How to build a house from metal sandwich panels. Do-it-yourself step-by-step construction of a house from vulture panels from foundation to facade

Previously inherent only to the Canadian population, and now to the whole world, houses made of sandwich panels are now very popular among the residents of Russia. Small-sized dwellings of this type are being built in the Moscow region, in the regions of the country, in the southern regions and in the most remote northern regions. Building a house from sandwich panels is easy, simple, fast, and most importantly, not so expensive. Therefore, below we will take a closer look at the process of building such housing, and also ask the price of the materials that, due to their excellent quality, give us the opportunity to live in warmth and comfort all year round.

Brief description of the material

The sandwich panel itself consists of three parts. These are two dense layers (chipboard, MDF or something else) and a soft layer of insulation, which is located between them. Each layer is attached to the other by means of a hot press, therefore they will not be able to separate in the future. The very construction of houses from sandwich panels suggests that two types of such material are needed. The first is referred to as wall. Its surface is either completely smooth or profiled on one side, which gives the walls a certain decor. They are used for the arrangement of roofs. They can be profiled on both sides, or only on one - the outer one.

Material application

Nowadays, many construction companies offer the population to build a house from sandwich panels in the shortest possible time. Feedback from people on this account, as a rule, depends on the company that took on the job and on the quality of the work. The material itself, which is used in this process, is undoubtedly good both in quality and price. Domestic construction firms build such projects in about two to three weeks. The most difficult stage in this work is the arrangement of the foundation. Further construction of walls and ceilings is as easy as shelling pears. Such houses can be sold on a turnkey basis, which is most often observed in our country. Less often people order frame housing for themselves on an individual project. Externally, houses made of sandwich panels look like full-fledged brick cottages, mansions, with a chic exterior and impressive facades. However, it is not chic at all - the main criterion for such housing. According to your sketches, workers will be able to build both a medieval castle from such panels, and a hut with one window.

Design

Before starting work, you should definitely draw up an accurate drawing of your future home. If such work is beyond your power, then sketch out a sketch, and a professional will take over the calculations, with whom you will clarify all the details. Note that there are also ready-made projects of houses made of sandwich panels, for which prices have already been set in advance. Also, those buildings that are made according to standard drawings are the most economical in terms of the consumption of building material. Therefore, if you first of all want to save money, take note of this. The project itself, which you will compose as a result, will consist of two parts, which we will consider in detail below.

Drawings of parts and products for further installation

Here we include an explanatory note with all the transcripts that will be present on the following pages. Then we put in all the data about the floor panels, the same must be entered about the wall panels of the first floor and about the attic. We mark the parameters of the parts. The next item is data on roofing materials. As a rule, houses made of sandwich panels are always complemented by wooden elements. These can be racks on the porch, balcony, in the house itself, etc., therefore, in this section we also indicate all the data on them.

Installation drawings for further assembly

Once you have calculated all the data for the house made of sandwich panels, we put the project together. To do this, you need accurate pictures, which will display the scale and each line exactly. Let's list what we need specifically:

ground floor plan;
attic plan;
sketches of facades (along axial directions);
plan and;
foundation section;
a plan for mounting panels that will overlap the foundation;
installation plan for wall panels on the ground floor;
installation plan for floors that relate to the first floor;
installation plan for wall and floor panels of the second floor (or attic);
installation of roofing panels;
section in the area of the stairs;
incision in the area of the ridge;
plan and

Construction stages. Foundation and initial works

The construction of houses from sandwich panels begins, like any other, from the foundation. In this case, the requirements for it are not so high due to the fact that the walls and ceilings of the future house are light and unpretentious. The depth depends strictly on the terrain and type of soil. Ideally, in this option, a strip foundation or columnar is suitable. At the same time, workers begin to make an assembly system for the house. Its essence lies in the fact that a strong beam is attached to the foundation with the help of anchor bolts. This material is impregnated with antiseptics and other protective mixtures, which allows you to keep the house always clean, dry and comfortable in the future. It is on this strapping bar that the panels will later be mounted.

