- Construction Materials. Our company uses only lumber obtained at our own production in Obninsk. We are proud of the innovative development of our engineers - insulated timber.
- Reliable skylights. We minimize the heat losses of the attic space by using a protective coating on the glass. ZakazDomov craftsmen install windows that are highly practical. To wash them from the outside, just turn the sash inward!
- Ecological purity. There is no rot in the walls of our houses and there are no pest bugs. In addition, timber materials from Sovremenny Dom do not support combustion. All of them are treated with flame retardants.
- Savings for the customer. We use insulated glued beams for construction. This material reduces the load of the walls of the dwelling on the foundation by almost 2 times. The customer saves on the construction of a lighter foundation, on insulation, finishing and wages.
- Savings in winter. The thickness of polyurethane foam in our timber meets the requirements of SNiP. In addition, this material is environmentally friendly.
- Modern skylights. ZakazaDomov specialists select the best designs of roof windows for a dwelling made of glued laminated timber. We provide the best conditions for the penetration of sunlight in the attic.
Wood has been used as a material for building a house for several hundred years and has proven itself well. Despite the development of technology, wooden houses are not inferior in their parameters to other types, for example, buildings made of foam concrete or SIP panels, and in some cases they are significantly superior.
The house with an attic has a presentable and stylish appearance. Such a house will always attract attention, and the main material - timber will add its own zest. But such a building performs not only aesthetic functions, but also practical ones. Thanks to the arrangement of the attic, you can significantly increase the usable area of \u200b\u200bthe house. The only disadvantage of the attic is that, due to its proximity to the environment, it will be necessary to additionally insulate it.
Wood is a natural material, which means it is environmentally friendly and safe. Wood perfectly retains heat indoors and at the same time does not let cold air through. Thanks to this, a microclimate comfortable for life is maintained in the house, there is good air circulation. Also, this factor provides warmth in the house during the cold winter and a slight coolness in the summer.
If we consider the issue of building a wooden house from the side of material costs, then there are also some advantages.
Advantages and disadvantages
Building from timber will come out cheaper than, for example, from brick, since wood has less weight. And this suggests that the cost of manufacturing the foundation will be reduced. In this case, a very strong mortar of concrete or cement is not required, and there is no need for a large amount of it.
A house made of timber with an attic at a cost will come out much cheaper than a full-fledged two-story building. Indeed, in fact, the attic is an attic space, but equipped as a living room. Thus, the amount of building materials is reduced, and hence the costs.
Such houses initially have an attractive appearance, so no additional decoration of the facade is required, which also significantly reduces costs. The building material itself is also low cost.
With a large number of advantages, there are also disadvantages of timber houses. First of all, it is worth remembering that the tree is exposed to moisture, which means that it is necessary to make reliable waterproofing and treat the wood with antiseptics. When buying material, it is important to find out whether the timber has dried out enough and how it was dried. It also needs to be treated for insects. There are some other advantages:
- there are no great difficulties in the care during operation;
- a wooden house can not only be assembled, but also disassembled if necessary;
- savings on heating;
- long service life.
Wooden houses have poor protection against fires, so it is recommended to think carefully about the fire protection system and carry out high-quality insulation of electrical wiring. Also, do not neglect the processing of wood with flame retardants.
If the facade cladding is not required, then the interior design of the walls is still necessary. And this can be difficult, as some facing materials will not hold securely, for example, tiles. This factor is due to the fact that wood "breathes", which means that its density can change.
It is also worth noting the fact that a house made of timber is subject to complete shrinkage for about three years (this parameter depends on the type of wood).
Construction features
Before starting construction, it is necessary to determine the size of the house, where and how various communications, electrical wiring, ventilation and fire safety systems will pass, windows and doors will be located. Provide for the presence of a terrace or veranda, garage, basement and other auxiliary premises. It is necessary to draw up a general drawing and after that proceed with the construction of a house with an attic. Types of timber:
- whole;
- profiled;
- glued.
Using timber to build a house is better than rounded logs, because the latter simply creates an imitation of antique, while the timber gives the house a modern style. Solid timber is not subjected to additional processing, due to which it can be found in any hardware store. This type is characterized by low cost and high construction speed. There is no need to attract a large number of specialists or equipment, installation work is carried out easily and quickly.
