Houses made of glued laminated timber with an attic. Attic rooms are the brightest

The attic in a wooden house has always been one of the most attractive elements. It is no coincidence that a large number of projects involve its construction and subsequent arrangement for living or recreation. The Wood House company offers to combine the comfort of an attic with the high quality of a house built of glued beams.

Benefits of using an attic

The attic room, as a rule, occupies the entire upper floor or attic. Initially, it was used because of the need to search for new living or working premises, but over time, its other undeniable advantages were discovered:

windows in mansard roof let in a large amount of light due to their location;
overall aesthetic appeal of the building;
unusual space allows you to create interesting and original interiors;
thanks to the large amount of light, the attic can be successfully used as an office or workshop.

The main problem has always been the insulation of the attic. We tried to fix it by using glued beams in the construction. Due to its dense structure (boards glued together into a solid monolith), such material retains heat well inside and does not allow cold to penetrate from the outside. In addition, glued laminated timber is additionally treated with special protective compounds during production, which significantly extends its service life.

You can choose your favorite project of a house made of glued laminated timber with an attic on our website or order a building according to your own project. We will carefully work it out and perform the work with the proper quality and attention. You can clarify all the information you need regarding the order by calling the phone number listed on the site.

built country house on frame technology plus a small veranda. The cost came out quite economically, and in terms of 3 and a half months. Finished even a couple of weeks earlier than promised. We go to the country house only in the summer, so I can’t say anything about thermal insulation. Thanks

Thank you so much for building a house of aerated concrete. The quality of both material and work is excellent - FRIENDS ENVY. The terms of the work performed - in about 4.5 months a house was built from scratch. Good luck to all of you good clients and big houses!!

They built a house for us in 3 months (they started the foundation at the end of summer, and finished the walls and interior decoration in the fall), it turned out not cheap, but everything was thought out, our participation was minimal. This year we are building a bathhouse with them! Thank you for such professional guys that you provided us!

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication! Everything is prompt, high-quality, fast! Thanks to the team led by Alexei!

The company built me a great summer house! I have no complaints about the company, next summer I am going to build a bathhouse and a garage, I will definitely contact them. Thanks to everyone, especially Sergey's team, which built for me, a lot depends on them!

We built a house of aerated concrete in your company - very satisfied. A house was built on our pre-prepared foundation in 45 days. And as a gift received home insurance for a year. So I recommend.

In August 2017, I ordered a foundation (monolithic slab) for a house in the Leningrad region. In 2018, I already ordered the house itself. I can recommend, because were satisfied with the result. Everything was done quickly and professionally.

We ordered a house and a garage in this company in the summer of 2016. The builders worked for about 4 months without a break (they liked it very much). Everything was done according to the contract, no extra money was asked.

Frequently asked questions before construction

About company

Yes, there are objects that we can show at different stages of work and houses that have already been handed over by prior arrangement.

about the project

Buy a standard project or order an individual one?

Buy a finished project.

The plus is the price.
Minus - it will not provide for all your wishes regarding materials and layouts. Also, it will require refinement for the features of your site.

Buy a finished project and modify it.

It all depends on the changes you want to make. It is possible that it will be more profitable for you to develop an individual project than to modify a typical one.

The cost of such improvements should be discussed at the meeting.

Development of an individual house project.

Pros: all your wishes regarding all the characteristics of the house and the site are taken into account.
Minus - the cost of such a project is higher than a typical one.

BUT! You can develop an individual project for free. If our company builds, then the development of an individual project is free of charge for you.

How is the development of an individual project?

The development of an individual project begins with the signing of the contract and the first meeting with the architects, at which the client voices his wishes. As a result of the meeting, a design task is drawn up, which is an annex to the contract.
Architects prepare several versions of sketches and decide with the client in which direction to move on. During the entire design period, several meetings with the client take place, at which all architectural and design solutions are worked out in detail until the client is satisfied with everything, which he confirms with a signature on the Draft Design.
Next, a Working Draft is being developed. This is the calculation stage of each design solution, in which the client is not involved.
This whole process takes from 2 weeks to 2 months, after which the client receives a finished project with ready-made detailed calculations, which is necessary when applying for a building permit.

About construction

Will you travel to the site where the construction is planned?

Yes. When inspecting the site, we take into account the dimensions, the entrance from the road and its width, the proximity of neighbors' buildings, the presence of a slope or difference, cardinal points and what kind of soil is on the site.

Do you help with the selection of a building site?

Yes. Our experts help with site selection. They will help you find it according to your requirements on the Internet with ads.

