New materials for private houses. Building a house: new construction technologies and materials

Forecasts for the emergence of new building materials are usually based on factors of potential industrial growth, economic efficiency, and innovation (surprising new discoveries). Forecasting is carried out annually, analyzing the emergence of new products at a conventional construction site. So, the forecast for innovations and new building materials in 2018 promises to surprise with technologies that combine the full range of the noted criteria.

Market trends for new building materials and technologies: cement, wood, and renewable energy sources. All this will have a significant impact on the areas of design and construction for the coming year (2018) and in the near future. Let's see what's already in the trunk.

Programmable cement

As a substance that consumes significant amounts of water, concrete continues to be a leading area for research and development of new building materials.

Despite its widespread and traditional use, concrete still seems to be something of a mysterious building material. Therefore, discoveries similar to the recent ones made in 2017, when interesting facts were discovered, are expected here.

Research on building materials provides new information about the binders used in construction. Cement particles can be manipulated into different shapes, such as a cube

It turned out that cement, as part of the contents of the concrete structure, carbonizes carbon dioxide over time. This material property ultimately contributes to redefining the environmentally friendly area of concrete.

Such research results once again emphasize the need for a clearer understanding of the formation of the structure of new building materials at the molecular level.

Another recent example was the multidisciplinary laboratory of building materials at Rice University. Scientists there discovered previously unknown properties of cement particles subjected to hydration (CSH: calcium silicate hydrate cement).

Alternative binders to increase stability are used in the composition of new types of cements intended for construction industry specialists

According to the researchers, the information obtained is planned to be used to “program” particles of the material in a strictly controlled way. In fact, we are talking about a new building material - programmable cement.

Significant progress in this work marks the first step in controlling cement kinetics to achieve desired building forms. Essentially, Rice University scientists have discovered a technology to control the morphology and size of the basic building blocks of CSH.

Such blocks could independently organize into microstructures with a higher packing density compared to conventional amorphous CSH microstructures.

This increased density should result in increased material strength and durability, improved chemical resistance, and protection of the reinforcing steel within the concrete.

Cross laminated wood

In addition to concrete, wood is an equally popular building material. The construction industry is now relying on solid wood based on the development of new techniques.

Mass timber is used to construct high-rise buildings, using rapidly renewable building materials that are environmentally superior to concrete and steel.

So-called cross-laminated wood is quickly gaining popularity on construction sites. Massive panels based on modified hardwood building materials

In the growing field of softwood-based lumber, an unexpected competitor has emerged: CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) lumber, made from hardwood.

London-based international architects and designers (dRMM Architects), in collaboration with global engineering firm ARUP and the US Hardwood Export Council, have developed a CLT panel based on the fast-growing North American tree Tulipwood.

This is what tulipwood looks like when cut. Products made from this type of wood have a very original appearance. Now tulipwood is a new building material of the current century

The properties of Tulipwood overlap those of coniferous wood. Harpullia wood (Tulipwood) is stronger and even stronger than concrete in terms of load-bearing capacity. In addition, this new type of building material has excellent decorative qualities.

A new building material based on Tulipwood is already being produced for the construction market (in Germany).

Referred to as "Leno CLT". Leno CLT is prepared from rapidly renewable raw materials, and the manufacturing technology supports the production of panels of significant sizes (for example, 14x4.5 m).

In recent years, new technologies for building cottages appear almost every day: in addition to the fact that the speed of building a house has increased significantly (if previously this process could take a couple of years, now it can actually be completed in a month), builders are relying on the environmental friendliness of the materials used. We have prepared a short overview of the latest world developments, which are gradually beginning to take root in the Russian space.

Frame construction

Houses with metal or wood frames first appeared in Europe in the late 60s, and since then this technology has been one of the most popular in the world. The house is actually assembled, like a designer kit, from ready-made panels that are produced at the factory; panels can be wooden (made of laminated veneer lumber), polyurethane foam, or aerated concrete. This is the fastest way to get a new warm home in the shortest possible time. In recent years, the Canadian EcoPan technology and the domestic NESST have attracted widespread interest - we will talk about them below.

EcoPan

This technology involves the use of heat-insulating panels for the roof, walls and ceilings, consisting of three layers (“sandwich” structure): two pressed boards made of wood chips (OSB) are connected to each other by a layer of insulation, the functions of which are performed by solid polystyrene foam.

Peculiarities

A house using the Ecopan technology can be built on any foundation: first, a wooden frame is installed (boards or beams are used; however, you can do without a frame if you use panel technology). Then panels of three different types begin to be assembled onto the frame - the thickest (about 200 mm) for the roof and walls, and thinner ones (100-150 mm) for internal floors. In this case, the main supporting function will be performed not by the frame, but by OSB slabs: due to the fact that the layers of chips in their structure are oriented perpendicular to each other and pressed at high temperatures, one such slab can withstand the same load as a beam 70-80 thick cm (tested by laboratory tests).

Advantages

Our compatriots still don’t really trust “imported houses”, preferring the logic “the thicker the walls, the warmer the house.” Meanwhile, in the northern states of the USA and Canada, the average annual temperature is sometimes lower than in central Russia, and cold winds and snow storms are frequent guests in the autumn and winter. Nevertheless, frame technology has successfully proven itself even in unfavorable weather conditions: the slabs are tightly fitted to each other during assembly, and the house can easily be operated in a wide temperature range, from frost to -45 degrees Celsius to forty-degree heat.

In addition, when assembling such a house, all communications are mounted into the wall, so you immediately get a cozy and aesthetic home. If you start a renovation, it is easy to dismantle the internal OSB board, get to the pipe or cable, and then install it back - the thermal insulation properties of the house will not be affected. And, of course, unlike log houses, the design of the walls allows the use of any interior and facade decoration.

In addition to heat resistance and practicality, one of the most attractive advantages is the speed of assembly of the EcoPan house: different developers give a period of one and a half to three months with a guarantee of quality and reliability. The sizes of houses are also not limited by anything: standard 6*6 and 8*8, and any other parameters; OSB boards are made in different sizes, the maximum is about 7.5 * 3 m.

What about the cost? Here we can also please future owners: according to estimates, the construction of an Ecopan frame-slab house will cost 1.5-2 times less than the construction of a brick or cobblestone house of the same area.

LSTK (NESSST technology)

This is one of the types of frame construction based on metal structures: facade slabs are mounted on a steel frame from the outside on top of plasterboard sheets, which can be made of any material: artificial stone (fiber-reinforced concrete), natural stone, corrugated sheets, wooden beams, siding, cassettes and any other materials at the request of the customer.

Peculiarities

After installing the LSTC frame, the internal space of the wall and voids are filled with polystyrene foam or high-density foam concrete: thanks to its fine-porous structure, it provides excellent heat and sound insulation, and also practically does not accumulate water at any level of air humidity (which, for example, ordinary wood cannot boast of, which in winter it collects up to 3 liters of water per cubic meter).

