Having decided to start building your own home, you will often hear a lot from developers and in detail about «innovative construction technologies», who work miracles on each «stage of construction». Naturally, for all these delights you will be asked to pay. Sometimes not a little. Are these «Miracles» And for which it is really worth giving money?
Traditional and modern technologies for the construction of private houses
Indeed, the development of technology has stepped far ahead. It makes sense to cling to the old only if it is seriously justified. Traditional technologies imply the use of proven metals and materials that are not always economical and energy -efficient: brick, mineral wool, iron roof. These materials were tested by time, but they were replaced by much more interesting solutions.
Traditional stone walls. Reliable, strong, solid. A brick house can stand for more than one century. However, he does not fully justify himself from the point of view of thermal insulation, complicated and roads in the construction, has a large weight that imposes serious requirements for the basis.
Modern builders conducted a serious revision of stone materials. And first of all – This is foam – and aerated concrete. Large and light blocks from this material are good warm – and soundproofing indicators, are easy to process and are absolutely safe for people’s health. The construction of them, due to a larger shape, is very fast, and the finished structure does not shrink.
Latest belief in construction – Factory formwork. These buildings are literally «they are» in molding blocks of foam. This technology allows you to get monolithic houses with ready -made bilateral insulation. Reinforcement occurs both due to steel rods that are inserted into the thickness of the concrete, and due to their own steel brackets inside the blocks.
Wood as a material for a home – much more traditionally. Such a house has a special aura. He is very warm in winter and cool in summer, he breathes. However, high fire hazard and dependence on the quality of the source material (moisture and homogeneity of wood) make the construction of such houses with a very troublesome occupation. In addition, after its completion, the house needs to be given what is called «settled» Another year. Otherwise, the same humidity will play a cruel joke with him, and the hosts of the rushworms will receive large cracks in the walls. Much worse if these same cracks appear inside the logs. And impregnation of wood to protect it from moisture and insects – Not cheap.
An alternative for those who want to live in a wooden house, but do not want to put up with its disadvantages, glued beam. This is a material made by their high -quality, and, most importantly, dry boards. They are glued to polymer binder under high pressure. The surface of the beam is covered with the same composition. There is just nowhere to get on! You can live in such a house as soon as the keys to it are given to you, and it will resist the fire much better than a simple tree.
Correct choice
Of course, the choice remains only for you. Someone prefers a traditional stone and is not ready to see its alternatives. Someone will be interested in new items that, frankly, are doubtful. There is only one way out – Search for experts, compare, not disdain construction forums and generally such a treasure as the Internet. Never based your choice on the price of the material, look at the expediency. In the end, you are building a house in which it will be comfortable, comfortable and safe to live.
