Landscaping and layout

In addition to horticultural colonies (analogues of our horticultural associations), there are several other types in Sweden country houses for relax. TO country houses temporary residences include villas (villa), cottages (torp), weekend or holiday homes (fritidshus), country houses(lantställe), holiday homes (semesterhus), summer huts (sommarstuga) or simply huts (stuga). There are varieties of houses such as houses for children, garden houses, sports huts near ski resorts, etc. However, most often Swedish holiday homes are divided into villas and holiday homes (vacations or vacations). These buildings differ in size, level of design and comfort. In addition, the villa implies the possibility of year-round living in it, although in many Swedish country houses you can live all year round.

There are analogues of country houses for rest in many European countries: in England it is a weekend cottage, in Finland a cottage or a villa, in France Chaumiere (literally - a small house under a thatched roof), in Italy it is a second house (Seconda Casa), in Norway it is a mountain or forest hut, a holiday home (Ferienhaus) in Germany, and in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus - this is a well-known dacha.

Initially, country house-villas were available only to the wealthy strata of Swedish society. However, since early 20th century after the change of the way of life to industrial and the massive resettlement of Swedes to cities, the issue of recuperation and outdoor recreation became relevant for wider masses. For recreation, they began to use rural houses, chalets and cottages belonging to families or their relatives in the villages. The launch of steamship lines along the Stockholm archipelago made it possible to build country houses along their banks, even in those places where there were no roads yet. The industrialization of Sweden was rather slow, and the transformation farms and buildings in summer cottages lasted until the 1940s-1950s. During this period, vacation homes were no longer called huts or chalets, and the term "holiday home, vacation or vacation home" began to be used. In modern Sweden, vacations start mainly in summer, which is why the term "summer house" is also used.

The rapid development of infrastructures and communications in modern Sweden (a country that spends up to 15% of GDP on the acquisition of advanced technologies and patents around the world) makes it possible to live with the same comfort both in the city and in the countryside. Therefore, more and more Swedish families use country houses for permanent residence. (V tsarist Russia such domestic summer residents were called "zimogory"). Good transport accessibility, the ability to work remotely, low prices, clean nature and calm atmosphere make this choice more and more attractive. Swedish municipalities, following the requirements, create an appropriate infrastructure for electricity and water supply, recycling Wastewater, laying of new transport routes, construction of schools and kindergartens, medical centers.

The external and internal appearance of Swedish (and indeed Scandinavian) houses is determined by traditional Protestant values, which were formulated by the Danish writer Axel Sandemuse in 1933 in his novel En fl yktning krysser sitt spor (“The Fugitive crosses his trail”, has not been translated into Russian). These 10 rules are the so-called Janteloven:

Don't think you're special.
Do not think that you are our equal.
Do not think that you are smarter than us.
Do not imagine that you are better than us.
Do not think that you know more than us.
Do not think that you are more important than us.
Do not think that you can do everything.
You shouldn't laugh at us.
Don't think that anyone cares about you.
Don't think that you can teach us.

In short, Christian humility defines the life of a Protestant. Not the declared ostentatious humility "only in the church", but the most real, determining the course of a person's thoughts and dictating all his actions. Therefore, the houses of the richest people in Sweden differ only in size and level. design solutions, but not by the presence in the decoration of gold, Carras marble, tall fences and brutal guards, as well as other attributes of "Asian feudal coolness", so well known in our country.

Regular shipping in the Stockholm Archipelago has been established since the mid 1800s. Therefore, the first summer cottages - country houses began to appear along the banks of the skerries, even in those places where there were no roads yet. Nowadays, most Swedes get to their coastal dachas by yachts or boats.

The summer villa of a large wealthy (aristocratic) family was used as a residence during the summer. This concept out-of-town rest established in 1883. Such families went out for the summer with a large number of servants who were supposed to take care of domestic issues. The villas of the period were built with a large number of premises to accommodate both servants' families. and visiting guests.

Grosshandlarvillan "Big" villa in Sweden is a special type of summer house originally built by wealthy people who could buy or rent land in the interior of the Stockholm archipelago. The 1934 description says that Grosshandlarvillan unites the wealthy appearance with a cheap construction cost. Grosshandlarvillan villas were mainly built in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

After a deep and protracted recession in the 1920s and 30s, which led to the collapse of many Swedish companies and banks, the construction of large summer cottages was virtually stopped. After World War II, villas were replaced by simplified summer cottages. The first cottages of this type began to be built back in 1929.

