Construction of the power frame of a house is one of important stages, ensuring the strength and durability of the structure. Wooden beams create the necessary rigidity of the structure. Only after completing the installation of the frame can you begin installation windproof boards and other components.

Power frame for frame house : all installation details

Construction of the first floor of a frame house

The creation of the first floor is the beginning of the construction of a frame house. For the structure, you need to choose high-quality wood; depending on the purpose, the boards may have different cross-sections:

• Walls - 50x200 mm.
• Partitions - 50x50 mm.
• Floors - 50x100 mm.

Assembling the power frame of the first floor of the house must be entrusted to specialists

The algorithm for constructing a frame house looks like this:

1. The walls of the first floor are being built.
2. The interfloor ceiling is being installed.
3. The walls of the second floor are being formed.
4. Gables and purlins are installed.
5. The rafters are being installed.
6. The terrace is being installed.

When designing, it is worth considering whether heated floors will be installed. If its thickness is approximately 100 mm, the walls of the first floor will need to be raised slightly

Construction of the power frame of the second floor

When building a second floor in a frame house, great attention should be paid to its attachment to the interfloor ceiling. For this purpose, honeycomb nails are used. They are hammered by placing them in a “snake” pattern at a short distance from each other.

In some cases for interfloor covering boards with a large cross-section are required. This must be taken into account when drawing upproject of a power frame for a frame house, where the spans, like the total area, are of considerable size

To form the interfloor ceiling, you can use boards with a section of 50x200 mm. Do not forget about the need to make a cutout for the future window between the first and second floors.

If the windows in a frame house will be located between floors, do not forget to provide cutouts for them

Raising the gables of a frame house

One of final stages Creating a power frame for a house involves installing gables and purlins. In the future, rafters will lie on them and will be produced.

First, work is carried out on marking and preparing the pillars of the base, and then the direct raising of the gables. After this, the power frame of the house is considered fully formed.

To erect the power frame of a house, a large number of fasteners will be required.

Canadian technology for building houses has long proven itself in Russia.

So what is “Canadian technology”?

Anyone who wants to build their own own house– build it quickly, inexpensively and at the same time live in it all year round. It is Canadian technology for building houses that meets all of the above requirements and is one of the most promising today.

Foreign experience

Prefabricated houses Canadian technology They are popular not only in their homeland - Canada, they are also widespread in other countries with cold climates, such as Norway, Finland, Sweden. A frame house, thanks to its construction technology, saves residents of northern countries from frosts down to -45°C. This was the main reason why Canadian house construction technology began to be used in Russian cities.

Technology

"Dachny Season" is building canadian houses for 10 years, knows all the features of their construction:

Advantages

Houses using Canadian technology have gained quite a popularity due to their living conditions. It will be as comfortable as in summer time year and in winter. The walls do not absorb moisture and do not freeze. The service life exceeds 80 years. The low thermal conductivity of the walls means that the house quickly warms up and cools down slowly.

Benefits from the “Dachnaya Season”:

1. Prices are lower than competitors! Our company’s motto: “We can afford to build cheaper than others!” Without spending money on renting numerous offices, without “inflating” the staff, but only concentrating on the most important thing - the construction of our facilities, we do not include in the price all the costs that our competitors have to pay for.
2. The construction time for houses is faster! We literally immediately begin our obligations after signing the Agreement. The teams we work with remain friends of our Customers. We work with workers only under a contract; the construction period is specified by both the Customer and the workers! Everything works as one.
3. Warranty and quality – business card companies! We are recommended to their friends and relatives, they often come to us based on recommendations and it’s very nice! Therefore, it’s not scary to include a guarantee for your work in the Contract! This item is the responsibility of the technical

Build a frame house yourself in modern conditions information technologies seems like a no-brainer. The Internet is replete with articles describing the construction process in detail. frame houses. Craftsmen teach how to choose lumber for a frame and how to assemble it. Appeared a large number of educational video content of professional and non-professional level. Numerous members of online forums share multiple opinions on how to properly build a frame house on their own and quickly... It would seem so complicated? But, in practice, only very few who decide to build a frame house on their own can boast positive results, in terms of cost (savings), quality and/or timing. And the point is not only that people tend to overestimate their capabilities, but rather that the success of building a frame house depends on several key points who demand special attention. One of these important points is the power frame of the house, the features of choosing which we will consider in this article.

What lumber is best for a frame house?