What affects the final price of a home?

The cost of building a house is affected by:

site features: relief, conditions of entry, location
materials used in construction
house architecture features
conditions for the production of work (limitations on work time)

What guarantees do you give?

We give a guarantee of 3 years for our work. The warranty is given by the manufacturer and it is different in each case. There are materials for which the manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty.

How can I control construction?

We send each client a step-by-step photo report of the work.
We install online video surveillance of the object 24 hours a day, you and the company's specialists have access to it (paid service).
You can also use the services of companies that carry out technical control.
The construction is being delivered in stages, you always see which stage and only after accepting one, we proceed to the next.

When is the contract signed?

The design contract is signed at the meeting, before the first communication with the architect.
The construction contract is signed after the development and approval of the estimate.

When do I have to pay for your work?

For design, an advance payment must be made within 5 days after signing the contract in the amount of 70% of the total amount. The balance is paid when the finished project is handed over to the client.

Payment for construction is broken down according to the stages that are specified in the estimate. Each stage of construction is also divided into payments, the amount of which may be different (usually this is due to the need to purchase materials)

How are builders placed?

It will be convenient if you have the opportunity to place builders next to the construction site, suitable garden house, construction trailer, old house or any other building with a roof.
If there is nothing like that, then we are ready to bring our change house for FREE.
In extreme cases, we will place our builders in a nearby hostel

What communications are needed to start construction: electricity, water?

Electricity with a capacity of at least 5 kW and industrial water.

If not, we will bring our generators for FREE. Water in most cases wooden construction used only for domestic needs, we will provide its delivery on our own.

What time of year do you build?

We build all year round, one of the important conditions in the spring-autumn period is a suitable road for vehicle access.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?
	We will help you save money by correctly calculating the estimate and choosing high-quality materials.
	Perform high-quality design documentation, thanks to which you can not worry about the design decisions made.

Houses made of timber are good because they are cheaper, absolutely environmentally friendly, over time they do not crack, as, for example, in houses made of logs, they are quite functional. So, if you add an attic to the standard design, you can get an additional living room, playroom or office. At the same time, the size of the house can be very different. But it is necessary to think over everything at the design stage.

Advantages of a 6x6 timber house with an attic

Houses made of timber with parameters 6x6 are an excellent solution for suburban area where the building area is usually limited. Such a house is compact, small-sized, but it can easily accommodate all the necessary premises for a comfortable summer holiday. With a one-story structure, the space under the roof can be equipped with an attic, which would act as a bedroom. But it starts with design. The simplest plan is below.

With a built-up area of 36 m 2 of living space, 40-46 m 2 is obtained. For walls and partitions, a profiled beam 100x150 mm is used, but 150x150 mm can also be taken. Flax jute fabric serves as a heater. The roof is gable or hipped. In this project, the attic room is designed for one bedroom, so the roof can be gable.

Result: neat small, environmentally friendly wooden house. But this project does not provide for a bathroom, utility rooms and can only be equipped with a single-flight staircase. But it has a very spacious bedroom - 24 m 2.

More complex project houses 6x6, with a bathroom, a hall and two bedrooms on attic floor may look like this.

Such a house is more functional, but requires more serious engineering and technical developments: supplying water supply, sewerage, good ventilation system and warming. It is better to make the roof mansard, then the second floor will save more space and light. Cobbled houses of this type are well suited for summer cottages, where the family spends most of the summer time. They look simple, but at the same time elegant and modern.

Plans of houses from a bar 6x8 with an attic

Cobbled houses measuring 6x8 also have a completely different layout. Depending on the number of family members and the requirements for the future building, projects of houses from a bar with an attic can be quite ergonomic and simple, as in the project below.

To save space, it is recommended to combine all additional zones in one technical room. So in the bathroom you can install a boiler room. The locker room and dressing room are combined in the hall adjacent directly to the entrance. If both rooms are made small - 2.55 m, then there will be enough space for a small terrace.

On the first floor are located spacious kitchen where you can equip a dining room, living room. The attic is a large bedroom. The advantage of the house is a simple layout, the project itself is easily implemented within a few months. Both profiled and glued beams are used as the main material. The first is superior technical specifications. It is stronger, more durable and easier to work with.

The second type of project is a bit more complicated. Photo next.

Such a layout will be a good solution for a family with children or for those who are always happy to have guests. The bedroom on the ground floor can be easily converted into a guest room. And if one of the bedrooms in the attic is not useful, it can be converted into gym, billiard room, game room or office.