A solid beam is a log with a rectangular section, which is obtained by planing from four sides. But a solid, non-profiled timber does not comply with GOSTs, as a result of which differences in the placement of crowns may form due to the unevenness of the saw cut and the size of the cross section. This type of timber needs special treatment from fungus, mold and insects.
Unlike a solid beam, the profiled version is processed and takes the form of a bowl with spikes. This form provides a snug fit of logs without gaps, and the design has a higher reliability. This ensures that moisture does not get inside the building and heat is retained. The surface of the profiled timber is even and smooth, no additional design of the facade is required.
Building a house from profiled timber requires breaks so that the material has time to dry. After completion of all installation work, you should start interior decoration no earlier than 10 months later.
The construction of glued laminated timber consists of 2-5 lamellas of a certain shape, glued together. Before gluing, the raw materials must be dried. Glued cedar timber is the highest quality and durable material, it has good thermal insulation and is slightly affected by the external environment. Also, this type of timber can be made from larch and pine.
Glued laminated timber has a rather high price, but it is justified by its excellent properties. Since glue is included in its design, such a beam is less environmentally friendly in comparison with solid or profiled materials.
The main differences between materials:
- a structure made of non-profiled timber needs external finishing of the facade, since its appearance is far from ideal;
- the only type of timber material that is not subject to cracking is glued timber;
- profiled and glued laminated timber undergo minimal shrinkage, unlike solid timber.
The construction of a house from a bar with an attic is divided into the following stages:
- foundation installation;
- erection of walls and ceilings from timber;
- roof installation;
- roof and wall insulation.
For a wooden house with an attic, there is no need for a strong and solid foundation, the main thing is to take into account the load of both the first floor and the attic. In this regard, metal piles or a strip foundation are used as a support for a house made of timber. After the foundation is made, the construction of the walls begins. In this process, the most important thing is to lay the first crown correctly and beautifully, the quality and reliability of the entire building depends on this. In the joints between the bars, you must immediately put a heater. This is due to the fact that the tree can deform over time, and gaps are formed that can reduce thermal insulation.
Further, after the completion of the construction of the walls, it is necessary to determine the type of roof. It can be of several types, and the most common are single-sided, double-sided, broken. Most often, a gable roof is used for a house with an attic, although a broken line can make the overall design more interesting. Shed roofing is the least commonly used.
After completion of construction, it is necessary to wait for the shrinkage of the house from the timber and only then proceed to thorough insulation and further finishing.
Projects
There are many ready-made projects of houses made of timber with an attic of various designs, dimensions and other characteristics. You can also independently think over the plan of the house or turn to specialists.
Timber houses can be made in various sizes, the most common are: 6x6, 6x8, 6x9, 8x8, 9x9 square meters. m. Dimensions 6 by 6 and 6 by 8 square meters. m - these are buildings of the type of country houses, 8 by 8 or 7 by 8 square meters. m - these are small cottages, and 9 by 9 sq. m - this is a full-fledged house.
The number of rooms and their location depends on the total area of the house, the wishes of the owners and financial capabilities. In a small house for a small family on the ground floor, you can place a hall, kitchen, living room and bathroom, and take the attic under a spacious bedroom. If necessary, a small guest room or a nursery can be arranged on the ground floor.
For medium-sized houses, you can either add a number of bedrooms, or expand the main rooms, for example, increase the size of the kitchen in order to equip the dining room. In order to use the attic floor, it is best to arrange a staircase in the hall, but it is also possible in the living room.
What elements to complement the overall design of the house - depends on the owners. On the attic floor, you can equip a balcony or terrace, and on the first floor you can place a porch with a veranda. Windows with a bay window will give the appearance of the house a cozy and stylish look.
Dachas and cottages for summer holidays outside the city have always been built in a simplified format, with a minimum consumption of materials for insulation or decorative finishing, giving preference to a house with log or clapboard walls. The dream of an urban person has always been a project for a house made of logs with an attic and a high roof. Such a project of a house made of timber or logs has always successfully fit into the terrain on almost any terrain, but the project of a house with an attic looked especially bright surrounded by old pines or tall shrubs, as in the photo.
