The construction of houses is so diverse that the ability to build your own house is no longer a luxury. Frame and monolithic, brick and from a bar, aerated concrete and slag block, but they will never compete with a stone house. Durable, reliable, natural natural material – stone.
Construction of stone houses: the main advantages
The advantage of such houses is that they do not require leaving them do not need to be faced with additional materials. They are not affected by a fungus, mold and retain their appearance with any environmental influences for centuries. The walls of stone houses are built in thickness up to 60 cm, this allows you to hold coolness in the summer, and warmth in winter.
Stone, the material is not combustible, which suggests that at home the material built from this material is 100% resistant to fire.
The foundation of such a house should be strong to withstand the load of heavy stone walls. For the installation of the foundation, a thorough examination of the soil is required to clarify the degree of freezing. The foundation is made massive in a depth of at least one and a half meters.
The current construction prefers houses of brick and aerated concrete, calling them stone.
Stone house construction technology
During the construction of houses from brick and aerated concrete, the same technology is used as from the stone, but the development period will be much less, since a brick and aerated concrete is easier than a stone and does not take a lot of effort during construction. A powerful foundation, soil examination, but unlike a stone house from natural stone, they need an external decoration. At home from these materials, I can do without it, but after 20-30 years they also need a finish, since under the influence of the environment they are destroyed. The roof of brick and aerated concrete houses is made on wooden floors, and iron beams can be used on the walls of the house of natural stone.
The interior decoration of stone houses from aerated concrete and brick is simply necessary as after building the wall in the house look ugly. Houses made of natural stone is not necessarily. Beautiful natural stones will be addition to the decor of any room. Lamps, living plants on the walls or interior with metal forging, all this can be applied to the beauty of natural stone. A rich in beauty material natural stone can become the basis of any interior both inside the house and outside. It was such houses that have been talked about for centuries – “My house, my fortress”.