When choosing material for structures, you cannot save on lumber. One of the most important criteria is the quality of the lumber. Set of rules SP 31-105-2002 “Design and construction of energy-efficient single-apartment residential buildings with a wooden frame" states that the wooden frame elements must be made from lumber coniferous species not lower than 2nd grade according to GOST 8486.

In addition, certain GOSTs regulate methods for determining humidity, acceptance and control, storage and transportation of lumber.

But is it possible to buy lumber for a frame house of the exact quality you expected? Unfortunately, this happens quite rarely. In practice, you either need to pay extra and sort on the spot, or buy a “pig in a poke.” This is how our market works...

Why is it better to buy a ready-made wooden frame from the factory?

Ready kit wooden elements for a frame has a number of advantages compared to a set of lumber. This is due to many factors that, together, determine the result of the work - the reliable frame of the house. These factors are shown in the Table:

Advantage	A comment
Completeness	Strapping, racks, ceilings, roof structure with rafters, jibs.
Documentation	Album of nodes Specifications Passport products Design and technical documentation Certificate for fire-bioprotective composition Certificate for adhesive composition(for reinforced frame)
Load-bearing characteristics	The structure of the load-bearing frame (racks, frames, beams, joists, truss structure) is laid taking into account all loads, as well as architectural features and planning decisions for the future home.
Regulatory Compliance	The design of the load-bearing frame is carried out in accordance with the requirements regulatory documentation, as well as based on industry best practices.
Individual design	Frame technology allows you to bring almost any project to life. For development individual project no need to pay extra!
Guaranteed material quality	To produce the frame set, selected chamber-dried planed lumber of 1-2 grades is used. No cat, no bag.
Standardization of elements	The frame is designed and manufactured from standardized lumber of design sections.
Constant geometry	The cross-section of the elements does not change before and after the construction of the frame, as well as during the operation of the house (there is no shrinkage). You can start cladding and finishing the frame house right away!
Flat planes	The planes of walls, floors and ceilings of a factory-made load-bearing frame will not require additional work and materials for leveling.
Fire protection	All frame elements are treated with fire-bioprotection in the factory using the dipping method
Quick assembly (constructor)	The frame is assembled by a qualified team in the shortest possible time. Elements are supplied marked, cut and sawed to size according to the project.

Types of power frames for the home. How to choose a Pre-Cut frame?

There are several options on the market for pre-cut pre-cut pre-fabricated frame sets (without cladding with board material, such as OSB) for classic frame houses:

. Frame set made of dry planed boards (145mm or 195mm)

. I-beam frame kit (H - shaped profiles)

. Set of reinforced frame made of glued beams (T-, L- and H-shaped profiles)

What these options have in common is that the frame elements are manufactured in production in accordance with the design (Pre-Cut literally means pre-cut). They arrive at the site already sawn, processed and labeled. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the plank option is the most budget-friendly, but is more demanding on the team’s skills; the I-beam option is based on a lot of OSB and, moreover, requires a large number of fasteners. And the reinforced frame takes first place in terms of spatial rigidity and is assembled much faster than other options (“foolproof”), with a minimum number of fasteners.

Sets of dry planed boards can be produced under various technologies assemblies: Scandinavian, American, SP 31 and others. Such frames are designed by specially trained professionals; All sections and structures are calculated with the direct participation of design engineers. Therefore, the likelihood that the wrong set of elements will arrive at your site is minimized. The kits are accompanied by the necessary documentation for assembly.

The choice of frame option usually comes down to architecture, functional purpose future construction, budget and customer preferences. For example, if you need a dacha or a house where you visit occasionally, it will be enough to choose an option from a board with a cross-section of 145 mm. Such board will do for construction one-story houses with or without attic. If you intend to build a house for permanent residence, where there are more structural requirements, you should pay attention to a frame made of glued beams. If not only the strength of the load-bearing frame is important, but also environmental friendliness, obviously, the option of a load-bearing frame made of I-beams with OSB inserts is not the most suitable.

If you find it difficult to choose, our consultants will be happy to help you.

How to buy a frame kit for your home?

In order to get exactly the final construct that you need, before placing an order for production, it is advisable to:

. have an idea of ​​your dream home (a sketch on a napkin will be enough)

. understand in what mode it will function ( permanent residence, visiting, country option)

. have information about available (preferred) heating options (availability of gas, etc.)

. understand that you need to take time to choose a foundation option

If you do not have necessary information and don’t know where to start - no problem, our specialists will help you.

How to assemble a frame kit for a house with your own hands?

