House from a bar for two families: the benefits

It is always worthwhile to approach the construction of your house responsibly and scrupulously in order to choose the most optimal, most comfortable, most reliable and safe option. An important factor when choosing a project and material for construction is the economic component, as well as further operating costs.

As a variant of a rational solution, you can consider designs of houses from a cant for two families. Such an option can be especially attractive for people who are in close relationship, but living in separate families, for example, adult children and parents.

Two-family house: pleasant company and economic benefits

In addition to the psychological and emotional moment - everything is near, but absolutely no one interferes with anyone and lives their own lives - such houses and cottages have, above all, economic attractiveness both at the construction stage and in the further operation of the object.

As a rule, a house from a bar for 2 families is designed as a mirror: a common wall separates two apartments with separate exits. There are options for sharing common or business premises, and variations in the layout of each part of the house are also allowed.

During the construction phase, the savings are due to:

• reducing the length of the walls and foundation, respectively;
• reduce the area of ​​the roof;
• exterior wall areas that need exterior finish.

During operation, you can reduce costs:

• on heating and hot water supply;
• on the use and maintenance of common engineering networks and communications;
• in case of joint use of a land plot, its area is doubled, etc.

If we consider and take as a basis the projects of houses from a bar for 2 families, then in the end one can get one of the most economical houses. Depending on the material and method of construction, the construction of the structure can be carried out as soon as possible. The main thing is to observe the terms of precipitation, as recommended by the instructions, while it is worth considering that they differ for different types of lumber.

Advantages of the construction of complete timber houses

Many companies offer for the house for 2 families projects from timber, as well as the most complete set of building and finishing materials. In this case, the construction can be carried out by a company, it can be built independently or by hiring a carpenters team.

You can purchase a complete set of building materials for the finished project.

Then the package includes everything that you may need:

• all windows and doors;
• if the project of a house from a bar for two families involves a second floor or an attic, a wooden staircase is usually included in the package.

Typically, the assembly of such buildings is not particularly difficult, it is performed quickly: up to 1-2 months. If the construction will be carried out with his own hands, you should use the service from the company to support the construction.

By purchasing a finished project of a house from a bar for 2 families, it is possible to greatly facilitate the entire construction process, in addition, it has an obvious benefit, since:

• the complete set of materials is delivered to the site at the same time;
• unloading operations are carried out;
• a package of project documentation is provided with reference to the terrain.

In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.

Terms of construction and main stages

The construction of any object involves several stages.

Start of construction

The first or the initial stage should be devoted to the planning of the territory, although sometimes this stage is ignored by developers, and work is carried out after the construction of the house. Proper territory planning allows the most efficient use of the area, taking into account all its geological features, the main wind directions and other factors.

The next stage is the design, you can independently develop your own project, based on the finished one, or use a standard one, but in any case it makes sense to contact the architectural bureau to get specialists to perform the binding on the terrain.

Stages and methods of construction

Foundation arrangement.

1. type selection:

• tape - shallow, with a base of 40 cm;
• screw - recommended for difficult soils and high groundwater levels;
• Pile - can be used as an alternative to tape or in conditions similar to the screw version;

1. using the base plate or slab on piles, as well as FBS blocks.

Attention! In modern private construction FBS blocks are used less and less. They are sometimes economically justified, but may require the involvement of special equipment.

Walling.

A bar with a cross section of at least 150 × 150 mm is recommended for this:

• to reduce the cost of construction, you can use a non-planed timber with a natural moisture level, with simultaneous laying of insulation between the crowns, for example, double-layer lnovatin;
• To create a comfortable environment in the house, it is recommended to use a “warm corner” beam joining; (See also the article Docking beam by length - options for connections)
• crowns should be fastened with dowels.

Arrangement of interior partitions.

The sequence of work:

• used timber section of 150? 150 mm, 100? 100 mm, 150? 100 mm;
• between the crowns is also recommended to use insulation in the form of gaskets;
• docking with bearing walls is done with a T-joint or frame.

Creating overlaps consists of the following actions.

1. Floor coverings:
2. lags from unplaned timber (150? 50 or 150? 100) with a step from 500 to 700 mm;
3. the device of a draft floor can be executed a cut board (see also article the Cut timber and its role in civil engineering)
4. for interfloor or mansard floors:
5. timber of the same type and section as for the floor, but with a permissible pitch of 1000 mm.

Roof device:

• it is made of rafter 150? 50 mm, step 1000 mm;
• for sheathing, you can use a 25-mm edged board in 300 mm increments.

Advantages and disadvantages of houses from different types of timber

Glued and profiled timber is a material that does not need external finishing.

Although the price of these products is much higher than the usual unplaned bar, their use is largely justified by higher performance:

• the best heat and sound insulation properties;
• antiseptic, fireproofing treatment;
• moisture resistance;
• more simple and easy installation;
• high strength characteristics and reliability;
• enhanced seismic resistance;
• the structure is not subject to large and noticeable shrinkage, all work can be completed within a few months;
• aesthetically attractive appearance.

Houses from glued beams

You can consider the project of a house from a bar for 2 families of glued products, which is a finished facade material. Often, interior decoration of walls is also not required, since this type of timber is a good basis and background for various interior solutions.

It should be noted that houses made of glued timber for 2 families can be attributed to buildings erected according to innovative technology. Since this material, retaining all the advantages of wood, is endowed with new qualities and is almost devoid of the disadvantages of natural wood and is produced according to the most advanced technologies.

Insulated timber: quality characteristics

One of the achievements can be considered the appearance of insulated timber, which has unique heat-conducting properties and excellent sound insulation. Structurally, this material has much in common with sandwich panels, and lamellae are related to glued laminated timber.

As the top layer and insulating gasket between them, it happens:

• single chamber;
• batch;

as a heater is used:

• ecowool or cellulose composition;
• polystyrene foam (polyurethane foam) filler.

The main quality characteristics of glued laminated timber

The cost of building a box of glued laminated timber is certainly much higher than the cost of non-planed material, but the choice must be made based on all the factors and nuances.

Sometimes, initially, a substantial excess of the estimate for materials may turn into a compensation benefit from the further operation of the facility.

Advantages of glued lumber over analogues

A house built of laminated veneer lumber can be attributed to the second level of fire safety. Even in the factory it is processed with special impregnations and refractory compounds.

Protection from various putrefactive processes is provided by wood preservation and drying. Such treatment of timber from rotting eliminates the likelihood that the structure can lead, and also guarantees against the formation of cracks in the material itself.

All formulations are safe for use in residential buildings and do not pose a threat to the health of people and pets. The house of glued laminated timber maintains a constant humidity and a favorable microclimate. And the appearance can contribute to the fact that the house will become an architectural landmark of a country village.

As a rule, timber is used for low-rise construction, and the use of a glued product with higher strength characteristics allows building structures to a height of fifteen meters.

Attention! When buying, you should carefully study the information on which compounds were used for protection and impregnation, check the certificates from the seller. And of course, given the increasing demand, there is a chance to buy products at best not corresponding to the declared quality, and at worst - a dubious fake.

Conclusion

It should always be borne in mind that there are no absolutely perfect building materials, therefore some disadvantages can be found among the properties and characteristics of glued laminated timber.

For example, despite the fact that this timber is a finished material for a facade that does not require finishing, this does not exclude the need for its periodic updating. On average, once every few years, depending on local climatic conditions. You can use paints and varnishes for this material.

Glued laminated timber has unique properties, but non-observance of the technological process can negate all the qualities. Therefore, it is necessary to involve in the work of specialists with experience with this material.
