A few years ago I was taken aback by the construction of the attic floor in the house. How and what built attic, as well as what criteria the selection of materials - this is my story. I will also give an assessment to use the solution in the first three years of operation.

The attic floor is used the attic space under a pitched roof. The cold attic is different:

  • Insulation and the presence of a heat source (Read - the possibility of year-round);
  • The presence of the vertical side walls a height of not less than half a meter.

In terms of housing legislation is a living room, a tax-free par with full floor of the House.

The entire ceiling of the attic or a portion thereof may have a slope formed by the rafters. For reasons of saving of useful space ceiling finishing sutured directly to the truss structure.

For the same reason, the practice of building a broken line or a mansard roof: it allows you to get the maximum height of the ceiling in the central part of the room with a minimum height of the ridge.

Dano

At first, I will describe the situation at the start of construction.

design houses: Semi-detached house with a residential and ground floor, locked between the two buildings of greater height.

overlapping: Reinforced concrete slab.

Roof: Pent slate. Skat is directed along the long side of the house. The maximum height of the cold attic - 1.2 meters; bearing walls above the ceiling level above the first floor no.

construction budget: 400 000 rubles in prices of 2013. How are things going with the money after moving and buying a house - I think you can not explain. Accordingly, the main determining factor in choosing a material has its price.

Construction

Staircase and balcony

The second floor had no choice but to provide a separate entrance: strengthening plate overlaps with the subsequent installation of internal stairs would absorb a significant part of the budget.

Balcony and attic floor: view of the courtyard.

Balcony and attic floor: view of the courtyard.

The basis of the balcony design became the steel frame:

  • Stands - a pipe diameter of 108 mm;
  • beams - Area 100x50 mm;
  • Joists under the deck - Area 50x50 mm.
The picture shows the partially visible skeleton balcony - pillars and beams under the deck.

Stairs - spiral:

  • Tread of steps I made of colored rubber waterproofing paint plywood 12 mm thick;
  • Flooring balcony - laid out in 2-3 layers of oriented strand board;
  • Seams between sheets of OSB were covered with ground coat, and the flooring is painted the same rubber paint.

evaluation: Design needs work.

  1. Leaking in securely seemingly embedded sheathing joints water made OSB rot. Flooring should be changed. To replace I plan to use laminated plywood 21 mm thick impregnated with binding ends of hot linseed oil;
Flowing water through the seams made flooring sheets to swell and rot.

Flowing water through the seams made flooring sheets to swell and rot.

  1. A spiral staircase looks good, but it is very inconvenient to carry dimensional materials (the same CAP) and furniture. Who would you prefer a straight staircase in two flights.

Roof

For truss system was purchased bar section 100x50 mm. Roof - broken line; roof inclination angle varies from 20 to 70 degrees to the horizontal. Rafters tied to each other bolts.

Compound crossbars with rafters and between rafters is performed with bolts or pins with wide washers. Screws do not provide a sufficiently reliable connection between the bars.

Compound crossbars with rafters: boards bolt and nut are tightened with wide washers.

Role fulfilled mauerlat beams, laid directly on the floor slab and fastened them with screw anchors.

Purlins under roofs: 25 mm thick boards, arranged transversely to the ridge purlin rafters in parallel. According crate stacked on the roof waterproofing membrane.

Roof: The role of roofing material has been selected trapezoidal sheet. He is much cheaper metal and differs from it by the absence of transverse waves. Taking into account the slope of the roof, this wave, excluding leaking water on the sheets overlap, it was not needed.

For fixing profiled sheet correspond screws with rubber pressshayboy.

Roofing material - steel sheet. It is attached to the sheathing roof screws with rubber pressshayboy.

Warming: Bilayer. Directly under strongly heated stowed roof 50-mm layer of mineral wool. The foam of the same thickness vrasporku installed between the rafters; gaps in the insulation zapeneny.

Vapor barrier: Furniture stapler stapled to the rafters.

evaluation: OK. The noise in the rain roof is almost completely absorbed by the two layers of insulation. The quality of insulation above all praise: when the summer sun is at its zenith, the air in the attic is not heated at all.

Window

From skylights in the roof, I decided to give two reasons:

  1. Vulnerability roof with roof window - waterproofing frame junction to the roof., Any violation will result in rotting rafters and insulation wetting;
From the window sealing quality depends on the service life of roof systems and insulation.

From the window sealing quality depends on the service life of roof systems and insulation.

  1. From the windows in the roof have a view of the walls of higher neighboring buildings. Accordingly, the window would provide an excellent overview of the interior of the attic rooms in my house with other people's roofs.

However, the view of the sea and mountains from the ends of the attic has to install the panoramic windows, and I decided that the gables of the attic floor are made of glass.

Harbor views from the second floor of my house. Of course, coming to this side of the gable of the attic needed in a large window.

area window: 26 square meters (two gable 13 m2).

profile system: Chinese profile Hautek. He loses a few more expensive Rehau and KBE in stiffness, but, nevertheless, resists perfectly characteristic of Sevastopol strong winter winds.

Manufacturer fittings: Siegenia-Aubi. On accessories is better not to save money: it is a period-free windows service depends on it.