In 1938, through government-subsidized low interest rates on loans, any Swedish wage earner had the opportunity to build or purchase a summer cottage outside the city limits for recreation closer to nature.

In 1940-50, when many small farms began to close due to the migration of the population to cities, many farmers began to build small country houses with an area of 20-55 m². In the 1950s and 60s, country houses began to be equipped with all the amenities of a city apartment or house.

Interestingly, even in those years, the Swedes used a selective scheme of the home electrical network, where individual lines were protected by a separate electrical "plug" - a fuse. In this photo there are 9 "plugs", but I saw shields with 20 plugs.

Converted old Swedish country houses are now equipped with full bathrooms. Modest, clean and comfortable.

Of course, modern bathrooms look better in Swedish houses. However, the laconicism of Scandinavian design is present even in the most expensive villas.

Even if the house is not equipped with a septic tank, but a peat composting toilet is used, the design of such a bathroom can be modern and aesthetic.

For more modest summer huts, the usual for our eyes is also arranged outdoor toilet.

But even in such a toilet is not used cesspool, as an attribute of the dense Middle Ages, and the same technology of biological composting is used.

In some Swedish homes, there are eco-friendly feces-burning toilets based on a catalytic electric burner.

Such toilets are good for use in buildings near water bodies, for minimal pollution. the environment... By the way, in Sweden (as well as throughout Scandinavia), construction near the water is not prohibited. In civilized countries, it is well understood that the purity of reservoirs is not due to the distance from the building to the reservoir, but to the level of environmental awareness of citizens, and the use of modern methods wastewater treatment.

Such architectural solutions in the style of "Modern" ("Modernism", "Jugend", "Tiffany", "Art Nouveau") end XIX beginning The 20th century was also typical for wealthy Finnish and Russian dachas.

However, if in Finland the country houses of that period were perfectly preserved, then in Leningrad region they died en masse during revolutions and wars, and continue to die at the present time from fires, redistribution of property and mismanagement.

Modern Swedish villas are distinguished by Scandinavian laconic style.

The overwhelming number of modern Scandinavian houses are based on a frame structure, as the most rational in construction and operation.

The embodiment of the triumph of a rational approach to construction country house is an A-shaped frame structure of a hut.

Stone country buildings in Sweden are mostly preserved old manor houses. The photo shows an example of an extension of a modern winter garden to an old stone building.

The trend of using as summer cottages original old or stylized old buildings without conveniences lasted in Sweden until the 1960s and 70s. (For comparison, in Norway there are still lovers of authentic "wild" country holiday). Now "antiquity" in Sweden can be found perhaps only in external design country houses, and even then infrequently, in comparison with the same Norway.

In Sweden, there is also large quantity architectural experimentation with contemporary variations of architectural styles.

Minimalism using the natural texture of wood is a very popular solution for the facades of modern country houses. Most often, larch is used, including without any processing or with processing with colorless antiseptics, as a result of which the wood acquires the natural natural color of dead wood in several seasons.

Combination of dark metal and raw wooden surface allows you to fit the building modern forms into the natural environment.

Another architectural trend in modern Swedish homes is the maximum glazing that allows you to live in the house as a continuation of the surrounding landscape.

The increase in glazing area is also used in the reconstruction of old traditional Swedish houses.

A variant of a chalet-style house with a loft (a sleeping loft with low ceilings, open into the space of the second light in the house). Most Swedish country houses feature a large wooden deck overlooking the surrounding beauty.

An example of a house reconstruction: a new frame floor was erected on an old stone plinth-base.

In the mid-1970s in Sweden, large construction companies bought agricultural land and built numerous small summer cottages in picturesque places.

Common water supply networks were laid to the houses, access roads were built, beaches were improved, and berths for yachts and boats were built.

Many Swedish summer cottages are located right next to the water.

On large country estates near the water on the pier there is only a house for yachting or boat accessories.

Swedish dacha in the "torp" style - a cottage of a day laborer-tenant. Day work was legally abolished in Sweden in 1943, but the style of these small, traditional Swedish cottages has taken hold. Now the term "torp" is sometimes used to refer to inexpensive suburban Swedish dachas.