Installation and installation of walls and ceilings

First, let's take a look at what unfinished houses made of sandwich panels look like. The photos clearly show us that, although they are considered "cardboard huts", they still have their own frame. It consists of boards, which are a connecting element that runs between each panel. It is on such a "lattice" that the panels themselves are attached, and all the cracks are blown out with polyurethane foam. Assembling a finished home always starts from the corner. In order to assemble such a dwelling, no more than two workers are required on the site. Overlapping houses always provide for blowing, which provides natural ventilation. Due to the fact that the house is based on a timber frame, it is easy to install window panels and door panels.

Roof installation

At the very end, the roof of the house is mounted. The process itself is no different from the standard one used by our ancestors. The bottom line is only that sandwich panels are nailed onto the skates and floors from the timber. Sometimes the roof is also equipped for additional protection (especially if you have one. After the work is finished with the main material, the decorative one is mounted. In its role most often the standard shingle acts. The main thing is that it matches the color and texture to your project.

Your own house made of sandwich panels. Owner reviews

Everyone in our time who has acquired this type of housing has never complained about it. People say that the house is always warm, cozy and comfortable. It is made of environmentally friendly, high quality and durable material. Another huge plus - the cost of finished housing does not exceed $ 30-33 per square meter. Communications and equipment also play an important role here. All pipes, wires and other details, without which a comfortable existence in our world is impossible, are hidden in such dwellings either in special boxes or behind false walls. And, of course, every consumer is pleased with the free space, which allows you to install any furniture in the house. The average height of the ceilings is 2.8 m, and the footage of the rooms you can determine for yourself.

Today, building a house from any material is not a particular problem. But the most amazing thing is that you can build a house in a minimum amount of time. This technology for the construction of houses is called Canadian.

SIP technology (structural insulating panels, they are also called sandwich panels) appeared in Canada forty years ago and only recently reached the Russian consumer. However, this technology has already gained its popularity, mainly due to its cheapness and speed of construction.

The use of sandwich panels provides a unique opportunity to build a house in a matter of weeks and move in immediately after construction. This is a big plus for those who want to move into a new home faster. Residential buildings made of SIP panels are built at any time of the year, retain heat well in winter and cool in summer, and have excellent sound insulation.

What are SIP panels

When building a house using Canadian technology, SIP panels are used, which are a three-layer structure. Insulating outer layers are made of different materials - metal, plastic or fiberboard. The inner one is a heat-insulating layer, which, depending on the required tasks, can be made of fiberglass, mineral wool, polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam.

All three layers are bonded by hot or cold pressing.

The most durable are sandwich panels with a metal coating. Metal is more resistant to external influences, has excellent sound insulation and is resistant to fire.

The choice of sandwich panels depends on your wishes in terms of sound and thermal insulation at home. The thicker the inner insulating layer, the more expensive the panel price will be. More detailed information, as well as the sale of sandwich panels is available at the link.

Advantages of building houses from SIP panels

Now let's figure out how high-quality and justified characteristics the houses built according to the Canadian construction technology have:

the most important advantage is the speed of construction. A house box using this technology is erected within one to two weeks;
good thermal insulation performance. In winter, it will not be cold in such a house, the walls warm up perfectly and keep the heat in the house. In summer, on the contrary, the walls keep the interior coolness of the premises;
the next plus follows from the previous paragraph - you can save on heating the house;
houses from sandwich panels can be erected at any time of the year;
walls are thinner than brick or other materials. And this adds extra space inside the house;
you can start finishing the interior and exterior surfaces immediately after the construction of the frame, and after registration, you can call in and live;
the walls are very flat and perfectly vertical;
walls have good strength;
no need for a specially prepared foundation;
very easy installation of the structure;
lightness of the material, and as a result, low transportation costs;
the most important plus is the low and affordable price for everyone.

As you can see from this list, there are many advantages when building a house using SIP technology. However, there are some limitations.

