The return on investment in warmer walls is 303 years.

According to the required thermal resistance for external walls of residential buildings in the Moscow region - 3.14 m2*S/W.

Thermal resistance of an external wall built using a thermally efficient ceramic block Cayman30 and lined with slotted bricks - 3.7344 m2*S/W.
Cayman30- 0.094 W/m*S.

Thermal resistance of an external wall built using gas silicateD500 blocks with a wall thickness of 500mm and lined with slotted bricks - 4.1526 m2*S/W.
Thermal calculations are presented below.
Thermal conductivity coefficient λа aerated concrete blocks D500 - 0.126 W/m*S.

Total costs for building a house according to the project 21-65 will be lower by 381,317 rubles when choosing a ceramic block Cayman30. A detailed comparative cost calculation is presented below.

Walls made of aerated concrete block D500 with a wall thickness of 500 mm have a higher thermal resistance, by 9% higher. You can count on a return on investment in “warmer” external walls due to savings on heating during the operation of the house.

The question is the return period of the investments made.

Obviously that heat loss during the heating season will occur not only through external walls.

30-35% heat loss occurs through ventilation ducts and chimneys.
The thermal resistance of modern window structures is 3 times lower than the thermal resistance of an external block wall Cayman30. As a result, heat loss through windows is 20-25% .
Heat escapes through the structure of the walls and floor of the basement, as well as the attic floor. This is also 10-15% all heat losses.
The maximum is on the walls 30% heat losses, i.e. in the heating bill, only 30 percent of the amount falls on the walls.

If the house you are considering is planned to be connected to main gas heating, then during the heating period the average bill, including not only heating costs, but also energy costs for preparing hot water, will not exceed the amount of 2,000 rubles.

As noted above, the thermal resistance of an external block wall structure gas silicate blocks D500 will be higher by 9% .

Let's calculate the approximate monthly savings associated with replacement Cayman30 to a warmer one gas silicate blocks D500 with wall thickness 500mm.

Savings = 2,000 x 30% x 9% = 180 rubles/month.

In the climate zone where you plan to build a house, the heating season lasts 7 months.

As noted above, investing in a warmer wall will result in increased costs for 381,317 rubles.

Let's do the math return on investment period by saving on heating costs.

381,317 rubles / 180 rubles/month / 7 months = 303 years.

Answer:

Hello, Natalia.

The house project you are considering 29-51 refers to a series of houses -

The house project is designed using gas silicate blocks .

The house project you are considering, in which a ceramic block is used as the load-bearing wall material Cayman30, presented in our catalog under number .

Ceramic blocks Cayman30 superior gas silicate/aerated concrete blocks according to all the main characteristics: strength, heat saving. At the same time, the final costs will be lower when choosing ceramics. For more information on this, see the comparative cost calculation below.

Application of ceramic blocks Cayman30 allows you to build country houses that meet all current standards, and in particular, those that meet SNiP “Thermal protection of buildings” for cities such as:

Ekaterinburg,
Novosibirsk,
Permian,
Krasnoyarsk, without inclusion in the design of an external wall weak link- layer insulation.

At the same time, the cost of constructing one square meter of housing will be one of the lowest when compared with any stone block, including in comparison with gas silicate blocks.

Projects of houses made from ceramic blocks are included in the promotion Free house design .
According to the terms of the promotion when purchasing ceramic blocks Cayman30 In our company we will refund you the cost of the design documentation you paid for.

Let's compare the materials under consideration - gas silicate blocks and ceramic blocks - according to their characteristics and construction costs.

Kerakam Kaiman30 gas silicate block D500 100 109 rubles.

1. Strength.

The strength of wall materials is determined by the maximum pressure of the distributed load on the test sample and is characterized by the number of kilograms of force (kgf) applied to one square centimeter of the surface of the material.

So ceramic block Cayman30 has a strength grade of M75, which means that one square centimeter can withstand a load of 75 kg.