Communication channels and ventilation ducts are also laid in the voids of the frame, with output to the inside of the house. The formwork is glass-magnesite sheet: environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic, it provides additional thermal insulation and is suitable for any finishing - painting, wallpapering, etc.

The roof is also assembled from galvanized steel profiles, often in combination with wooden rafters. Ceramic (soft) tiles or metal tiles can be used as roofing material.

Advantages

The main advantage of NESST, which determines its virtually universal use in office and industrial construction, is the speed of construction of a finished house - perhaps this is the fastest type of construction technology. The average turnkey period for a house is about 5 days; almost all parts are manufactured according to individual drawings at the factory; no lifting mechanisms are required.

Compared to other types of frame construction, installation from LSTK will allow you to implement almost any architectural ideas using a single material for the entire building: add an additional floor or add a terrace, design curved and asymmetrical surfaces, as well as crossbars, columns, arches and bay windows. A smooth, leveled wall surface will save you from additional hassle during repairs.

It is impossible not to note the economic benefits: in addition to the fact that you will significantly save on construction (when compared with brick houses), the expanded polystyrene concrete filler has very high thermal insulation properties, which will reduce heating costs and provide a comfortable temperature at any time of the year. In addition, walls made of LSTK are vapor permeable, seismically resistant and non-flammable.

Frameless technologies

Frameless technologies are already familiar to many of us from urban multi-story construction: due to the use of large panels, the need for additional supporting structures is eliminated; the system of walls and ceilings itself provides an excellent load-bearing support. But gradually, construction from concrete and gas silicate blocks is giving way to environmentally friendly technologies using plant materials - reeds and even straw. Are these houses really safe?

Reed panels

Houses based on layers of reeds have been known to mankind for at least five thousand years: it is known that in Asia Minor, reed huts were built on the basis of wooden hollow frames, the cavities in which were filled with bunches of reeds - such a house retained heat for a surprisingly long time and did not become damp, good air permeability. Modern builders decided to adopt technologies developed in antiquity; they tried adding reed stalks to both concrete and cement, and eventually developed wood-frame panels called “reed panels”.

The design of the panel is a “sandwich”: two wood boards are laid between each other with bundles of reeds, and the cavities are filled with rigid polyurethane foam, which combines lightness and excellent thermal insulation properties. This “union” of a plant base and modern materials is not afraid of dampness or fire and is not subject to rotting.

Peculiarities

Almost the entire mass of the panel falls on the wooden frame, and even then the weight of the structure is small: the weight of one square meter does not exceed 40 kilograms. Thanks to this, a lightweight foundation can be suitable for installation, and lifting equipment is not required. In addition, due to the presence of a wooden frame in the panels, they can independently perform a load-bearing function.

The speed of assembling the house will also pleasantly surprise the future owners: the construction team erects a two-story house with a total area of about 100 square meters in a maximum of a week of work.

The structure can withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 9. If a house is destroyed, the panels retain their integrity, and due to their low weight, they are safe for human life. Unlike most technologies for the construction of prefabricated low-rise buildings, reed panels have a high level of sound absorption. All characteristics are confirmed by the State Unitary Enterprise "NII MOSSTROY".

Advantages

The combination of thermal insulation materials allows for significant savings on heating in the cold season - compared to brick buildings, 60-70% less fuel is spent on heating; At the same time, the house stays warm even when the heating is turned off (about 3-5 days), and in hot weather, on the contrary, the rooms remain pleasantly cool.

Secondly, careful treatment with fire retardants and antifungal compounds, combined with the natural resistance of reeds to water and rot, makes reed panels a virtually universal material, suitable for any climatic conditions and any soil: successful experience has already been gained in constructing houses on such a basis in the Far North. If desired, the house can be easily completed with any elements (new floor, attic, extension, etc.) or disassembled and transported to a new location.

An ordinary house one to three floors high looks like it is assembled from wooden panels; external finishing involves painting, plastering, siding or brick cladding - in principle, the panels are compatible with any finishing materials. At a relatively low cost, manufacturers provide an excellent guarantee of house service: at least 60 years; this allows us to conclude that the “well-forgotten old” can indeed be trusted.

Durisol

In Europe, the technology for producing formwork blocks based on natural wood and stone has been known since the late 30s of the last century: it was developed in Holland and quickly became widespread in the northern countries. Subsequently, Durisol blocks began to be used not only as formwork, but also as an independent load-bearing structure that does not require additional support.

Peculiarities

The production technology of Durisol blocks is as follows; Coniferous wood (pine, spruce, fir) processed into chips is mineralized and bonded with Portland cement M400. Depending on the thickness of the block, which usually varies from 150 to 370 mm, Durisol blocks can be used for the construction of almost any building element: from external walls to interior partitions.

Assembly is carried out according to the principle of a construction set or a 3D puzzle: the blocks are connected to each other with special protrusions and grooves, sequentially along the contour of the wall from the corner - no binding solution is required. Portland cement is poured after the blocks are assembled; as a result, the cavities are filled with heat-insulating material and “cold bridges” are eliminated.

Advantages

Here we get all the advantages of natural materials: hypoallergenic and non-toxic, a porous structure that allows air to pass through and retains heat. Additional bonuses are the properties of coniferous species: the resins contained in their composition prevent rotting, the development of pathogenic bacteria and mold on the surface of the slab. At the same time, treatment with fire retardants and mineralization of wood chips practically negates the flammability of the material. The sound insulation characteristics are also very good: the 15 cm thick slab absorbs up to 98% of noise.

From a construction point of view, Durisol has also proven itself to be excellent: firstly, special qualifications of workers are not required, and the lightness of the blocks does not require the use of lifting equipment. Work can be done at any time of the year, including winter: the slabs can withstand up to 400 cycles of temperature changes without losing properties (for example: the first houses built in Europe using this technology before the war are still in excellent condition). At the same time, the material can be easily cut and drilled for laying utilities and pipes, and also allows for any method of interior and exterior finishing.

And again, as in the case of the previous technologies we described, the cost of building such a house will be at least 20-30% lower than traditional brick or log masonry; Therefore, we once again urge you to think about whether it is worth unconditionally following “grandfather’s” advice?

Experiments continue!

These are far from the only possible experiments in the field of cottage construction: for example, literally in the last decade, the technology of building houses based on straw blocks, additionally reinforced with piles or wooden stakes, has become widespread. This technique is very similar to the reed construction described above, and straw houses also show excellent results in terms of heat-saving and energy-saving properties. However, so far only very brave people have decided on such options - perhaps straw does not inspire confidence in everyone who remembers the fairy tale “The Three Little Pigs”.

There are also unique, extravagant solutions, such as a house made of beer cans or glass - however, they have not yet gained popularity. It can be assumed that in the near future we will be able to see new options for cottage construction technologies.

The evolution of housing construction over the past decades has allowed us to radically change the idea of comfortable, safe and functional housing. The introduction of automated systems, increasing the efficiency of engineering and the unsurpassed technical and physical properties of building materials are the key areas along which modern home construction is developing. New construction technologies are actively incorporating innovative solutions from related fields.

