The Gnezdom company has been building frame houses from timber for more than 10 years. The 6x8 frame house project attracts with its durability, reliability, heat saving, affordable price, high quality materials and workmanship. This type of housing has a number of advantages:
- environmental friendliness and safety;
- natural ventilation and air exchange;
- construction in a short time;
- the ability to perform work all year round;
- availability of components.
Designers and engineers will calculate the optimal number of load-bearing and enclosing beams for structural strength. Openings for windows and doors are installed in the finished frame. The inside of the house is insulated with mineral wool. To improve vapor permeability and air exchange with the environment, a diffusion membrane and a vapor barrier are used inside the walls. The membrane retains moisture from the outside, and the vapor barrier regulates internal evaporation.
How much does a 6x8 frame house cost?
The price of frame houses depends on the materials used, area and complexity of the structure. Gnezdom managers will calculate the preliminary cost and duration of work depending on the client’s order.
Foam block is a modern building material that is very popular. This is explained by the fact that it has many advantages, among which it is worth highlighting low cost, reliability, durability, environmental friendliness and more. Using this material, you can build any structure in the shortest possible time. Particular attention should be paid to the project of a 6x8 country house made of foam blocks with drawings. Despite its small size, this house is very convenient and easy to use.
Construction of houses from blocks is in great demand
The main feature of the material is that it has significant dimensions. With the help of such blocks you can build a house in a short time. In this case, the process does not require a large number of workers. As a result, this will not only allow you to quickly get the home of your dreams, but also save on construction costs. With certain skills and knowledge, you can do all the work yourself.
Foam blocks have certain sizes
It will take a little time to build a small house. Often just a few months are enough. After constructing the box, you can immediately begin wiring engineering systems and finishing work. This is an undoubted advantage of the blocks, as it allows you to speed up the move into a new home.
The blocks are made using a fairly simple technology. At the initial stage, the main components are mixed: cement, sand, water and foaming agents. It is the latter component that gives the material its porous structure. Subsequently, the solution is mixed and the molds are filled.
Various buildings are built from them
One block weighs close to 25 kg and is quite large in size. Knowing these parameters, you can calculate the required amount of material for the construction of a particular structure. On average, a little more than 8 blocks are required per 1 m2. The laying is carried out using special glue or cement. The use of an adhesive composition is characterized by increased strength. The result is a reliable structure that can withstand any load.
Important! For the construction of bulky buildings, it is recommended to use autoclaved concrete blocks, as they give minimal shrinkage.
The material has many advantages
Advantages of the material
Before designing a house and buying material, you need to carefully consider all its advantages and disadvantages. As for the advantages, it is worth highlighting the following:
- Low cost. The blocks are inexpensive. Experts recommend purchasing material with some reserve. This is due not only to the trimming of the blocks, but also to their fragility. But even despite this, the material will be quite cheap.
- Light weight. The blocks are large in size, but weigh little. This allows you to somewhat simplify the masonry. Structures made of foam blocks place a slight load on the base. This eliminates the need to build a solid monolithic foundation.
Walls go up very quickly
- Easy to process. Due to their porous structure, the blocks are easy to cut and saw. As a result, you can get a segment of the required dimensions.
- Environmental friendliness. To make the material, we use safe components that do not cause allergic reactions. An optimal microclimate is created in a house made of foam blocks.
- High heat and sound insulation properties. Such performance characteristics are due to the presence of pores in the structure of the blocks.
Construction can be done on your own
If the masonry is done correctly, the result is a smooth surface that can be easily finished. This is possible thanks to the geometrically even shape of the blocks. On the outside, simply painting the facade is enough. Also, structures made of foam blocks can be finished with clapboard, siding and other materials.
Flaws
Among the disadvantages of blocks are:
- Fragility. The main disadvantage of blocks is that they deform quite easily. As a result of transportation and falling, they crumble and break. This often leads to increased construction waste. That is why it is recommended to buy material with a reserve of approximately 30%.
- The material does not tolerate contact with water well. As a result of getting wet, the blocks lose their strength and their weight increases significantly, which leads to some problems. To avoid this, structures are protected with a waterproofing layer.
- Limited service life. Manufacturers claim that the blocks can last at least 50 years. After this time, deformation and destruction of the material is possible. It all depends on the climatic conditions in the region, the quality of the masonry and other factors.
Such houses require exterior finishing
In addition, it is worth highlighting that, due to the bulk of the material, buildings made from it are somewhat rough and not aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, in order to give the structure beauty, it is necessary to carry out external decoration of the walls. All these shortcomings must be taken into account at the stage of planning the house.
