Houses made of metal frame lstk. Technology for constructing a frame house from metal profiles

Frame houses have confidently occupied a niche in private housing construction. Traditionally, the frame for them was made of wood, but modern technologies Now they allow you to quickly assemble frame houses made of metal profiles. Before you begin construction with your own hands, you need to familiarize yourself with this construction method in more detail.

Is it worth choosing?

During construction own home Many questions always arise. For myself I want to build the best, warmest and reliable home, so the main question is: is there any experience in using such technology, is it trustworthy?

Metal frame house going from individual elements, which are delivered to the construction site in disassembled form with subsequent installation

Frame houses made of metal profiles are simplified miniature versions of skyscrapers and large long-span buildings. The difference is that in the construction of large buildings, massive rolled steel (channels and I-beams) are used, while houses made of metal profiles require the use of lightweight thin-walled elements (LSTK). The raw material used is the same – steel. But the thickness, dimensions and load-bearing capacity of the products differ.

The use of large rolled metal for DIY construction is not economically profitable because:

• the cost of wall and ceiling elements increases significantly;
• a large mass of parts leads to an increase in the load on the foundation and an increase in the cost of the structure;
• the loads during the construction of private residential buildings are negligible compared to the loads in large industrial and commercial buildings, so there is no point in using powerful beams and racks.

Therefore, we can say with confidence that the technology is time-tested. To the benefits metal frame include:

• high strength of the material;
• low weight allows maximum savings on foundations;
• resistance to rotting and damage by fungus and mold;
• high installation accuracy;
• cheaper transportation;
• absence of garbage and waste at the construction site4
• the possibility of building houses with large spans and an open layout.

The disadvantages include:

• susceptibility to corrosion (rust);
• high thermal conductivity (transmits heat);
• reduction of evacuation time from the building in case of fire (loss of rigidity at high temperatures);
• difficulty in securing hanging interior elements and furniture;
• the need for potential equalization due to high electrical conductivity;
• limited construction area (not suitable for massive elements).

Despite all the shortcomings, it is necessary to take into account that the speed of construction of the structure is quite high, and the simplicity of the work allows you to do the construction yourself.

Construction technology

When doing work with your own hands, it is important to proceed in stages. Consideration of the issue begins with the development of design documentation.

Project stage

All frame structures are manufactured in one factory according to pre-ordered dimensions. Even if execution is planned construction work do it yourself, when designing you will need the help of a specialist. Here the future owner has three options that differ in cost:

• choose from ready-made projects and order from the factory all the elements necessary for assembly (the cheapest);
• select a ready-made project and make minor changes to it (optimal);
• order the development of an individual project (the most expensive).

Usually the project includes the following composition:

• floor plans, roofing;
• building facades;
• 3-D model of the house (not always);
• necessary drawings and components for frame elements.

You can do without the help of specialists and develop a project yourself based on standard metal frame elements, but this is a difficult task.

Construction of the foundation

When constructing any facility, work begins with the foundations. The choice of support type is made based on the geological data of the site. In most cases for easy frame house optimal choice for construction with your own hands will be: shallow strip foundation, pile-grillage foundation.

The first type allows you to install on foundations 1-2 storey houses from light materials with good characteristics soil. The second option is suitable for heaving soils with not very good strength characteristics.

Frame assembly

From the factory, frame parts made from light steel frames arrive numbered and separately packaged. This greatly simplifies the DIY assembly process. The kit includes:

• vertical and horizontal frame profiles with the necessary openings for utilities;
• set of fastenings.

The parts come in the required length, there is no need to cut or adjust anything. The DIY assembly process is reminiscent of the children's designer. You just need to use the manufacturer’s instructions, install the profiles in the designed position and secure them with the suggested ones. connecting elements. At this stage, difficulties should not arise if you follow the instructions and carefully check the labeling of the elements.

Important! To make the frame, it is recommended to choose a Z-shaped profile with grooves or perforations. Such an element, although made of “cold” material, allows heat to be retained. The second name for such an element is thermal profile. This is the most desirable option for private residential housing construction.

Insulation and enclosing structures

The final stage of assembling the building box will be the cladding of the frame. The work here is carried out using the same technology as for wooden frame houses. Covering options:

1. Assembling structures with your own hands. The outer side of the metal frame is sheathed with corrugated sheets or glass-magnesium sheets, and insulation is laid between the racks. Mineral wool or extruded polystyrene foam can be used as thermal insulation. If your budget is limited, you can consider a cheaper option - polystyrene foam. When using foam or mineral wool it will be necessary to install a vapor barrier with inside and waterproofing from the outside. The inside sheathing can be done with plasterboard. The outer finish is fixed to a profiled sheet.
2. Sandwich panels. They are made at the factory, where they can be painted in the desired color. Simplify and speed up the assembly process. The advantages include: resistance to aggressive environmental influences, high temperatures and fire, high thermal insulation characteristics, environmental friendliness and safety for humans. Another advantage is that the panels simultaneously act as insulation and exterior finishing, reducing work costs.
3. Heat blocks. Modern material, which is a “brick” that includes a layer of porous expanded clay concrete, a layer of expanded polystyrene (foam) grade 25 and a facing layer of expanded clay concrete. The cladding is made of high-density material and is ready for painting. The advantage of the technology is the simultaneous creation of thermal protection and enclosing structure. Masonry joints are accepted to be no more than 5 mm. Conventional masonry mortar for bricks cannot meet this requirement, so special mortars or glue are used. Reinforcement is required every 4 rows of blocks to increase strength.