It is not difficult to assemble the frame of a house yourself from factory-made elements if among those involved in the construction there is a person who has the appropriate knowledge and skills. In any case, it is easier to assemble a frame from a construction set with marked elements than from a set of boards and bars. To do this, you will need:
. finished base (slab, grillage, tape, piles)
. project - instructions (included)
. 1-2 assistants
. tools
. fasteners and consumables

If you don’t have a team, time, or lack confidence and experience, you can order the installation of a factory frame by a qualified team. The frame is assembled within 5 - 20 days, depending on the complexity of the project and weather conditions. By the way, the work is carried out year-round and is of an all-season nature.

What to do after assembling the frame?

Let's say you decide to build in stages. A factory frame made of planed and dry boards treated with fire-bioprotection can stand under open air a very long time. However, if there is a desire to preserve the object, it is best to cover the frame with a roof (possibly temporary). At the same time, remember that conservation of an object must be carried out “wisely”. Do not forget that a roof without walls is a kind of “sail”, so conservation will need to be done special measures. If it is possible to make a facade, install windows and doors, then at this stage of readiness you can safely leave the frame house for a long time.

We will be happy to help you bring your plans to life!

Frame construction has gained popularity due to its price and technological accessibility. This technology allows you to build quickly. At the same time, simple available materials and it turns out easy warm walls. However, there are some rules that must be followed when working with this technology. They help to build a frame house reliably and correctly, select suitable panels and boards, provide high-quality insulation, perform sheathing, and assemble the roof. So, how to build a frame house correctly?

Correct frame house

Frame construction – new technology, in which the sequence of work may be different. For example, you can first assemble the frame, then install the roof and assemble the walls. Or you can do the work differently: after constructing the frame, hang wall cladding, which will enhance its strength, and then assemble the roof.

Building with attic and balcony.

To prevent discrepancies, here is what a diagram of a proper frame house looks like:

• Prepare and mark the area.
• Pour or assemble the foundation.
• Build a complete frame and rafters for the roof. For multi-story construction - assemble the frame of the first floor, install the floors and assemble the frame of the second floor. After this, assemble the rafters.
• Hang a roof that will cover the interior space from precipitation.
• Hang the outer wall sheathing under the protection of the assembled roof.
• Place insulation into the frame.
• Hang interior lining frame.
• Make a subfloor.
• Install windows and doors.
• Lay electrical wiring, install water supply and sewerage pipes, and arrange heating.
• Execute interior decoration floor and walls.

You can clearly see how to properly build a frame house in the video. We will describe in more detail each stage of the construction of a new building.

Preparation for construction

Preparation for construction includes the following work:

1. Prepare construction tool. You will need a level, tape measure, hacksaw and Circular Saw, drill and screwdriver, hammer, possibly a concrete mixer. Work gloves and a pencil will also come in handy. It is necessary to provide a place for storing tools - utility room, canopy
2. It is necessary to provide a supply for the operation of power tools; for this, they pull wires from poles or connect to neighbors.
3. Arrange an entrance to the frame construction site.
4. Perform preliminary markings for ground work - mark the location of the future structure on the ground with pegs.

Excavation and foundation

The foundation of the future house will be built in accordance with the project. It can be concrete slab or concrete strip. It can also be piled - stand on metal or concrete pillars. To arrange the foundation, it is necessary to remove part of the soil and pour concrete into the prepared holes or place ready-made concrete blocks.

On a note

Work on preparing holes and ditches for the foundation is called ground or earthworks.

During excavation work, holes and ditches are prepared that are necessary for pouring or assembling the foundation. The type of foundation and its design determine the size of the pits. Therefore, the choice of base determines the volume ground work- the amount of earth that needs to be dug up.

Trench under strip foundation.

When pouring a concrete foundation, work is performed in the following sequence:

• Prepare a pit of the desired shape and size.
• The bottom of the trench is covered with sand - the so-called sand cushion. The layer of sand will ensure accelerated drainage of water from under the foundation.
• Place formwork - boards or plywood along the edges of the pit.
• Reinforcement is placed in the formwork to ensure the strength of the future foundation of the house.
• Vents (pipes for underground ventilation) are laid.
• Concrete is mixed and poured. Also concrete mortar You can order it at the factory and receive it ready for pouring - in a concrete mixer.
• Anchors are installed on unhardened concrete - fastenings for future frame supports and lower trim.
• After pouring, it is kept for 6-7 days if the weather is hot, and 9-10 days if the outside temperature is around +20°C. At this time, the concrete gains the necessary strength. Afterwards, they begin to assemble the power frame of the frame house.

