Frame construction – a growingly popular, promising technology for the construction of low-rise buildings and country houses.

Frame construction is very common in the USA and Canada, Japan, Scandinavia, Germany and other European countries. The technologies for constructing frame houses in different countries have a number of differences, for example, in wall structures. Thus, in the "Canadian" technology, a wooden frame is traditionally used, in others - a metal one. In any case, frame houses meet all modern requirements for environmental friendliness, fire safety and heat conservation.

The frame house structure consists of a vertical supporting element, external and internal facing materials and very dense insulation laid between the facings. Frame houses have high resistance to deformation, do not shrink or crack.
When constructing frame houses, roofing materials such as tiles (natural ceramic and bitumen), metal tiles, ondulin, and galvanized sheets can be used.
The convenience of this technology is that it allows you to build frame houses both according to ready-made projects and taking into account the wishes and changes of the customer.

Advantages of frame construction:

  • the absence of shrinkage allows for interior finishing to be carried out immediately after the construction of the house;
  • the standard sizes of load-bearing elements allow you to choose any type of external and internal finishing of a frame house;
  • the lightness of the frame house structure significantly reduces the load on the foundation and soil, which allows you to save money without compromising quality;
  • The thickness of the walls and the insulation system of a frame house are calculated individually depending on the purpose, which allows you to choose the most economical options.

Frame construction – important nuances

Experts point out that walls made of materials commonly used in the construction of frame houses "breathe" worse than brick or wood. Therefore, such houses require a well-thought-out ventilation system, or even better - a climate control system. And before you start finishing the walls and ceilings of a frame house, it is advisable to contact a company that deals with air conditioning and installation of such systems.