The strength grade of a gas silicate block with a density of 500 kg/m 3 varies from M35 to M50 among different manufacturers. As a result, according to the instructions of the manufacturers of gas silicate blocks, every third row of masonry should be reinforced, as shown in the photo below.

Ceramic block masonry Kaiman 30 reinforced only at the corners of the building, a meter in each direction. For reinforcement, a basalt-plastic mesh is used, placed in the masonry joint. Labor-intensive gating and subsequent covering of the reinforcement in the groove with glue is not required.

When installing ceramic blocks, masonry mortar is applied only along the horizontal joint of the masonry. The mason applies the mortar to one and a half to two meters of masonry at once and places each subsequent block along the tongue and groove. The laying is carried out very quickly.

When installing gas silicate blocks, the solution must also be applied to the side surface of the blocks. Obviously, the speed and complexity of masonry with this installation method will only increase.

Also, sawing ceramic blocks is not difficult for professional masons. For this purpose, a reciprocating saw is used; gas silicate blocks are also sawed using the same saw. Only one block needs to be cut in each row of the wall.

2. The ability of the structures under consideration to resist heat transfer, i.e. keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer.

Below is a thermal engineering calculation performed according to the methodology described in SNiP “Thermal protection of buildings”.As well as an economic justification for the use of the Kaiman30 ceramic block when comparing the costs of building the house in question from gas silicate blocks.

To begin with, we will determine the required thermal resistance for the external walls of residential buildings for the city of Bronnitsy, as well as the thermal resistance created by the structures under consideration.

The ability of a structure to retain heat is determined by such a physical parameter as the thermal resistance of the structure ( R, m 2 *S/W).

Let us determine the degree-day of the heating period, °C ∙ day/year, using the formula (SNiP “Thermal protection of buildings”) for the city Bronnitsy.

GSOP = (t in - t from)z from,

Where,
t V- design temperature of the internal air of the building, °C, taken when calculating the enclosing structures of groups of buildings indicated in Table 3 (SNiP “Thermal protection of buildings”): according to pos. 1 - according to the minimum values of the optimal temperature of the corresponding buildings according to GOST 30494 (in the range 20 - 22 °C);
t from- average outside air temperature, °C during the cold period, for the city. Bronnitsy meaning -3,4 °C;
z from- duration, days/year, of the heating period, adopted according to the set of rules for a period with an average daily outside air temperature of no more than 8 °C, for the city Bronnitsy meaning 212 days.

GSOP = (20- (-3.4))*212 = 4,960.8 °C*day.

The value of the required thermal resistance for the external walls of residential buildings will be determined by the formula (SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings)

R tr 0 =a*GSOP+b

Where,
R tr 0- required thermal resistance;
a and b- coefficients, the values of which should be taken according to Table No. 3 of SNiP “Thermal Protection of Buildings” for the corresponding groups of buildings, for residential buildings the value A should be taken equal to 0.00035, the value b - 1,4

R tr 0 =0.00035*4 960.8+1.4 = 3.1363 m 2 *S/W

Formula for calculating the conditional thermal resistance of the structure under consideration:

R0 = Σ δ n /λ n + 0,158

Where,
Σ – symbol of layer summation for multilayer structures;
δ - layer thickness in meters;
λ - thermal conductivity coefficient of the layer material subject to operational humidity;
n- layer number (for multilayer structures);
0.158 is a correction factor, which, for simplicity, can be taken as a constant.

Formula for calculating the reduced thermal resistance.

R r 0 = R 0 x r

Where,
r– coefficient of thermal technical homogeneity of structures with heterogeneous sections (joints, heat-conducting inclusions, vestibules, etc.)

According to standard STO 00044807-001-2006 according to Table No. 8, the value of the coefficient of thermal uniformity r for masonry of large-format hollow porous ceramic stones and gas silicate blocks should be taken equal to 0,98 .