Cons of using sandwich panels for construction
Like any other material, SIP panels have their drawbacks:

necessary restrictions on the panel, since the structure is load-bearing;
carefully checked build quality. The gaps between the panels will cause a loss of heat and sound insulation;
ventilation is needed that can renew the air in the premises. Sandwich-panel houses are absolutely airtight;
fragility in comparison with other materials. Still, in our harsh climatic conditions, the service life of a house made of sandwich panels will be less than a house made of brick or concrete.

Any material for building a house will have pros and cons, the choice of “what to build from” is up to you, depending on your financial capabilities and the desired result.

What houses are built using sandwich panels

The active popularization of SIP technology is capturing more and more people's attention, and today many are thinking about building houses using this technology.

Using Canadian technology, you can build completely different structures - from garages to sports complexes and agricultural facilities.

But the most popular type of construction is the construction of a residential building. These can be small one-story houses or spacious cottages. After all, the cost of a house using Canadian technology allows for the least costly construction.

Summer cottages are a popular type of sandwich panel buildings. It is much more pleasant to have a warm, cozy and roomy house on your site, which can be built in one season, and enjoy your vacation in it for many years. At the same time, a country house will have all the characteristics of a full-fledged real estate.

The RUSSIP catalog contains hundreds of house projects with detailed layouts. Having studied the offers of the company, you can choose the best option for your land plot. If for some reason you want to make changes to the project, designers and architects are ready to do it for you. Experts are also engaged in the individual design of houses from SIP panels.

The RUSSIP company is:

Dozens of completed projects of houses built using SIP technology.

Own production and technology. The structure of the company is a design and engineering department and a plant with workshops for woodworking, powerful production lines for creating SIP panels and extensive storage facilities for storing finished products.

Inexpensive SIP houses are a specialization of RUSSIP employees. Using the convenient navigation on the site, you will select a suitable project for a house of the required area and with the necessary technological and design solutions in the shortest possible time.

How to build a house so that it is inexpensive, warm and pre-fabricated? To accomplish such a task, a sandwich panel structure can be used. A sandwich panel is a building material, which is a slab consisting of three layers.

The middle layer is insulation. It can be expanded polystyrene, polyurethane foam, mineral wool or fiberglass. The two outer layers are metal, vinyl chloride thermoplastic polymer (PVC), fibreboard (Fibreboard) or magnesia board.

The use of sandwich panels provides a high speed of construction work. To maximize assembly speed, you need to design a building with high quality. With the finished project, you should contact the panel manufacturer. According to the given project, all blocks will be manufactured individually. After that, there will be no need to adjust the joints during installation.

House building technology

To start building a house from sandwich panels, you need to purchase the necessary tools:

screwdriver;
drill;
a syringe device for applying construction foam;
building level;
paint brushes for applying mastic;
saw for trimming panels.

Construction begins with the construction of the foundation. A house made of sandwich panels is lightweight, so a monolithic tape shallow foundation or a foundation on screw piles with a wooden grillage is suitable for it. Before arranging the foundation, communications should be laid: sewerage, water supply and power supply.

Fastening panels to reinforced concrete structures. Option number 1: 1. Wall panel. 2. Cover strip. 3. Self-tapping bolt. 4. Thermal insulation. 5. Self-tapping screw. 6. Silicone insulation. 7. Seal.

A wooden strapping beam with a section of 100 x 150 cm is laid on the foundation. Before laying, the foundation is coated with bituminous mastic for waterproofing. The timber is attached to the concrete with anchor bolts, buried at least 10 cm into the foundation. In the corners, the timber is connected “into a paw” or “half-tree”.

Along the entire length of the timber, anchor bolts must be additionally provided for fastening with a step of half a meter. The bolt heads or their ends with nuts must be completely recessed into the tie bar.

It is proposed to mount the floor in two versions. In the first version, the floor is made as usual: boards are laid on the logs, and insulation is laid between the logs. The logs are installed with a support on the strapping bar and are connected to it “half-wood” in such a way that their level coincides with the level of the strapping bar. With this option, it is easier and more affordable to make repairs in the future.