In order not to waste time, while the concrete is curing, you can prepare lumber: cut the beams to size frame racks, partitions, mowing, treat them with an antiseptic.

Power frame and roof

The power frame of the house is assembled in accordance with the project. Dimensions are indicated in the drawings and diagrams supporting elements, their locations, the distance between adjacent racks. The drawings also describe mounting methods various boards and beams with each other.

Power frame.

The frame is assembled from individual parts. The assembly of each part is carried out in two stages. The first is the assembly of the frame section “on the ground”. The second is the lifting of the assembled section and its installation and fastening. This technology makes it easy to assemble the right frame house with your own hands.

Here is a description of the sequence of assembling the wall frame:

1. Future vertical racks connected to the boards of the lower and upper trim on the ground, according to the design diagram.
2. The assembled frame of each wall is lifted and installed on the foundation, attached to its surface.
3. The second top frame and floor beams are laid on top of the frame.
4. On top of the floor beams - the walls of the second floor, or attic, are assembled from frame elements prepared on the ground.
5. The assembly of rafters for the roof begins with the assembly and installation of the frame under the gables.
6. The rafter system is assembled - also from, which are pre-assembled from boards on the ground. For ease of assembly, all rafters are made according to the same template and have the same dimensions. They are lifted onto the roof in assembled form, installed and secured to top harness top floor.

A proper frame house uses a technology in which the roof is built first, and only then the walls are sheathed. Therefore, after assembling the rafters, they are covered with film, lathing and roofing - metal tiles, ondulin.

How to sheathe a building correctly

The wall cladding of the house forms a surface, protects from precipitation and ensures the stability of the house, preventing its tilt. In order for the wall to perform strength functions, the cladding is made of wall materials of a certain thickness. How to sheathe a frame house correctly?

External finishing with imitation masonry.

The dimensions of wall panels are regulated by GOST. So, for one-story houses, if OSB, plywood or cement slab(DSP), slabs with a thickness of at least 9 mm are required, and for two-story ones - at least 12 mm.

The correct frame wall of the house is assembled from individual PVC panels. In this case, the joints between adjacent panels must be reliably insulated or overlap each other. For example, when covering a wall with thin wall materials, siding, first hang the bottom row of wall panels, then the top row located above it. So the wall is sheathed completely from bottom to top. In this case, the subsequent row of wall cladding overlaps the previous one by several cm.

The wall cladding is fastened with self-tapping screws. The sheathing is screwed to the frame wooden racks. Therefore, the process of assembling a wall is called “constructor”.

Correct wall

The frame wall performs the function of protecting the interior of the house from heat and cold, from the encroachments of strangers, from rain and wind. To perform each of the necessary functions, a layer of material is intended, which is part of the frame wall cake. Which is correct?

Ventilated facade.

• For strength and bearing capacity walls - build a strong supporting frame.
• For heat capacity, the internal space of the walls is filled with heat-insulating material.
• To protect against precipitation, use moisture-resistant outer wall cladding.
• For exterior and interior decoration, as well as for protection from moisture and getting wet, wall cladding is required.

In addition, additional materials are used that ensure the functioning of the main layers of the frame wall. For example, cotton insulation must be covered with a vapor barrier film. This protects it from dampness.

On a note

The thermal capacity of a cotton insulator decreases sharply when moisture gets inside it. Therefore, dampness inside construction wool is unacceptable.

Here is a minimum list of layers of a frame wall and the order of their alternation, what it should look like the right pie frame house:

1. Internal wall cladding – forms the surface of the walls of internal premises. Executed from panel materials– plywood, plasterboard, wooden lining, MDF or OSB panels.
2. Polyethylene film to prevent dampness of the insulation from inside. Vapor barrier is important for cotton insulation and is not important for polystyrene foam and polyurethane foam.
3. Insulation is a heat-insulating material characterized by low thermal conductivity. It ensures the safety of heat inside and cool air in interior spaces hot summer. The traditional choice of insulating material for a frame house is mineral or basalt wool. Also sometimes they use expanded polystyrene or combine cotton wool and foamed styrene materials.
4. Film with outside insulation is a membrane material that allows moisture particles to escape and does not allow them to penetrate into the insulation. The membrane structure ensures that the film allows steam to pass in only one direction. This layer is important for cotton insulation and does not make sense when insulating a house with polystyrene foam.
5. External wall cladding – forms the surface of the walls from the outside, protects from precipitation and mechanical damage. It must be made of durable, beautiful and waterproof material. Used frequently metallic profile, plastic siding, wooden boards or profiled timber, as well as OSB panels followed by plastering or painting.

