Practical people who know a lot about construction choose blocks as building materials. They can be different species, but all of them are characterized by common properties: quality, accessibility and speed of housing construction. The houses from blocks are rapidly erected, if only because one block replaces 17 bricks. In order to figure out which material and which technology to choose for the future country house, you need to learn about their characteristics.
Varieties of blocks
This building material is a stone of prismatic shape, which is made of artificial or natural materials (concrete, limestone, slag -concrete and others). One of the types of cellular concrete is aerated concrete. It includes a mixture of sand, water and gaseous additives. Ceramic blocks are also used in construction. These are ceramic hollow products that are used for laying walls, ceilings, partitions, various fences. And another popular material is concrete blocks. They can weigh from a dozen kilograms to several tons – it all depends on whether they are made of heavy or lightweight concrete.
Thanks to the positive properties of each material of the house from blocks, they meet all safety and environmental requirements. Cellular concrete is the most popular for construction, because it combines excellent technological characteristics: strength, lightness, low thermal conductivity, efficiency and environmental friendliness.
Frame technology
Every year, traditional ones are being improved in the construction sector and new technologies for the construction of houses are emerging. The main criteria in choosing a particular method of construction are rapidly faithfulness, practicality and economy. Today among customers, turnkey frame houses are very in demand. The frame technology is simple – the house is literally gathering as a constructor. No wonder it has long been popular in the West – in Canada, the USA, in the Scandinavian countries.
The main feature of the frame technology is the multilayer structure of the walls. The type of materials is selected taking into account the climatic conditions of the region. All components are made by masters on modern equipment. The house is built using frame technology usually for three months. The entire process of building the building consists of clearly coordinated stages, starting from the installation of a metal frame and ending with interior decoration.
