In summer cottage and suburban construction, wooden houses are again becoming popular. This can be explained by their reliability, beauty, practicality, environmental friendliness and other positive characteristics. According to statistics, the most often chosen house for construction is 6 by 6, the layout of which can be completely different.
Profitability and convenience
For many developers, these criteria are key. Those who appreciate the respectability and solidity of the house, choose brick or stone houses. But if cost is important, optimally combined with comfort, then the most practical option is a 6 by 6 house, the layout of which is chosen at the request of the owners.
Benefit
It may seem that 36 square meters will be small for a small family. However, this problem can be easily solved by making a 2-storey house, or equip the attic, due to which the area will increase significantly. In addition, it can be expanded by attaching a terrace. Therefore, the layout of the house 6 to 6 can be very convenient.
Layout options
The layout of the country house 6 6 is carried out depending on the number of storeys. On one floor they arrange a kitchen, a room and a bathroom. You can make a storage room. Often a terrace is added to the project.
Recommendation. The bay window allows you to increase the area, giving personality to the house.
The second floor or attic allows you to better equip the house. In such cases, you can have a living room or kitchen on the 1st floor, a pantry, a bathroom and a furnace, and bedrooms on the 2nd floor.
Recommendation. Due to the fact that a certain area needs to be allocated for the staircase, it is better to combine the living room and kitchen below, and arrange a pantry under the stairs.
Planning
To save money, if a 6 by 6 house is being built , the layout can well be composed independently. However, it is necessary to take into account several nuances.
- First of all, you should study the information about the building line installed in the village. She limited the position of the house in relation to the external border of the site and the border with neighbors. This is a fire safety requirement. Basically, the "red line" goes 3 meters from the side walls and 5 meters from the facade.
- It is necessary to draw up a plan of the site, noting the existing buildings, other buildings, shrubs and trees. This will allow during planning to understand what the view will be from the windows, whether the “objects” will interfere with normal operation and construction, etc.
Recommendation. If there is a well or a well on the site, you need to try so that the water intake point in the house is closer.
3. On the plan, you need to place the future house 6 by 6, the layout of which is done independently, mark the terrace, porch or entrance group. Before planning, you should decide on the purpose and number of rooms, their desired location, etc.
4. Think over heating systems, placing a fireplace or stove.
When drawing up a plan, you can look at typical projects or use computer programs to create layout options even with furniture.
The advantages of building from timber
Building from a bar has many advantages.
The main advantage is the high speed of construction. The timber frame is assembled in 1 day, because the material has the correct geometric shape, it is easy to dock in the corners. In this case, it is not necessary to attract heavy equipment - the dried timber is easily stacked on its own.
Smooth edges greatly simplify further interior and exterior decoration. And when using profiled or glued material, it is not required at all.
It is worth recalling that over time, any tree dries out, shrinking. For this reason, it will be better to wait a while and only then begin to finish. However, this does not apply to glued beams, because it is made of dry and glued in different plane lamellas. Such a beam almost does not shrink and is not covered by cracks.
Timber thickness
The ability to hold the body depends on the thickness of the beam, so it is selected according to the purpose of the structure. For a bathhouse or a summer house 6 by 6, a beam 50x150 thick is suitable. For the construction of a house for permanent residence, a beam of 150x200 or 200x200 is most often used.
Recommendation. When performing external and internal wall decoration, it is more profitable and more economical to choose a thin beam with a layer of insulation or thick without it.
So, the layout of a single-storey house 6 6 of timber can be made both independently and with the help of specialists. The advantages of small buildings are obvious:
1. The house can be built on any site.
2. Build it quickly and cheaply.
3. Savings on the payment of utility bills.
If you do not need a palace, but just comfortable housing for living, then the layout of a 6 by 6 house is quite suitable.