Which project of a house from a bar to choose
The realities of today are such that it is no longer economically profitable to buy or build an ugly or poorly thought out project, especially a country version of a house made of timber with an attic. A successful design and a competent house plan are the same active components of the price as a prestigious building location or a successful combination of forest, river and local infrastructure. Therefore, today, projects of houses made of timber with an attic are undergoing serious architectural study and design, especially in terms of internal planning and the most efficient use of the internal space of the premises.
The most popular can be safely called the three main types of a wooden house with an attic:
Note! All three loft house projects are industrially manufactured from glued or profiled timber, delivered to the site and assembled within two weeks.
The project and layout of the house from a 6x6 m timber was made with a minimum number of additional architectural elements, it does not have portable verandas or bay windows that are difficult to build sloping roofs. If you have some experience in building any structure from a 150x100 mm timber, you can build a house project with an attic by 40-50% with your own hands, which will lead to a 30% reduction in the cost of construction.
Typical projects of country houses from a bar with an attic
It should be noted that a timber project of a house with an attic will cost much less than a building made of logs. If you do not go into the intricacies of the design and layout of the construction of such structures, it can be noted that it has a more modern and sophisticated style than log houses, often simply stylized antique, but not creating the impression of a capital structure.
There are several main arguments in favor of a house made of timber with an attic:
- The overall design, even the design of a house made of timber 8x9 m with an attic, will be much lighter and more stable, which makes it possible to build from timber practically on a site with a relief of any complexity. Most often, on difficult ground, a pile or type-setting brick foundation is used;
- Profiled or glued timber with deep impregnation with preservative materials resists rain and sun much better. In addition, the assembly of fitted beams on industrial woodworking equipment makes it possible to obtain a wall with minimal gaps and crevices, which reduces the consumption of jute and linen for their embedding;
- If you wish, you can order the whole house or its individual parts, a hall on the ground floor, an attic or an open veranda, made entirely with a particular kind of wood you like, for example, oak or larch.
Important! Almost always, when assembling a house from rounded logs, the bundle and cutting of grooves are done manually on site, which significantly reduces the productivity of work and the speed of erection of the building.
Typical projects for building a house from a bar 9x9 m with an attic
The large house shown in the photo with an attic, a bay window and a balcony on the second floor can be called classic in design, decoration and technical solutions used in its construction. The building is constructed from profiled or glued timber 150, so the frame is almost 3 times lighter than a brick or cinder block building.
This type of building made of timber is rarely installed on a pile foundation. For all its merits, pile foundation systems do not add to the attractiveness of the appearance of the house, therefore, most often the building is installed on an ordinary strip foundation.
A house with a wall size of 9x9 m can be built from a beam 200x150 mm thick and up to 9 meters long. This allows you to reduce construction time and get a very strong and rigid house structure. According to the project, a covered terrace is being made on the ground floor of the house, the roof of which is connected to a balcony on the attic floor. This somewhat simplifies the design and evens out the load of the floor of the first floor.
The main part of the service auxiliary premises is located on the ground floor, it is a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. Quite successful can be called the mutual arrangement of the kitchen with a bay window and the living room provided for in the house, which are interconnected by a small hall. This scheme allows you to use the second floor without passing through the most important rooms on the first floor.
The main living quarters are concentrated in the attic. There is a master bedroom with access to a balcony and a second room that can be used as a guest or children's room. Such a project is suitable for organizing summer country holidays, but subject to additional wall insulation with interior decoration, a house with an attic can serve as a winter cottage, and even for permanent year-round living. The distinctive features of the project include a simplified design of the attic. In this project, the authors of the project did not use the four-pitched broken roofs typical of such buildings, but installed the usual two-pitched one, which simplifies and reduces the cost of the project estimate.
Project of a house with an attic and a corner arrangement of rooms. This variant of the layout of the premises and the design of the building was very liked by lovers of country houses made of timber.
The total area of the house is 126 m2, of which 56 m2 is in the attic. The entrance to the house is located in the central part of the building, which provides excellent protection from wind and sun. The architectural solution underlying the project can also be called classical in its design.
