Unlike three piglets from a well -known fairy tale, which had a limited number of building materials, to build a house, an extensive catalog is presented to the services of a modern consumer, including both classic materials and relatively recent building new items. And since building materials are not the products of consumer goods, they cannot be returned to the seller with the words: “Sorry, but I didn’t like it” or exchange for anything else, then the choice of the material from which the house will be built should be approached with all responsibility.
For the construction of houses, wood is used, brick, and from contemporary artificial materials, block products made of expanded clay, foam concrete or gas silicate are popular with modern materials. Any of the above materials has a number of undeniable advantages and some disadvantages, which, if desired, are eliminated using auxiliary material.
It is worth starting a viewing characteristic with a brick known to everyone, which is a mixture of clay and sand. For a long time, popular building material has high indicators of strength and frost resistance, as well as a relative degree of moisture resistance, which allows you to use it not only for construction, but also as a finishing material for external facades of residential and production buildings. Brick is fire resistant and cannot be rotten. Due to its compact form, this building material is used to create complex structures. However, there were not without flaws, the main of which is a low degree of thermal insulation. If the brick house does not heat for a long time, then the walls will freeze it, and it will be very difficult to return the heat to the room. At least this will need several days. The combination of moisture and severe frosts threaten the destruction of the material over the next 25 years. Add the complexity of installation to this list, the high cost of both bricks and professional styling services, and you will get a full description of this building material.
The main competitor of bricks in the construction market is expanded clay concrete blocks that have a similar characteristics with brick. They include sand, cement and burned clay or expanded clay. They have the highest strength of strength among blocks, are not exposed to frosts, and also do not absorb moisture.
A number of advantages of such material include ease of installation, low cost and excellent heat insulation indicators that provide the room with heat safety in the cold season and cool on a hot summer day. To this it is worth adding a lack of shrinkage to understand why expanded clay blocks are in high demand in the construction of low -rise country houses today.
The wood does not lose popularity, which is used today to create frame houses. Fast times of the construction of buildings according to this method, the reliability and durability of structures, a low level of deformation provide such buildings for a long -term operational period. True, there were no drawbacks. As a rule, wood is the most fire hazardous material, and often the lining that is used for wall lining can be dry out, which leads to the formation of gaps a few years after the start of operation of the building.