The development of alternative approaches to production processes, electrical know-how, as well as scientific discoveries leave their mark on technological solutions in the construction field. At the same time, development covers almost all existing niches - from foundation laying methods to power tools and finishing materials.

Block formwork

As you know, the foundation of a house is the foundation. To obtain a strong and reliable structure, it must have an appropriate platform. The principles on which houses are built using the new technology of block (or permanent) formwork suggest several directions. One of the most popular in Russia is the formation of formwork from polystyrene foam hollow elements with

The peculiarity of the design is that the load from the walls is transferred to a monolithic reinforced concrete base - the formwork itself includes slabs, block components, as well as lightweight panels. By the way, the latter do not require removal after the concrete has hardened, and provide two functions: thermal insulation and form-building.

In addition to polystyrene foam materials, the new technology for building houses also allows the use of wood-cement construction, made from slabs and blocks. In the manufacture of such formwork, cement and pine chips from wood processing waste are used, which also affects the environmental qualities of the building.

Thermodome

A vivid illustration of the advantages of using polystyrene foam and block formwork is a thermode. It provides for the construction of a monolithic concrete base, which is implemented using insulated molded components from Obviously, new technologies for the construction of private houses in cold regions require increased thermal insulation, which is provided by polystyrene foam elements.

These are hollow thermal blocks into the niches of which concrete solution is poured. In this way, a 15-centimeter monolithic wall is formed, which has double-sided insulation with polystyrene foam panels 5 cm thick.

3D technologies in construction

Not to mention the fact that the use of three-dimensional modeling has been practiced for many years in the development of interior design projects and the preparation of technical documentation, today 3D material itself is gaining popularity. Special panels that act as a connecting link between the monolithic one and made it possible to master new technologies. Materials in construction based on 3D panels can be thought of as factory-made polystyrene foam elements.

In design, they resemble ordinary slabs, but enclosed in a braid of two running parallel. The connections in the panels are formed by diagonal rods made of stainless or galvanized wire. The rods are fixed at an angle - thus the polystyrene foam base breaks through, which creates a spatial cavity together with reinforcing mesh. When completed, such a system is covered with concrete and looks like a solid monolithic structure.

Innovation in frame housing construction

Experts may associate the name of this technique with sets of ready-made prefabricated elements from which the rapid construction of a house is carried out. New construction technologies have undoubtedly succeeded in this area, but in the case of frame know-how, something else is important.

The design of such buildings involves dispersing the load from the walls and components that provide the load-bearing function. That is, the former in this case do not act as a retaining element - this task is transferred to the vertical frame by a fundamentally new technology for building houses using the frame principle, thanks to which new opportunities open up for builders in the construction of walls, since one of the key functions (load-bearing) is eliminated.

Smart home idea

Perhaps the most relevant area, which is being developed by the largest manufacturers and construction organizations. According to the concept of a “smart” home, the living space is maximally optimized both in terms of energy efficiency and ease of use.

Since there are risks of a significant increase in the price of such projects, companies are striving to focus on economical home construction. New construction technologies from different areas make it possible to combine communication systems, security devices, lighting equipment, electrical devices and other elements to provide functionality and comfort into a single infrastructure. The interconnection of individual systems, implemented in one complex, significantly facilitates the operation of the house and optimizes the consumption of its resources.

Innovations in lighting technology

At this stage of development of lighting devices, LED products clearly stand out. This is confirmed by the massive transition to LED lighting of industrial and public facilities, however, the private sector is also showing interest in a profitable light source. The use of new technologies is especially pronounced in the construction of country houses, which are the most energy-intensive. Comprehensive supply of cottages with LED devices allows you to save up to 50%, while maintaining high productivity and quality of lighting. In the latest models of LED lamps, manufacturers use fundamentally new solutions - for example, they introduce polycarbonate and aluminum elements into the body, and the base of the lamp is provided with prismatic light diffusers.

Tools and equipment

In these areas, product improvement is driven by intense market competition. Convenience, efficiency and safety when using construction tools are increased due to the introduction of new clamps for processing heads, more reliable cutting components, high-power batteries, anti-vibration systems, etc. Ergonomics are not ignored - manufacturers use special plastic and rubber compositions in the tool, which makes it easier construction. New technologies, new equipment and a wide range of auxiliary systems make it possible to carry out repair and installation operations safely, quickly and efficiently.

"Green" technologies

Technological advancement in construction can no longer be imagined without composite and synthetic materials. Despite manufacturers' assurances of the absolute safety of such products, a truly environmentally friendly home is only possible if natural raw materials are used. Despite their exotic nature, designs for structures made of adobe, clay, earth and other materials are in demand and are being improved. The foundation is made on the basis of harmless concrete, and shingles, reeds, straw, etc. are used in the roofing.

The concept of the “Fox Hole” project also seems very original - in essence, it involves the earth construction of a house. New construction technologies here can be seen as the very idea of getting as close to nature as possible. Less radical options for eco-houses include structures in which the use of potent mixtures, paint and varnish coatings, plastic cladding and other non-natural building materials is minimized.

Trends in housing construction development

It is difficult to highlight or outline at least approximate directions that may continue in the future. There are quite a lot of them, and the close interrelation of different approaches during direct construction does not allow us to distinguish between specializations of technologies. For example, the introduction of fiberglass reinforcement entails changes in foundation construction methods, and the application places new demands on fixing elements. It follows from this that the latest technologies in construction are aimed at achieving a specific task, taking into account the development of related areas.

It is also impossible to predict what construction will be like in 20-50 years. Today, the use of some space technologies is coming into practice, gunpowder tools are appearing - perhaps these areas will soon lay the foundation for new concepts in house building, leaving behind the once revolutionary “warm” floors, polycarbonate alloys and vinyl wallpaper. But in any case, the latest technologies in construction will be focused on a completely traditional set of characteristics of a modern home - energy efficiency, comfort and ergonomics, reliability and durability, safety and economy. Technologies for the development of building mixtures, block materials, equipment, etc. are tailored to such requests.

When choosing a suitable project for a future home, developers primarily focus on the speed of installation work, because for a modern person, any delay seems to be a serious problem - these are the realities of our fast-paced life. It is also important that we all do not want to face unpleasant moments that can be caused by seasonal changes in weather, since this will negatively affect the deadline for the completion of the project, and the desire to quickly find a new home forces us to accelerate. That is why people have increasingly become interested in new technologies in the construction of private houses.

Now let's talk about the practical aspect, because it is also important. For example, you rent construction tools, the payment for which must be paid daily, who would want to overpay? This is where advanced solutions come to the rescue, allowing you to implement a typical project in just two or three months. So what do the authors of innovative developments offer us, and what can we successfully implement on our construction site?

Modern and popular technology

We would like to immediately draw your attention to the fact that new technologies and high-tech building materials are different concepts, although they are on the same plane. For example, foam concrete blocks, rounded wooden logs and OSB boards are products that have appeared not so long ago, but these are not house building technologies; the method of their installation is another matter. Here you will find a non-standard approach to the usual construction process and improved performance indicators of private houses, but let's talk about everything in order.