At the same time, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this coefficient does not take into account the fact that

we recommend masonry using warm masonry mortar (this significantly levels out the heterogeneity at the joints);
as connections between the load-bearing wall and the facing masonry, we use not metal, but basalt-plastic connections, which conduct heat literally 100 times less than steel connections (this significantly eliminates the inhomogeneities formed due to heat-conducting inclusions);
The slopes of window and door openings, according to our design documentation, are additionally insulated with extruded polystyrene foam (which eliminates heterogeneity in the areas of window and door openings and vestibules).

From which we can conclude that when following the instructions of our working documentation, the coefficient of masonry uniformity tends to unity. But in calculating the reduced thermal resistance R r 0 we will still use the table value of 0.98.

R r 0 must be greater than or equal to R 0 required.

We determine the operating mode of the building in order to understand what the thermal conductivity coefficient is λ a or λ in taken when calculating the conditional thermal resistance.

The method for determining the operating mode is described in detail in SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings" . Based on the specified regulatory document, we will follow the step-by-step instructions.

1st step. Let's define saccording to the humidity of the building region - the city. Bronnitsy using Appendix B of SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings".

According to the table the city Bronnitsy located in zone 2 (normal climate). We accept value 2 - normal climate.

2nd step. Using Table No. 1 of SNiP “Thermal protection of buildings” we determine the humidity conditions in the room.

At the same time, please note that during the heating season the air humidity in the room drops to 15-20%. During the heating season, air humidity must be raised to at least 35-40%. A humidity level of 40-50% is considered comfortable for humans.
In order to raise the humidity level, it is necessary to ventilate the room, you can use air humidifiers, and installing an aquarium will help.

According to Table 1, the humidity conditions in the room during the heating period at air temperatures from 12 to 24 degrees and relative humidity up to 50% - dry.

3rd step. Using Table No. 2 of SNiP “Thermal protection of buildings” we determine the operating conditions.

To do this, we find the intersection of the line with the value of the humidity regime in the room, in our case it is dry, with humidity column for the city Bronnitsy, as was found out earlier, this value normal.

Summary.
According to the SNiP methodology "Thermal protection of buildings" in the calculation of conditional thermal resistance ( R0) value should be applied under operating conditions A, i.e. thermal conductivity coefficient must be used λ a.

Let's compare the materials under consideration - gas silicate blocks and ceramic blocks - according to their characteristics and construction costs.

Looking ahead, I inform you that the construction of the house you are considering from a ceramic block Kerakam Kaiman30, superior in all respects gas silicate block D500 , will be less expensive, the savings will be 114,052 rubles.

You can see the calculation in numbers at the end of this answer.

1. Strength.

So ceramic block Cayman30 has a strength grade of M75, which means that one square centimeter can withstand a load of 75 kg.

2. The ability of the structures under consideration to resist heat transfer, i.e. keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer.

t from- average outside air temperature, °C during the cold period, for the city. Dmitrov meaning -3,1 °C;
z from- duration, days/year, of the heating period, adopted according to the set of rules for a period with an average daily outside air temperature of no more than 8 °C, for the city Dmitrov meaning 216 days.

GSOP = (20- (-3.1))*216 = 4,989.6 °C*day.

The value of the required thermal resistance for the external walls of residential buildings will be determined by the formula (SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings)

R tr 0 =a*GSOP+b

R tr 0 =0.00035*4 989.6+1.4 = 3.1464 m 2 *S/W

Formula for calculating the conditional thermal resistance of the structure under consideration:

R0 = Σ δ n /λ n + 0,158

Formula for calculating the reduced thermal resistance.

R r 0 = R 0 x r

Where,
r– coefficient of thermal technical homogeneity of structures with heterogeneous sections (joints, heat-conducting inclusions, vestibules, etc.)

At the same time, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this coefficient does not take into account the fact that

Layout of a two-story house with a terrace, a seating area between the dining room and living room. The total area of the house is 200 sq. m. m.
In modern suburban construction, the most popular layout is considered to be a two-story house with a terrace. Such a project can create a natural and optimal zoning of space. In the lower part of the room there are common rooms, for example, a kitchen, living room and guest room, and in the upper part there are personal apartments. These are perfect for living all year round.

