Panel cottage house: features, types and arrangement

The owners of suburban areas today may not be upset if there is no serious construction on the suburban area. There are affordable options for purchasing houses that will become cozy and comfortable enough for staying in the country. An example of this is panel-type country houses.

Frame-panel houses are a relatively new term, and it came to us from Western Europe, Canada, and also North America. There, similar designs have been popular for a long time. The most popular in our country have become one-story garden panel houses. And they are made according to one of two possible technologies - Canadian or European. If you adhere to European technology, then it is characterized by a supporting frame, which is made of a metal profile or a bar. The frame is mounted on a light foundation, which, in turn, can be piled or columnar. The interior of such a summer cottage is usually sheathed with plates made of fiberboard or polymer materials. Between these plates, insulation is laid, as well as a protective membrane with vapor-permeable properties.

The facade of the frame-panel buildings for the site can assume different finishes: from metal or vinyl siding to lining and vinyl block house. The garden panel house provides comfort to the owners of the dacha, it is a practical and functional structure that occupies a small area. In a standard one-story house of this type, there are usually several rooms, as well as a bathroom and shower. Engineering communications are carried out in it without any problems.

Concrete and brick buildings are solid buildings that require very serious material investments. And not everyone can afford them. Inexpensive panel houses are good because, as a country house, they are functional, affordable, and aesthetic. The advantages of panel structures are as follows.

• They are characterized by convenient, simple and, what is important, fast assembly. These are relatively lightweight structures, a strong foundation is not needed during their construction, which means that special cargo-building equipment is also not needed. Practically with his own hands, the owner, together with assistants, can erect a building.
• The house has excellent thermal insulation characteristics. Due to the fact that its walls are light, they quickly warm up, and this makes it possible to save on heating.
• The structure has an elastic, fairly rigid frame, as well as wall panels. The system is well thought out, considerable external loads are provided. Even in places where the soil subsides heavily, deformation should not be expected. Silty or additive soil is suitable for construction.
• Another indisputable plus is that the design is mobile. If you decide to change the summer cottage, you will not have to grieve about the house remaining on the previous site. The cottage is relatively easy to disassemble, and transportation is also available. In a new place, you just remember the old assembly scheme and reassemble the house.
• Not the highest price. Unlike the so-called capital buildings, a panel house will cost you inexpensively.

Many will rightly point out that the characteristic is suspiciously flawless. This, of course, is not so, the panel house has significant drawbacks. For example, you cannot count on its durability. Capital buildings will stand for decades, and your grandchildren may not even find the panel house. Also, panel buildings are fire hazardous, because they are made from dry wood materials. They react both to atmospheric changes and to the activity of living organisms, which means that insect pests and rodents can start in the materials from which the houses are made.

But do not be upset in advance. Competent operation of the panel house will help turn all these shortcomings into a dry theory. If you take proper care of the building, if you make repairs in a timely manner, if you handle fire as carefully as possible, the house will serve its purpose flawlessly. Be sure to perform pre-treatment: treat all wooden parts of the house with antifungal agents, and metal elements with anti-corrosion compounds.

You can draw up a project for a panel summer house yourself. But if you are in doubt about your own abilities, contact the experts. This option, of course, is not associated with risks, but it will require financial costs. First, try to determine the size of the building yourself. And it depends on how many people will use the house at the same time. The most demanded sizes of a panel board summer house:

• 5 by 4 m;
• 5 by 5 m;
• 6 by 4 m;
• 6 by 5 m;
• 6 by 6 m;
• 6 by 7 m.

But if the possibilities allow, then the size is not a problem either. In addition, panel buildings can be decorated with a second floor, bay window, veranda, attic, balcony, terrace. In some cases, they even become the main place of residence. Or, for example, while the family is building a house or renovating an apartment in a new building, the whole team moves to a country house. And it drags on for many months. Therefore, if such a prospect is possible, the more comfortable the panel house will be, the better for the owners. If, however, to describe the plan for the construction of a panel building in a thesis, it will look like this:

• first, the site is prepared, as it would be done in any construction;
• a pile or columnar foundation is being installed;
• the base is attached to the supporting parts of the foundation;
• the assembly of the power supporting frame is taking place;
• panel boards for external cladding are directly fixed to the structure;
• thermal insulation is being laid;
• the panels of the inner cladding are being fixed;
• the installation of the roof lathing, rafter system is carried out;
• the installation of the roof and waterproofing is in progress;
• in the already almost completed structure, the floor, windows and doors are installed.

If the base itself, construction, frame is usually important for the owner, then the hostesses can not wait to start decorating the interior. And this is no less important than construction. It is not necessary to invite designers and spend a lot of money on the interior arrangement of the house. There are a lot of simple and affordable ideas on how to make summer cottage rooms cozy, beautiful, and comfortable. Styles of the interior of the panel house.

It is both fashionable and practical, and does not require huge investments. Basically, white reigns in such an interior. And this is really convenient for small spaces. But bright accents on a white background are not just possible - they are needed: red or blue armchairs, colorful textiles and rugs will only decorate the scandi-dacha. Preference is given to furniture and decor made from natural materials. You can also decorate the space with hand-made products: now fashionable tapestry rugs, which are at the next stage of popularity with macrame, ceramics and watercolors.

The popular and really very cozy style will appeal to all generations of households. Contrasting colors, zoning with the help of podiums, ledges on the walls, arches coexist in this style. For decoration, stone and wood are usually used. In the interior, the fireplace often becomes the semantic center. The American-style accent is on natural light, so the owners can simply refuse the curtains. This is a suitable design for a small house.

The style that most impresses the suburban life. The interior uses not only natural materials, but also natural shades - cream, olive, beige, brown, sky blue. But, of course, textiles and decor are decisive. They make the style of the country house recognizable. Pillows, bedspreads, curtains, vintage caskets and teahouses, tablecloths on the table make the cottage truly Provencal. And do not forget about bouquets of lavender (you can dry it), today it is also grown here, therefore it is not very difficult to find an inalienable Provencal attribute.

Usually, the idea to equip a design in a retro style in the country comes by itself: it is in the country house that old sofas, wardrobes, dressers, kitchen sets and crockery that have lost their relevance "flock". If this is exactly the option, then you can make a vintage interior out of old, which evokes pleasant nostalgic moods. For more believability, look for items that can create the desired mood: retro receivers (these are still produced today, modern devices in an old-fashioned design), various household items, carpets "with deer".

And "for dessert" - the most successful and interesting photo examples of decorating a country house inside.

• A bit of rural retro - drag the old sofa, buy a rug a la village, find colorful curtains, and the atmosphere for a summer holiday is created by itself!

• As simple as possible, as convenient as possible. If you like concise, time-saving and cost-effective solutions, this option is for you.