This abbreviation is more familiar to us under the name “folk”, also known as “adjustable formwork”, and in full it reads: Technology of Individual Construction and Ecology. This invention belongs entirely to our compatriots, which is doubly pleasant. The main advantage of this innovative approach is that you can build a house with your own hands, without the help of specialists.

Application of adjustable formwork technology

Principle of technology

Modern construction of private houses, based on this method, is characterized by the pouring of pile or columnar foundations, often equipped with a grillage. Your main tool at this stage will be a drill, which was specially designed for TISE.

The walls of such houses are assembled from hollow lightweight blocks, formed directly on the construction site using modular formwork, which must be periodically moved. The whole point of the construction method is that you fix the modules (forms) in the place where the wall of the house will be and pour concrete into them. When the solution hardens, the modules are dismantled and transferred to a new location.

pros

If you all decide to build such a structure, then you will certainly be pleased with the absence of so-called cold bridges, which modern developers struggle with with varying success. Also, you don’t need a whole team of builders, because this kind of construction does not require more than 2–3 people, including the owner of the house, and even then only for individual processes (moving formwork, drilling soil).

Formwork dimensions

In this case, you do not have to rent or buy special equipment, which significantly reduces the construction cost. Moreover, you can independently choose the composition of the filler for the walls of such houses and combine materials (as an option - brick with concrete).

Frame construction

Currently, we rarely resort to this technology for building houses, but this is most likely due to a lack of information among private developers, which can change in a short time, which means there is a prospect for its spread.

Peculiarities

After the foundation is poured, they begin to assemble the frame. This design consists of beam elements located horizontally, vertically and diagonally, and articulated with each other. As a rule, wooden or metal frame elements are used here - it all depends on the personal preferences of the home owners.

Assembling a wooden frame

Metal blanks are naturally stronger, but connecting them will require drilling technological holes, which can be replaced by welding, and this complicates the process, but we want to build a house quickly and without complications. Based on the intricacies of working with metals, wooden “skeletons” remain more popular. Most often, this is timber, which facilitates the construction of wooden houses using new technologies due to the correct geometry.

Frame structure design

The walls here are a kind of cladding, and they can be built from various materials, with which they work according to new principles:

The first principle is that walls on wooden frames, which can be built from OSB boards, are filled with any thermal insulation materials. For example, you can choose foam concrete, expanded clay, polyurethane foam or fiber insulation, again, as the owner of the house wishes.
The second principle is prefabricated panels, which at the time of construction are equipped with insulation and waterproofing.

Prefabricated shield

Please note that the second option is more difficult to implement (we are talking about the fact that we want to build a home with little effort). It is quite difficult to assemble ready-made shields correctly without violating the technology. And without a crane it is impossible to lift such massive elements, and this significantly complicates the process and leads to its increase in cost.

Advantages

Any type of foundation is suitable for the construction of such buildings, no matter what soil it will be poured on, even if we are talking about problematic landscapes. There is also the possibility of quick redevelopment without incurring large costs. The same applies to extensions, with which you can easily increase the area of private houses - install additional frame elements and sheathe new walls.

For finishing you can use any materials, there are no restrictions.

3D panels

New trends in the construction industry sometimes represent modified principles that appeared earlier, and with 3D panels, vaguely reminiscent of the method of assembling frame-panel houses.

Construction from 3D panels

Panels produced on an industrial scale are not prefabricated panels, but monolithic polystyrene foam slabs, pre-reinforced with reinforcing mesh on each side. They are connected to each other using metal rods that penetrate the structure diagonally and extend beyond its limits. It is not difficult to build a house from such blocks, because they are quite light in weight, and the assembly is strong and reliable.

Features and Benefits

There is no “skeleton” of the house in its classical sense, but instead there are panels connected by a rigid coupling and forming the load-bearing walls of the building. After their erection, the structure is covered with a “jacket” of concrete on each side of the mounted panels.

3D panel design

The polymer material from which modern panels are made allows for heat loss to be reduced to a minimum, and this is an essential point in the construction of modern houses, both wooden and panel.. You can also build a structure from SIP panels - these are also new materials in the construction industry. However, they are little used on private construction sites due to their large dimensions.

This material is mainly chosen for the installation of large-scale objects. If for some reason you still do not give up the idea of using SIP panels on your own site, it is better to order them from the manufacturer according to individual drawings, which will cost a pretty penny, and a considerable one.

Permanent formwork

One of the most well-known technologies, often used in private construction due to its availability and ease of implementation.

Ready-made house using permanent formwork technology

Construction principle

Like the TISE technology, the basis of the principle here is that you can quickly build a house without a team of craftsmen.

Fixed polystyrene foam formwork

Permanent formwork can be formed from block or panel elements, which during operation are placed along the perimeter of the base at a certain distance from each other, forming a partition. Reinforcement is placed in the cavity between the blocks and concrete is poured.

pros

As mentioned earlier, you can build such a house yourself, which will save you a lot of money. Helpers may only be needed at the stage of pouring the foundation and when installing the floors; otherwise, you can handle the rest yourself. At the same time, by choosing the right filler for wall formwork, you don’t have to worry about additional thermal insulation.

It turns out that building houses can be inexpensive and quite simple, and we are talking here about both block structures and their wooden counterparts. Knowing and applying the latest technologies, building a high-quality home today will not be difficult.

New technologies in construction - we build a house faster and cheaper

Every owner strives to build a comfortable, cozy and functional home in the shortest possible time. It is best to familiarize yourself with modern technologies and innovative solutions before starting design and construction, the use of which will allow you to build the house of your dreams. In this article we will look at the newest materials and technologies used in private construction.

Every year, new building materials appear on the market that make it possible to build houses cheaper, faster, more reliable and safer for people. It should be taken into account that new technologies in construction and high-tech materials are different concepts. For the construction of houses today, blocks of foam and aerated concrete, sandwich panels, SIP panels, OSB boards, rounded logs and other production innovations are increasingly used, however, they do not involve the use of new technological methods in the construction of objects, but have unique features in installation

Block products are larger in size than piece ceramic bricks, have high energy intensity, low weight and different densities. These features make it possible to significantly reduce the construction time of buildings while maintaining the high characteristics of strength, practicality and comfort of the new facility. Another advantage of such materials is their lower cost than brick, which means lower construction costs in general.

Rounded logs for building a house

Rounded logs are a natural wood material that has high heat capacity and an attractive cost compared to classic laminated veneer lumber. That is, the customer simply saves on materials, reduces the construction budget of the facility, but the technology remains classic.

Modern panels that are completely ready for construction work and can have thermal insulation layers and protection from wind and moisture are also perfect for private construction. All that remains is to install such materials correctly so that you can enjoy a comfortable life in your cottage. The high popularity of panels, like other modern materials, is due to their low cost.

