Problems of the Three Foul or from which to build a house so as not to regret it.

About the quality of the insulation of the walls says the coefficient of heat transfer resistance, let's call it.

Keep in mind that according to current state standards, "K" should not be less than 2.8 m2 * grad.S / W. You can calculate it yourself by using the THERMOK program, which helps to perform heat engineering calculations and to check multilayer enclosure designs for compliance with norms and rules

Consider the pros and cons of the most common options.

The first two criteria, durability and durability are the same for homes of any materials, so we will not stop there.

A brick building with reinforced concrete slabs.

The advantage is very durable construction. There is no alternative to building a large house with large spans and a height of more than three floors.

The disadvantages of a brick house are the high cost of materials, transportation costs and construction work. In addition, the walls of the brick require additional insulation.

If the house is made of stone for you from the category of religion, we suggest looking at the article on which stone to build.

"K" brick wall lined with 10 cm foam - 2.51, which is less than the norm. Construction can be conducted only at a positive temperature. Today, a brick house can afford to build a person with very high incomes.

A thermostat of foam blocks filled with reinforced reinforced concrete.

The advantage is high durability. Ability to use at the initial stage of unskilled labor

Disadvantages - The cost of a box of this house is the same as in a building with foam blocks. Contrary to popular belief, the wall of the thermoblocks is not very warm. "K" wall of thermoblocks with a thickness of 200 mm - 2,15, in 1,3 times less than in accordance with the norms.

House made of aerated concrete or foam concrete blocks.

Advantages - the strength is almost the same as in the brick, with foam and gas concrete is twice as lightweight and warmer than the brick. "K" wall of aerated concrete blocks with a thickness of 375 mm - 3,02.

The disadvantage of this building is the high cost of materials and construction work. Construction can be conducted only at a positive temperature.

Wooden house or timber house.

Benefits - In our opinion, the benefits of wooden houses are exclusively aesthetic.

The disadvantage of a wooden house is the need for additional insulation. The walls made of logs have a thickness of 16-22 cm. This is not enough for our climate. "K" wooden wall 200mm - 1.27, which is below the norm in 2.2 times.

In addition, it is difficult to reliably seal the joints between the logs, which is why in winter in the chopped houses are often felt not very pleasant drafts. It should be borne in mind that for the first year of the design "crumb" by 6-10%, so before processing, installation of windows and doors can begin only a year after construction.

Frame house, often referred to as "Canadian".

Advantages:

the frame house is light, warm and cheap. "K" of the frame wall is 200 mm - 4.1, which is 1.5 times higher than norm.

The foundations are lightweight.

The cost of foundations is less by 40-50%.

The frame walls are warmer than aerated concrete in two and a half times and at the same time ten times easier. In addition, they are much cheaper.

High construction speed. Transport costs for delivery of materials are not high, as you can import materials to Gazelle. Construction of a frame house can be carried out in the winter.

Disadvantages:

The technology is very demanding for the careful assembly and qualification of workers.

Not so how did the grandparents build :-), others have not yet been found.

If desired, the frame house can not be distinguished from the brick.

Houses from SIP

This is one of the varieties of frame construction from factory sandwich panels.

Advantages:

• The panels from which the house is assembled are made at the factory. Therefore, the assembly of the home made of finished panels takes place very quickly.
• The SIP panels of the factory production have an ideally flat surface, which reduces the cost of manufacturing work.
• The building, built with IPS panels, can reduce the cost of heating. "K" wall 160 mm with SIP panels - 3.7-4.47 depending on the thickness of the sandwich plate
• Ecology. In the construction process, materials that are safe for human health are used. Shelves at home with PIP panels are widely used abroad in the US, Canada, etc.
• The design of the house is very light. Therefore, the construction does not require the involvement of special equipment, and also allows you to lower the cost of the foundation.
• High strength.

.

Disadvantages:

• A small number of factories for the production of quality SIP panels can be "sprawled" on handicraft production.
• Requires additional measures to soundproof the ceilings and internal walls.
• Since the house is being built very quickly, it is necessary at the very beginning to have a full sum of money for the construction of the entire building.

PS

Despite the fact that we consider the most optimal option as a frame house, we design and build at home and from traditional materials today - foam blocks, bricks and reinforced concrete panels.

From what to build a house with our own hands, we have identified for ourselves, and the first frame house was built personally for themselves.