So, the whole structure begins with . It can be under a canopy, fenced or simply open. This project uses the latter option, since in the summer it is considered one of the most optimal. The terrace can be used for several purposes. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

The first is to consider the terrace as a place for rest and relaxation. Here you can place a sun lounger, allocate a place for preparing barbecue and have picnics. This option is optimal for people who choose seasonal accommodation.
The second option is to place a place for eating food in the warm season. For example, you can have breakfasts and dinners with the whole family here. To do this, you need to place a table, chairs and an additional table here so that you can do cutting and slicing food right here.
And the last third option is to arrange the terrace as a play area. If you have small children in your family, this offer will be the most optimal. Install a small swing, slide and arrange toys. In the summer, your children will be able to spend most of the day there.

option for interior design and furniture arrangement on the open terrace of a country house

Thus, a terrace can be used for many purposes, and for each of them it will be a convenient option. In addition, its presence means many advantages, for example:

It can make the area of the entire house larger, and turn the yard into an integral part of the building.
A deck can increase the value of your home.
If you decorate it beautifully and usefully, the yard will immediately turn into a useful space that will be not only beautiful, but also functional.
You can build a terrace on a slope (if the landscape allows), and then you will save a lot on leveling the surface.

The terrace is the beginning of the whole house, and precedes the vestibule, the size of which is 2.6 square meters. m. From it you can go to the hall (16.7 sq. m.). The layout of this house is unusual. Here three rooms are combined into one: , and a dining room with a living room. Let's take a closer look at this from a positive point of view, and start with the kitchen-dining room. This option is common due to lack of space.

Highlight three in one

Cooking can become not only a family responsibility, but also a fun event with your closest friends and relatives. That is why the kitchen in this project is arranged attractively, so that the whole process is exciting and not boring. The furniture in this kitchen is located in such a way that several people can cook at once. During the design, it was also taken into account that most of the work should be carried out facing the dining area. All the charm of such a kitchen will immediately disappear if the hostess is preparing food, turning her back to the guests and looking at the wall in front of her.

option for arranging furniture and interior design of a kitchen intended for several people

Thanks to the fact that it is combined with the dining room, food preparation and consumption take place in the same space. You don't have to carry ready-made hot dishes to another room. However, a lot of attention is paid to the placement of the table.

The next feature of the layout is the combination of the dining room and living room. This is necessary in order to achieve a single room in which, if possible, a similar style will reign. The recreation area between the dining room and living room will become the dividing space between these rooms. In this area it is worth placing a table with a computer, a game console, toys for small children and much more. The main advantage is that looking after children will be much simpler and easier, since you are in the same room, but at the same time doing completely different things.

Second floor

The layout of the second floor of the house begins with a medium-sized hall with an area of 12.7 square meters. m. This is a distribution place on the second floor, the middle from which you can go to any room. There are four living rooms and two technical rooms on the floor. The living rooms include 4 bedrooms. Their dimensions are 18 square meters. m., 17.3 sq. m., 17.0 sq. m. and 18.1 sq. m respectively. All bedrooms have two windows at once, which well illuminate the space during the day. On the floor there is also a wardrobe (5.3 sq. m.) and a bathroom (9.8 sq. m.). The entire building does not exceed an area of 200 square meters. m.

Second floor layout with 4 spacious bedrooms

This layout of a two-story house with a terrace is famous for such qualities as durability, strength and excellent insulation of heat and sound. This building can be classified as a classic of suburban construction.

Project of a two-story house with a flower terrace

Owning your own home is the dream of many families, which can be easily achieved. However, the most difficult moment in this matter will be the choice of project, since subsequent construction, as well as your future life, depends on this. The two-storey house presented here with a terrace of up to 200 sq. m. m. will be a wonderful option for a large family who loves to spend time outdoors. Lightness, smoothness and airiness reign in the external and internal appearance of the house. Everything is decorated with delicate flowers and light accessories that perfectly complement the overall interior.