Double-glazed windows: Single-chamber energy saving. They are one and a half times lighter dual chamber, which means less stress on the profile, and have 15-20% higher thermal resistance.

Energy-saving glazing transmits almost all visible light, but infrared radiation is delayed.

cost of60000 rubles in prices of 2013.

evaluation: Satisfactory. At the panoramic windows in the conditions of the Crimea it turned out some pretty significant drawbacks:

  1. At sunrise and sunset, when the sun shines through the windows, attic heats up;
  2. Room lighting is comfortable only on cloudy winter days. Sunny summers it is excessive and interferes see anything on the computer screen;
  3. attic decoration is visible from the neighboring buildings located above the slope.

As a result, large and provides an excellent overview of the window most of the year curtained blackout curtains.

Large panoramic windows the whole day closed with thick curtains.

trim

Construction and installation of attic windows were completed by the end of summer 2013, and I immediately proceeded to interior decoration.

Ceiling

I chose the false ceiling of plasterboard, fixed to the crate from the profile.

Picture And a description element
ylovrayloprylovp1 lathingCeiling and ceiling profiles, galvanized guide. The guiding profile is fixed with screws directly on the frames of windows, ceiling - the rafters and beams by means of direct suspensions.
ylovrayloprylovp2 hem: Plasterboard wall thickness of 12.5 mm. A more subtle and cheap ceiling drywall is easy to damage at the lowest parts of the ceiling: at the side walls of its height - no more than 2 meters.
ylovrayloprylovp3 Finishing wall connection: Foam ceiling moldings.
ylovrayloprylovp4 Painting: acrylic vodoemulsionku. Dye had 4 layers, fewer layers of translucent seams.

Paint any drywall construction can be at least two weeks after the sealing of the joints. Otherwise the seams will be highlighted in color with any number of layers of paint.

evaluation: Cracked at the seams does not appear for three years. The ceiling is completely retained its original appearance.

Plasterboard ceiling and the walls look the same as after the finish.

side walls

Material12-mm plywood. She hemmed screws directly to the posts, mounted under the rafters break.

Fine finishing: The walls are covered with wall panels made of MDF coated vinyl film. As adhesive may be used liquid nails, PVA or silicone sealant. I applied a spot-on silicone.

Finish coating walls - panels made of MDF with vinyl film on the front surface.

Built in furnitureSpace between sloping roof and the side walls of the attic is used for placing multiple niches and lockers.

Space for side walls used to accommodate the built-in cabinets and niches.

Space for side walls used to accommodate the built-in cabinets and niches.

evaluation: Great. Vinyl panels does not collect dirt and is easily washed from the traces of dirty little hands. Due to the minimum thickness of the walls of useful floor area of ​​the attic is almost diminished.

In a wooden house for finishing the external walls is better to use full battens, but not its imitation. Natural wood is permeable to air and does not interfere with gas exchange to the street.

The design of the attic in the country: for the walls and flow used pine paneling.

septa

Gypsum plasterboard partition walls in my attic perform two functions:

  1. Shared attic room (room and bedroom);
  2. Blanch therebetween WC.

Material partitions - wall GCR on the frame of the rack and the guide profile. For greater rigidity racks connected in pairs.

The partitions a pair of doors:

  • Between study and bedroom - metal, mirror glazing. It combines the functions of the door and mirrors;

evaluation: There are no cracks. Minor contamination on the painted surface there were only about a switch.

Floor

Basis floor - flooring from 15 mm OSB on logs. Supporting platforms lag fastened to the plates overlap is not quite usual - not anchors, and the mounting foam. By SIR paved surface of the substrate and moisture resistant foam laminate 32 class.

evaluation: Satisfactory. And not without drawbacks:

  • In some places, the floor creaks. Laghi better strengthen traditionally anchors;
  • Laminate "breathes", in winter, at low temperature and humidity between the boards appear slit. Who would you prefer quality laminate linoleum.
In winter, at low temperature and humidity, between laminate boards appear noticeable gap.

Ventilation

It is made compulsory: responsible for air bleed channel fan diameter of 100 mm and a capacity of 105 cubic meters per hour. The main volume of air is taken through the ceiling bathrooms, lower part - in the space between the roof and ceiling.

Return air enters through the four vent grille disposed on the perimeter of the ceiling.

material duct: Sewer pipe diameter of 110 mm, laid over rafters tightening bolt.

Venting of the street: Through the gable on one of the windows.

evaluation: OK. The air is always fresh, odors and dampness in the bathroom available. Condensation on windows does not appear even in the most severe cold.

Heating, air-conditioning

The last stage was the installation arrangement of the attic in her performance inverter air conditioner 12000 BTU (4,1 kW heat output). He is also responsible for heating in winter and air conditioning in the summer air. Instructions to the device allows it to work on the heating at -25 ° C on the outside, which is quite enough for the soft climate of the Crimean.

evaluation: Great. The air conditioner minus 20 supported in the attic area of ​​60 square meters quite comfortable + 20 ° C. Summer heat also is not terrible: at +35 in the street and bright sun beating through the window in my office the temperature never rose above 25.

The only source of heat in the attic area of ​​60 squares - inverter air conditioner.
