Assembling a frame house with an attic: step by step instruction
Step 1: preparation of the foundation
It is natural that for any structure the most important element is the foundation on which the entire structure will stand. For a frame house, two types of foundation are suitable: shallow, ribbon and columnar.
For a basement foundation, medium-density soils are necessary, in which the belt is buried at 35-40 cm, and a layer of sand and reinforcing material must be spilled, allowing ventilation for the foundation.
The size of the tape can be up to 30 cm, and the plinth up to 50 cm. For the frame house, you can use the old foundation from another building if it is made in accordance with the requirements.
The columnar foundation is used less often, as a rule, on unsteady or submerged soils. It allows you to raise the building higher and securely fasten it in the ground.
Step 2: erecting the walls of
One algorithm of building a wireframe residential structure should not be used, as there are a lot of projects for creating a variety of variations of attic houses. You can buy such a designer for the attic assembly, which is accompanied by a guide to the installation, but without consulting a specialist, you probably will not be able to deliver it.
If you decide to install a frame-panel house, then you will need plates with a size of 2x3 m( standard).This type of construction provides for the installation of a prepared frame to the surface of the upper floor and fixing it with beams, plates and boards.
For this you will need:
- Wooden beams
- Cutting boards for wall covering
- Mounting foam
- Ruberoid for waterproofing joints
- Fasteners
Next you need to calculate the number of building racks, which for a typical house 9x11 mm will require 38 m. The position of the racks should be ona distance of 1.3 m along the entire length, and, consequently, it will be necessary to purchase 4-5 beams with a section of 120x160 mm. In turn, horizontal racks require fewer beams - 3-4.
The board for construction should be thick with 2.5 cm and a width of 16 cm.
If there are no plans to make window openings in the attic, the number of beams is 4.5 m3.When choosing boards it is worthwhile to pay attention to the possible drying of the tree. On this depends on the price of the board.
During the erection of walls, perform a good waterproofing with a ruberoid, which should be laid on the foundation and when laying the beams.
The fixing points are fixed with nagels for fixing corner and wall fasteners and longitudinal bridges.
When the frame is securely assembled. You can begin to cover the main material of the wall, close the window and doorways. For the latter, jumper bars should be placed in the beam to provide a better anchorage.
Step 3: Insulate the walls of
For the correct thermal insulation of the walls, the newest materials are provided, among which the most popular are, in particular, mineral wool and polystyrene foam. Each process of insulation includes the laying of waterproof insulation, which should be lapped, fastened with wooden rails. After that, you can perform the lining of the inner walls of the building with a pile board.
Step 4: installation of the attic
Carry out the frame from the same materials as the walls of the house and using the same technology. The assembly takes place on the same principle, according to which the first floor of the frame house was also assembled - that is, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Special attention is paid to the insulation of the attic when installing the attic, since without them, this room can not be residential due to an unhealthy microclimate. The obligatory moment for assembling the house is the installation of a reflective film, under which the thermal insulation is placed. It is important to make the maximum heat, steam and waterproofing of the space under the roof.
It is also worth considering the possibility of a large load on the walls, which can be avoided due to the ease of construction materials.
Step 5: roofing for the frame house
You can calculate the slope and height of the profile during the installation of the finished frame. In the instructions to the frame structure, parameters are prescribed, but it does not hurt to consult with a specialist.
For example, the ratio of walls in the house is 1: 3 means that the roof will be 3 meters high with a wall height of 1 m.
Naturally, the roof material is purchased in accordance with the available means.
Installation of the roof begins with a "cap", which has the form of the letter "A" and is attached inside and outside. It is covered with a heat-insulating film with heat-insulated material, leaving a gap for ventilation of the attic.
A roof can be covered with such a reliable roofing material that is very popular today, like metal or metal profiles, if there are no other preferences. This solution is reliable and durable, and does not hit hard enough.

In conclusion, it should be said that a correctly installed warm and comfortable house with a loft will serve for a very long time, will occupy a relatively small space on the site and will make the interior of the room romantic and practical at the same time.
House project with attic
A frame house with an attic is very economical in terms of using building materials. If properly erected, you can ensure maximum protection from moisture and other weather conditions.
If you do not want to build a new house with an attic, it can be attached to an old residential building or cottage. This will increase the living space and keep the heat in the house, which is often pulled through the attic of the .
