Features of combined country houses for a comfortable life. House made of timber and brick Combined house made of brick timber

Since ancient times, wood and stone have been materials for the construction of housing, without losing their popularity. Houses made of timber and brick are an example of a combined project. A stone building is particularly durable and will last for several generations, while a wooden building will show excellent heat-saving properties. If we use both of these materials during construction, maximizing their properties, we will get a project that deserves attention and has additional advantages.

Pros and cons of houses made of brick and timber

Project combined house made of brick and timber has many advantages compared to buildings made of homogeneous material. However, do not forget about the disadvantages:

  • the appearance differs from classical buildings;
  • selection of a construction team from universal workers or the use of the labor of professionals for two types of raw materials;
  • the complexity of installation when moving from one material to another, the quality of their connection.

Achieve effective use all the benefits are real if you correctly arrange the materials and perform them with high quality construction works. Projects of combined houses made of brick and wood are indispensable for difficult types of terrain where flooding is not uncommon: in ravines, near reservoirs and at the foot of hills. After all, drying a brick first floor is much easier than a log floor.

Wood as a material is especially sensitive to moisture and is susceptible to cracking, so you should not neglect treatment with special compounds and impregnations.

Characteristics of houses made of combined materials


By insulating the brickwork, you can solve the problem of quickly cooling the room.

Each building material has its pros and cons, and by wisely combining brick and wood in one project, the maximum result is achieved. The combined project is better protected from adverse weather than a house made of wooden bricks or from timber. Combined projects combine everything best properties and benefit from using two different materials. Undoubtedly, a house made of laminated veneer lumber is initially warmer, but measures to insulate the masonry solve this problem.

Comfort

The microclimate created by wood is incomparably superior to brick premises, so it is better to choose it for construction living rooms and bedrooms. This material is environmentally friendly, breathes, keeps warm in cold periods and cool in warm periods. It is advisable to lay parts of the living area intended for the kitchen, bathroom and corridors from brick. This approach is the meaning of combined projects. The combination of wood for areas of increased comfort with masonry for rooms of short stays allows for significant savings without sacrificing comfort.

Reliability


If the first timber floor is covered with brick, it will last much longer.

The increased strength of the brick floor gives the combined houses additional reliability during operation. Brick is less susceptible to adverse effects weather conditions, is significantly more resistant to moisture and does not require additional care compared to wooden walls. A brick plinth, unlike a wooden one, is minimally susceptible to deformation when wet, which will preserve the integrity of the entire building. Even a house made of laminated veneer lumber is not capable of staying in a humid environment for a long time. Timber house at the level of the first floor, lined with brick, acquires the characteristics of a combined one, which prolongs its durability and ensures reliable protection and simplifies maintenance.

Safety

Projects of combined houses made of brick and timber have an increased level fire safety. Since rooms potentially posing a fire hazard (kitchen, boiler room) are located on ground floor and are built from stone. Such walls prevent the rapid spread of fire, which will allow the fire to be localized in time and prevent it from spreading to wooden premises.

Construction speed

Houses made of brick and wood require less time to build a box. If the foundation and brickwork require time for the concrete to set and the mortar between the bricks to dry, then wooden second the floor allows you to complete the assembly in a few days. A wall made of timber does not require interior finishing; a wooden floor also takes minimal time, so immediately after connecting communications such a room is suitable for habitation.

Price issue


A wooden floor heats up faster and cools down more slowly, which allows you to save on its insulation.

The lion's share of construction costs is made up of materials, so saving on this cost item will significantly lighten the construction budget. It is more economically profitable to build a combined house of brick and timber than a completely brick building. A lighter wooden second floor makes it possible to use a simplified type of foundation, which will reduce its cost by half. Premises made of wood can quickly warm up and retain heat for a long time, which saves on insulation costs. In addition, houses made of bricks and logs depend in price on what kind of brick is used: red or silicate; the second floor is made from rounded logs, round timber, or laminated veneer lumber is used.