A number of factors are taken into account when designing
House projects
Today it is possible to build a house of any size. Specialists pay special attention to small buildings, since working with them is sensitive and responsible. It is quite difficult to design a small house correctly so that it is comfortable to use. That is why construction is recommended to be carried out according to projects developed in advance by specialists.
Even small houses can be comfortably furnished
House 6x8
A house of this size is very popular and in demand on the construction market. The peculiarity of the structure is that it takes up relatively little space on a suburban site. As a result, it is possible to use as much land as possible for growing berries, vegetables and flowers, as well as place other auxiliary buildings.
Although the houses look compact, they are equipped with all the necessary rooms
The project is characterized by a simple design and the absence of unnecessary decorative elements and premises. If there is a need to save space, then experts recommend abandoning the arrangement of balconies, terraces and attics. In other cases, such additions will give the house elegance and a finished look.
Despite the fact that the house has a small area (48 m2), it can be furnished as comfortably as possible. Modern projects provide for the presence of all the necessary functional rooms and areas, which will improve the quality of living in it. When choosing, the preferences and needs of the customer are taken into account. If necessary, projects are developed individually, taking into account all wishes.
Two-story houses are an ideal solution for a summer residence
For the construction of small country houses, different architectural solutions are used. Therefore, when choosing a project, not only wishes are taken into account, but also financial capabilities. Particular attention should be paid to the base. If during operation there is a desire to complete the second floor, then the foundation must withstand additional loads.
8x12 house suitable for the whole family
House 8x12
A modern house that is an alternative to city apartments. With its help you can easily solve your housing problem. An area of 96 m2 is quite enough to arrange all the premises necessary for the comfortable living of a large family. There will be not only utility and common areas, but also rooms for personal use.
Walls that have high thermal insulation properties are constructed from foam blocks. At the same time, they breathe, which allows you to create the most comfortable microclimate in the house. The environmental friendliness of the material has been proven by numerous tests. Therefore, block houses are ideal for permanent residence.
It is important to arrange functionally necessary premises
In the process of designing a house, the characteristics of the climate and soil in the area are taken into account. As for the layout, the following rooms are often equipped in the house:
- one or more bedrooms;
- spacious living room;
- kitchen;
- pantry;
- bathroom and others.
In fact, in such an area you can place a large number of rooms that will perform certain functions. This could be a nursery, an office, or even a dressing room. The choice directly depends on the owner of the house. When planning, it is worth taking into account the composition of the family and the preferences of each member, lifestyle, as well as the features of the operation of the building.
Mini houses look very elegant
House 6x6
This compact building is ideal for one person or a small family. They choose the project very carefully. Given the space limitation, it is necessary to provide for the availability of all premises that will ensure comfortable living.
As an alternative, it is worth considering building a two-story house. It will be more spacious, but at the same time it will take up little space on the site.
Construction is carried out in accordance with all rules
When choosing a project and building a house, it is worth considering the advice of experts:
- If the land plot is small in size, then it is better to opt for a two-story building or a house with an attic. This will save space, but at the same time provide comfortable housing.
- When choosing a project, it is worth deciding on the needs of such functional premises as a basement, garage, attic, etc.
Clinker will give the building prestige and majesty
- The arrangement of the ventilation system is also important. Not only the comfort of housing, but also the durability of the structure will largely depend on this. It is recommended to arrange natural ventilation.
- Since the buildings are light in weight, lightweight and inexpensive types of foundation can be used. As a result, this allows you to save a lot on construction.
- The construction of walls should begin only a month after the foundation has been built. Waterproofing material is laid on the foundation, and then blocks. This will protect them from moisture, which adversely affects their condition.
The first rows are laid strictly according to the level
- The laying of the first two rows must be approached very carefully. The quality of further work will depend on them. The presence of even minor distortions is fraught with the formation of cracks on the walls.
This option is considered a classic. It is convenient, practical and does not take up much space on the site. Can be created in a small area. Optimally on land of six acres. The first objects appeared in the 80s of the last century and were one-story. Since then, houses made of 6 by 8 timber have increased in popularity. Projects have changed significantly. Large sanitary rooms and boiler rooms appeared in their arrangement. They are built with attics, where there is additional space for guests to relax. The terrace is convenient for spending pleasant evenings with friends and family. Previously, profiled timber was used for unheated cottages. Now it is being sheathed and insulated, which makes the building more comfortable for permanent residence.
The reliability of the design depends on the quality of the array used. Our company chooses good wood. Glued raw materials cannot meet construction requirements. It is not durable and is prone to drying out and cracking. In addition, glue is a harmful impurity. Such a building will no longer meet environmentally friendly requirements. Therefore, it is important for us to choose high-quality building materials.