Floral motifs and terrace

The entrance to the house begins with a terrace, the area of which is 5.1 sq. m. m. The terrace is an open area, which is fenced with railings. It is often considered as an architectural part of the entire house. It is for this reason that its design needs to be thought through carefully. As was said, the house should personify tenderness and lightness. His style should have not only clear lines, but also smooth transitions and blurred boundaries. In order for the terrace to become a wonderful addition to the home, it will be designed in a romantic style with a lot of flower plants.

Project of a two-story country house with a terrace of up to 200 sq. m.

In the summer, these will be annual plants in tubs placed around the entire perimeter of the terrace. Furniture should be light, openwork, easy to move and clean. The lighting at night will not be bright; on the contrary, it will be a little dim. The color scheme should be selected exclusively in light colors. Such a terrace will delight the eye and attract everyone's attention.

Delicate style combined with elegance

The house begins with a small vestibule (4.1 sq.m.), from which you can go to the hall (15.0 sq.m.). Racks and hangers for outerwear and shoes will be located here. Since the hall involves the use of darker colors, you will need to use mirrors. They will serve not only as a necessary and useful item, but also as a decoration element. Lighting will play a big role in the design of this space. It is recommended to pay attention to the lighting of different colors.

There are several ways out of the hall. The first leads to the guest room, which measures 13.6 square meters. m. It is recommended to decorate this room in sandy tones, and in order to give it beauty and expressiveness, it is better to use elegant furniture. An excellent element in this room are the windows located opposite each other. Once you choose the right curtains, the room will look completely different.

Another room accessible from the hall is the living room. The area of this room is 28.0 square meters. m. To ensure that this large space does not seem “heavy”, a large number of windows are provided. There is no single style solution in this room, but the main goal when decorating is to achieve elegance and beauty. Unusual furniture, tulle on the windows, delicate accessories - all this will help complete the task.

Built-in garage in the house

In another part of the house on the ground floor there is a small corridor that leads to the garage. It is very convenient, since you can enter it directly from your home as well as exit it after leaving your car there. This advantage is especially pleasant when it is damp and raining outside. Another advantage of a house with a garage is that it is much easier and more economical to connect communications to it, since the built-in garage is part of the house.

However, along with these advantages, some negative qualities also appear. For example, modern cars, despite all their advantages, emit unpleasant odors and also create noise. But it is worth noting that this house is designed competently. It features forced ventilation and sound insulation.

Second floor

The second floor begins with a hall, the area of which is 3.4 square meters. m. Since there are no windows here, it is worth taking care of proper lighting. It is recommended to use mirrors and light colors to make the space visually larger and brighter. Also, attention should be paid to flowers; here they can be placed on the walls.

Immediately after the hall there is a corridor with an area of 6.4 square meters. m. At the end of the room there is only one window. From this corridor you can enter a room where the main lighting comes from connected windows along the wall.

The next room that can be accessed from the hall is the bedroom. Its area is 16.3 square meters. m. This large area needs to be decorated competently and tastefully. For example, a large bed, a desk, light curtains and everything in light colors. Thus, it will be possible to create a place where you can really relax after a hard day at work. The other bedroom has an area of 13.6 square meters. m. It is absolutely no different from the previous one, even in the number of windows.

And the last bedroom on the floor has an area of 12.2 square meters. m. There are also two bathrooms on the floor, the first (2.2 sq. m.) has an entrance from the hall, and the other (2.3 sq. m.) from the largest bedroom.

So magnificent, but despite this, absolutely everything has been thought out here. Utility premises, places for receiving guests, a work area and personal rooms - all this includes this building. This two-story house with a terrace is suitable for a family of five.

