Projects of frame houses with an attic: popular options

A frame house with an attic can be an excellent home for a young family. It is not difficult to construct such a building. The result will be a full-fledged home with enough space in conditions of closeness to nature. You just need to choose a suitable project and complete it with high quality.

An attic increases living space at minimal cost. The device of a frame house with such a floor provides for construction using both proven and new technologies. Even with an average financial situation, you can build a comfortable two-story house with an attic and a veranda. At the same time, you will be able to combine all modern conveniences and suburban living conditions in one project.

Frame houses with an attic are very popular due to a number of advantages.

• Such projects comply with Russian construction standards and regulations.
• Frame buildings can be erected in relatively short time intervals (the installation of the foundation can take 2-4 days, the installation of the whole house lasts from 3 weeks to 3 months).
• Excellent layout combined with high quality work give excellent results.
• Construction is quite economical. The relatively low weight of frame structures reduces the cost of arranging the foundation.

• Weather conditions do not have a negative impact on the timing and quality of work.
• If foundation repairs are required, the structure can simply be lifted without disassembling it.
• Such buildings make it possible to save energy due to optimal thermal conductivity and duration of heat retention.
• Natural and high-quality industrial heat-insulating materials, as well as wood, make frame-based structures comfortable and safe for health.

• There are many projects of houses of various sizes and with traditional and new architectural solutions. These are small, well-arranged country houses with dimensions of 6x4, 6x6 m, and two-storey buildings with a garage, a veranda, balconies and bay windows (6 by 9 and more).
• Frame or panel houses have increased resistance to combustion and decay. This is facilitated by the use of new building materials and the processing of wooden parts with effective means of fire and biological protection.
• Wooden racks, located strictly at an angle of 90 degrees, practically do not shrink.

Like any other project, frame construction has its drawbacks, which can only be reduced by adhering to all standards and recommendations.

There are several main disadvantages:

• When using cheap materials of low quality (including wood), harmful substances are emitted into the air of the room.
• The use of some insulating materials and wood parts that have not been treated with flame retardants increases the fire hazard.
• Calculation errors can lead to a weakening of the strength of a structure and an increase in its vulnerability to wind, snow and rain.
• Without the installation of an effective ventilation system, it is possible to increase the humidity in the premises.

The professionalism of builders, the choice of quality materials, adherence to the sequence of all stages and construction rules will help to avoid many mistakes.

To create any frame building, you must have a project developed by the future owner or specialists. The finished plan must be approved by special organizations that supervise the construction. Having received an approved project, having discussed the details and general terms of construction, the owner can conclude a contract. Then the builders get to work.

A frame house, like others, starts with a foundation. It must be solid, durable, constant for the entire life of the house, therefore its choice requires a serious approach. All geological and geodetic features, hydrological location, seasonality, information about the region, weather distributions, and the influence of external influences are taken into account. It is advisable to coordinate all the features of laying the foundation of such a house with specialists.

Many buildings, including frame ones, in Russia are most often erected on a pile-grillage foundation. Such a foundation is quickly designed and built. It easily accepts and evenly distributes the weight of the structure on all supports.

The frame house is distinguished by the fact that the building can be installed on the finished foundation in a relatively short time. Its creation according to an agreed project under favorable seasonal conditions by an experienced team of builders can be completed in one and a half to two months. In this case, the assembly must be carried out in a specific order. They begin to mount each node only when they accurately imagine its location and function, and also understand the assembly order. Even experienced craftsmen, when working, should have instructions for a clear understanding of the principles and sequence of stages of work.

The construction of a timber frame or panel house does not require excessive expenditure of materials and financial resources. Of course, it all depends on the size of the house, the quality of raw materials (including insulation), exterior and interior decoration. However, the costs of assembling such houses are minimal compared to other projects (brick, block or concrete building).

During construction, delays can occur, which increases the duration of the work. In such cases, it is worth knowing what can be left for the next construction stage.