The foundation of a house on a slope, whether it is piled-columnar for the deck or monolithic tape for the main house, is often masked with a decorative wooden lattice.

In general, there is virtually no vinyl siding in Sweden. Houses are finished with either natural painted or unpainted wood, or have plaster facades.

As the needs of the family increase, the Swedes add outbuildings to existing houses or extend the buildings.

An example of a combination of a country house built of two small cottages united winter garden(glazed gallery).

The U-shaped shape of a country house allows you to visually isolate the recreation area from neighboring views: after all, it is not customary to build fences (and even more high fences) in a summer cottage in Sweden.

The most popular is the traditional rural Swedish style of country buildings: long houses with gently sloping pitched roofs, with protruding eaves, built in laconic geometric shapes, with large glazed facades painted with traditional red Falu Red paint combined with white edging.

The interiors of most Swedish country houses are very laconic: white walls and natural wood. Unbleached wood color is typical for buildings from the 1970s and 90s. Since the 2000s, bleached or tinted wood has been in vogue.

Bedrooms in Swedish dachas very rational: 6-8 square meters can accommodate from 2 to 4 people on bunk beds.

Now you can take a look at summer cottages in Norway. Or get to know the life of a horticultural partnership in the heart of Stockholm.

Our old houses, which once faithfully served state institutions, are simply being demolished. In Europe, they are rebuilt into residential ones and sold to everyone. Maybe we should go this way too?

In Stockholm, Sweden, a unique two-story house has been made from a former Salvation Army department building. Currently, this house has been restored and began to be used as a private residence. Moreover, during the renovation, some old elements were preserved, which made it possible to preserve the historicity of this building and a certain color.
The house of 157 square meters is built in the shape of a cross, which is quite unusual in itself. Entering the house, the first thing that catches your eye is a small rug, in vintage style... Then red ones open double doors that lead to the living room and dining room, which previously served as a resting place for Salvation Army personnel.

The living and dining areas are generously sized and well lit. On the wall in a niche, the original emblem of the thirties of the last century has been preserved. A large stove in the middle of the room allows you to conditionally divide it into a living room and a dining room. It turns out that sitting in the living room, you can admire a beautiful fireplace, and sitting at a large wooden old table - a magnificent view from the window. It should be noted that in the dining room it was decided to leave even the old wooden benches, which look very harmonious with the bedside table with candles and firewood standing not far from the table, neatly folded in special niches behind the fireplace. This historic dining room vibe, oddly enough, goes very well with the modern living room, which has modern sofas and a plasma TV on the wall. This is due to the fact that among the modern objects, you can also find elements that preserve history, for example, a woven carpet, an antique lamp and a braided vessel in the corner of the room.

A staircase leads from the living room to the second floor, and under the staircase itself there is a bookcase and a small but very cozy office. The kitchen is made of metal and wood, which complement the bright modern elements such as chairs, and antique ones, such as paintings on the walls or lamps above the dishes.

On the second floor there are bedrooms and guest rooms, which are compact, but each room has its own unique design. For example, the nursery is made in pink tones and is filled with bright elements and colors. In the second bedroom, the highlight was the armchair, and in the third - the lamps. In the bathroom, there was also a place for an echo of history - wooden cabinets, and they perfectly coexist with a modern bright print on the entire wall.
All rooms of this house combine and harmonize history and modernity, so it occupies a worthy place among other design samples on our website.

This section presents projects of Swedish houses and cottages, prices for which vary in the range from 21,000 to 45,000 rubles (with rare exceptions). The low cost is due to the fact that traditional wooden houses in this country they are building according to a technology very similar to the Russian log house building.

Features of Swedish houses

As in all Scandinavian countries, modern country cottages in Sweden are built primarily of wood. Natural wood, subjected to minimal processing, prevails in construction, interior decoration, in furniture production... Some characteristic features of Swedish buildings can be noted.

Houses are simple in shape with wide roofs, under which living and utility rooms are combined. Summer cuisine The bathhouse is often connected to the main house through an enclosed passage.
Log walls are left unfinished, upholstered with a board impregnated with a special compound, or painted with persistent paints.
Windows of a simple form with wooden frames, usually white... There is no finishing (unlike our carving) on them.