Beautiful house designs with a terrace: catalog, photo

Projects of houses with a terrace are becoming the most popular in 2018. This section of the catalog contains the best designs of houses with a terrace. They are distinguished by practical and cozy layouts of houses with terraces, solutions that will allow you to build a house with a terrace economically, within budget.

The layout of house projects with a terrace is traditional - the exit to the terrace is located in the living room, but it is possible to place a terrace near other rooms.

House project plans with a terrace: what is the purpose of the terrace?

Installing an open terrace will give you unlimited space and is suitable for a private cottage of any type. The excellent level of lighting in the surrounding areas of the house with a terrace will appeal to sun lovers. But the absence of a canopy will make its use dependent on the weather.
The original and standard design of a country house with a covered terrace is convenient for its almost year-round use. Canopies protect the terrace from the scorching sun and rain. You can turn such an area into an original veranda or a cozy corner by installing balustrades and installing fences.

Architectural designs of houses with closed terraces are distinguished by shading of the adjacent premises. If two-story or one-story houses with a terrace (photos, diagrams, preliminary designs, videos can be viewed in this section of the catalog) are too shaded, you can consider installing a partial canopy.

Layout of houses with a terrace in relation to the cardinal directions

New two-story or one-story residential building with a terrace orientedsouth facing, will give maximum light and warmth to the rooms adjacent to the terrace. But in order to make it comfortable, a removable canopy should be provided, which will reduce the amount of sun rays in the summer heat.

House plans with terrace facing to the west side, a good option for those who plan to use it in the afternoon. The setting sun will illuminate it even with a closed structure that can protect the space from strong western winds.

The project of a one-story house with a terrace or a two-story private cottage (sketches, drawings of some of them are posted on the website), the terrace of which is oriented to the East, will provide protection from the scorching sun in the afternoon and the freshness of early breakfasts in the morning rays.

North terrace will create pleasant diffused light and is best suited as a “room” for drawing or activities with children. Therefore, it is important to make it open and overlooking a well-lit garden.

Our house designs are mainly equipped with one or more terraces. We offer clients individual design of houses with a terrace at average market prices. If the terrace is supposed to be open, then you can abandon its construction without changing the project, which will reduce the cost of turnkey construction and, in general, will reduce the developer’s cost estimate.

Our design documentation contains the necessary components for the construction of a terrace. You can make a monolithic terrace of any size and shape, which is why we do not indicate the volume of materials for the terrace.

Every person dreams of buying, or better yet building, their own home. And if dreams come true, then a 2-story house is often a priority. After all, the construction of a one-story structure requires a large plot of land, and not everyone has it. That is why, to increase living space and save free yard space, two-story houses are built.

A two-story house, both during construction and during operation, will not be as expensive as a mansion with three floors or higher. At the same time, it looks more solid than one-story chalets or bungalows, and it also confirms the status of the owners. And most importantly, any layout of houses and cottages with two floors is possible.

The area of the house on two floors is quite enough to bring the most daring ideas to life. And this is far from the only advantage of modern, cozy and comfortable two-story country houses.

Advantages of two-story houses

Building a comfortable two-story house today is not as expensive as most consumers believe. Of course, such a choice will not cost less than a one-story building, but it is worth it. You can choose a ready-made project for a 2-floor house with a layout or create an individual one. Professional architects and designers will be happy to help you make your dreams of a two-story country house come true and offer relevant solutions that suit your budget.

The main advantages of a country two-story house:

Rational use of land. If you have received a very small plot of land within the city or beyond, naturally, you will want to equip it with maximum benefit so that every square meter can work. Why take up valuable real estate with a squat, one-story house? It is better to distribute the same premises on two floors, and equip a garden and a recreation area with a gazebo and barbecue on the site.

High level of comfort. Two floors make it possible to very clearly separate the rooms in which people sleep and relax from the so-called common rooms and work rooms. Traditionally, bedrooms and offices are located on the second floor, and the living room, dining room, kitchen, and playroom are on the first floor. Thus, several generations of families with different daily routines and interests can live in one house with all the amenities.

