Construction Of Frame Houses

The technology frame construction in contrast to the log house in which the load-bearing elements are the walls. In frame buildings, performs this function of the entire island or laminated wood. Inside and outside the frame sheathed with sheet or molded material, and the inside is filled with insulation. There are several options for rack mounting: the starting point may be a floor on which the vertical elements are installed or post-and-beam system, which rests on the foundation. Most often used a framework consisting of upper and lower studs of the walls, pillars and beams, strut stiffness, as well as supporting elements – columns and intermediate beams, between which the door and window frames. On a foundation or base, on top of the waterproofing layer is placed and secured with steel anchors of the lower rail, made of carefully dried and antiseptized softwood timbers. Fixed-bearing and corner posts.

Cross section of the last to be not less than 5 sq. cm, the length is determined by the height of a floor, and width – thickness of insulation. On risers fit cantrail. After installing the frame sheathe, insulation and vapor barrier is mounted. The layers are placed in the following order: inner sheathing, vapor barrier, insulation, windproof layer and outer skin. Each element of the pie performs a specific function, so the lack of or poor quality, even laying one layer affects the quality of the whole structure. The inner lining of the walls serves as the basis for the finish.

It can run of boards every section and profile, drywall, DSP, magnesium and other sheet materials, approved by the sanitary standards for residential premises. In the “wet zone” (bathrooms, bathrooms, kitchens) for the inner cladding moisture-resistant materials are used. Vapor barrier protects the thermal insulator from the effects of water vapor coming from the premises. This option is very important, because insulation when wet, its thermal insulation properties greatly reduced. As a vapor barrier uses a special membrane film that is installed between the insulation and inner lining of premises. For the insulation layer is windproof, protects wall of blowing, and siding. First frame is sheathed with weatherproof materials (DSP, GreenBoard), then they stuffed the membrane film and kontrbrus, and then attached the external cladding (siding, imitation timber). The outer coating has several functions, in addition to the aesthetic, providing rigidity and protection of the building structural elements of weather. The air gap provides ventilation throughout the structure, protects wood from moisture and heat insulation. Even a brief account of the principles of construction of a frame house reveals a number of advantages of such houses. First of all, the most economical construction: Wood spent less than for the construction of the log or square log houses. Light weight and stability of a frame house allows you to use lighter foundation. frame houses. Another plus of these structures – open plan interiors. The modern frame house – high-tech product. He comes to the consumer in the form of the box, which includes elements of the walls and floors, roof construction, windows, doors, insulation, fixing materials, membrane film, etc. To build a frame house takes 2-3 months, then you are ready for interior decoration.
