What materials for the construction of a country house are better?
It is difficult to say unequivocally, because everyone “better” understands something of his own.
Therefore, we briefly consider the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Glued beam for and against
1. Due to the absence of cracks, glued wood 2 times better holds heat. The thickness of the wall of maple beam in 180 mm replaces the brick wall 1.5 meters.
2. Glued beam practically does not shrink – no more than 1% of the shrinkage of a wooden house.
3. Houses made of glued beams are durable – such a tree does not rot.
4. The aesthetic qualities of such a house are quite high. You can not cover the wall outside with a trim, and from the inside too.
Minus:
1. Easily ignites in dry weather.
Brick houses pros and cons of
The advantages of brick are as follows:
1. Lasting.
2. Resistant to frost and aggressive environments.
3. Durable.
4. Environmentally friendly.
5. Microporas help improve microflora indoors.
6. Fire safety.
7. High sound insulation.
8. There are decorative types of bricks.
Brick disadvantages:
1. The foundation for a brick house is more expensive and massive.
2. Thermal conductivity is high, so the walls should be thick. Or use facade insulation systems.
3. Not suitable for temporary residence. Heating is necessary so as not to be damp.
Foam concrete blocks Pros and cons
Pentate pluses:
1. Accumulates heat, which reduces heating costs. Walls can be made single -layer.
2. Vapor permeability like a tree, so the house is easily breathed.
3. Good sound insulation – 10 times higher than that of brick.
4. Not afraid of humidity, absorbs water from the air, adjusting the microclimate in the room.
5. High fire resistance. A 150 cm thick pentone wall protects from fire for 4 hours.
6. Environmentally friendly material.
7. Economical – due to the high accuracy of the size of concrete blocks in the wall, there are practically no cold bridges. This means that you can make less layer of plaster and, due to reducing the weight of the structure, the foundation is reduced.
8. During construction, you do not need to use lifting equipment – foam concrete blocks light.
9. You can make the finish by any materials, since foam concrete is combined with all finishing materials.
Cons of foam concrete:
1. The life of the building is lower due to moist shrinkage.
2. Penoboton strength is lower than that of any other building materials.
Sandwich panels Pros and cons
1. High thermal insulation properties. 100 mm thickness replaces 640 mm brick. Three -layer wall panels reduce heating costs in winter and cooling in the summer.
2. Soundproofing.
3. Light weight – it’s easier to build houses and the foundation is cheaper.
4. Construction terms are reduced by 10 times, since the house is assembled as a children’s designer.
5. Durability. The warranty period of such a house is 50 years.
6. Does not require leveling the walls and sealing cracks – you can immediately start finishing the premises.
7. With the growth of the family, you can finish the house with the same sandwich panels.
Cons of building a house from sandwich panels: you need to calculate the thickness (number of layers) to reduce heating costs.
Kramano-chip houses Pros and cons of
Pros:
1. Fast construction.
2. Simple and cheap foundation.
Cons:
1. Easily ignited even after special processing.
2. Fasteners of the frame are shaken over time due to a change in temperature and humidity.
Combined houses
Most often, during the construction of houses, not one, but two types of material are used. This allows you to use the pluses of both materials, bypassing the disadvantages.
Brick+tree goes well. The brick lower floor protects the wooden second from the moisture content of the earth. To protect the tree from rains, the roof is made overhanging.
Connect different materials tightly so that both wood and brick work together, at the same time, at the same time. To do this, use reinforcing pins. They are laid in brickwork. On brick laying is put roofing material and polyurethane foam. And sticking reinforcement allows you to fix the crown of logs or bars of the second floor.
Men are popular combinations such as foam concrete or aerated concrete+frame floor.
Choose material for building your home wisely. After all, you live in it for more than one year!
