Country house made of SIP panels: features and types

The modern garden house is different from the bulky brick and dull wooden structures. Innovations in the production of the latest materials make it possible to build light, comfortable and inexpensive country houses from SIP panels. The construction technology of such material allows us to design summer cottages in any part of our country, regardless of climatic conditions. The universal building includes a frame, decoration, insulation.

All types of standard construction work involve significant time and financial costs. Despite many years of experience in the construction of buildings from stone, wood, timber, new technologies are rapidly gaining momentum. Initial skepticism was quickly dispelled by the benefits of this type of construction. First of all, the cost has become cheaper, time costs have been reduced many times. In addition, the excellent performance of the technical side made this type of buildings very popular on the market.

Financial benefit is not the only advantage of such a construction.

• Long service life. The material is not corrosive, does not rot, does not change its characteristics after many years.
• Reliability and durability. Fasteners of SIP panels have a special system that has proven itself in different climatic conditions. Such houses are well maintained even in the harsh north.
• Smallness. The weight of the structure is quite low, so the costs of the foundation are significantly reduced. The dacha can be built without foundation.
• Security. The material is considered environmentally friendly, all sanitary requirements are of a fairly high level. As for the ability to ignite, it is much lower than that of wooden houses.
• Energy saving. This allows year-round exploitation of country houses made of composite panels. The insulation in the wall of the panel is of high quality, its quantity gives such houses a head start over wooden and brick houses.

Modest costs and short construction time have made these houses affordable for consumers. Such dachas are functional, outwardly they can have completely different shapes. In addition, buildings can be finished with absolutely any materials, both from the outside and from the inside of the house. The choice of design depends only on the wishes of the customer.

Despite the obvious advantages, There are also disadvantages to consider:

• the material is not able to regulate the moisture balance, this problem is solved with the help of high-quality ventilation;
• in comparison with houses made of stone, they are more flammable;
• if the manufacturing technology is violated, they can be environmentally unfriendly - you must choose a trusted manufacturer.

The catalogs of construction companies include several options for completing country houses. You can order a house kit without installation, with a drawing and assembly recommendations, or conclude a turnkey construction contract.

• The basic package includes all elements of the house and fasteners. You can install it yourself, or you can invite builders. The most inexpensive option is suitable for those who have construction skills and want to save money.
• Standard equipment, in addition to the house kit itself, also includes the construction of the foundation, installation. This is a more expensive option, but the buyer gets rid of the need for independent work. In addition, in case of problems, the organization eliminates the deficiencies during construction.
• The complete set "Turnkey" makes it possible to transfer to the company all the worries about the construction of the house, except for the supply of communications, engineering work and cosmetic finishing. The house kit is delivered, the foundation is being erected, the house is being installed, the facade is being finished.

A huge plus of home kits made of SIP panels is the possibility of self-installation. Before starting construction, you need to choose a manufacturing company and a house project from existing factory options, and it is also possible to make your own. After that, the materials are produced according to the individual preferences of the customer. A country house does not require a serious foundation, the maximum is a light tape structure. And also it is worth taking care of bringing communications to the house. A strapping-type beam is laid on top of the foundation, on which the house kit is attached.

After that, they begin to erect the walls:

• a board is laid along the perimeter of the bar, where the panel grooves are inserted;
• in the corners, beams are placed connecting the structure, panels are joined in them;
• then the grooves are foamed and fastened;
• fixing of connections occurs;
• when the walls are erected, foaming and laying of the upper beam of the strapping type occurs.

Houses made of this material do not shrink, so you can immediately start installing window openings, doors and finishing. Interior and exterior decoration is made from different materials, the process is quite quick, since there is no need to level the walls.

Despite the simplicity of the process, it is necessary to take into account some of the features of construction:

• use instructions and drawings;
• use mounting type foam for joints;
• if you are building a house on two floors, you need to strengthen the structure;
• after building the foundation, give it a week to settle.