The Swedes build log cabins from round logs, the insulation between them fits into the "closed" grooves: the upper log rests tightly on the lower one without a visible gap. In the corners, they are connected in a "hexagon", so the frame looks more neat.

A typical Swedish house resembles a Russian hut from the outside and is very different from the inside. Saving double-glazed windows, underfloor heating, several autonomous systems heating is a familiar set for such a house. The harsh climate and the habit of saving have led to the development of many energy-saving technologies that are widely used in private construction.

Finished projects with working drawings

We implement typical Swedish-style house designs created by our own architectural bureau. Almost all of them have been tested in practice, all the nuances have been taken into account in the design, and all the details have been worked out. The set of attached documentation includes:

description with specification building materials;
building masonry and marking plans;
diagrams and sections of the foundation, roof, facade, individual units;
explication of floors, window and door connectors.

At the request of the customer, it produces an architectural passport required to obtain a building permit. A professionally designed project saves the customer from technical errors and subsequent "alterations", while its price is an insignificant share in the total cost of building a house.

We were going to tell you about the so-called Swedish technology of window insulation, which is gaining more and more fans in our country. But our readers at the presentations always asked to tell briefly about what the “Swedish house” itself is.

Swedish House "

The concept of a "Swedish house" in Russia became a fashionable trend relatively recently, already in the new millennium, having entered into competition with the so-called. "Canadian home".
It should be understood that a newfangled concept can cover different content. At least two:

Frame houses supplied from Swedish factories;
Pre-fabricated houses under construction in Russia using LSTK frame technology.

Let's figure it out.

One of the main advantages of frame technology construction of LSTK are small specific gravity constructions

Country houses from Sweden

For example, country houses from Sweden and their projects are offered at Russian market several construction supplier companies.

Such Swedish houses are supplied to customers in a complete set, so to speak, "turnkey", and this concept implies all the necessary components for comfortable life to the maximum, based on the principle that the acquisition (installation) of a house for a person is a very serious and responsible step, which means that clarity and debugging of each of the stages of its construction is needed.
This house offers:

Dubbed heating system when space heating is carried out using several systems. They can function as a whole or separately.
The entire structure is thermally insulated with high quality to avoid unnecessary heating costs.
A heat pump is supplied, which works in tandem with boilers for different types fuel, as well as electricity.
"Warm floors" are being installed;
Wall radiators are pre-installed;
Air conditioning and heat recovery are in progress;
A fireplace is placed in the central part of the house;
Mobile sewage treatment system with the necessary facilities;
Independent water supply;
Universal power supply system, which implies the ability not to connect to centralized communication networks.

The set, as you can see, is attractive.
But the "goodies" do not end there.

Production time and commissioning

This is also a topical issue - seasonality in the regions of Russia usually presents difficulties with the timing, often housing construction as a result is delayed for more than one year.
As for Swedish houses, here is the whole process of building a house (due to the peculiarities frame technology) it takes several weeks from the application and before it is put into operation, and it does not depend on the geographical location and the time of year.

Free project

By concluding a contract with a customer for construction Swedish house The company usually provides a free housing project.
There are several classes of Swedish houses. Such as ELIT, MASSIV, LUXURY are supplied to Russia - made directly at Swedish factories.

Swedish house in Russian performance

The concept of a Swedish house in Russia is somehow conditional. Such a house nowadays can not only be "brought" directly from Europe. But order to domestic manufacturers. And even build it yourself.

Spread LSTK technology- an abbreviation for the name "Light Steel Thin-walled Structures".
Such structures based on thin steel up to 3 mm thick are used for the construction of fast-building frame buildings.

These structures include profiled sheets and thin-walled galvanized steel profiles.

Although profiled steel sheet today accounts for about 70% of all our lightweight steel structures, the term LSTK has become entrenched in Russia as denoting technologies for the construction of buildings using a galvanized profile.

The emergence of LSTK technology

This technology was developed in the 50s of the 20th century in Canada. The main reason for the emergence of this technology was the need for the construction a large number low-rise houses for the middle class corresponding to the climatic conditions of the country. The LSTK technology quickly acquired a character of mass application, reducing (and completely eliminating in the suburbs and cities) the use of wood frames, due to their high cost, susceptibility to decay and the effects of insects - pests. But the main factor for the development of LSTK was still the possibility of industrial, mass production of steel profiles and the availability of material.

