When purchasing a land plot for construction, more and more often its owners prefer to build on it not a classic stone structure, but panel or frame house. Meanwhile, advisors and reviews on sites often warn them about the disadvantages of such buildings for permanent residence. So how reliable is this type of housing? What real disadvantages does this technology have? [contents]
If you look specifically, negative properties can be found anywhere, including in brick buildings and in multi-storey panel buildings. But it is worth paying attention to individual disadvantages of the construction of frame structures in order to reduce or eliminate them as much as possible at the construction level. Let's dwell on the advantages and disadvantages of frame structures.
It is considered one of the main disadvantages of the frame structure. Yes, such a problem actually exists - the chance that the dwelling will last for hundreds of years is rather small. And what can prevent him, except for a physical impact such as a meteorite that collapsed on him? Most of all in buildings of this type, time affects the insulation located in the outer walls. But this factor can be fought. About once every 30 years, it is simply replaced.
To do this, remove the skin of the frame from the inside, the vapor barrier film, carefully remove all the unusable insulation, place a new one instead, return the vapor barrier and finish to their original place. And the home will become cozy and warm again.
Decay. This negative quality can be mentioned, but it is worth noting that it may be the result of the unfairness of the material manufacturers or builders. To mount raw structures into a frame and expect them to remain pristine white and bright is a big arrogance.
All wooden elements must be protected. Treatment with antiseptics should be carried out even at the stage of erection of the power frame itself. After all, when it is closed with external and internal finishing, it will take a little more effort to process it, and this event will cost much more.
If we compare a wooden structure with a building, the ceilings and walls of which are made of concrete blocks or bricks, then the first one will have significantly lower sound insulation performance. But this problem, like many others, is completely solvable.Applying modern soundproofing materials, and using special construction technologies, you can completely neutralize this disadvantage. You can get rid of both impact noise and airborne noise. For this, various methods are used: untie the supporting frame and interfloor floors, the use of good insulation and noise-absorbing materials.
The latter include thick lined linoleum, carpet, etc.
For interior decoration, drywall is often used, which also includes not only substances of natural origin.
Although the problem of rodents is relevant for all private households, regardless of the type of buildings. In a frame house, an excellent way to resist rodents is to use a special insulating material in the ceilings of the lower floor - ecowool. Borax, which is part of the material, has not only an antiseptic effect, but also interferes with the vital activity of rats and mice.
Especially if the ventilation device is poor, or the dew point is incorrectly calculated. In secluded areas under wallpaper, behind skirting boards, near window sills or in a corner, foci of mold may appear. The likelihood of its occurrence increases in a hermetically closed room, without drafts. After all, the panels cannot "breathe" like the walls of a log house, and need ventilation. Forced ventilation or airing, as well as high-quality processing of building materials with an antiseptic against fungus, will prevent the formation of mold.
But, apart from the disadvantages, frame structures have a lot of obvious and advantageous advantages. It's not for nothing that their active construction has been going on for so many years in European countries and American houses in the USA.
Nothing is ideal, the more difficult it is to imagine a completely ideal home. American citizens are extremely easy-going, and often change their place of residence.
The inhabitants of Europe are more conservative, treating the house as a family nest, often serving as a dwelling for several generations.
But both are choosing a similar type of development.In Europe, America and Scandinavia, the number of private and public buildings erected using frame technology is growing. If the disadvantages of this method were really so significant, it is unlikely that this method would have gained such popularity. What are the advantages of structures built using frame technology?
Such a building is quite stable, and not too sensitive to possible seasonal movements of the foundation, arising from the heaving of the soil.
In addition, wood is flexible enough to withstand deformation without breaking.
With proper care, the house is guaranteed a period of 50 years, careful care extends this period to 100.
The presence of a variety of projects, the ability to choose a suitable one or implement your own project. Each finished project comes with a detailed implementation plan to help guide the construction.
The risk of disappointment is present in everything, it can happen with a built house. This can be facilitated by poor-quality materials, not too conscientious or unskilled workers, violation of the sequence of events, damage to materials from improper storage. However, if you follow the technology, adhere to the necessary standards, choose high-quality materials, then the built house will faithfully serve your family for many years.