However, in addition to materials, the modern world also provides opportunities to use innovative technologies in construction. One such technology is TISE or adjustable formwork. Today it is very popular, as it allows you to build structures without the use of a large number of special technical means and with one pair of hands.

This method involves the installation of pile elements or the construction of a columnar foundation, supplemented by a grillage. The only thing you need to build a new structure is a drill for TISE. Wall block panels are placed on the installed lightweight foundation. The panels are created directly on the construction site from high-quality concrete. The form is a mobile formwork, which is used to fill all modules one by one.

The main advantages of TISE technology include:

monolithic structure and absence of cold bridges;
the ability to carry out construction work without the expensive services of professional teams;
high variability of block composition.

To increase the strength, reliability and attractiveness of a new building, ready-made concrete blocks are faced with brick, which gives the object increased stability, resistance to external influences and strength.

A frame house is a structurally simple structure, characterized by simple and cheap construction. Thanks to the lightweight foundation, the variety of options for arranging the frame, and the ability to build one- and two-story buildings, such buildings are very popular.

A frame house consists of block elements that can be placed vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Individual elements can be connected to each other in different ways. Depending on your personal financial capabilities and preferences, you can use different materials to build the frame, from wood to metal.

The metal frame for residential buildings is more durable, but requires the use of special drilling and welding equipment for construction, which complicates the construction procedure and sometimes makes it impossible to build the object without the professional help of qualified craftsmen. In terms of resistance to external influences, lumber is not inferior to metals, is easy to assemble and provides geometric stability to the new building.

Frame house made of block elements

Walls in frame structures can be filled with different materials, but most often with SIP panels and OSB boards. OSB boards are wall panels filled with any available thermal insulation materials - mineral wool, polyurethane foam, foam concrete and others. Prefabricated SIP panels are equipped with thermal insulation by default, and also have wind and water protection.

When planning your home, you must take into account all the characteristics and features of the materials used. If you want to build a building from SIP panels, remember that they are quite heavy. To build an object with your own hands, you will have to use lightweight building elements, otherwise you will need the help of professionals with special lifts.

SIP panels are much lighter than most other materials used in construction. Despite this, they allow you to build very warm, durable and practical buildings. Modern SIP panels are not afraid of snowfalls, hurricane winds and other extremely unfavorable weather influences.

The main advantages of frame technology include:

light weight of the entire structure, which allows construction to be carried out on any soil without complex and costly excavation work;
minimizing construction costs;
the admissibility of simple redevelopment of the building during its operation;
possibility of completing the facility;
variability of the internal and external cladding of the object.

Frame houses are easy to cladding. If necessary, you can carry out repairs to the exterior of the property at least every season at low financial costs.

3D panels are a striking example of innovation in construction. This technology appeared relatively recently, and therefore it has not yet become well known to owners and developers. At its core, the technology of construction from 3D panels is a modified, even more modern frame construction of buildings.

3D panels are monolithic slabs made of expanded polystyrene, reinforced with mesh reinforcement on both sides. The panels are connected to each other by reinforcement rods that pass through the entire structure, which provides the building with stability of shape, high strength, and resistance to any external influences. Moreover, the design is lightweight and you can assemble it yourself.

3D panels are ideal for building houses

A house made of 3D panels does not have a rigid frame; it is a panel building connected with a reinforcement clip. When all the wall panels are formed from the panels, the structure is filled with a concrete jacket, which further improves the characteristics of the building. The advantages of houses made from 3D panels include:

the panels are made from energy-efficient polymers, so the object will lose a minimal amount of heat during operation;
prostate and high assembly speed;
panels are created in industrial conditions, which ensures excellent quality of each individual element of the facility and the entire building as a whole;
Even after concrete pouring, the panels weigh very little, so the building does not need a heavy foundation.

3D panels are in the same price category as gas and foam blocks that are more familiar to users. However, 3D panels are superior to their counterparts due to their ease of assembly, reliability and stability characteristics.

Permanent formwork is one of the most popular technologies for constructing private houses. The formwork is formed from panel and block structures, which are placed along the perimeter of the future building and form a partition from them. Reinforcement is installed into this wall and concrete is poured, making the new building highly rigid and stable.

Due to the low weight of such building structures, the foundation of the facility can remain lightweight, both during the construction of one-story buildings and during the construction of two-story houses. The formwork can be filled with various materials, due to which the technical characteristics of the object, as well as the cost of the materials necessary for this, will depend on the owner’s decision.

Permanent formwork technique

The main advantage of the permanent formwork method is that the owner of the land plot can perform all the necessary construction and installation work with his own hands. It’s good if friends or relatives help him, but if there are none, you still don’t have to turn to professionals for help.

Despite the permissibility of using various materials to fill formwork, experts recommend using only those materials that will provide the new building with good thermal insulation characteristics. In this case, you will not need to worry about additional insulation.

Velox is another innovation on the construction market. The principle of this technology is based on the use of permanent formwork, and the formwork is made not from polystyrene foam blocks, but from cement-bonded or chip-cement boards. The installed external slab must have special polystyrene foam insulation and sealing, which allows the structure of the structure to successfully withstand external influences.

House using velox technology

Permanent formwork on the market is available in different thicknesses. Separate elements of the future structure using Velox technology are connected with cement mortar, to which liquid glass is added, which provides the structural elements with moisture-repellent characteristics. The most important advantages of Velox technology include:

low weight of the structure;
small thickness of wall panels;
simple and easy installation;
high strength of the finished structure;
good thermal insulation characteristics, thanks to which the building does not need additional insulation.

When using these and other modern technological solutions in private construction, you must remember that all methods are aimed at simplifying construction and installation work and are intended only for the construction of one-story structures, and in rare cases, two-story ones. In addition, when planning, it is necessary to carefully calculate the load on all elements of the facility and choose the right material to fill the building. The materials determine what technical characteristics the new house will have, so you shouldn’t skimp on them.

The world around us is becoming more and more perfect every day, progress is being observed in all industries. Thanks to this, new materials and technologies are appearing in housing construction, which raise it to a completely different level. First of all, they allow work to be carried out at any time of the year, which has a positive effect on the speed of construction of objects and significantly improves their operational performance.

Characteristics and properties of modern materials

The choice of building material is influenced by cost, speed of wall construction, strength and thermal conductivity, and the need for finishing. In low-rise construction in Russia today they are increasingly using:

laminated veneer lumber;
foam and aerated concrete blocks;
SIP panels.

Glued laminated timber

This material can be called elite, since it is not cheap.

strength;
precise geometric shapes;
does not shrink;
ease of assembly.

In addition to the high price, laminated veneer lumber has another drawback that affects its environmental friendliness: the glue used in manufacturing.

Foam concrete blocks

Nowadays, in cottage construction, foam concrete blocks are often used, which:

retain heat well;
are light in weight;
normalize humidity;
easy to install and process.

Disadvantages include fragility and hydrophobia. Therefore, when working with this material, it is necessary to use reinforcement and provide additional finishing.

