Practically every person in our time dreams of a big and beautiful house, but not all of our fellow citizens can fulfill their dream due to the incredible high cost of real estate.
But the appearance of frame houses in our country completely turned the idea of \u200b\u200bthe inhabitants that a quality cottage should cost unrealistic money. Unfortunately, almost all consumers are wary of this technology, believing that only country houses can be built on the basis of wooden beams and panels. Fortunately, not only one-story frame houses are common in the world, but also full-fledged two-three-story buildings. The experience of their operation sufficiently proves the absolute reliability of this kind of housing. By the way, they are used even in Alaska, where the temperatures are by no means tropical.
But it would be unfair to call this building technology "multi-storey". By itself, the frame is not physically capable of carrying too much load. But just as unfairit would be said that frame one-story houses are the technological limit.
Actually, one-story cottages of this type are common today. It is wrong to assume that they are like "puppet" toys. On the contrary, they have everything necessary for a comfortable family stay for more than a dozen years. If erected on light foundations, they are able to withstand even moderate earthquakes without much damage. Projects of one-story frame houses are widespread, providing for the construction of an attic room. However, this cannot be called a full-fledged second floor, and the convenience of living in a room with a sloping ceiling is in question.
But no one will interfere with the construction of a two-story housing, which will be an ideal home for a large family. Even though the foundation of such a building needs to be made more reliable, it still turns out to be much cheaper than similar foundations for brick and stone buildings. So one-story frame-panel houses are not the only example of the successful use of Canadian building technology.
Two-storey cottages are quite possible to add balconies, mezzanines and other decorative elements. Exterior finish options are just a sea: from brick to vinyl siding. It should be noted that when using facing stone or other heavy materials, you will definitely not be able to get by with a light foundation. The same is possiblesay about the projects of three-story buildings. However, frame one-story houses are much more common, as the seismic stability of their counterparts "skyscrapers" is greatly reduced.
If such structures could withstand at least four or five floors, then the practice of their construction would be widespread throughout the world.
But they also have other features. In particular, one-story frame houses should be built in the strictest accordance with the technology. Only the best soundproofing and heat-insulating materials should be used.
