Before the construction of a cottage or private house you are about to take a lot of important decisions, in particular - to select the type of foundation and material of which it is made, the type and material of walls, ceilings, roof, etc. Building a house from foam blocks foam concrete blocks have good insulating properties, so the walls are thinner than the brick, which reduces the consumption of building materials and solution. Easy construction of walls of foam blocks can reduce the need for a support area of the foundation of future homes, respectively, to reduce the cost of the zero cycle. In addition, the use of foam in construction of the cottage will reduce transportation costs and speed up construction of homes. Building a house out of blocks of expanded clay concrete lightweight aggregate blocks are highly durable.
As ingredients in the manufacture of expanded clay concrete blocks used expanded clay gravel. leca - an environmentally friendly insulation. Lightweight aggregate blocks possess the best characteristics of thermal conductivity Compared to conventional concrete. In addition, claydite has higher sound quality compared to the lightweight concrete, has a higher moisture resistance than cement concrete. Lack of large fractional filling gives a sizeable weight reduction of constructed buildings. Building a house of brick The main advantage of brick houses - the strength and durability.
Also, the advantage of brick houses is a wide choice of finishing walls - tiling, plastering, stucco, etc. Other advantages of brick cottages include a high degree of protection from fire, low exposure to atmospheric influences, high strength structure. Choosing the basement at this stage you will have to decide what to build: a house without a basement - in this case fits the monolithic or precast strip foundations, completely covered with soil, a monolithic slab, lying almost on the surface of the earth; house technical underground (to accommodate the boiler and other devices for the operation of the house) - suitable strip foundations with feedback dumping in parts of the basement; habitable house with a basement (it apart mentioned in the preceding paragraph of equipment can be a garage, workshop, sauna, etc.). Overlap overlap in your future cabin home can be monolithic or teams. Each species has its own advantages and disadvantages. Plates for precast slabs are manufactured certain sizes, respectively house design based on the data size, which also imposes restriction on the internal configuration of the cottages. The advantages include the fact that the plates are installed under any weather conditions, faster than monolithic, precast joists cheaper. Monolith gives you the freedom to plan inner space of the house and its outer contour. Finish monolithic ceiling is easier and cheaper. Disadvantages - higher price and complexity of the mount at low temperatures. Also during the construction of houses may combined floor - part overlaps make monolithic part - teams. Roof construction was time to decide - will be in the cottage attic or loft. The attic is insulated to cut off, and the insulation on the attic a more complicated scheme: vapor barrier - a heater - vapor permeable waterproof. Cross-section trusses is calculated in accordance with the load created by the truss design, weight insulation and roofing material, snow and wind. On cross-section trusses also affects the width of spans. The choice of roofing material for the construction of your cottage depends solely on your options - the options are countless and their prices differ quite substantially.
