Housing problem is still one of the most acute in our country. Depending on their capabilities, mainly material, people are trying to solve it themselves, not hoping for the state. Despite the rich assortment of various building materials, more and more sympathy for individual developers is leaning towards prefabricated houses. Without going into details than it is caused( for example, by the continuous increase in inflation), we note that when choosing one way or another, everyone wants to make a housewarming as soon as possible.
Frame-panel houses from this point of view - the most suitable option. But before you consider the issue in more detail, you need to clarify - and what is meant by them? Often there is confusion in concepts, and often their direct substitution. The category of prefabricated buildings include buildings, the construction of which uses a variety of materials that are "sewed" on a pre-mounted frame. For example, different panels.
Difference of frame-panel structures - in the separation of the assembly stages at the place of assembly operations. The frame of the house itself is installed on the construction site. But the shields for it are manufactured in the enterprise, in accordance with the order made, and already assembled are delivered to the construction site, where the final "assembly" of the structure is made.
To understand the advantages and disadvantages of this technique is best, by analyzing the responses of those who already live in frame-panel houses. You can not categorically declare that this "this" is worse( or better) than "that".It is necessary to take into account many different factors: the availability of free space, time, the number of assistants, the climate of the region of residence, and similar things.
What is a "shield"
It is a frame that can be made of a bar or board. Inside is laid insulation, layers of hydro and vapor insulation, and the upper shell is made of a different material. They can be polished board, OSV boards, particle board, drywall and so on. Moreover, the lining of the front and back sides can be executed in different ways, at the request of the Customer.
Features of frame-panel houses
Speed of erection. As already mentioned, in fact, such a construction is the assembly of a large "designer" from pre-prepared parts. Difficulties this work does not represent, since all the boards have strictly defined dimensions. They are manufactured in accordance with the attached draft project of the future house. Therefore, such activities as cutting, sawing, fitting, caulking are completely excluded.
In addition, the boards are numbered in accordance with the same building plan, so they can not be confused with each other."Serious" The manufacturer even applies a detailed assembly instruction for his products. On average, it will take no more than 2 - 3 months to basically complete the construction.
Minimum amount of garbage. If you imagine any construction site, then it is an indispensable attribute of all sorts of construction and finishing works. And here there are two nuances:
- acquiring materials for the erection and finishing of the house, it is impossible to take into account everything. And the dimensions of the blanks often simply do not match the size of the installation site( laying).Therefore, the formation of waste - an objective reality, and they, by and large - is the developer's money, piled in the form of garbage. This should be taken into account when determining the economic feasibility of building a frame-panel house.
- an important question - where to take this garbage? After all, it can not be dumped anywhere. By the way, the relevant administrative sanctions are provided, up to criminal liability, for violations in the field of ecology. Many private developers have to spend both time and money to take out the waste and hand over to the landfill in the established order. This issue is especially relevant for residents of more or less large settlements.
Ability to work on a limited area. It should be taken into account that it will not be necessary to clutter the plot with building materials( crushed stone, sand, timber and so on).By the way, it will be necessary to still spend money on bringing them, unloading them, storing them.
Building strength. The frame "stumbles" so tightly that absolutely any deformations( transverse, longitudinal) are excluded. Such houses are capable of withstanding a great wind load, they have proven themselves in regions with increased seismic hazard.
No shrinkage. This is the "suffering" of buildings, the construction of which used wood. Therefore, it is possible immediately after the end of the construction work to begin to settle in a new place, continuing to finish the interior decoration.
If necessary, the simplicity of internal redevelopment.
Relatively light weight. This makes it possible to significantly save on the foundation, given that, on average, its cost can reach up to 25 - 30% of the total cost of the estimate. The use of a base of shallow type allows reducing the construction time. For such houses, you can choose any type of foundation, depending on the characteristics of the soil. This is one of the indicators of universality in application.
Low heat loss. And this is quite understandable, given the multi-layered structure of the shields. Therefore, in them, throughout the year, a favorable microclimate is maintained at an almost unchanged level. The design does not have such flaws as "cold bridges", loose connections "groove-spike" and the like. According to numerous reviews of the owners, their heating costs are about ¼ lower than those of neighboring block or brick houses.
For exterior decoration almost any material can be used.
Convenience of "disguise" of engineering communications. One of the problems that many developers face is that numerous pipes, shut-off valves, cables and wires are often simply or nowhere to be hidden, or it is rather difficult to do. Shield assembly greatly facilitates this task.
Recommendations
When selecting a project, it should be noted that any of its "originality" in the form of any architectural innovations significantly complicate the process of manufacturing panels. And this leads to a significant increase in their cost.
Many developers do not take into account the availability of free space on the construction site, as well as the possibility of unobstructed access to the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose such sizes of panels, the final weight of which would allow assembling the house without the use of mechanization means.
Before entering into a contract for the manufacture of panel panels, it is advisable to drive to the addresses for which houses have already been built from the products of this Manufacturer. Having talked with the owners, it becomes clear whether it makes sense to place an order in this company. By the way, bona fide companies themselves will offer a potential customer this option, since opinions and opinions of people - the most effective advertising. But if they start to "twist", then it is worthwhile to think, why?
For more confidence in the quality of products, you should visit at least a couple of times for production and see how the order is being executed. The Conscientious Maker will never interfere with this.
