Houses made of sandwich panels: project, construction, reviews
Previously inherent only to the Canadian population, and now to the whole world, houses from sandwich panels now enjoy great popularity among the inhabitants of Russia. Small-sized dwellings of this type are built in the suburbs, in the regions of the country, in the southern regions and in the most remote, northern ones. Building a house from a sandwich panel is easy, simple, fast, and most importantly - not so expensive. Therefore, below we will consider in detail the process of erecting such a dwelling, and also ask the materials that, thanks to their excellent quality, enable us to live in warmth and coziness all year round.
Brief description of the material
The sandwich panel itself consists of three parts. These are two dense layers (particleboard, MDF or something else) and a soft layer of insulation, which is located between them. Each layer is attached to the other by means of a hot press, so they can not disconnect later. The very construction of houses from sandwich panels suggests that two types of such material are needed. The first is referred to as the wall. Its surface is either completely smooth or profiled on one side, which gives the walls a certain decor. For the arrangement of roofs, roof panels are used. They can be profiled from both sides, or only with one - the outer one.
Application of the material
Now a lot of construction companies are offering the population for a short time to build a house of sandwich panels. The feedback of people on this account, as a rule, depends on the company that took up work, and on the quality of implementation. The very material that is used in this process is unquestionably good both in quality and in price. Similar projects are being built by domestic construction firms in about two to three weeks. The most difficult stage in this work is the arrangement of the foundation. Further construction of walls and ceilings is an easy task. Similar houses can be sold "on a turn-key basis", which is most often observed in our country. Less often people order frame housing for themselves on an individual project. Externally, the houses of sandwich panels look like full-fledged brick cottages, mansions, with chic exterior and impressive facades. However, it's not chic at all - the main criterion for such housing. According to your sketches, the workers will be able to build both a medieval castle from such panels, and a hut with one window.
Design
Before you start work, it's worth to make an accurate drawing of your future home. If such work is beyond your power, then sketch the sketch, and the calculations will be done by a professional with whom you will specify all the details. Note that there are also ready-made houses of sandwich panels, for which prices have already been set in advance. Also, those buildings that are made according to standard drawings, the most economical in terms of consumption of construction material. Therefore, if you want to save money first, take it to the note. The project itself, which you will compile as a result, will consist of two parts, which are discussed in detail below.
Drawings of parts and products for further installation
Here we include an explanatory note with all the transcripts that will be present on the following pages. Then we put all the data on the floor panels, the same thing you need to write about the wall panels of the first floor and the mansard ones. We note the parameters of the details of the wall panels. The next item is data on roofing materials. As a rule, houses made of sandwich panels are always supplemented with wooden elements. It can be stances on the porch, balcony, in the house itself, etc., so in this section we also point out all the data on them.
Assembly drawings for further assembly
Once you have calculated all the data for the house from the sandwich panels, we collect the project in one piece. To do this, you need accurate pictures, on which the scale and each line will be displayed in accuracy. We list that we will need specifically:
- Plan of the ground floor;
- The attic plan;
- Sketches of facades (along axial directions);
- Plan and calculation of the foundation ;
- Section of the basement;
- Plan to mount panels that will cover the foundation;
- A plan for mounting wall panels on the first floor;
- Plan for the installation of ceilings, which relate to the first floor;
- The plan of mounting of wall and floor panels of the second floor (or an attic);
- Installation of roofing panels;
- A section in the staircase;
- Cut in the area of the ridge;
- Plan and calculation of the roof.
Stages of erection. Foundation and initial works
The construction of houses from sandwich panels begins, like any other, from the foundation. In this case, the requirements for it are not so high due to the fact that the walls and floors of the future house are light and unpretentious. Depth depends strictly on terrain and type of soil. Ideally, this option is suitable for a strip foundation or a columnar one. Simultaneously with it, workers begin to make the installation system for the house. Its essence lies in the fact that the foundation is fixed with a strong bar with the help of anchor bolts. This material is impregnated with antiseptics and other protective mixtures, which makes it possible to keep the house always clean, dry and cozy. It is on this strapping bar that later panels will be mounted.
Installation and installation of walls and ceilings
First, let's take a look at the unfinished houses from sandwich panels. The photos clearly show us that although they are considered "cardboard huts", they still have their own skeleton. It consists of boards, which are the connecting element that runs between each panel. It is on this "grid" that the panels themselves are attached, and all the cracks are blown out by the mounting foam. The assembly of the finished house always begins with a corner. In order to mount such a dwelling, no more than two workers are needed on the site. Overlapping the house always involves an air blower, which provides natural ventilation. Due to the fact that the house is based on a frame of timber, mount the window panels and doorways simply.
Roof installation
At the very end the roof of the house is mounted. The process itself is no different from the standard one, which was used by our ancestors. The bottom line is only that sandwich panels are nailed to the skates and floor slabs. Sometimes the roof is also equipped with a waterproofing film for added protection (especially if you have an attic floor). After the main material is finished, decorative is mounted. In its role is usually the standard tile. The main thing here is that it should match the color and texture of your project.
His house is made of sandwich panels. Owner feedback
Everyone in our time, who has acquired such a type of housing, has never complained about him. People say that the house is always warm, cozy, comfortable. It is made of environmentally friendly, high-quality and durable material. Another huge plus - the cost of finished housing does not exceed 30-33 dollars per square meter. An important place is also occupied by communications and equipment. All pipes, wires and other parts, without which it is impossible to comfortably exist in our world, in such dwellings are hidden either in special boxes or behind false walls. And, of course, every consumer is pleased with the free space, which allows you to install any furniture in the house. The height of the ceilings is 2.8 m on average, and you can determine the size of the rooms for yourself.