Aerated concrete blocks

They are not inferior in popularity to the previous material. Their structure is characterized by large pores.

light weight helps reduce the load on the foundation;
ease of installation;
precise geometric shapes make finishing easier;
the presence of plasticizers allows installation at low temperatures;
reliability and durability;
low cost;

For aerated concrete blocks, in addition to the external cladding, insulation is required.

SIP panels

Increasingly, new technologies are used in low-rise construction, which are borrowed from other countries. Today in cottage villages you can often find warm and comfortable houses made of SIP panels, made using Canadian technology.

Ease of installation. The panels are attached to the timber using self-tapping screws. The construction period for such a house is a couple of weeks.
Simplicity of finishing.
Quick redevelopment if necessary.
High level of noise insulation.

The disadvantages include the fact that they practically do not allow air to pass through and belong to the group of flammable building materials.

New technologies in private housing construction

Traditionally, private houses were built of wood. Despite the high price, this technology is quite popular in our country. At the same time, for the construction of private housing, blocks are increasingly being used, which are much cheaper than wood. An unconventional approach to construction is the TISE method.

What is TISE technology?

The technology involves the installation of pile elements or a columnar foundation, complete with a grillage.

The essence of the method is that the module is fixed at the location of the wall, and later concrete is poured into it. The forms are dismantled after the solution has hardened and installed in another place.

Lack of temperature bridges;
No special equipment required;
Possibility of choosing the composition for wall filler;
2-3 people are enough to carry out the work.

When building a house using TISE technology, it is important to control the construction process. So, every 4-5 rows a reinforcing mesh is laid, then the verticality of the wall being built is checked.

Construction of a frame house

The frame is assembled after pouring the foundation. The design consists of beam elements fastened together, installed diagonally, horizontally and vertically. Wood or metal is used as the base.

The role of cladding is performed by walls, for the construction of which various materials are used:

on a wooden frame made of OSB boards. Expanded clay, foam concrete, and light fibrous materials are used as thermal insulation.
complete ready-made panels.

For the second option, you will have to use special equipment, since the shields are quite heavy. And assembling them, following the technology, is also quite difficult.

Any foundation is suitable for building such a house.
Redevelopment will not require large investments.
Makes it possible to increase the living area without special expenses.

Any material can be used for finishing frame buildings without restrictions.

3D panels

They resemble the frame-panel assembly method. The difference is that they are produced in industrial conditions and are monolithic slabs of polystyrene foam, which are pre-reinforced and reinforced on all sides with meshes. They are connected to each other by metal rods passing diagonally through the entire structure. Buildings constructed from such blocks are durable, warm and economical.

The frame of the house, in its classical sense, is absent with this technology. The panels, rigidly connected to each other, form load-bearing walls, which, after construction, are covered on both sides with a concrete jacket.
The panels are made of polymer materials with a high energy efficiency index, therefore, heat loss will be insignificant.
Reduced construction time due to ease of assembly.
Industrial production is a guarantee of the quality of individual elements, and therefore of the building itself.
The light weight of the panels eliminates the need to install a heavy foundation.

The cost of 3D panels cannot be considered budget, but it is comparable to the price of foam and aerated concrete products.

House using permanent formwork technology

With this method, the formwork remains in place and becomes part of the wall or foundation. The installation principle is similar to brickwork. The structural elements have grooves or special connections made like locking ones.

Opposite blocks are secured with ties. The reinforcement in this case is vertical. Filling is carried out in cycles; in one go, the height should not exceed 3-4 rows of blocks.

The result is a monolithic structure that is reliable in itself. Permanent formwork forms an additional frame, which further strengthens the walls of the house.
Monolithic walls put less pressure on the foundation, which allows you to increase the number of floors of the building.
Foamed polystyrene is not only an excellent insulation material, but also has good soundproofing characteristics.
With this technology, there is no need to rent expensive special equipment. And the pouring process itself is not particularly labor-intensive.
Finishing the outside and inside of the building will not require extra costs, since the surface of the walls created by the blocks is smooth.
The service life of such buildings, subject to technology, is at least a century.

The cost of a house built in this way will be significantly lower than a brick or wooden one.

Conclusion: Innovations in low-rise housing construction are aimed at solving specific problems. It is almost impossible to predict what it will be like in a couple of decades. But one way or another, the latest technologies in construction will be aimed at ensuring the comfort, efficiency, reliability and durability of our housing.

The latest technologies in construction. Modern house construction, main properties and characteristics

Today, new technologies are increasingly used in the construction of residential buildings and outbuildings. For the construction of buildings, modern materials are used that have excellent performance characteristics, are reliable, environmentally friendly and durable.

What new technologies can be used in construction?

Innovative methods in our time include methods for constructing houses from:

glued timber;
foam concrete blocks;
aerated concrete blocks;
SIP panels.

Even when using conventional construction technologies, modern finishing techniques, hydro- and thermal insulation, pouring of enclosing structures, etc. can be used.

Properties of laminated timber

This new material is most often used for the construction of houses and baths. New modern construction technologies are not always cheap. Glued laminated timber is a somewhat elite material. Since it is quite expensive, utility structures are rarely erected from it. The main advantage of this new material is its strength and precisely calibrated geometric shapes. Thanks to the special configuration of laminated timber, it is very easy to assemble houses from it. In addition, unlike profiled material, such material does not shrink. The buildings erected from it look very modern and neat.

However, glued bursa has one small drawback. The fact is that glue is used in the manufacturing process. As a result, such an important indicator as environmental cleanliness is deteriorating.

New technologies in house construction that involve the use of laminated veneer lumber are not particularly complex. However, when choosing this material itself, experts advise that you definitely pay attention to the manufacturer. You should only buy such timber from trusted companies. Material purchased from an unknown company may be of poor quality. In this case, walls assembled even in compliance with all recommendations may subsequently shrink, crack, begin to rot, etc.

Advantages and disadvantages of foam concrete blocks

The latest technologies in construction involve the use of not only natural materials processed in a special way, but also those manufactured artificially. For example, country houses today are very often built from foam blocks. Such buildings are distinguished by simply remarkable performance characteristics. The advantages of foam blocks include:

the ability to “breathe”;
excellent heat-retaining qualities;
light weight;
ease of use.

Lay foam blocks on glue. Moreover, unlike cement mortar, it is applied in a very thin layer. As a result, cold bridges do not form in the walls.

But, of course, this material also has disadvantages. These include, first of all, fragility. When constructing walls made of foam concrete, reinforcement must be used. In addition, foam blocks are afraid of moisture. That is, for example, it is not worth building a bathhouse from them. Even residential buildings built from this material must be additionally sheathed with finishing material or finished with special plaster.

New technologies for the construction of private houses: aerated concrete blocks

This is another material that has gained immense popularity among owners of suburban areas. Like foam concrete, it is a special man-made stone with a large number of small voids inside. Thanks to this structure, blocks of this type retain heat very well and are lightweight. The advantages of aerated concrete, among other things, include the ideal geometry of the forms. Finishing walls from this material is very easy, since they have a perfectly flat surface. You can build a house from aerated concrete blocks very quickly. However, such walls also require reinforcement.

