An extension from the beam to the house will significantly increase the usable area of the dwelling and fundamentally change the possibility of its use. Typically, annexes play the role of a kitchen, porch, bathroom, etc. It will unload the main house. Well, if you make such a room, it is decided at the design stage of the house, but it happens differently.
Often a house is first built, and then they begin to think about the need for an extension from the beam to the house. To make it harmoniously combined with the main dwelling, you need to think in advance all the details - from the foundation to the roof, to determine the materials. The best option would be a wooden extension to the house of timber.
Due to the dimensions of glued, rounded or planed timber, construction work is significantly reduced in time.
Foundation
An extension to a house made of timber is usually done from the side of the yard or to the end walls. The foundations of the extension and the main building should be at the same level, that is, laid at the same depth (below the freezing mark of the soil). First, a platform is prepared for it, 20 cm of soil is removed. More economical - columnar foundation, but tape - more reliable. It is reinforced with longitudinal (d = 12 mm) and transverse (d = 6 mm) reinforcement. The basement frame of the extension is connected to the base of the house in this way: with a drill (d = 10 mm), several holes (one by one and a half meters) are made in the foundation of the house. Then fittings are hammered into them (d = 12 mm) and they are fastened on twists to the frame of the base of the extension. When everything is ready, pour concrete.
Walls
An extension of the beam to the house should be isolated from the foundation. To do this, put two layers of roofing material on the basement. The crowns are connected with dowels (5 cm). The binding to the house is carried out with pins with welded platinum for self-tapping screws.
Before you make an extension of the beam, you need to plan the time for shrinkage of the walls. After their construction, windows and doors are not immediately installed. Usually this is done next year or there are 15 cm gaps between the window (door) opening and the window frame (door frame).
Roof
The roof of the extension is made both common with the house, and separate. The main thing is that the two buildings are harmoniously combined.
Why timber
An extension of the timber to the house is good with the material itself. He is handsome and supple during construction. Not only annexes are made of it, but also summer verandas for wooden and brick houses. In addition, the timber is made at a woodworking enterprise, where it is sorted by size and quality of wood.
- In production, it undergoes a special antiseptic treatment that slows down the process of decay and saves wood from parasites.
- The finished material at the request of the buyer can be thermally processed to give the desired shade.
- The ecological cleanliness of the timber is an important aspect for deciding on its use.
Wood is an excellent building material with excellent characteristics. Section of a bar can be ordered individually. His choice is determined by the purpose of the building and the climatic conditions of the regions where the building will be installed.