When using cotton wool insulation in a “pie”, the walls of a frame house provide ventilation gaps. The gap with outside. He plays a role ventilation space, through which wet steam escapes.

It is necessary to take into account a large number of conditions in order to build the right frame house; the video will show the main points that you need to pay attention to.

Correct gender

Flooring is done before insulating the walls to make it convenient to move around inside the house during work. The correct floor in a frame house must be insulated. To do this, a heat insulator is placed between the floor joists. Afterwards, they cover it with a vapor barrier and go onto the walls. Sheathing boards are placed on top of the vapor barrier film. Moreover, if a plank floor is planned, then the sheathing is placed on top of the joists, along their entire length. If a less durable floor made of OSB or plywood is planned, then the sheathing is laid across the joists. Afterwards, a finished floor is laid on top of the sheathing and they move on to insulating the walls.

How to properly insulate

Cotton insulation material is mainly used. – mineral basalt wool – low-flammable material for natural basis, which is obtained from molten stone - basalt. How to properly insulate a frame house?

On a note

At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish between glass wool and mineral wool. It is important to know that mineral basalt wool is more expensive and much more durable (40 years instead of 20 years for glass wool).

Cotton insulation is characterized by compressibility, which is used when installing the material between frame supports. Mineral wool slabs or mats are slightly compressed when placed between the frame studs. Then they are held between the supports without additional fixation.

We lay mineral wool in the frame of the house.

It starts with the walls, where mineral mats are used, which are characterized by low compressibility and increased rigidity. In such mats, the insulation does not sag and retains heat for a long time.

On a note

Using roll insulation additional horizontal beams are needed on which the cotton wool will “lie”. This will prevent it from sagging or caked over time.

Uses ready-made slabs, in which foam plastic slabs are laid as insulation. However, this is a worse option for wall insulation, more affordable and inferior in environmental friendliness and climate control.

Foam plastics “do not breathe”; they do not provide natural gas exchange through the walls of rooms. What creates an unhealthy microclimate inside the house.

Windows and doors

Almost always, the production and installation of windows is ordered from a company specializing in this type of work. Doors – non-standard sizes also made to order. Standard blades 60x180 is purchased together with the boat in finished form.

Installation PVC windows with your own hands.

The choice of door material is determined by the location of its installation. For a room it could be chipboard or wood. As a street front door You can put metal or fiberglass.

Engineering Communication

During assembly, walls are laid inside it engineering Communication. They are placed on top of the vapor barrier film so that the cross-section of the wire or pipe is not compressed by subsequent wall cladding. For the convenience of subsequent wall cladding, small recesses are drilled in the sheathing through which a pipe or cable wire.

Finishing

Interior decoration begins with hanging wall panels from the inside of the wall. For this purpose, materials with flat surface. Or finishing wall finishing materials.

Interior walls are often made of plasterboard or OSB boards. In this case, OSB requires additional plaster. And drywall - sealing joints. Also interior walls frame houses are often equipped MDF panels or natural wooden lining.

The power frame of a house under the roof is a common type of log house for shrinkage. When choosing such a “semi-finished” cottage, you need to be confident in your own skills, since most construction work you will need to do it yourself.

What is a roof frame?

Having paid the money, the customer will receive a package consisting of:

• Poured strip foundation.
• Assembled frame.
• Installed insulation.
• Formed rafter system with installed roofing material.

By by and large it's just a "box" without the inside and exterior finishing. In order for it to turn into a full-fledged frame house, it will take a lot of time and effort.

What advantages does such a frame have?

First of all this affordable price. For very reasonable money, the client receives all the main parts of the cottage, which will only need to be brought to the desired condition. If you order a similar building with finishing, it will cost several times more. This often becomes a decisive factor when choosing such a “semi-finished product”.

The speed of construction also plays an important role. Pouring the foundation, assembling the frame and installing the rafters will not take more than a couple of weeks.

The third advantage can be considered the unusual nature of such a project. In the “box” you can make absolutely any layout, and also use any Decoration Materials without looking back at traditions and habits. Often such “semi-finished products” turn out to be of much higher quality than cottages with ordered finishing.
