Advantages and disadvantages of the manufacture of frame houses

Increasingly, for the construction of suburban housing are used frame construction technology, which replaces the stone buildings, bricks, silicate blocks or other materials. Manufacturing of frame houses takes minimum time, it is cost-effective and ready construction of different environmentally friendly. This is not a complete list of positive characteristics of this type of houses, though - there are downsides. All the features describe below.

Benefits

- The speed of erection. No need for a complicated arrangement of the bases, the absence of wet processes in the construction, the construction of all-season - all this greatly reduces the time of commissioning. On average, the owner receives a finished object in 3-6 months, depending on the complexity of the project.
- Low price. Cost - the main criterion, because of which the owners are hesitant to order the production of frame houses. Compared to the cottages of brick or foam blocks, this technology allows you to save 20-40%.
- Good thermal and sound insulation. When building in regions with low temperatures in the winter, it is possible to increase the thickness of the walls and teplouteplitel use of mineral wool to reduce heat loss. Provided competent design and erection, and can achieve a good sound insulation.

- Easy Repair of frame houses. Simple design allows you to quickly make alterations or repairs of the individual elements of the building, add an extension, to conduct additional engineering services.
- Environmental Safety. The frame is made from natural wood or timber waste. The material is hypoallergenic, non-toxic and does not emit harmful substances to human health, which is especially important for families with young children.

Also worth mentioning is that this technology is used not only for housing but also for the arrangement of garages, gazebos, verandas, business and other buildings.

disadvantages

The main drawback of such designs - their fragility when compared with other materials. The service life of 20-25 years, then have to carry out repairs of frame houses. With proper maintenance of the building will stand for 100 years, but it is not intended to stay for generations (maximum two or three). The following two problems can be called contingent, they can be avoided by using the right materials:

1. Fire hazard. Wood is perfectly lit, but because it will require treatment of flame retardants.
2. Rotting. At high humidity putrefaction processes begin in the timber, and therefore require processing antiseptic. There is also a risk of structural failure due to insects.

If the erection of a competent master works carcass home, many problems will be avoided. The main thing - to choose a contracting organization, building materials and materials for further processing.
