For the last ten years, the technology of frame houses has dominated the global construction market . Very often, such housing can be seen in the USA, Canada and Finland. Unfortunately, the frame house (a review about which you rarely hear from domestic builders) in our understanding is connected with something ephemeral and extremely unreliable. We hasten to assure you that this is not at all the case.
The builders themselves also say that the demand for them is real, but the trouble with our country is that buyers here are guided not by personal experience, but by very strange stereotypes.
We tried to choose the most common myths, refuting them with the practice of domestic use. You will see that the frame house, a review of which should be based on your own opinion, is quite suitable for a comfortable stay throughout the country.
So, the first misconception is that our customers are skeptical about the ability of the frame house to keep warm in frosty winters. Note that the standard thickness of its wall is 267 mm. This is enough to provide the same thermal insulation performance as the 510 mm foam wall is characterized by. Needless to say, such a frame house, the reviews of which users have only positive, will perfectly protect you from frost.
The second misconception is based on the opinion that the frame is not very durable. This may be true for cases when builders greatly saved on materials by using low-quality and not dried wood.
Before you build a frame house, you need to worry in advance about buying a beam of good quality. Ideally, it is best to buy glued material. Overlapping of many houses of pre-revolutionary buildings still made of such a beam. If at least the basic rules for their operation are observed, they are able to last for more than a dozen years.
In addition, frame houses are intensively built even in earthquake-prone areas, where they have proven themselves well.
The most common myth is that a frame house (reviews with such comments are common) can last no more than 20-30 years. This is fundamentally wrong, because even in the northern states of the USA there are old frame houses that are already 90-100 years old.
In Finland (where the climate is much harsher), their longevity is about the same. If you remember that in such housing you can not do redevelopment with the transfer of partitions and allow the insulation to get wet, it will also serve your grandchildren.
Finally, our citizens are somewhat suspicious of the high speed of building such a house. It is believed that fast means bad, but it is not. Efficiency in this case is explained not by the neglect of the builders to their work, but by the fact that a ready-made kit for assembly is brought to the site. It can be compared with a children's designer, also consisting of ready-made blocks.
Thus, frame houses (projects and prices you can study in construction companies) can become a real family nest. Given that in most cases their cost does not exceed one million rubles (the cost per square meter starts on average from 4000 thousand rubles), many can afford them.