    What was done

    When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for their future home, we become doubly excited! After all, work on a new stylish project It’s always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot of land with picturesque views of the Oka bank! This view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, oriented towards beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future house! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, but it was necessary to build a house in a short time and ideal solution became for such tasks frame technology construction! If we’re going to be different, it’s in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finishing of imitation timber made of durable larch, painted in natural shades with emphasized wood texture. Laminated windows complement the modern look of the house! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with highlights and at the same time incredibly functional.

    It all started with an individual project found by the Customer’s family on a European website. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, took a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Client’s family; the foreman “planted” the house on the site. Based on geological surveys, it was decided to place the house on bored piles. The frame grew in a few weeks, then the roofing, insulation, exterior finishing! Behind winter period a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process independently of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation timber was selected by our manager and here in front of us is the bright and cozy country house of the Pushkov family’s dreams!

Combining materials is a favorite pastime of designers, in capital construction used to solve important practical problems. Proper combination of the physical qualities of stone and wood in the load-bearing walls of a building gives the developer a tangible benefit in cost and comfort.

It was these two factors that made houses from combined materials popular and widespread in modern suburban construction.

What combinations are reasonable and permissible when constructing such a structure?

Most often, stone (brick, monolithic concrete, aerated concrete or expanded clay blocks) is chosen for the walls of the first floor. The second floor is built from rounded logs or laminated veneer lumber.

It should be noted that combinations of different wall materials may also affect external finishing. Combined house allows you to use any options facade decor: brick walls The first floor can be finished with a blockhouse, insulating them using the “ventilated facade” technology.

Second frame floor can be improved decorative plaster or stone tiles. As an example, we invite you to look at the photo below.

Looking at such a house, you will not be able to unambiguously answer the question of what it is built from. load-bearing walls. Although it is also used here combined technology construction of walls. The first floor of this building is brick, lined with siding. The second is a wooden frame finished with ceramic tiles.

Constructive options for combined houses

Despite the variety of facade decor, the construction of combined houses must comply with the main principle: 1st floor is stone, 2nd floor is wood. It provides the building with the necessary strength and creates conditions for comfortable living on the second floor. Another problem solved by the combination of materials is reducing the labor intensity and cost of construction.

Anyone who does not want to spend extra money on exterior decoration is doing the right thing. The combination of stone and wood is optimal not only for structural reasons, but also from an aesthetic standpoint. Therefore, do not hide behind the finishing what looks perfect in itself.

An example is a mansion built in a deliberately rough combination of natural stone and logs. It fully complies with the canons of country style.

It originates from the harsh mountainous terrain, invented by Alpine shepherds. It also used the idea of ​​combining durable stone and warm wood.

Life in the mountains requires maximum reliability and functionality. Therefore, the first level of the chalet is always built from durable rock that is not afraid of snow debris, rockfalls and water. The second floor is designed to create comfort and coziness. For these purposes, you cannot find a better material than natural wood.

The “ancestral sign” of all buildings built in the chalet style is wide roof overhangs that protect the walls from heavy rains and melting snowdrifts.

Modern combined houses made of stone and wood are extremely diverse, since the choice of wall materials is very wide. If you are not satisfied with torn stone or flat limestone “flagstone”, then build the first floor from. They are quite durable and at the same time as warm as natural wood.

When preparing for construction, do not forget that houses made of foam blocks and wood require a reliable connection between the first and second floors. Cellular concrete is a rather fragile material. Therefore, it will not hold the steel anchors securing the second level support beam.

A competent solution for such a structure is to pour a monolithic reinforced concrete belt over the foam block walls. It increases the spatial rigidity of the building and allows you to securely fix the anchor bolts.

The appearance of a foam block wall is not very expressive. Therefore, it is better to cover it with blockhouse or siding, laying a vapor barrier and a layer of mineral wool insulation behind the façade cladding.