If you look closely at the layout of the premises and the location of the rooms, you will notice that 80% of the planning logic coincides with the previous version of the house with an attic. But in this project, the kitchen room is removed from the front door, a bedroom and auxiliary rooms are added. The second floor with an attic is completely reserved for sleeping quarters.
Such a project is very well suited for a small hotel or holiday home. Moreover, for outdoor recreation or near a pond, it is very important to maintain a positive impression of the environment and the surrounding nature among vacationers, and in this case, a house made of timber, with an emphasis on a large number of interior details made of natural wood, is the best fit.
In such projects, the elements of the supporting frame of the roof, partitions and ceiling, as a rule, are not hidden behind the cladding, but are specially marked in the interior, emphasizing the naturalism of the building.
The project of a small country house from a bar 6x8 m with an attic
The price of construction of previous projects ranged on average from 700 thousand to 1400 thousand rubles. If you do not need such an expensive and costly option, you can stay at a simpler and more affordable house with an attic. Both projects are very similar in architectural design, they are built from a beam with a cross section of 150 mm and are designed for use by a small family or a company of 2-3 people. Due to the small size and simple construction of the roof of a very light structure, the construction of a building made of timber will cost about 300 thousand rubles, and houses made of timber 6x6 m with an attic will cost even less - about 250 thousand rubles.
The 8x6 m house has a rather spacious bedroom, under which the entire attic floor is allocated, on the ground floor there is a living room and a kitchen. This is the easiest and most affordable option for a summer vacation in the country for a weekend or a short vacation. Most often, such projects are used to build small country cottages.
The above project of a 6x6 m house is not bad for a country house. The frame is made of timber, which creates relatively comfortable conditions for a temporary stay in nature. The presence of a summer terrace and a kitchen, a sleeping room placed in the attic, can provide for the needs for relaxation, but only in the summer. Such a dacha, in the project, can be put on a pile foundation, which will save the building from a bar from moisture and cold.
Houses made of timber are good because they are cheaper, absolutely environmentally friendly, over time they do not crack, as, for example, in houses made of logs, they are quite functional. So, if you add an attic to the standard design, you can get an additional living room, playroom or office. At the same time, the size of the house can be very different. But it is necessary to think over everything at the design stage.
Advantages of a 6x6 timber house with an attic
Houses made of timber with parameters 6x6 are an excellent solution for a summer cottage, where the area for building is usually limited. Such a house is compact, small-sized, but it can easily accommodate all the necessary premises for a comfortable summer holiday. With a one-story structure, the space under the roof can be equipped with an attic, which would act as a bedroom. But it starts with design. The simplest plan is below.
With a built-up area of 36 m 2 of living space, 40-46 m 2 is obtained. For walls and partitions, a profiled beam 100x150 mm is used, but 150x150 mm can also be taken. Flax jute fabric serves as a heater. The roof is gable or hipped. In this project, the attic room is designed for one bedroom, so the roof can be gable.
The result: a neat little, environmentally friendly wooden house. But this project does not provide for a bathroom, utility rooms and can only be equipped with a single-flight staircase. But it has a very spacious bedroom - 24 m 2.
A more complex project of a 6x6 house, with a bathroom, a hall and two bedrooms on the attic floor, may look like this.
Such a house is more functional, but requires more serious engineering and technical developments: water supply, sewerage, a good ventilation system and insulation. It is better to make the roof mansard, then the second floor will save more space and light. Cobbled houses of this type are well suited for summer cottages, where the family spends most of the summer time. They look simple, but at the same time elegant and modern.
Plans of houses from a bar 6x8 with an attic
Cobbled houses measuring 6x8 also have a completely different layout. Depending on the number of family members and the requirements for the future building, projects of houses from a bar with an attic can be quite ergonomic and simple, as in the project below.
To save space, it is recommended to combine all additional zones in one technical room. So in the bathroom you can install a boiler room. The locker room and dressing room are combined in the hall adjacent directly to the entrance. If both rooms are made small - 2.55 m, then there will be enough space for a small terrace.
