Frame uprights INSTALLATION OF THE BUILDING: FOUNDATION The frame structure case is several times as light as the brick one; therefore the foundation under the house doesn't have to be as strong. It can be slightly burried and implemented as a post footing, considering the type of soil, the depth of groundwater, and the topography. CASE INSTALLATION The bearing bar is screwed to the anchors, which are installed in certain positions during the pouring of the foundation. Waterproofing material is mandatorily installed between the foundation and the bearing bars.  HEATING INSULATION AND ISOLATION The building case is framed with windbreaker film (for example, "Tyvek House Wrap," "Silver" or an equivalent) on the outside (on top of GSP). This membrane serves to let out the moist vapors (the wall breathing), at the same time protecting the building from external wet and cold air streams. Due to the use of modern multi windbreaker surfaces, the insulation layer and the frame timber remain dry. 150-mm thick heat insulation layers made of basalt or quartz fiber are installed into the boards of the outside walls of the building frame. Currently used heating insulation materials: ROCWOOL (100 mm thick) and URSA (50 mm wide). In terms of thermal insulation characteristics, a 150-mm layer of such heating insulation materials is equal to the masonry wall of more than 2 meters thick! From inside, the insulation layer of the building frame is protected with a vapor isolating film. A 100-mm sound insulation layer made of basalt or quartz fiber is installed into the panel of the interior walls. EXTERNAL FINISHING The external finishing of the wooden frame-shield building is almost the same as that for a traditional one: 1.Clinker brick facing; 2.Artificial or natural stone facing; 3.Plastic siding (the most popular option in the U.S. and in Canada); 4.CBPB (paint or textured plaster is applied); 5.Plasterwork on top of foam or styrofoam boards; 6.Finishing decoration boards (e.g. batten or block house); 7.Public premises, offices etc can be finished with the use of composite alluminum panels and steel profiles. INTERNAL FINISHING Plasterboard (Knauff or similar) wooden or plastic battens CBPB drywall Since the frame-panel building has no shrinkage or slump, the interior work can begin immediately after the installation of the case. ENGINEERING LINES In case of frame-panel houses, all the engineering lines can be hidden inside wall cavities. They need to be provided for during the design stage. Also, holes in load-bearing walls and floor beams can be drilled for electrical wiring and water pipe installation.  HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING Electrical heating may be considered normal for this construction type. The installation of water heating devices in the frame-panel house is easy. It is easier than in case of brick or gas-concrete buildings. Also, air heating, as used in Canada, has recently become increasingly popular. The best way is to put combined boilers, which heat the room in the wintertime and are used as air-conditioning units that moisturize and even ionize the air in the room in the summertime. Moreover, the installation of such a system in a big building is cheaper than buying a few air conditioners. Decisions on the type of heating homes need to be taken during the design stage, as special cavities in the frame of the building are required for air heating systems. |
