Building a frame house — a controversial item. Many do not believe in advertising that promises the construction of the house cheaply and in a short time, others doubt the frame technology itself, having seen enough of the queen Soviet dachas. In addition, Khrushchevskoye “quickly and cheap” does not inspire a choice in favor of economical construction, even in a western manner.
In many respects, the fears that are expressed about the inappropriate quality and low durability of frame buildings are justified by the experience of exploitation by real people, and not the marketing of manufacturers. The construction of a frame house, along with cheapness and speed, can bring some inconvenience inherent in economy class housing. The main disadvantages were presented by the site . Invait. by company Odo Invight Invest engaged in the construction of houses.
The most relevant shortcomings
Weak noise isolation. Indeed, frame dwellings are often very noisy due to improper ventilation and incorrect installation of partitions. So do not listen to sellers who assure that the frame house is much superior to Khrushchev in sound insulation. Perhaps somewhere in Europe good frame suburban houses are being built for the summer, but they are definitely not suitable for a permanent life in the city of a large family uniting people with different interests.
Unacceptable level of wall moisture. Frame houses are built from an insufficiently well -processed tree, which is moist in the buildings, and the walls are affected by the fungus. Owners of frame houses need to be prepared for constant processing of walls with special compounds such as copper sulfate.
Fire risks in light frame structures are incomparably higher than in brick or stone houses. Technically frame houses are made of wood soaked in glue, which supports burning well. It is very important for residents to be superbudicial in relation to electrical appliances, wiring and sources of open fire.
Bad air exchange in frame houses. Sometimes you can hear that the frame panels do not breathe, which creates a bad microclimate in the room. Together with increased moisture content of the walls on which the fungus parasitizes, the room may appear in the rooms due to the fact that the walls do not take moisture from raw air, and do not give moisture if the air is too dry. It turns out a standing, unpleasant air, from which the mood and wooden furniture deteriorate.
Instability. It is enough to give a well -known example from a fairy tale about three piglets from childhood. The wolf in it conducted tests for the strength of houses built using different technologies. Only stood the stone, and the rapidly far -made frame buildings fell with disgrace.
Fragility. Needless to say, a house built using frame technology is unlikely to be just as long as the Kremlin or Coliseum. Manufacturers of building materials for frame houses guarantee their operating time of only about a hundred years. Is it enough for a family house — you decide.
Of course, not all frame houses and technologies of their buildings are the same. For example, you can build a turnkey cottage from SIP panels. He is deprived of the indicated shortcomings. Read about it here . However, giving an assessment of proper quality for capital construction in a certain area is not always equivalent. We have doubts that are based on negative experience in frame buildings, suitable for summer cottage construction.
