Lifetime half-timbered houses fluctuates within 500 years. This is an extremely reliable and durable technology. Other building benefits:

Turnkey half-timbered houses are assembled by professionals in a matter of months;

The technology makes it possible to construct window openings as high as a whole floor. If you decide on this decision, the “warm floor” system must be equipped in the house. Double-glazed windows should be chosen energy-saving, with at least two glasses;

Half-timbered houses with photos are on our website. The peculiarity of the method is that the walls in such cottages are not load-bearing, they are enclosing elements and can be easily dismantled;

You can create maximum spacious rooms without any support beams and partitions;

Glued laminated timber, from which the frame is assembled, is a rather expensive material. But the costs are more than covered. You do not have to make a complex, heavy foundation due to the fact that the design will be very light;

The main plus is environmental friendliness. Half-timbered houses, projects and prices which you can study on the site are absolutely safe. No radiation, excretion harmful substances etc. In such a house, children will grow up healthy.

Glued laminated timber is a material that lends itself not only to thorough drying, it is treated with special equipment. Houses made of wood give a maximum shrinkage of 1% due to the fact that during production the humidity is kept at 10%. Cottages made of processed timber are hardly flammable, resistant to precipitation, and most importantly, they do not rot and are not eaten by insects.

How to build a half-timbered house?

Of course, in order to build half-timbered houses - projects and prices need to be carefully studied. The basis of the structure is the frame. The fastening of the timber between themselves is carried out according to the principle of spike on spike (on a hidden spike, cuts, etc.), while standard technologies use metal fasteners, which significantly reduces the service life.

Previously, half-timbered houses had to be renewed every 40 years, now this period has been “increased” by more than 2 times - up to 100 years. Maximum term construction - six months. Building a house takes so little time due to the fact that light foundations are used.

Support frame for finishing works does not close, therefore, the residents have a feeling of maximum unity with nature. If the walls are also made of glass, then this feeling is amplified at times. As a rule, impact-resistant glass with a special protective film is used for walls. This will protect your home from scammers, as well as you from accidental injuries that can be obtained if ordinary glass is broken. In addition, it is better to equip the outer glass mirror film. So you can see all the world, but feel safe, because no one outside will see what is happening in the house.

You can see half-timbered houses with photos on our website. These buildings are classified as elite, but affordable for most people. The main thing is to draw up a project by which you can determine the final cost of building a classic house and a half-timbered house, and make sure that as a result the price will be, if not the same, then a little higher. At the same time, fachwerk has many advantages and will serve you for many, many years.

On development stage individual project or choosing a finished one, it is important to take into account, first of all, the climate of the area, as well as the relief and features of the soil on which construction is planned. It happens that the construction of a full-fledged foundation on the site is impossible for a number of reasons, including the flooding of the territory, the presence of hard rocks, etc. In such cases, it is important to be especially careful when choosing a project for a house or cottage. The project of a half-timbered house is great way solutions to this problem.

The main features of the half-timbered style

Distinctive feature half-timbered buildings is the presence of a light load-bearing frame made, as a rule, of wooden beams and beams. The walls themselves perform only the function of a fence:

  1. Wooden frame, painted in dark shades of cinnamon.
  2. The balconies are made of the same beams as the frame itself.
  3. The second floor hangs over the first
  4. The presence of an attic

The advantages of modern fachwerk

Savings are among the main advantages of such a house or cottage. Money in the construction of the foundation and the purchase wooden beams, compared with the costs associated with building a house from logs or profiled timber. The construction technology of half-timbered houses allows you to complete the installation of the frame, walls and roof in the shortest possible time. And most importantly - this style is very beautiful!

When choosing a half-timbered project, it is important to turn to highly qualified specialists with experience in building similar houses. It's connected with large quantity complex calculations and the complexity of the design process. This catalog of finished projects presents big choice finished half-timbered houses and cottages of various designs according to low prices!

