Construction and repair of frame cottages

From time immemorial, the tree was considered the cleanest and most effective material for the construction of suburban homes. The progenitor of these houses is called Russian wooden hut, whose history goes back deep into the past millennia. Today, at the peak of the burst of technological progress, the tree as building material has not been forgotten. On the basis of this natural material based so popular today, the construction of frame houses key. On the easy and inexpensive foundation built of wooden frame beam width from 100 to 200 mm. carcass cavity filled with modern insulating materials (mineral wool, foam plastic, foam fillers) and sheathed sheets (outside usually - sheets of oriented strand board (made of wood), and the inside - gypsum sheets).

Advantages of frame houses

The choice of the construction options takes place on the basis of a comparison of advantages and disadvantages of the proposals under consideration. The advantages for frame options include the following factors:

- the minimum value as the carcass structure itself, and the foundation being built for this building (foundation costs for a stone house can be up to 40-50% of the total construction cost, and for a frame house, this figure does not exceed 25%);
- a high degree of thermal protection and low costs for heating of the frame structure, which is caused by warming of the frame house with modern insulating materials);
- High speed of erection and little effort (team of 2-4 people can set frame house for 2-5 days without the use of specialized equipment and hoists);
- seismic excellent characteristics of stability (which is not the homes of brick, stone blocks or walls which burst at the slightest loss foundation 1-2 cm);
- simplicity and ease of interior trim frame house, due to perfectly smooth walls that do not need to align with plaster;
- long service life - these homes can serve for 50-80 years without major repairs;
- ease of replacement of thermal insulation (after half a century, mineral wool or foam can be easily replaced by unscrewing the inner or outer sheets).

Concludes

Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the construction of a country house (which may be used for year-round use), the best option in terms of price and quality will be a skeleton design. Build a house can be independently, which is cheaper (assuming knowledge of building technology and design of such houses). But to obtain reliable results and to prevent fatal errors, it is better to entrust this business professionals. The same principle it is advisable to stick to and during repairs frame cottages.