On the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen, where you can equip a dining room and a living room. The attic is a large bedroom. The advantage of the house is a simple layout, the project itself is easily implemented within a few months. Both profiled and glued beams are used as the main material. The first is superior in technical characteristics. It is stronger, more durable and easier to work with.
The second type of project is a bit more complicated. Photo next.
Such a layout will be a good solution for a family with children or for those who are always happy to have guests. The bedroom on the ground floor can be easily converted into a guest room. And if one of the bedrooms in the attic is not useful, it can be converted into a gym, billiard room, game room or office.
If you supply the house with all the necessary engineering and technical elements, it will be suitable for operation in all seasons. The configuration of windows, roofs and the location of the central entrance can be selected individually.
If desired, the attic floor is complemented by a spectacular balcony, which gives more space, light and clean air. In the warm season, such a balcony will be a good place for secluded relaxation. On the ground floor there is a small terrace, where you can also enjoy your time.
Advantage: cobbled houses do not require special foundation costs. With dimensions of 6x8, columnar or screw types are suitable, which are quickly mounted, but fully withstand the load.
House with parameters 7x8 and an attic
Building 7x8 from timber will cost almost half as much as brick or stone. The project below provides for a small vestibule, a kitchen-dining room of sufficient size and a living room on the ground floor. The attic is represented by two bedrooms and a large hall.
For the construction, a profiled timber 100x150 mm is used for strapping and 140x90 mm for the construction of walls. Edged boards 25 mm are suitable for the subfloor, 36 mm tongue and groove boards are suitable for finishing. The foundation is pile or screw. The roof can be made onduline. In total, at minimal cost, it turns out a very beautiful, durable country house. And the money saved will be useful for finishing work.
Models of houses with a central entrance look interesting, which can be decorated very interestingly at the final stage. The project of such a house is as follows.
An example of a 7x8 house made of profiled timber with an attic floor and a balcony.
The project of a 9x9 cobbled house with an attic
Houses of this type are designed depending on their intended purpose. It can be a spacious country cottage, a house for permanent residence or a beautiful summer cottage where you can relax with a big company. The purpose of the building will determine the number of rooms, their location, the presence of additional technical premises (boiler room, sauna, boiler room, bathroom, terrace, balconies, etc.).
The layout of the most unpretentious building.
The house has two spacious rooms on the ground floor and one on the attic floor. As well as a terrace and a balcony. This model does not provide for any additional premises, so it is often chosen for the construction of simple summer cottages, without a kitchen and any engineering systems.
Everything is built quite quickly (2-3 months) and at minimal cost. The result is a very attractive building with a living area of 77.4 m 2 .
A more expensive project with a kitchen, a utility room, bathrooms, an office and 4 rooms, which are arranged at the discretion of the owners, looks like this:
In the end, the log house will look something like this. The color scheme of the exterior finish can be chosen based on your own preferences.
The nuances of the construction of cobbled houses
At the planning stage of the future home, in parallel with the virtual placement of all rooms, the materials for the implementation of the project are also determined.
- What beam to use. Planed - the cheapest material, but its quality is low. Profiled - easy to use, creates a solid structure without cracks, does not dry out over time, is in the middle price position. Glued - expensive, but the most durable and not subject to deformation building material made of wood, usually coniferous.
- Foundation. For houses 6x6, 6x8 and 7x8, you can make a screw or columnar, but for sizes 9x9 it is better to put a tape
- Roof. It is best to use ondulin or roofing material. And to make a reliable layer of sound insulation, no matter what material the roof is made of, wind or rain without a sound-absorbing layer will interfere with a good rest.
- If the house will be used in the cold season, it is worth laying high-quality thermal insulation. Waterproofing is mandatory in any case, as wood is hygroscopic.
- When creating a project, it is necessary to take into account how many people and what ages will live in the house. Elderly people need a bedroom on the first floor. Small children should sleep closer to mom and dad, but teenagers need personal space away from their parents, and this is where the attic comes in handy.
- The timber is not the most fireproof material, so it must first be treated with special refractory solutions.
Why do you need a house plan at all? Without it, it will not only be impossible to control the correctness of construction, the consumption of materials and compliance with the architectural design, if necessary, the house cannot be sold without project documentation, since it is actually illegal.