Characteristics of SIP panels

New construction technologies that have come to us from other countries often make it possible to construct inexpensive buildings with excellent performance characteristics. In cottage residential and holiday villages today you can quite often see lightweight houses made of SIP panels. The technology for constructing buildings from this material is called Canadian. The fact is that it was invented precisely in this cold country. The main advantage of SIP panels is that they can be used to build very warm houses. The advantages of this material also include:

Easy to install. You can assemble a Canadian house in just a couple of weeks. In this case, it is absolutely not necessary to hire a construction team. The technology for constructing houses from SIP panels is very simple. They are attached to the timber using self-tapping screws.
Simplicity of finishing. The walls of houses made from SIP panels are perfectly flat.
Possibility of quick redevelopment. Installing new or removing old partitions in such a house will not be difficult.
High degree of sound insulation. No sounds penetrate into such houses from the street.

The latest technologies in construction, of course, can have not only advantages, but also disadvantages. The main disadvantage of SIP panels is that they do not allow air to pass through at all. Expanded polystyrene is used as insulation in their manufacture, which is also considered not a very environmentally friendly material. In addition, such stoves burn well.

Today on sale you can also find SIP panels with mineral wool. The risk of fire when using such material is significantly reduced. However, mineral wool also has a rather significant drawback - it is afraid of moisture.

What new technologies are still being used?

Among other things, in our time the latest technologies in construction can be used, such as:

penetrating waterproofing of foundations, walls and other concrete structures:
pouring walls using mortar and permanent formwork;
assembly of LTSC frames.

What is penetrating waterproofing

In Europe, this technology for protecting building structures from moisture has been used for quite some time. It was first used in Denmark. It is a penetrating waterproofing special composition intended for treating foundations, walls and other structures built using cement mortar. Once applied to a concrete surface, it penetrates into the pores and dries to form insoluble crystals. This prevents the absorption of water by the concrete during the operation of the structures.

Permanent formwork

New technologies in the construction of private houses make it possible to build very inexpensive, lightweight and at the same time warm walls. The main advantage of the method of pouring enclosing structures using permanent formwork is the speed of work. When using such slabs, you can build the walls of even a large house in literally one and a half to two weeks. Permanent formwork is made from warm polystyrene foam. The ease of assembly is determined by the features of its design and low weight. The use of such sheets, among other things, allows the construction of buildings of the most complex layout. The fact is that today there are not only ordinary, but also non-standard blocks of this type on sale.

Some disadvantage of the technology for constructing buildings using permanent formwork is the need to use absolutely homogeneous concrete. Also, during construction, you should take the utmost responsibility in assembling the reinforcement frame.

What are thin-walled steel structures

When constructing various types of large-area structures, new materials and technologies can also be used. Light metal profiles can be used in the construction of various types of hangars, warehouses and auxiliary premises. The frame of the structure is assembled from them. Using LTSC technology, attics, utility and residential buildings are erected. But more often, hangars for various purposes, storage and auxiliary premises are assembled on a profile frame. The advantage of such a metal base is, first of all, ease of assembly. If necessary, the structure can be easily dismantled and installed in a new location.

The disadvantages of LTSC include, first of all, deformation under significant temperature fluctuations and the inability to achieve high energy efficiency. Steel structures, unlike wooden ones, can freeze in winter.

The high cost and complexity of constructing buildings and structures using traditional methods is the main reason for the need to use new technologies in construction. The use of modern materials allows you to assemble reliable structures quickly and with minimal cost. This is why SIP panels, foam concrete blocks, laminated veneer lumber, etc. are becoming increasingly popular. In most cases, nowadays houses are built using them.

Construction of private houses using new technologies

When choosing a project for building a house, each owner expects to fulfill two conditions: efficiency of assembly and comfortable housing. That is why manufacturers offer high-quality and practical modern materials. And the latest technologies are also used. For example, smart home technology, which meets all the requirements and demands of the modern user.

New materials and their features

It is worth immediately paying attention to the fact that the latest technologies in construction and high-tech materials are different concepts, although they lie on the same plane. In particular, such piece products as:

foam concrete blocks;
gas blocks;
rounded log;
OSB boards;
Sandwich panels;
SIP panels;
other...

These are production innovations that have recently appeared on the building materials market, however, they do not require new technological methods, but have features in terms of installation. For example:

Block products (foam concrete, aerated concrete) have a larger format than piece bricks, have increased energy intensity, low weight, and variable density. Due to these indicators, the construction period is reduced, workability is increased and all the high indicators of strength, comfort and practicality of a private house are maintained. Another plus is that the price of materials is lower than for brick, and due to the low weight of the structure, a lightweight foundation is recommended.

Rounded log is a natural material that has all the characteristics of natural wood and has high heat capacity.

Rounded logs are a natural material that has all the characteristics of natural wood and has high heat capacity, but the price of the material is lower than that of laminated veneer lumber, although the practical qualities remain at a high level. The developer receives convenient piece material with a stable shape, saving on purchases, and thereby reducing the overall cost of the project.
Panels. The product is also a one-piece product, ideal for a private developer. The convenience of the material is that it is completely ready for installation, that is, the panels are already equipped with a heat-insulating layer, a windproof membrane and moisture protection. You just need to install the frame of the walls, ceilings and roof - the house is ready. In some cases, panel sections have external and internal finishing. The price of materials is significantly lower than any other piece product, the light weight of the elements requires a lightweight foundation, assembly is carried out without “wet processes”, lifting equipment is not always required for installation, which allows you to build a house with your own hands.

Moreover, all of these materials are of invaluable quality - they are able to realize any shapes and formats of buildings without requiring large investments from the developer.

New technologies and their features

The use of new order materials does not cancel the use of building houses using new technologies. The combination of two indicators ensures not only the efficiency of construction of buildings, but also a significant reduction in the cost of house construction.

An extremely popular technology, which also has the definition of “adjustable formwork”. The process was developed by domestic scientists and, when used, not only does not require the use of special equipment, but also allows you to get by with literally just one pair of hands.

TISE principle

The method is characterized by the installation of pile elements or the arrangement of a columnar-type foundation, supplemented by a grillage. A mandatory tool is a drill designed for TISE technology. Wall panels for this lightweight foundation are assembled from a block piece product, formed directly on the construction site: mobile formwork acts as a form and moves along the wall panels as soon as the made module hardens.

Complete absence of cold bridges;
You don’t need a team of professionals; you can easily do it yourself and a couple of assistants to move the formwork and excavation work;
Variability in the composition of blocks, which reduces construction costs.

Advice! Most often, TISE technology uses two building materials: concrete and brick. Concrete blocks have a high heat capacity; bricks for cladding will give the structure strength, dimensional stability and additional rigidity.

Frame construction

This is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to build a private house. A variety of options for arranging the frame, a lightweight foundation, the ability to build houses up to 2 floors, a huge number of projects and the practicality of the house are the main advantages of the technology.