For combined construction cottage can be used. They are stronger than foam concrete, not as fragile and very warm. Finishing arbolite walls not labor-intensive, since any decorative plaster adheres well to them.

The second floor can be built from planed timber. This material retains heat well in a residential floor and does not require finishing cladding.

If you need a three-level combined house made of brick and timber, then build it according to this scheme: basement technical floormonolithic reinforced concrete, the first level is brick, the second is a frame or log house.

Talking about frame version walls of the second floor, note that it will not only save your money, but also allow you to flexibly change internal layout, adapting it to family needs.

You can hide the frame of the second floor behind the finishing. Another interesting option- specially highlight it, turning it into an element of facade decor. A half-timbered structure is best suited for this – an antique one. frame system, in which the posts, beams and cross braces face the façade.

A serious problem with all cottages is dampness on the ground floor. A combined house solves it simply and functionally. The lower floor is reserved for utility rooms. Here you can equip a boiler room, a bathhouse, a workshop and a garage. Bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms, game rooms and the kitchen are located on the second, drier floor.

A combined house and a combined facade are not the same thing!

As we have already said, the combination of different wall materials is the main feature of a combined building. In contrast, the combined façade of a house can be used on any residential building.

For example, by building a cottage from insulated sandwich panels, you can easily “disguise” it as a stone one. For this you can use ceramic tiles, sandstone, porcelain stoneware or rustic plaster. If ordinary, rather than facing, brick is used for laying walls, then a “combi-facade” will also be appropriate.

The photo shows a house being built from brick and timber. Obviously, the unsightly brickwork will require additional finishing. It doesn’t have to be decorated like a stone. It is enough to fill the blockhouse along the guides and your house will be completely “wooden”. Another option is a combination of semicircular false logs on the first floor and laminated veneer lumber on the second.

Pros and cons of the combination idea

Having noted the main advantages of combined buildings: efficiency, planning flexibility, aesthetics and functionality, we will point out the disadvantages of such buildings.

The main one is different time“life” of stone and wood. U rocks it reaches 150 years. At best, the tree will last half a century. For a light frame and panel walls this period will be even shorter. Therefore, a moment will inevitably come when the first stone floor is still quite strong and reliable, and the walls of the second floor already require repairs.

Since combined country houses in Russia are still quite young, there is no negative experience of different rates of aging of wall materials. Therefore, reviews from their owners are mostly positive.

Summing up summary, we advise everyone who has decided to build a combined cottage not to forget about different periods operation of the first and second floors. To extend the life of the walls, buy well-dried and antiseptic wood, and trust the assembly of the frame to experienced professionals, not hackers.

For wooden frame A properly assembled drainage system is required to prevent moisture from entering the wood. In addition, at the construction stage, constant quality control of the sealing of all cross sections of wooden posts and beams is required.

During the construction of a combined house, the lower floor is made of stone, and the upper floor is constructed of wood. This design makes it possible to fully implement everything positive sides selected materials and avoid the appearance of their negative features.

Service life

Stone is used due to the fact that it is very durable, has a long service life, does not rot, and does not begin to deteriorate from the influence of water and moisture. It is worth noting that many people often do not feel comfortable in stone buildings. When moving from an apartment outside the city, you want to feel more comfort. It is a little more difficult to heat a stone structure than a wooden one, but the reliability of the structure fully compensates for this shortcoming.

Wood, in turn, has a positive effect on the atmosphere inside, making the cottage more comfortable and warm, and also perfectly regulates indoor humidity. A wooden house creates a more emotional and personal feeling of home than typical high-rise buildings with neighbors on all sides. Some people are afraid of the fact that wood is an excellent burning material, and they are also afraid of exposure to moisture, fungi, small rodents or termites, but with modern technologies all these problems have long been solved.