Looks very simple frame house half-timbered, but the construction will not disappoint you. At least, this can be seen from the numbers: very favorable dimensions of the house: 7 by 8 meters, and this is enough popular request. It is worth noting that when we describe projects, we work with different dimensions of the building, often they are something around 12 by 12. But these parameters often include a terrace. So, this half-timbered frame house project is quite good in size and there is nothing superfluous in it.

AT planning solution ground floor on the ground floor includes a group of premises: dining room, living room and kitchen. On the second floor there are two living quarters. A total of 3 bedrooms. On the first room living space is 47 m2, and on the second - 44 m2. The project of the house is one-story, the roof of the second floor is attic, not gable. Thanks to this, the volume of the second floor increases and the space near the walls is not lost.

1st floor with attic; up to 100 sq.m (7 by 8 m) - bedrooms from the premises. Designed in a modern design. Structural scheme: pile foundation, hardwood floors.

Half-timbered houses are a method of building houses and mini-hotels, which was invented by Europeans in the 15th century. Today, the popularity of this method of construction has begun to return again. Initially, when such houses only began to appear, they became a new trend in architectural construction. Place between beam structures filled with clay and mixture various plants. Half-timbered modern houses look much more elegant. The designs of such houses are very practical, but at the same time light. These houses are usually built without an attic. But there are options with the construction of the attic.

Features of half-timbered houses

Half-timbered houses appeared in Scandinavia

Today, architects use one favorite technique - the removal of the walls of half-timbered houses. This is possible due to the fact that the load on them is practically absent. In place of the walls, windows of any length can be mounted. This allows you to create a sense of unity with external environment. Most of these houses are built outside the city.

Half-timbered houses are one-story - these are structures made of timber. The main feature of such houses is that wooden beams not hidden under the skin. On the contrary, they become the main visible difference between such structures.

The main features of such houses are as follows:


Fachwerk house construction stages

Stages of building a house in a similar style:


  1. Before starting construction, it is necessary to develop a project, make a drawing. There are both classic and exclusive projects houses. The speed of creating a project will depend on how complex it is. If you want to speed up the process, you can take finished project and upgrade it according to your wishes. At the same time, great attention should be paid to laying the necessary communications;
  2. Foundation installation. It is desirable that it be monolithic.
  3. Building a home kit. A full-fledged set of details for a half-timbered house is created at the factory. The frame of such a house consists of glued laminated timber. For its manufacture, natural wood is used, which is environmentally friendly. The thickness of the timber is chosen depending on the climate conditions in which the house will be located;
  4. Building a house in the style of fachwerk. After the kit with parts is received, you can start assembling. It is important to determine if the first row of strapping is horizontal. After all, if there is even the slightest bias, the integrity of the structure may be violated. The beams are attached to each other with a notch. They are fixed using a hairpin. If you have a drawing, it will not be difficult for you to assemble such a house from a bar. The assembly technology here is the same as when working with the designer. As a rule, you will need 2 weeks for construction;
  5. Roof installation work. At this stage, the roof, attic is insulated, the roof is mounted. Rafters are made of timber, which allows for greater strength. First, insulate the place between the rafters. After that, waterproofing is done and the crate is attached;
  6. Glazing of the house in the style of fachwerk. A distinctive feature that the half-timbered style has is high glazing. Showcase windows are not only very aesthetic, but also reliable. Windows can be any length. Glazed space can fill more than half of the entire wall area. Do not be afraid that you will need to spend a lot of money on heating. Half-timbered houses require the installation of special heat-saving double-glazed windows. In such a house you will feel comfortable even in severe frost;
  7. Installation of walls outside. Here technology is used OSB boards. You can decorate the walls outside with any material. It all depends on the preferences of the customer;
  8. Installation of engineering communications. As already mentioned, this point should be decided even before construction has begun. After all, the installation of communications is associated with many nuances;
  9. Finishing inside. This is the final stage of work. Half-timbered houses have a special design, thanks to which they can be used inside a large number of various partitions. So that, interior spaces in such a house can be quite spacious.


    Example ground floor plan half-timbered house

The frame of a half-timbered house always consists only of glued beams.