It should be noted that in this moment LSTK technology does not occupy a leading position in the markets of low-rise individual construction in those countries from which this technology is imported to us. Frame construction of houses is developed in North America, Canada, the Scandinavian countries, but so far more houses are built there on the basis of a timber frame.

Application

Lightweight steel thin-walled structures are made of galvanized profiles or perforated profiles (thermal profiles). Guides, rackmounts and jumpers are performed.

To connect cold-bent profiles, use:

bolts (with a diameter of 5-16 mm),
self-tapping screws;
self-drilling self-tapping screws;
pull rivets;
flap mounting dowels;
pneumatic mounting dowels;
bullets;
press connections (Rosette).

Advantages

Among the first advantages of such houses are environmental friendliness, tk. during the construction of a structure based on LSTC, the surrounding landscape, including trees and shrubs, is minimally deteriorated. In addition, if necessary, the possible complete disposal of the house;
Construction speed. The construction time of a building based on LSTK usually does not exceed 4-5 months;
Simplicity and ease of installation. When working, 3-4 workers are enough;
There is no shrinkage of the foundation either at the time of construction or during operation;
Year-round installation;
Lack of heavy equipment during construction;
Seismic resistance. By the way, the construction of houses using LSTK technology has gained considerable popularity in Japan and other countries where seismic activity is high.
Quite low cost of 1 sq. m. In Russia, the market value of 1 sq. m. m of such housing from LSTK approximately ranges from 19-20 thousand rubles.
High heat saving.
The service life of LSTK houses is declared at 70-100 years or more.

I note that for the most part listed advantages refers not so much to LSTK as to frame structures in general.

Immediate advantages of LSTK

Stability and precision geometric dimensions profiles
Compactness for transportation
Factory quality. A set for the construction of a building from LSTK is manufactured at the factory and delivered to the site in the form of a ready-made "house kit" with design documentation for assembly.

disadvantages

There is an opinion that the main disadvantage of this technology is “thin walls”. Many consumers even have the feeling that such a wall can be easily pounded with almost a fist. But this is unfounded, because the materials for the installation of ceilings and cladding are very plastic, and they withstand impacts.
There is also an opinion that a low service life in comparison with buildings made of stone and brick is ensured if a thermal profile from galvanized steel is used for the production of general purpose (Zn< 120 г/кв.м.), this disadvantage is reduced to a minimum if steel with zinc plated at 25 microns (Zn> 350 g / m2).
In Russia, the declared quality of structures does not always correspond to the real one. Often, manufacturers of LSTK underestimate the real quality characteristics of products in pursuit of a lower cost. Typical situations are a decrease in profile thickness, a thinner zinc layer (Zn< 120 г/кв.м.). Это прямо влияет на качество конструкции.
Critical dependence of the customer on the manufacturer. After all, sometimes it turns out that the panel is not quite accurately produced or negligence (the forgotten "screw"), and problems may arise during the installation of the building.
Lack of conclusions on the electromagnetic safety of living in buildings with metal frame, insufficient information on how such buildings react to electromagnetic radiation.
The design and installation of buildings from LSTK should be carried out by highly qualified specialists. The cost of such mistakes can be high.

Basic Swedish House

Each project is based on a basic residential building. The projects differ from each other only in the external environment of this basic house. Therefore, the base usually does not change. But they can change the configuration of his environment.

The foundation is monolithic, 1.5 m deep, reinforced concrete. Such a foundation is 7-8 times more expensive than shallow-buried foam blocks or newly emerged screwed piles. But these "screw" foundations have practically no history of operation in Russia for construction frame houses... Reinforced concrete monolith is a time-tested solution used, by the way, not only for frame houses, but also for brick houses.
Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and nursery

The construction of the Swedish House involves the use of only natural materials.
For external walls - planed board with a width of 145 mm and a thickness of 22 mm. It is beautiful, natural and durable.

The frame of the house is made of timber frames (150 x 50 mm).
Non-shrinking materials are used for thermal insulation basalt slabs Rockwoll with a total thickness of 150 mm. It should be noted that this is more effective than 100 mm of insulation, which is now considered the standard.

