Types of frame houses
Frame houses are gaining popularity among the inhabitants of Russia. They are strong, reliable, durable and most importantly warm. In countries such as the USA and Canada, frame houses have been built for 100 years and many are still standing. The advantages of frame houses are that you do not need to spend a lot of money on building a stone house, it is easier and cheaper to build a frame and then sheathe it! Yes, and it is not so difficult to insulate, modern materials make it possible to achieve resistance to freezing like a wall of 3 - 5 bricks. But not all frames are the same, there are several basic types. Some are more expensive, but stronger, some are cheaper. Today's article is about the types of such houses ...
1)
The cheapest of all. The frame of such a house consists of wooden beams. If you want to live in such a house only in the summer, then a wall 100 mm thick will be enough for you, that is, a beam is taken 100 mm (width) by 50 mm (height). If you are building a house for everyday - year-round living, then you need to think about the insulation of such a house, it is advisable to take a bar 150 - 200 mm (width) and 100 mm (height). The wooden frame has the lowest price, about 6000 rubles. Also, work with a bar is quite easy, you do not need to use any welding machines, everything can be cut with ordinary saws, and also screwed with a screwdriver. However, after installing such a frame, it is necessary to process it with the help of special compounds from decay and from fire (read the article, there in more detail). Therefore, the cost of a house with a wooden frame is the lowest. Service life up to 100 years.
2)
Made from metal. Usually corners are taken - a channel - or a square pipe. Such a frame is even stronger than a wooden one. Metal elements are welded by welding, and form an integral and very durable frame. However, it is difficult to work with such material, you need a welding machine (a professional welder), special equipment is needed for cutting. Therefore, such a house costs more than a wooden frame about twice. A ton of square pipe costs about 40,000 rubles. Such a frame can be painted with special paint, then the destruction of the frame (rust) will go much more slowly. Service life up to 150 years.
3)
Houses made of light steel structures (more in the article). The most promising direction It is made from a light steel profile (moreover, a profile from). Such a profile is not only light, but also very resistant to the external environment, it is destroyed for a long time, and therefore such houses, in theory, can stand for up to 200 years. It is also easy to work with such a profile, it is easy to cut, and you can screw “self-tapping screws” into it just like into a tree, with an ordinary screwdriver. The cost of LSTC per ton is also about 40,000 rubles.