The cost of building a turnkey house from light steel thin-walled structures includes a budget for the frame, a set of finishing and other materials, as well as a fee for installation work. This technology is characterized by short implementation times, as well as a favorable price for finished projects.

A residential building using LSTK technology is built according to the following principle:

1. Design.
2. Laying the foundation.
3. Assembly and installation of wall panels.
4. Assembly and installation of roof trusses.
5. Roofing.
6. Arrangement of communications.
7. Interior and exterior finishing works.

At the design stage, the main attention is paid to calculating the rigidity and strength of the supporting frame. The foundation for a lightweight LSTC building can be absolutely anything. Wall panels and roofing trusses are assembled from ready-made perforated profiles manufactured in production from galvanized steel. Used to cover roofs traditional materials- corrugated sheeting, metal tiles, etc.

The basis of the wall pie is insulation. From the outside it is covered with wind protection and facade cladding, from the inside - with a vapor barrier, plasterboard and finishing.

Benefits of LSTK technology

By giving preference to LSTK technology in housing construction, the user receives the following benefits:

• low cost of materials;
• compressed construction lines;
• maximum profitable price when ordering turnkey construction;
• flexibility in choosing and individually finalizing projects;
• can be built in any season;
• The house has been in service for more than 70 years without renovation.

In addition, it is also worth noting the resistance of the galvanized metal frame to corrosion, fire, gusts of wind and seismic loads.

A classic frame house means a structure based on a frame made of wooden elements, but there is also metal frame. Let's look at what the difference is and which one is better to choose for building your own home.

On this moment most advanced technology are houses made of LSTK ( Lightweight Steel Thin Wall Structures).
The frame of such houses is made from of stainless steel with a wall thickness of no more than 3 mm. However, such a profile is bent into certain structures (channels, I-beams, etc.), which gives it additional strength.

Metal frame made of LSTK based on aluminum or steel. Metallic profile in wall frames it has a thickness of 0.7 to 2 mm. and is connected to each other using self-tapping screws or rivets. Installation is carried out without using welding work.

• This profile is not afraid of moisture and can last for a very long time.
• It is also not susceptible to rotting, aging, or shrinkage.
• Thanks to the perforation system, it was possible to practically get rid of “cold bridges”.

It is as easy to assemble as a wooden one (you can do it yourself). Although for cutting you will need metal cutting tools. However, the profiles are attached to each other quite simply (as simply as a profile for gypsum plasterboard), using ordinary metal screws. By the way, this profile already has places for attaching bolts, which makes assembly much easier.

As you can see, LSTC is a rather tempting technology.
When correct assembled house it can stand for a very, very long time.

Metal frame construction has a lot of advantages, the most significant of which is the simplicity and speed of installation. All frame elements are already prepared for assembly, so their installation can be carried out without the help of construction crews. A wooden frame is more complex in this regard, and its installation must be done more meticulously.

The metal frame is most popular in Canada, Australia and Sweden, although in Russia you can also find houses of this type of construction.

Wooden frame for home

What can be said about a wooden frame? This classic version construction, the most widespread in the world. Almost 80% of frames are based on a wooden frame, and only a small part of the metal frame.

The basis wooden frame- wood coniferous species, and as you know, construction from wood has been going on for centuries, and only improves over time. Yes and frame option Tree houses today tightly occupy their niche in country cottage construction. Its advantages: high speed of installation, the ability to move into the house immediately after completion of construction work, and high energy efficiency.

There is a lot of forest in Russia, which means it is simply necessary to develop wooden frame housing construction!

When choosing a metal or wooden frame, pay attention to the following points.

1. Wood is susceptible to rotting - METAL does not rot!
2. The tree can be attacked by rodents - Rodents are not afraid of METAL!
3. Wood is sometimes difficult to adjust to size to the nearest millimeter - METAL - please!
4. A metal frame will last longer than a wooden one!

When choosing this or that material for the frame, it is also necessary to take into account the experience of people living in such houses.
By reading reviews, you can understand how good a metal or wooden frame is in terms of operation.
After all, building a house is half the battle, but living in it is life!

Advantages of houses made of metal structures

Prefabricated technology involves the construction of residential buildings based on a metal frame, which is sheathed on top with sandwich panels with various types insulating fillers. The finished design has many advantages.

Attractive appearance. Diversity color coatings and profile options of sandwich panels can make the building not only beautiful, but also original. In addition, this technology allows you to create almost any shape.

Versatility. Houses based on metal structures can be built on plots with any topography and soil type. They are suitable even for areas with extreme natural and weather conditions (Far North, seismically active regions, etc.).

Excellent performance characteristics. Peculiarities wall material provide the building with high levels of heat and sound insulation. In addition, such houses are fireproof, resistant to moisture, fungi and mold.

Durability. Buildings based on a metal frame are only slightly inferior to permanent buildings in terms of service life. If the construction was carried out with high quality, such houses can last for decades, maintaining their original properties.

Low cost. Construction of buildings and structures in Moscow using this technology is several times cheaper than construction using other materials. This is due to the lack of need for a complex foundation and finishing, as well as the availability of material and ease of installation.

Prices for houses made of metal structures

The cost of a residential building made of metal structures is determined by its key parameters and special wishes of the customer. When making calculations, specialists take into account architectural features, area, number of floors, layout, materials used, equipment, finishing and much more.