The roof is based on IcoPal soft Finnish tiles. Soft bituminous shingles serves for a long time and reliably. She's also beautiful.

Internal wall material - plasterboard on a frame made of metal profiles... Such a project implies that after interior finishing, the house from the inside will look like a business-class apartment. This is true. Details are in the finishing section.

The entire Swedish House is surrounded by a veranda around the perimeter. You can get here not only through the front door in the hallway, but also directly from any room on the ground floor, including the living room and kitchen. This greatly expands the space of the Swedish House, and when the weather permits, the veranda is an extension of the room or living room. In summer, it is especially pleasant to eat outside, or just sit outside. The veranda floor is 100 mm planed timber covered with white Tikkurila antiseptic specially designed for outdoor outdoor floors. The beam is laid on a monolithic concrete strip foundation with a gap that allows you to wash the veranda floor with a hose or pressure washer.

The veranda area is large enough, but we do not take it into account when calculating the area of the house. Pay attention to this when you compare the cost of building a frame Swedish House per sq. meter with other offers on the market for the construction of business class town houses.

The quality of the materials used for the construction of frame houses and business class townhouses guarantees that you do not have to do outdoor or indoor redecorating such a Swedish house in 3-4 years.

Swedish window insulation technology

Window insulation using Swedish technology is also becoming more and more popular.

With winter approaching, the issue of apartment insulation becomes more and more important. In city apartments, there are mainly doors, and whoever has money and who considers it expedient also has balconies. Thinking about the insulation of windows, people ask themselves questions - what is the best way to insulate them? How to do it? Do it yourself or invite specialists? Of course, the answers to these questions depend mainly on the availability of funds that can be allocated for insulation. And lately, people are increasingly using the services of specialized firms to make window frames warm. And many of the modern companies are actively promoting the so-called "Swedish technology" of window insulation on the market. What is it and what is the essence of this technology? Is it worth using it or is it better to do with the old, old-fashioned ways to insulate? Let's figure it out.

Small digression

If you came to our site on the request "houses with Swedish technology", I suggest you watch (your choice) two small videos.

The first is dedicated to real Swedish houses, their beauty and comfort - that is, in a couple of minutes you can just see them as they really are in your native Sweden:

The second video was filmed by manufacturers of the so-called "Swedish houses" in Russia and will be of interest to those who would like to learn more about this technology:

Swedish technology for insulating window frames

She came to Russia about 15 years ago, as the name implies, from cold Sweden, where residents are also concerned about the problem of keeping warm in their homes during the cold season. According to the technology of the Swedes, only wooden windows were insulated, but over time they began to insulate plastic ones (although this is done much less often than with wooden ones - plastic ones seem to be warm a priori).

What is the essence of the process?

The work begins with the removal of the wooden frames and taking them to the staircase - the craftsmen do not work in the apartment, it is convenient, because there is no such dirt as after installing new double-glazed windows, for example. In the frames, grooves are cut out on all sides - grooves. A professional tubular sealant is inserted into it.

The seal is placed in special grooves - grooves

Firms engaged in insulation using Swedish technology claim that this seal can withstand temperatures from -50 to + 80 (by the way, when insulating windows, it is assumed that the owner of the room does not want to let the cold into his house. plus temperatures (80 degrees) are 30 degrees higher than minus temperatures (50 in total) - a mystery). Such professional heaters from Sweden should supposedly last 10-15 years, in contrast to the usual ones, which last a couple of years.

Heaters from Sweden have 5 different sizes - depending on the size of the gap, the right one is selected. Usually, window insulation using Swedish technology also includes complex carpentry repairs, i.e. craftsmen repair window locks so that they close without problems, align the geometry of the frame (it is monitored so that they close smoothly, do not catch on anything, do not jam. Such work should be done BEFORE cutting grooves and installing insulation). For an additional fee, high-quality painting of frames, replacement of drainage and even glass is offered.

For an additional fee, specialists can replace glass in your windows, make drainage systems and paint frames

Together with heat insulation according to Swedish technology, you can ask for the service "double-glazed window effect" - this is additional sealing at the joints of the frame and glass. These cracks are filled with silicone sealant. The glasses are securely fixed and will no longer have free vibration, which means that the level of noise penetrating into the apartment will significantly decrease.