If you supply the house with all the necessary engineering and technical elements, it will be suitable for operation in all seasons. The configuration of windows, roofs and the location of the central entrance can be selected individually.

If desired, the attic floor is complemented by a spectacular balcony, which gives more space, light and clean air. In the warm season, such a balcony will be a good place for secluded relaxation. On the ground floor there is a small terrace, where you can also enjoy your time.

Advantage: cobbled houses do not require special foundation costs. With dimensions of 6x8, columnar or screw types are suitable, which are quickly mounted, but fully withstand the load.

House with parameters 7x8 and an attic

Building 7x8 from timber will cost almost half as much as brick or stone. The project below provides for a small vestibule, a kitchen-dining room of sufficient size and a living room on the ground floor. The attic is represented by two bedrooms and a large hall.

For the construction, a profiled timber 100x150 mm is used for strapping and 140x90 mm for the construction of walls. Edged boards 25 mm are suitable for the subfloor, 36 mm tongue and groove boards are suitable for finishing. The foundation is pile or screw. The roof can be made onduline. Total, at minimal cost, it turns out very beautiful, durable Vacation home. And the money saved will be useful for finishing work.

Models of houses with a central entrance look interesting, which can be decorated very interestingly at the final stage. The project of such a house is as follows.

An example of a 7x8 house made of profiled timber with an attic floor and a balcony.

The project of a 9x9 cobbled house with an attic

Houses of this type are designed depending on their intended purpose. It can be spacious country cottage, a house for permanent residence or a beautiful summer cottage where you can relax with a big company. The purpose of the building will determine the number of rooms, their location, the presence of additional technical premises (boiler room, sauna, boiler room, bathroom, terrace, balconies, etc.).

The layout of the most unpretentious building.

The house has two spacious rooms on the ground floor and one on the attic floor. As well as a terrace and a balcony. This model does not provide for any additional premises, so it is often chosen for the construction of simple summer cottages, without a kitchen and any engineering systems.

Everything is built quite quickly (2-3 months) and at minimal cost. The result is a very attractive building with a living area of 77.4 m 2 .

A more expensive project with a kitchen, a utility room, bathrooms, an office and 4 rooms, which are arranged at the discretion of the owners, looks like this:

In the end, the log house will look something like this. color scheme exterior finish you can choose based on your own preferences.

The nuances of the construction of cobbled houses

At the planning stage of the future home, in parallel with the virtual placement of all rooms, the materials for the implementation of the project are also determined.

What beam to use. Planed - the most cheap material but the quality is also low. Profiled - easy to use, creates a solid structure without cracks, does not dry out over time, is in the middle price position. Glued - expensive, but the most durable and not subject to deformation building material made of wood, usually coniferous.
Foundation. For houses 6x6, 6x8 and 7x8, you can make a screw or columnar, but for sizes 9x9 it is better to put a tape
Roof. It is best to use ondulin or roofing felt. And to make a reliable layer of sound insulation, no matter what material the roof is made of, wind or rain without a sound-absorbing layer will interfere with a good rest.
If the house will be used in the cold season, it is worth laying high-quality thermal insulation. Waterproofing is mandatory in any case, as wood is hygroscopic.
When creating a project, it is necessary to take into account how many people and what ages will live in the house. Elderly people need a bedroom on the first floor. Small children should sleep closer to mom and dad, but teenagers need personal space away from their parents, and this is where the attic comes in handy.
The timber is not the most fireproof material, so it must first be treated with special refractory solutions.

Why do you need a house plan at all? Without it, it will not only be impossible to control the correctness of construction, the consumption of materials and compliance with the architectural design, if necessary, the house cannot be sold without project documentation, since it is actually illegal.

Projects of houses from glued laminated timber with an attic are the most popular offers from the GOOD WOOD catalog. The main advantages of such housing:

lower price for square meter;
the most efficient use of space;
rooms with a non-standard sloping ceiling surface;
can be installed skylights;
unusual room design.

High-quality insulation of the attic of the cottage and the house made of glued laminated timber allows you to use the rooms as residential - the rooms upstairs differ from the usual ones only in the slope of the ceiling, so the owners get a full-fledged second floor with unusual design rooms. In the article we will tell you why an attic in a house made of glued laminated timber is convenient, we will show examples of the correct use of a floor with a sloping ceiling.

Attic rooms are the brightest

Windows in two-storey houses with a loft made of glued laminated timber of the "" series occupy the entire wall, but if you add a window in the roof, then there will be natural light at any time of the day. The design is ideal for a nursery, library, bathroom, bedroom.

