Our ancestors preferred to live in wooden houses, so there was nothing new in building frame buildings. The technology has been improved a little, but the basics of construction are taken from the distant past.
Hard living conditions in the north, a complex climate force people to show resourcefulness in the arrangement of houses. They appreciated frame structures, so such buildings appeared in many places. The popularity of frame houses was also facilitated by their simple installation. Other building materials cannot compete with a tree during the construction of walls for a number of reasons. Walls in frame houses are not subject to shrinkage, during construction it is not necessary to build a heavy foundation. The beginning of finishing work is possible immediately after the completion of construction.
Frame buildings preserve heat well and are the leaders of this business compared to other technologies. For construction, you do not even need to use heavy equipment and labor -intensive human resources. This fact must be reflected in the cost of construction – the frame house is cheaper.
The structure of the walls
Any house is built with internal and external walls. Most technologies for building frame houses involve the construction of walls in the form of a sandwich. The first layer performs the function of wind protection. The insulation is installed behind it and exterior decoration is carried out. There are also OSB plates, vapor barrier, frame and interior decoration. It is necessary to remember that the walls in the frame house are carrying. It is not so easy to make changes to the already finished project. For example, for an additional window, you will have to carry out work to strengthen the site in the wall.
Boards of the frame and plane of the wall are installed approximately at the same level, since the changes create additional problems. But if they appear, they must be eliminated. After all, when the OSP plates are not mounted, there should be no cracks. The ribs of the walls should make up a single plane, since the subsequent external decoration can turn out to be a wave -like.
Insulation
During the construction of frame houses, modern technologies are involved, which can significantly reduce the loss of precious heat. It’s about the insulation. It can have a different shape, and is made from various materials. It is sold by slabs and rolls. Actively applies a completely new pomping technology – ecovata. But still preference is more given to mineral wool. At high temperatures, mineral raw materials are melted, as a result of which this insulation is obtained. In addition to reliable maintenance of heat, mineral wool is opposed to the process of decay, combustion.
If the object of construction is not a residential building, but a utility room, then foam can serve as a heater. It will not be possible to lay a roll insulation on their own – several assistants are required. You can independently lay out mats in which the material of the insulation is formed. When carrying out the installation of insulation, you need to clearly follow the selected technology. Such actions will provide the maximum result. The erected house will be warm and comfortable.
Vapor barrier
It is applied to the inside of the wall of the frame house. To attach the roll canvas to the frame, a stapler is used. The room may increase, which affects the walls. Therefore, a layer of vapor barrier must be mounted with due diligence and accuracy. At the seams and joints, gaps must not be allowed. You should always give preference to a more durable material for vapor barrier. It will not be damaged during installation, which will positively affect the process.
Even if you have to hire a team of professionals, you need to constant control over the construction process. After all, having put the house into operation and received the money earned, the workers will calmly leave the object, and their mistakes can only be felt in winter. Therefore, errors should be corrected directly during construction.