Please note that quality work insulating windows using Swedish technology excludes the use of glue and nails for attaching the tubular seal, it must be pressed into the grooves - otherwise, after a few years, the glue will come off, and the staples may rust.

After all the work is done - mandatory and additional, the frames are returned to their place, installed and delight their owners with the saved heat.

It is better not to delay with window insulation until the cold autumn.

It is better to carry out insulation before the beginning of the heating season, when it is still warm outside. If, nevertheless, it is necessary to insulate when autumn winds and rains knock on the window - not a problem, experts will cover the window opening with a special tarpaulin that will not let the cold out from the street - so that after the work is completed, the apartment will have room temperature, not outside temperature.

Price

She is primarily interested in - is it worth it? Isn't it better to buy a new glass unit? If you have wooden windows in good condition, not rotten (in this case, a plastic bag is definitely better), then insulation using Swedish technology will cost less than buying new windows. Depending on the size, the price of insulating a double-leaf window will be 2500-3200 rubles, three-leaf - 3500-4600 rubles, balcony door- 2200-2500 rubles, doors and windows overlooking the balcony, i.e. in general - 3700-4000 rubles. Do not forget that the cost of the main work is also added to this amount. There is also a price list for additional work, but not everyone uses them.

The result of work

What do we get in the end, after warming according to Swedish technology?

Calculate, decide, weigh the pros and cons, and let you be warm!

You can clearly see the process in the video:

Russia is a rather cold country, especially in winter, so you need to build a house in accordance with climatic conditions.

Swedish technology is the best suited for this, since it is energy-saving. In addition, when building a house, initially, its cost includes interior decoration, which allows you to simply move in and live at the end of construction.

House project according to Swedish construction technology

This option is very beneficial because no additional costs are required:

for the installation of plumbing;
wallpapering or painting walls;
finishing of ceilings and floors.

All electrical work, installation of sockets, switches, interior lighting are done during the construction of the house. Even tiles and laminates are stacked during construction.

Such a house is being built quickly enough.

First, the supporting frame is installed, then the floors and rafters are laid. The material for it is a very light thin-walled thermal profile, which is made of high-strength galvanized steel. The question may arise why steel has not been used in construction before. The answer is very simple - with a solid frame, areas that accumulate cold are formed, and condensation is released, as a result of which the entire structure undergoes gradual destruction. But this applies to solid profiles.

A sample of the load-bearing metal frame of the house

For exterior walls in Swedish frame house use steel thermoprofiles, the cross-section of which is minimal, and in order to increase the heat flux, through grooves are cut out in them, arranged in a checkerboard pattern.

Despite the fact that it is possible to build a house using this technology quite quickly, however, it is more difficult to do than to raise a Canadian modular house or assemble a panel structure from laminated veneer lumber.

The fact is that the frame frames are assembled at the construction site, and have dimensions that do not allow them to be transported.

For the outer walls, the boards are planed by hand, primed, then a two-layer painting is done and only after that they are attached to the frame with screws. The base of the roof is OSB-3, on which soft metal tiles are attached.

As for the construction of the foundation, it is usually made monolithic. To strengthen the frame, a permanent formwork is put on it, which is filled with foam concrete or, to reduce the cost, with thermal flock. None of these materials shrink, do not lose their properties over time, and are environmentally friendly.

The thermal conductivity of the frame made of thermoprofile is 20% lower than that of wooden counterparts, due to which the house receives increased energy savings. The assembly of such a structure can be carried out at any time of the year, even in winter.

Benefits of a Swedish house

Building frame houses using frames began more than 100 years ago in Sweden. They were built in fishing villages. Today all projects of Swedish houses have been calculated on computers and improved. Monolithic strip or slab foundation gives additional strength to these buildings.

How the Swedish house is arranged

While the steel frame is being manufactured at the plant, the foundation is already being poured on the site, and by the time all the elements are delivered, the foundation will be completely ready. There is absolutely no need to travel to Sweden to buy such a house. It can be ordered from a Swedish-style housing company.

House frame

Since the frame is very light, the load of the entire structure does not exceed 117 kg / m2 of the foundation, which means that the foundation should not be very powerful, that is, you can save enough on this.