Reliable and simple design. Some people decide to save money on the design of a two-story house and look for an alternative option with an attic. In fact, it is not cheaper at all, and sometimes even more expensive. After all, correctly designing and building structures with a sloping roof, correctly connecting all communications to the attic, insulating it, making it comfortable and safe for living is actually much more troublesome than doing all the same work when designing a house with a full two floors. If you need additional useful meters of living space, it makes sense to immediately choose a two-story house rather than a building with an attic.

So, beautiful two-story houses are the ideal balance between usable space and the costs of creating a project and construction, aesthetics and comfort, the necessary personal space for each family member, but without frills. It is quite possible to ensure such characteristics - if the project is developed by specialists who are well aware of all the intricacies of the construction process.

Features of the design and construction of two-story cottages

There are several nuances that should be taken into account when drawing up a project for a two-story house.

Layout. Typically, the ground floor contains a garage, kitchen, living room, storage rooms, and guest bathroom. On the second floor there are bedrooms and bathrooms for the family. Basement and attic spaces are often additionally equipped. They usually serve as saunas, game rooms or gyms. But if the standard layout does not suit you, and you want to deviate from standard solutions, the finished project can be redone or a new one can be created.

Stairs. In fact, designing stairs is also included in the previous paragraph. But the moment is so broad and significant that it is worth considering it separately. Stairs are one of the main disadvantages of two-story houses. Firstly, they take up usable space. Secondly, this is a separate column for the costs of design, materials and construction work. Thirdly, the stairs are unsafe if small children, elderly people, and disabled people live in the house - this must be taken into account at the stage of choosing a two-story house. But you can’t give up the stairs either. With a competent approach, the staircase will successfully cope with its tasks without any threat to the residents of a two-story house. And it will become the highlight of the interior if it is beautifully decorated in accordance with the overall style of the house.

Foundation. On the one hand, the foundation area will be smaller than when constructing a one-story building. But on the other hand, it must be stronger and more reliable in order to withstand the supporting floors of two floors. It is important not only to choose the right type of foundation and its design. The type of soil, topography of the site, climatic conditions and amount of precipitation, and many other seemingly small details are also taken into account. However, if you ignore them, the house will, at best, serve no more than five years, and at worst, its operation will end in disaster.

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the “Low-Rise Country” exhibition of houses.

All these nuances should be taken into account already at the stage of designing the future home of your dreams. Of course, a person far from engineering, architecture and construction will not be able to cope with this task on his own - only professionals should deal with design.

Advice: if you decide to build a two-story house among a village of one-story buildings, it makes sense to ask the city planning authorities whether this is allowed. It's not always all about the financial issue. Perhaps your neighbors did not add more floors to their house not because they do not have the funds for it, but because of unsuitable soil or for other equally compelling reasons.

What to build a two-story house from

There are many building materials for building houses; the choice depends on a number of factors: financial capabilities, design features of the future house, climatic conditions of the region, and finally, the architectural style of the house. Modern developers use the following types of building materials for two-story houses:

bricks of various types;

ceramic blocks;

gas blocks;

wood.

In a typical building, inexpensive frame houses predominate. But in principle it is difficult to find a project in which only one type of material would be used. Usually several are combined for the ground floor, external walls, internal ceilings, attics and basements.

Tip: the lighter the material for the walls and roof, the less will be the load on the foundation. This is a very important point, thanks to which you can optimize the design and layout of a residential building, as well as significantly reduce the cost of materials and work.

Optimal dimensions of a two-story house

What size an ideal two-story house should be is a controversial question. For a family of four who have lived their entire lives in a one-room apartment, a house with an area of 80 square meters. m. will seem like a mansion. And some will have to cram into 180 square meters. m. And yet you can find a “golden mean” - the optimal area for a family of four to six people to live - 140–160 sq. m. m. In such a house you can comfortably equip a large living room, kitchen, two bathrooms and three bedrooms - excluding balconies and auxiliary utility rooms.