The second option suggests using the same sandwich panels as a floor. They provide sufficient insulation. In this version, beams are used, which are both lags and spike beams that form a connection between the panels. The cross-section of these beams depends on the dimensions of the sandwich panels and comes in two versions: 150 x 50 mm or 200 x 50 mm.

Fastening panels to reinforced concrete structures. Option number 2: 1. Wall panel. 2. Cover strip. 3. Self-tapping bolt. 4. Self-tapping screw
5. Silicone insulation. 6. Seal. 7. Supporting corner. 8. Self-tapping screw.

The boundaries of the floor in the second option will coincide with the contour of the strapping beam along its outer edge. The panels are laid out on the strapping beam and cut to the required size. Pruning can be done with a regular saw. Then the panels are placed on the edge and on one of the sides, which will be at the bottom during installation, bituminous mastic is applied.

If it is required to remove the insulation from the end of the panel, then a thermal cutter is used. The thermo cutter is sold complete with sandwich panels. You can also make it yourself. The principle of operation of the thermal cutter is based on the manufacture of a tubular electric heater - heating element. It looks like a rectangular frame with a side of 150 or 200 mm. The frame should have a limiter for the immersion depth into the end of the sandwich panel.

The panel groove is filled with construction foam, a beam is inserted into it and pressed for a few seconds. The beam in the panel is fixed with self-tapping screws or wood screws in one and a half decimeter increments. Further, from the side of the beam, a second panel is attached with preliminary foaming.

The grooves remaining along the perimeter of the floor are tied with boards 2.5 cm thick. The entire floor along the perimeter is attached to the strapping bar with long screws. In the future, it will be possible to lay a warm floor with electric or water heating on the floor surface. Sandwich panels are strong enough to withstand furniture and other indoor furnishings on the floor.

Further, along the perimeter of the floor, a strapping board is laid, which is a bar with a cross-section of 150 x 200 mm, on which the walls are mounted. The dimensions of the board depend on the thickness of the sandwich panels. The first wall panels are mounted from the corner. Installation of panels is checked by level. Fastening the panels to each other is done in the same way as on the floor. When all the wall panels are installed, a strapping board is installed in their upper common groove.

Fastening panels to reinforced concrete structures. Corner option: 1. Wall panel. 2. Cover strip. 3. Self-tapping bolt. 4. Thermal insulation. 5. Self-tapping screw. 6. Silicone sealant. 7. Seal.

To strengthen the floor structure, additional beams are installed using mounting angles or brackets. Overlapping can be done according to the same principle as the floor, using sandwich panels. A pediment is installed on top of the ceilings at the ends of the building, which structurally consists of the same sandwich panels. The roof is rafter structure.

The gable roof rests on the end pediment of the building. A ridge beam is laid at the tops of the pediment, which has bevels made at an angle that provides the necessary slope. Parallel to the ridge beam, additional load-bearing beams are laid in the grooves on the pediment. The lower part of the ramp does not rest on the wall, but on the Mauerlat. This is a beam that fits on top of the wall and rests on a groove in the gable of the building.

An attic roof made of sandwich panels is laid on the ridge beam, load-bearing beams and Mauerlat, as well as the floor and walls. The rafters in this design are at the same time beams connecting the panels to each other. For windows in the walls, openings in the construction of sandwich panels should be provided. Openings can be cut into a solid mounted wall. The windows are installed as standard.

In rainy weather, work should not be carried out, because the ends of the cuts of the panels are not protected.

LLC "NIAL-SK" offers services for the construction of houses from sandwich panels in the Russian market of low-rise construction and industrial facilities.

The term "Canadian technology" is the construction of objects and houses from sandwich panels. In Russia, North American technology appeared relatively recently, but has already conquered a certain segment of the market. Today we can confidently evaluate all the positive aspects of this development. materials are used that meet the following characteristics: strength, reliability, durability, unique thermal insulation and many others.

All technical parameters of these buildings are ideal for Russian conditions - low air temperatures do not require large costs for heating the premises due to the low thermal conductivity and high thermal insulation of SIP panels. And the mobility and ease of installation guarantee a short time frame for the construction of the facility.