Houses made of stone and wood ideally combine such an original base and upper floors, which makes it possible to eliminate two birds with one stone, separating the functionality of wood and stone in such a way as to obtain the advantages of each material. This structure also has a very non-standard, stylish and original appearance, which its owners will not fail to like.

Where should wooden structures be installed, and where should brick ones be installed?

You need to build an inexpensive combined house correctly. The first floor of the building is made using brickwork. The most effective and good decision Insulation will be arranged using the ventilated façade technique. Aerated concrete blocks can also be used. Thus, on the ground floor it is worth installing the most “flammable” rooms, such as a kitchen, a room with a fireplace, a sauna, and also a place for cars.

The attic floor is built using wood. The most commonly used are logs, laminated or profiled timber, unplaned timber with finishing and insulation. From above, the wood is securely covered by large roof overhangs, and it is separated from the wet ground by an entire floor. Thanks to special protective coatings such wood can last for a very long time without deteriorating or aging. Therefore, on this floor, with greater comfort and better ecology, it is worth placing living quarters.

It is necessary to approach the choice of decoration inside the house with great responsibility, so that the stone and wooden parts of the house are harmoniously combined with each other. However, you should not create monotony in the interior; it is better to emphasize the advantages of each material. Such buildings are furnished inside in a “country” style, which effectively emphasizes the advantages of materials, as well as natural forms.

How to build a combined house inexpensively

The price of building a house depends on:

  • the materials you decide to choose for construction;
  • your design requirements;
  • site location;
  • building area.

By choosing high-quality and reliable contractors, you can build a real dream cottage!

A combined country house is always an attractive structure that has been popular for many years. Such buildings first began to appear in the Middle Ages in the Alps; they were erected by shepherds during wintering. Gradually they began to gain popularity throughout Europe until they reached our country. The “chalet” style allows designers to express their full potential. creative potential and fantasy. For example, the top floor can be decorated in a medieval style.

Advantages of combined houses

A combined house is a harmonious symbiosis of the solidity and aristocracy of stone with the natural warmth of wood, providing the exterior of the home with a wonderful appearance, and the interior with an inimitable atmosphere, imbued with coziness and comfort. However, this is not all that these buildings have earned an excellent reputation and ensured wide popularity.

The main advantages of such houses include the following:

  • Saving. Only the first floor is built from brick (sometimes from clay adobe, river shell rock or cinder blocks), and the second floor is made of wood. Such an architectural solution ensures a relatively low weight of the structure and, as a result, no need for a very expensive foundation. Moreover, the costs of building a second floor also using stone are usually much higher than the costs when using wooden materials.
  • High fire safety. It is obvious that wood is a combustible material, but the construction of the first floor, where the kitchen, fireplace, and boiler room are usually located, from stone significantly reduces the risk of fire, and when such a need arises, it simplifies the localization of the fire.
  • Durability. The brick has extremely high resistance to destruction under the influence of moisture and is distinguished by mechanical strength. In turn, timber and wood composites, manufactured at the Vitoslavitsa production facility, are also highly resistant to negative influences environment and mechanical loads, however, reducing the frequency and intensity of such impacts only increases the service life of the house.
  • All-season comfort. Combined houses made of stone and wood retain heat well. At the same time, the latter material helps to stabilize the humidity in the room, thereby achieving a comfortable microclimate in the premises.

Construction stages

If you do not take into account the development of the project, then the construction of any capital building begins with the construction of the foundation. In this case optimal options are recessed strip and slab.

  • Beginning of construction of walls made of stone (as mentioned above, materials such as brick, clay adobe, river shell rock, cinder block can be used);
  • Installation of floor coverings;
  • Completion of the construction of stone walls;
  • Installation of wall coverings;
  • Assembly of the second floor (rounded logs, laminated veneer lumber or profiled beams are used);
  • Installation of the supporting roof structure;
  • Arrangement of thermal, steam and waterproofing, as well as installation of roof ventilation;
  • Roofing;
  • Summing up utility networks and systems;
  • Exterior and interior decoration of the house.

