On the basis of the frame

Vladimir Mikhailov A growing proportion of construction of country houses owned buildings on the basis of a framework. To date, very popular frame-panel houses. A novelty for the Russian market is a German technology Half-timbered houses. These two technologies are different, but the walls erected by them differ from the typical variants of the walls, based on - laying out blocks of stone or wooden carcass construction. The process of diffusion of such technologies is not unique to Russia, it is global. Fans continue to build log cabins, built massive brick walls, and through this building - into the millions. Nevertheless, the accelerating pace of life in the new millennium, as well as the increased mobility of the population forced to accelerate the construction of individual country house, as well as simplify the technology of its construction. After all, the first nice house on a skeleton? The fact that he built much faster than the same brick or wood. Imagine a modern young man who leads an active life, vigorously promoted through the ranks and, in general, as they say in a hurry to live. Will such a man venturing unfinished today, when laying the foundation, and enter the finished house in three years or four? It's clear: there will be. And because his choices will automatically stop on the frame or half-timbered technology that allows to build and decorate the house for the season. I must say that this type of houses built long ago, the first timber-framed buildings in Europe are looking at us from the darkness of the Middle Ages. To the present day came and the principle of building, which appeared at once in different countries, not only in Germany (although the "Half-timbered houses" - the German term). One of the main reasons for the rapid blossoming of this technology has become scarce and expensive wood. Stone houses - too costly, and built a long time, so people's choice fell on the frame, which served as the supporting structure and the voids between columns and beams frame filled with someone in that much. The main thing was - do not provide strength (load-bearing function was performed by a frame made of solid bars), and make sure that the house was warm in any weather. Wall insulation could be, for example, mixed with clay, reeds, twigs, straw - we have such walls are called adobe. In this life Walling could differ materially from the life of a skeleton, which stood fifty and a hundred or two hundred years. The very same insulation replaced in 15-20 years. After some time frame began to fill the stone, which seriously reduced the flammability of structures, and these houses have survived until today. The revival of Technology Half-timbered houses had at the end of the last century, and of course, not without the use of new building developments. Due to technological advances, the emergence of new high-quality materials, innovations in the construction of half-timbered houses have found new, improved form. Applying technology with proven reliability, and combining it with the achievements of modernity, designers and architects create a half-timbered splendor, striking variability. The variety of framed structures due to the fact that carriers are not walls, and a framework of beams and pillars made of laminated veneer lumber. Therefore, you can choose the location of glazing and solid walls. And in general: any sample project can have many variations. Another reason for the uniqueness of half-timbered houses is that due to the large glass area interior affects the appearance of the facade. Appearance of these buildings may also differ because of the chosen color of the Half-timbered houses: the white color frame makes the house more gentle and quiet, black - adds rigor and solidity. To date, half-timbered house is a high strength solid design unique style. As a carrier basis in modern half-timbered buildings is generally used, the frame of laminated veneer lumber softwood. The space between the bearing elements Half-timbered houses filled sandwich panels with environmentally friendly insulation or energy-efficient double-glazed windows. Frame of laminated veneer lumber produced at the factory. All elements of the skeleton are made on the automated line with high accuracy, after which they are treated with special preservatives shipping and shipped to the construction site. After mounting the bearing elements of construction are normally covered by special protective preservatives, which contain natural oils that protect the tree from direct sunlight and keep it dry, hard to take, and resistant to the insect. Plus half-timbered houses is also a lack of shrinkage of the building. This occurs because Frameworks itself has a reinforcing rib. Another feature of these houses is the lack of metal clamps that make the interior home less attractive. Basically, all the compounds half-timbered houses, wooden frame by the type of "thorn in the spine, and only where needed an additional guarantee of strength, use metal ties. Modern half-timbered houses are built on standard projects as well as on the individual satisfying the needs of the customer. American frame building frame houses - it is not only fast but also cost-effective, and most importantly - if you want can be literally put on the conveyor. And who have invented the world's first assembly line? That's right, American Ford. And since then, simplicity, functionality and commercialization of anything do not give Americans peace of mind. This also applies to frame houses, which are common in the U.S. and Canada, as nowhere else. America in the last