing occupies most of three walls, which makes it possible to use the veranda all year round. Modern plastic windows can be ordered with any desired dimensions, so the problems with non-standard sizes are not there. Glass can also be door - plain or sliding, the entire opening, the window can also be hinged or sliding, these systems are relevant for a large, panoramic windows. In the standard, the zonal glazing windows placed at a height of 50-60 cm from the finished floor, adjacent frames are put through the dead of the rack, if they are in a row.

A kind of hybrid of open and closed veranda happen if instead of the usual windows use "soft" - stretched canvas of special PVC.

They are mounted to the top of the frame, during inclement weather or colder seasons pull fabric, completely cover the openings.

I am exploiting the soft window of about two years, and pleased, ordered in Moscow, according to his own sketches. The only thing that had changed - rigid attachment (grommets) on the sides and the undersides of the blades removed from the walls, and mount fulfilled springs clutch pedal of the automobile dealer. Otherwise dangled summer and in winter pulls up to the threat of tears because of the large thermal expansion coefficient. The summer just roll up the canvas, on rainy days, when visitors come in large numbers - unroll.

Another alternative - polycarbonate, it is also less expensive, can be sliding or stationary, but significantly loses and windows, and stretched canvas on transparency. And the look is far from each design, but for many it becomes the best option, taking into account value for money.

decoration

The decoration of terraces used a variety of materials, but the most widespread wood - lining hem ceiling is lined walls, both inside and outside. Unless resources allow, using different patterned panel (MDF, plastic), and the simulation - a timber or under the bunk. When choosing interior finishes should be borne in mind that even the covered porch is not heated, and will be significant changes in temperature and humidity. And if it is an open design, much more, all finishes will be subjected to increased wear due to the rain. So you should not give preference to decorative materials, and their resistance to the intended mode of operation. As a floor covering is recommended to use a special decking, plain, even treated with layers of protective compositions will constantly need to be updated.
