Recently, in our country, combined country houses are becoming increasingly widespread. What are such housing, and what should be taken into account in its construction?
The choice of wall materials is always difficult. Dreaming of a natural atmosphere in the house? Choose a tree! Want durability and thoroughness? In this case, a stone is ideal. And if you want to combine elements of naturalness, aesthetics and strength? If the thorough choice causes a lot of disputes, in this case they compromise – build a house in which different types of wall materials are combined. Let’s talk about the most common combinations that are popular with modern homeowners. Most combined scraps involve the use of such impeccable material as a tree. Although for the sake of fairness it is worth saying that any wooden cottage is a combined. Nobody has been building at home for piles for a long time, the foundation will certainly be concrete or brick. Basement floors in suburban construction are not erected from wood, and the ceilings are most often installed in the form of reinforced concrete plates. Despite the fact that wood is well -known material, its main drawback is a very strong instability to moisture. Soil moisture is a particular danger, which over time changes the characteristics of the tree, as a result of which the wall structures are damaged. That is why, the first floors should be built from stone materials.
Today, many areas offer popular offers such as an exit bar, and in construction a combined house, the first floor of which is built of monolithic concrete, and the second of glued bars. The durability and strength of concrete monoliths leave no doubt, and thermal conductivity leaves much to be desired. That is why the walls of the first floor need insulation, which can be produced using polystyrene or mineral wool foam. The walls of the second floors can be insulated at a minimum, depending on the size. As a result, the reliability and strength of the structure and the natural atmosphere are simultaneously ensured. There can be quite a lot of such combinations. Ceramic blocks or brick can be used for the construction of the first and basement floors. For the construction of the second floors and attic, it is advisable to choose various wooden wall materials – different types of logs, timber. Suitable sandwich panels on a wooden basis or carriage. Online purchases, home pies or the most popular house “Schalet” in Europe are already available to domestic consumers. Chalet is a building with a stone first floor and a powerful foundation. Wall material – brick, and glued or profiled timber. Chalets differs in its architectural features, due to the traditions of construction in the Alps.