Peculiarities

The construction of the frame begins immediately after the installation of the foundation. The entire structure consists of block elements arranged horizontally, vertically or diagonally, articulated with each other in various ways. Whether lumber or metal is used - it all depends on the financing and preferences of the developer.

It is only important to remember that a metal frame, although more durable, requires metal drilling tools and welding - these nuances can complicate the process of constructing the frame. Good quality lumber is not inferior to metal in terms of durability, while simplifying the assembly process. Most often, good quality timber is used, which is why both the shown rigidity of the frame and its geometric stability are maintained.

Modern construction of frame houses allows several options for filling the walls:

OSB boards act as wall panels and are filled with any available thermal insulation material, for example, mineral wool, foam concrete, expanded clay backfill, polyurethane foam.
Prefabricated SIP panels, already equipped with insulation, wind and waterproof film.

Prefabricated SIP panels, already equipped with insulation, wind and waterproof film

Advice! When practicing modern materials and technologies for construction, it is necessary to consider the usability of all elements. In particular, if you build a house with SIP panels, then in order to do it yourself you will have to either choose lightweight elements or hire lifts, since wall panel elements are often heavy. But it all depends on the preferences of the owner of the house.

The lightness of the structure does not require the construction of heavy and powerful foundations, which means that the construction of a house is possible on any soil without additional excavation work;
Minimum construction costs and the possibility of quick redevelopment and completion of the building;
Variability of external and internal cladding - panels and sheets easily accept finishing materials, so you can change the look of the house at least every season.

3D panels

These are perhaps the latest technologies in construction, which are still little known and available to developers. Despite the cheapness, availability is limited by ignorance and nothing else, because construction using 3D panels is nothing more than a modified version of frame construction of houses.

The panels are produced in industrial conditions; they are not a type of prefabricated panel element, but a monolith of an expanded polystyrene slab, additionally reinforced with reinforcing mesh structures on both sides. Such systems are connected to each other by metal reinforcement rods that pass through the entire structure, which not only preserves the stability of the panels’ shape, but also explains their high strength and resistance to any natural influences. At the same time, the extremely light weight of the structure is maintained, and assembly does not cause any difficulties.

Advantages of technology

In the standard sense, a building made from 3D panels does not have any “rigid frame”; instead, the developer receives a panel element connected with a rigid clip and thereby forming load-bearing wall panels. After installing these panels, the entire structure is filled with a concrete “jacket”, which only increases all the advantages of such a house:

The polymers used to create the panels have high energy efficiency, which means that heat loss in such a house will be minimal;
Simplicity of assembly ensures quick construction;
Manufacturing in an industrial environment guarantees the quality of both an individual element and the entire building as a whole;
There is no need to create a heavy foundation; 3D panels, even when poured into concrete, do not have a heavy mass.

Important! The material is much simpler than any block products in the sense that when hanging heavy cabinets you do not have to reinforce the wall with boards. At the same time, the price of 3D panels may well compete with foam and gas block products.

Permanent formwork

Availability and ease of implementation have made this technology one of the most popular and frequently used in individual housing construction.

The principle of technology and its advantages

As in the case of TISE, the use of permanent formwork allows you to build a house alone. Other advantages are the following factors:

The formwork is formed from block or panel structures, which, during the construction of the house, are located along the perimeter of the base and form a pier where reinforcement is mounted and concrete mortar is poured, which gives the structure additional rigidity;
The variability of the formwork filler allows you to save a lot on building a house;
It is possible to build structures up to 2 floors, while the foundation remains lightweight due to the low weight of the entire building.

Advice! If you choose not only new technologies for the construction of private houses, but also the right filling materials, in this case, for wall formwork, you will not have to worry about additional thermal insulation materials.

Construction from SIP panels

As for this technology, the most modern materials are used, but the essence itself comes down to a subtype of frame construction. SIP panels are a panel material made from two chipboard boards, between which thermal insulation and waterproofing material is laid, and there is often an additional wind membrane. The main advantage of such panels is their readiness for installation on site.

In addition, there are other advantages:

Efficiency of house assembly;
The light weight of the panels allows you to use a lightweight foundation and do the construction yourself.

Advice! Despite the apparent lightness of the panels, this is a very durable material. The completed house will not only be warm and practical, but also durable. SIP panels can easily withstand hurricane winds, snowfalls and other environmental influences. At the same time, the material is easily mounted, fastened and, most importantly, the production of panels is possible only in industrial conditions, which, with a good selection of suppliers, guarantees excellent quality of piece elements.

Velox

A relatively new technology used for the construction of private houses, the principle of which also lies in the use of permanent formwork. The difference from other methods is that the formwork is made not from expanded polystyrene block elements, but from chip-cement or cement-bonded slabs. The outer slab has additional compaction and insulation made of polystyrene foam. Permanent formwork comes in different thicknesses and is connected with a cement solution with the addition of liquid glass, which gives moisture-repellent properties to the structure.

The advantages are the following factors:

Light weight and thickness of wall panels;
Lack of additional insulation;
Efficiency of construction work;
Strength of the building.

When applying new technologies in the construction of private houses, one should not forget about other nuances: as a rule, all modern technologies are not designed for multi-storey buildings, therefore an accurate and high-quality calculation of the load and filling of buildings is required. And, of course, not the last point – materials. Manufacturers offer a huge range of products characterized by excellent quality indicators at reduced costs.

Modern materials are a new word in building construction

TISE technology – principles and most important advantages

The main advantages of TISE technology include:

monolithic structure and absence of cold bridges;
the ability to carry out construction work without the expensive services of professional teams;
high variability of block composition.

Construction of a frame object is an affordable solution for everyone

The main advantages of frame technology include:

light weight of the entire structure, which allows construction to be carried out on any soil without complex and costly excavation work;
minimizing construction costs;
the admissibility of simple redevelopment of the building during its operation;
possibility of completing the facility;
variability of the internal and external cladding of the object.

Easy to veneer. If necessary, you can carry out repairs to the exterior of the property at least every season at low financial costs.

Construction technique from 3D panels

3D panels are made of expanded polystyrene, reinforced with mesh reinforcement on both sides. The panels are connected to each other by reinforcement rods that pass through the entire structure, which provides the building with stability of shape, high strength, and resistance to any external influences. Moreover, the design is lightweight and you can assemble it yourself.

the panels are made from energy-efficient polymers, so the object will lose a minimal amount of heat during operation;
prostate and high assembly speed;
panels are created in industrial conditions, which ensures excellent quality of each individual element of the facility and the entire building as a whole;
Even after concrete pouring, the panels weigh very little, so the building does not need a heavy foundation.

A simple and reliable method of permanent formwork - we understand the advantages

Individual features and advantages of Velox technology

low weight of the structure;
small thickness of wall panels;
simple and easy installation;
high strength of the finished structure;
good thermal insulation characteristics, thanks to which the building does not need additional insulation.