century, rapidly grew rich and wealthy man, of course, does not want to live in high-rise "ant" - Give him a separate housing. To build a huge number of individual houses, building technology was needed that would meet several requirements: a short construction time, the ability to carry out work at any time of the year, performance, mass production components. And this technology is found - a frame building method has been chosen as the most suitable for urgent needs. As a supporting structure made wooden frame, fencing served chipboard or plywood, used for insulation of mineral wool. Light weight frame house has lowered the cost of the foundation and increase the speed of construction. In this case, the foundation could be even columnar, but it is very easy and fast with the drill, followed by pouring concrete drilled shafts. Typologically American skeleton resembled European Half-timbered houses, but there were also significant differences, in particular the frame members here have already been exposed to the outside and hid inside the structure. In modern frame houses of the American standard hardboard no longer apply - for skin use OSB - Oriented particle board. Specific options are explained OSB size and nature of stacking chips in three layers. The outer layers are formed by chips, oriented along the long side of the finished plate. In the inner layer of wood chips is placed at right angles. In fact, oriented strand board - a "better wood, more durable and flexible than usual, due to the retention of a flat chips of all the useful properties of solid wood and the lack of defects such as knots and changing the direction of fibers in connection with the natural growth conditions tree. In addition, the production of this material precluded the use of harmful substances, which also contributes to its popularity among builders and homeowners. As an effective insulation material used not only mineral or basalt wool, but also such modern materials such as extruded polystyrene foam. The exterior walls of a frame house covered by a special windproof membrane, after which the facade is finished with decorative plaster, siding, facing bricks, natural stone or other finishing materials - depending on your choice of architectural style and financial capabilities of the customer. Communication in such a house, as a rule, "hide" inside walls with their construction or on the same assembly line, which produced large panels - or rather, ready to house wall with windows, doors, pipes, wires, etc., Russian continuation of this type construction, it must be said, in ancient times for our country were not characterized by - an abundance of wood allowed to build without a problem log and even the huge palaces of solid wood. But in Peter's time and we kind of lip service to the Dutch tradition of framing the sample. There was a sort of fashion for half-timbered houses, in particular, they appeared in Sheremetev Kuskovo estate and Ostankino. But most of them to this day, unfortunately, did not survive. But today, half-timbered houses are starting to build contrary to popular belief, if such buildings due to the large glass area is not suitable for the Russian winter. Because the glass is used as a high-quality energy-saving glass, to substantially reduce the heat loss and, consequently, the cost of heating homes. Again, everyone knows that the warmest home - from the "sandwich" panels - due to construction and use of modern heaters. In addition, the construction of all the half-timbered houses, usually equipped with heated floors, as well as the laws of physics of warm air rises, the floors are the best way to heat all the space at home - from floor to second floor. This property, by the way, do not have houses with stove or convector heating because the air layers near the floor is not heated. Today in Russia there are several companies involved in construction on the half-timbered technology is still new to us. Half-timbered houses, some companies are doing is completely in Russian, others purchase materials abroad, and others cooperate with foreign companies and to actively take over their experience. Anyway, half-timbered building is actively developing, acquiring more and more popular among Russian consumers. Until recently, half-timbered houses in Russia were a luxury item, affordable only elected. Now, with the development of this technology, housing and more detailed study of our specialists, home of the Half-timbered houses becoming more affordable, but still belong to the class of "elite". Many houses being built and other frame technology, in particular panel frame houses, parts of which are manufactured in the factory. If three years ago in Russia worked only one such production, now has several. Accordingly, there is a lot of panel-frame houses in the suburbs of large cities, and their prices - if not falling, then, in any case, do not grow as fast as the houses of other types. Without a doubt, an army of adherents of these technologies over the years will increase. Construction of low-rise buildings based on the framework - this is our present and certainly future. This elite, so popular in Germany, half-timbered houses, and cost - frame-based sandwich panels. Today, wanting to buy a country house more often give preference to those technologies, and for good reason. Home-based Half-timbered houses, or frame panels each year to consumers confirm their reliability and durability. Technology is constantly evolving, and, for example, it is possible that wooden Half-timbered houses in the near future to replace Half-timbered houses from other materials.
