Modularity and its possibilities
DublDom modules, according to its creators, can be folded like a constructor, creating a house of an interesting configuration and the required area. Starting from 40 m², you can eventually increase your home to 130 m² or more. Don't worry, you don't need to disassemble anything. Additional modules are easy to attach to those that already exist. True, the design with the second floor has not yet been developed, but manufacturers are thinking about this as well.
Description of construction
The basis of the house is a wooden frame with mineral insulation (150 mm). Outside - windproof film. This helps to retain heat better than a brick wall half a meter thick.
The type of foundation is chosen by the future owner independently. An alternative to a strip or block foundation can be screw piles. It is quite acceptable, since the weight of the modules is small. Screw pile foundations are useful in areas where groundwater is close.
Outside, the walls and roof are sheathed with a metal profile sheet. This is standard equipment. In reviews of "DublDom" they mention that in bad weather rain drums on the metal roof, but this only makes it more comfortable.
Other finishes available - board, soft tiles, copper sheets and various composite materials.
In their reviews, the owners of "DublDom" are advised to take advantage of the offer of an additional order for a terrace or veranda. They are made of larch and fit perfectly into life outside the city. And simply irreplaceable when you come to visita large group of friends or relatives.
The feature of the project is a floor-to-ceiling glazed wall. This idea is a symbol of an open attitude to the world. Thanks to her, the surrounding nature is more acutely felt.
Don't worry about big glazing. Energy-saving double-glazed windows are filled with argon. Warm even in severe frost.
It will help to save on heating and competent orientation of the house to the cardinal points. Windows should face south and southwest.
Heating
In winter, according to the residents, only two electric convectors are enough to heat forty square meters of "DublDom". They are built into the floor near the windows.
An additional option is the organization of water heating. The wiring for it is laid immediately during manufacture in production. When installed at home, simply connects to networks.
The new models have heated floors in the bathrooms.
The design of the house provides a hole for the chimney. At desire, the compact furnace - a fireplace is connected. Feedback on heating "DublDom" confirm: a small wood-burning stove is just an addition that allows you to make life in a wooden house more comfortable.
If you come to the dacha in winter, the house will warm up in no more than an hour. Energy-saving technologies and materials help to keep heat well.
You can also make gas heating. It is only necessary to take into account that the equipment of the boiler room will increase the value of your home.
Layout
The design allows you to choose the layout to your liking: a large studio or split into several rooms. The living rooms are separated by built-in wardrobes. They are both storage places and a cover from noise from neighboring rooms.
You can choose a ready-made project - the choice is wide. There are living rooms with a regular bathroom, or you can opt for a sauna and additional outbuildings.
What does it look like and what's in it?
DublDom houses, according to the owners, captivate with their minimalist Scandinavian design. There is not a single extra ledge or corner, everything is logical and functional. I also liked the huge panoramic windows, thanks to which there is so much light and space.
Furniture can be ordered along with the house. It is made from natural wood. In models longer than six meters, it is possible to install large kitchens.
And you can decorate the interior to your taste. Eco-style fits very well here. Wood furniture will look great. Wooden ceiling beams give a resemblance to a chalet.
Interior decoration, plumbing, electrical appliances and communications are included in the price of the house. Faucets, a toilet bowl, a boiler for heating water are installed, even the lamps are in their place! All of this is standard equipment.
In reviews of "DublDom", under the "before" and "after" photos, the owners share the changes that have taken place in their lives. At first, people plan to spend only the summer season there.

The creator of DoubleDom, Ovchinnikov, compared it to a car: “Everything is ready in it - you bought it and live. It's like a car - sit down and go. You don't buy a car without trim.”
Production
Designers created a home that combines economy, mobility and quality.
Manufacturers achieve quality using modern technologies and collaboration with suppliers. They don't waste time looking for contractors.
The main production is located in Zhukovka, on the Kaluga highway. Only 37 km from Moscow.
Consumers became interested in the project and a year later they could not cope with the flow of orders. I had to transfer the rights to production to partners. Kazan, Belarus, St. Petersburg, Khimki, Pokrov operate under a franchise.
According to reviews, "DublDom" is produced cheaper than brick buildings, on average, two to three times.
Only dry wood is used. For its processing, high-precision imported machines are used. Cut to the nearest millimeter. There should be no deviations from the drawings. This will affect the rigidity and stability of the frame of the house. After sawing, the wood is sanded by hand.
Then, right inside the frame, the craftsmen lay electrical wiring and communication networks. Air ducts are laid in the structure of the house, to which a forced ventilation system is later connected.
Technology of work determines firstdo the interior work. Then deal with the outside. This is how the high quality of work and design is achieved.
On-site installation of modules is included in the project estimate (even if the installation site is one hundred kilometers from the production site).
Sustainable
This is one of the main features of the structure. And here's why:
- Certified materials with a quality guarantee are used for the production of the house. The supporting wooden frame is necessarily treated with biosecurity.
- Can be installed directly in the forest or even on the water. Those who draw strength from unity with nature note a rare spiritual comfort, a sense of peace. Owners' reviews of life before and after the purchase of "DublDom" confirm the photos of their new homes.
- Guests of yacht clubs, tourist bases and holiday homes will have the opportunity to live in nature in an unusual and modern house.

Construction from modules is of interest to professional and private investors. It is planned to apply the novelty of "DublDoma" and create settlements in Koltsovo near Moscow and New Riga.