Different situations may arise:

• The foundation is already ready for loading. The frame is set on the foundation, the roof is covered, but there is no floor yet.
• If there is already a floor, then it is necessary to install an outer skin and protection from the wind.
• If the insulated ceiling is ready and different partitions are installed, it is not recommended to leave windows and doors for the winter, they must be removed. This will dry out the wood, and by the beginning of the season it will be possible to eliminate assembly errors at home, and the installation of windows and doors can be adjusted.

All wooden parts must be impregnated with a special compound to reliably protect the wood from decay and wood bugs. Such protection guarantees the integrity and safety of the built house for many years.

Today, every customer wants to have a home that suits for the modern rhythm of life and satisfying the basic requirements:

• quality, strength, comfort, beauty, warmth;
• short turnkey construction time;
• affordable cost (an important point for a customer of any financial level).

The practice of construction makes it possible to build residential buildings of various types and sizes, using proven technologies. There are ready-made plans for houses 8x10, 7x9, 6x9, 9x9, 6x10. You can find the developed projects of frame houses of the attic type with a bay window, with a "cuckoo".

Consider one of the projects of an 8x8 frame house. The building area is 107.64 m2. The height of the first and second floors is 2.7 m. The project is designed for a small family. Such a house is also suitable for one person. The option is quite economical, ideal for permanent residence.Walls and roofs are insulated with mineral wool and are able to withstand large fluctuations in external temperature. Rooms with an area of ​​64 m2 are absolutely comfortable.

An experienced customer usually checks the work at the main stages of construction:

• foundation construction;
• creating a skeleton;
• walling;
• laying floors;
• roof erection;
• finishing and bringing the design to perfection.

The roof of a frame house should ensure its reliability, strength, heat preservation and the overall attractive appearance of the building. Project No. 1 uses a gable roof. Its tilt angle depends on the amount of precipitation in your area (the more there are, the greater the tilt angle should be). Roof material - cermet with 0.5 mm polyester.

In terms of dimensions and decoration, the 8x8 frame house is similar to a house made of wooden beams. At the same time, both houses can have the same thermal characteristics and the same service life, but a log house will cost significantly more. In addition, a log building takes longer to build, and it can only be finished after considerable aging.

There is one more important point - the insulation of frame walls made of mineral wool is resistant to fire, the fire-fighting properties of a log house are much weaker. Experienced people should also caulk the gaps between the beams, because if the work is done carelessly, the house will be blown out.

Externally, a two-story frame house of project No. 1 may seem small. However, a comfortable entrance hall, a bathroom and a spacious room (a hall with a kitchen area) are planned on the first floor. In the attic there are two living rooms with large windows. They, like the plastic windows on the first floor, let in a lot of light, making the premises cozy and comfortable.

The layout is thought out to the smallest detail, which allows you to rationally arrange furniture. The transitions from room to room are very convenient; climbing the stairs to the second floor does not cause any difficulties. The interior design is chosen by the owner of the house.

The appearance of the 8 by 8 frame house project is attractive with a harmonious combination of colors of the roof, walls and windows. If the construction of a building is conceived by wealthy people, then its quick completion will help to start building a solid country house as soon as possible. Subsequently, the house, built according to project No. 1, can be used as a guest house.

All parts of a frame house must be assembled according to technological installations without simplifications and violations. Then a beautiful house, comfortable for living at any time of the year, will be commissioned on a turnkey basis. In such a building, warmth will be kept in winter, and the desired coolness in summer. It will stay dry during the wet off-season and delight the eye in any weather. One has only to take care of the surrounding area, driveway, flower beds, beautiful decor. All these details will brighten your life in your new home. Also, do not forget, with the help of specialists, to solve the issue of connecting to the general networks of the village.

Registration of a house for permanent residence (frame, brick or any other) includes finishing of facades with special materials:

• siding;
• cement-bonded particle boards DSP;
• block house.

Such a decorative finish allows you to get a house with an excellent appearance, which will delight its owners for many years. External design can be anything. You can choose a laconic and austere option, or create a building with a bright personality that will speak of your impeccable taste. It all depends only on your desire and capabilities.