Construction time


Half-timbered houses look very beautiful

The duration of the work will depend on certain characteristics of the project. They include the size of the building, originality and others. In general, the construction is carried out in a very short time. Let's say prefabricated houses in this style with an area of ​​300 square meters can be commissioned in 10 months.

It takes just a couple of weeks to assemble the house. Approximately 2 months will be required for designing. The same amount of time to finish the house inside and out. It will take a couple of months to lay communications. Three months is an additional filling.

If you need to install a bath or pool, then the construction can be stretched for more long term. By standard project You can build a house in seven months. Less will not work. After all, the timber requires drying. And the foundation will have to be infused.

Construction features

Features of the construction of houses in such projects are as follows:


In Russia, half-timbered houses are also becoming more and more popular.
  1. Thanks to the fact that such frame houses have a small weight, the foundation can be made monolithic tape;
  2. There are strict requirements for the choice of timber. It must be made from conifers. Boards should be cleaned of bark and cut from all sides. Each edge should be chamfered. There should be no mold or other damage on the tree;
  3. The technology of half-timbered houses has its drawbacks. These are fragile floors between floors. So, it is better to build frame houses no more than three floors. It is better to refuse the attic. As a rule, such log house projects involve one floor;
  4. Behind the facade of the house, made of wood, care is required. About once every three years it should be painted;
  5. The half-timbered house is very modern. Because it allows you to use various options finishes;
  6. Prefabricated houses made using this technology are very environmentally friendly, fireproof.

All of the above indicators that prefabricated houses have are quite high, but only under certain conditions. So, for example, the environmental friendliness of a house will depend on how environmentally friendly all its components are.

Ceilings in half-timbered houses are fragile. In case of a strong fire or earthquake, they will collapse.

If toxic paint is used to paint the timber, then it will be possible to argue with environmental friendliness. The same applies to fire safety. All elements must be non-combustible. They can be treated with refractory compounds.



It is quite difficult to draft a half-timbered house

Thermal insulation performance will only be high if thermal insulation materials chosen correctly.
Production frame houses This technology has both certain advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages and disadvantages of half-timbered houses

Among the advantages are such as:


Half-timbered houses look harmonious especially against the backdrop of nature.
  1. Ease of construction. This does not require the construction of a solid foundation. Accordingly, the time for construction as a whole is reduced;
  2. Huge opportunities for glazing. Prefabricated houses built according to fachwerk technology are strong enough. So, there is an opportunity to implement continuous glazing without the use of frame structures;
  3. Large spaces. Any window length. All this is possible thanks to the use of glued laminated timber, which is able to cover huge spans;
  4. Short construction time. A modern half-timbered house does not require the use of powerful equipment. A team of six people can assemble it very quickly;
  5. Unique and modern design;
  6. Use environmentally pure material- timber;
  7. Prefabricated houses built using this technology will not shrink.

Among the disadvantages are the following

  1. High cost of materials;
  2. Frame materials require constant care;
  3. High fire hazard;
  4. The likelihood of mold and mildew;
  5. Small wall thickness.

Thanks to a special lighting technology, such a house will have a record amount of light. So, such modern house could be a real dream. The construction of a half-timbered house is quite complicated, so it will not be easy to build it yourself.

You need to have certain skills frame construction. The construction technology of such houses was widely used in Germany and in Europe. People who have never seen such a modern house from the inside believe that it looks the same from the inside as it does from the outside. In some cases, they are right.



Sectional wall of a half-timbered house

Such a house is decorated from the inside in the half-timbered or Scandinavian style, which involves the use of white tones, a large amount of free space.

High-tech style is also acceptable. It is characterized by a large amount of metal, minimalism. If the construction of such a house does not involve the use of metal parts, then they can be successfully used in the interior.

Half-timbered houses have one significant drawback, which is a high risk of fire.

Some owners of such houses prefer to design their home in classical style. The beams of the house can also be actively used as an interior element. The roof of such houses is traditionally made gable without an attic. Although if it is important for you to have an attic, then this option can also be considered.