Advantages of ordering combined houses from Vitoslavitsa

  • Having our own production: this allows us not only to guarantee the quality of the materials used, but also to provide you maximum benefit from cooperation with us.
  • Impeccable reputation: Vitoslavitsa has been building private houses for more than 5 years, and during this time we have made more than 150 customers happy.

The main advantage of combined projects is the combination of different wall materials from which they are taken best characteristics and properties. Simply put, these houses are more comfortable to live in than completely stone ones, and more reliable than completely wooden houses.

The lower, stone floor usually has a garage, boiler room, swimming pool or sauna, kitchen, storage room and laundry room. Thus, these rooms are not exposed to moisture and fire. However, concrete lacks the comfortable feeling of warmth and naturalness. This disadvantage is solved by constructing a combined project, in which the second floor is designed from wood wall material, giving comfort and a healthy atmosphere. Upper, wooden floor This is a living area with bedrooms, a nursery, and an office for work. As you know, wood “breathes” because it has pores and allows air to pass through. Relaxing and sleeping in wood is much more pleasant and easier than in concrete.

The base of a combined house is usually made of:

  • brick
  • building blocks (gas blocks, foam block, wood concrete, keramite, expanded clay block)
  • monolith
  • a natural stone

The second and subsequent floors are designed from:

  • timber - regular, glued, profiled
  • log - planed or rounded
  • frame technology with wood-look cladding
  • made of sip panels - also with wood finish

An excursion into the history of combined projects

The combination of stone and wood has been used in the construction of houses for a very long time, both in Russia and abroad. Initially the basis for this method The construction was inspired by the chalet style, common among the inhabitants of the Alpine mountains. A stone foundation was necessary to firmly plant the house on the mountain slopes and to withstand snow and wind. The residential roof was built of wood and had wide roof overhangs for protection from rain, which is currently the “calling card” of this architectural style.

In our country, houses using stone and wood were quite popular among merchants, wealthy artisans and kulaks. The lower stone floors were used by merchants as warehouses and shops, and by artisans as workshops. The second wooden floor was used as a residential floor. Such combined houses were cheaper than completely stone ones, and were more durable than completely wooden ones; thanks to the elevation of the wooden part above the ground, it was protected from flooding and less susceptible to fires. Total benefit!

Features of designing combined houses

As previously stated, main feature combined projects is a symbiosis of the strength of the stone of the first floor and the lightness of the wood of the upper floors. Of course, without good foundation this cannot be done, but its load will be less in the case of designing and building two floors of stone at once. And since the foundation is usually 25% of the total price of the house, you can save quite a decent amount on it. Unlike blocks, wood on the second floor will not require global finishing, except for priming and painting, so you can save money at this stage as well.

Combined houses do not require a long time to shrink. You can move into these houses immediately upon completion of the basic construction - having finished only the lower, stone floor. Wooden part, as in conventional wooden houses, it will take up to 1.5-2 years to shrink, so it is not recommended to finish it and move in immediately.

Savings on the construction of combined projects can also be obtained on thermal insulation, because, unlike an entirely stone house, a combined one requires less thermal insulation. It is also not necessary to treat the entire house with an antiseptic, unlike an entirely wooden house.

The tree is removed from the ground, and therefore from exposure to moisture. From stone building materials you can safely build such premises as a boiler room, a bathroom - even with a sauna, even with a swimming pool, a living room with a fireplace. As a result, the customer of the combined project will receive a competent, technologically advanced building at a low price, the materials of which are used by each person precisely for their own purposes.

A pleasant and unusual appearance is guaranteed if you choose a combined house project. A log or beam looks aesthetically pleasing and of good quality, and the finishing of the first floor is made of artificial stone or plaster will give appearance respectability. Our company’s specialists can design the facades either as a single whole or by preserving an unforgettable combination of wood and stone!