The attic is the perfect place for an office

The second floor is always quieter than the first. There are no walk-through rooms, kitchens, front door- you can work quietly or read in silence. An additional advantage is that the cabinet does not require a large width. Three meters is enough to install a sofa, wardrobe, desktop. In the attic, the office can be placed both along and across the slope of the roof - the main thing is to arrange the furniture correctly.

Cozy bedrooms with a balcony

The ceiling in the bedroom should not be high, so the most comfortable bedrooms are obtained in the attic. The window next to the bed, the sloping ceiling, the smell of wood - ideal conditions for sleep.

Spacious bathrooms

A bathroom is an obligatory part of the house with bedrooms on the second floor. In the attic in the bathrooms often appear additional windows, and the space visually increases due to the area under the sloping part of the roof.

Proper layout of utility rooms

Cabinets are located on the sides - such a layout “eats up” a minimum of space and allows you to discreetly fold a huge amount of things. At points with a ceiling height of more than two meters, you can place an ironing board, a wardrobe on a coat hanger. So in a narrow space you get a comfortable and roomy dressing room.

Best place for kids

Children like the rooms on the second floor - it has its own atmosphere, an unusual shape of the ceiling, additional adventures in the form of a staircase, a balcony. And if there is a pantry, a library, a gym and a second light upstairs, then the attic turns into a whole world for children.

Why houses made of glued laminated timber with an attic are considered the most convenient

In most projects, the attic floor is used as a zone of private rooms, but here you can also equip a gym, an office, a playroom for children, a comfortable bathroom, a dressing room, and a pantry. If you correctly approach the layout, then the first floor is freed - 1-2 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a boiler room remain below.

Do you want to know if an attic project is right for you? Seeing the second floor with a sloping ceiling with your own eyes is better than looking at pictures. GOOD WOOD has special ones in which you can see ready-made design options.

Wood has been used as a material for building a house for several hundred years and has proven itself well. Despite the development of technology, wooden houses are not inferior in their parameters to other types, for example, buildings made of foam concrete or SIP panels, and in some cases they are significantly superior.

The house with an attic has a presentable and stylish appearance. Such a house will always attract attention, and the main material - timber will add its own zest. But such a building performs not only aesthetic functions, but also practical ones. Thanks to the arrangement of the attic, you can significantly increase the usable area of \u200b\u200bthe house. The only minus of the attic is that due to its proximity to environment it will need to be further insulated.

Wood is a natural material, which means it is environmentally friendly and safe. Wood perfectly retains heat indoors and at the same time does not let cold air through. Thanks to this, a microclimate comfortable for life is maintained in the house, there is good air circulation. Also, this factor provides warmth in the house during the cold winter and a slight coolness in the summer.

When it comes to building wooden house From the side of material costs, there are also some advantages here.

Advantages and disadvantages

Building from timber will come out cheaper than, for example, from brick, since wood has less weight. And this suggests that the cost of manufacturing the foundation will be reduced. In this case, a very strong mortar of concrete or cement is not required, and there is no need to in large numbers.

A house made of timber with an attic at a cost will come out much cheaper than a full-fledged two-story building. Indeed, in fact, the attic is an attic space, but equipped as a living room. Thus, the amount of building materials is reduced, and hence the costs.

Such houses initially have an attractive appearance, so no additional decoration facade, which also significantly reduces costs. The building material itself is also low cost.

With a large number of advantages, there are also disadvantages of timber houses. First of all, it is worth remembering that the tree is exposed to moisture, which means that it is necessary to do reliable waterproofing, treat wood with antiseptics. When buying material, it is important to find out whether the timber has dried out enough and how it was dried. It also needs to be treated for insects. There are some other advantages:

there are no great difficulties in the care during operation;
a wooden house can not only be assembled, but also disassembled if necessary;
savings on heating;
long service life.

Wooden houses have poor fire protection, so it is recommended to think carefully fire fighting system, carry out high-quality insulation of electrical wiring. Also, do not neglect the processing of wood with fire retardants.

If the facade cladding is not required, then the interior design of the walls is still necessary. And this can be difficult, as some facing materials will not hold securely, for example, tiles. This factor is due to the fact that wood "breathes", which means that its density can change.

It is also worth noting the fact that a house made of timber is subject to complete shrinkage for about three years (this parameter depends on the type of wood).

Construction features

Before starting construction, it is necessary to determine the size of the house, where and how various communications will take place, electrical wiring, ventilation system and fire safety, located windows and doors. Provide for the presence of a terrace or veranda, garage, basement and other auxiliary premises. It is necessary to draw up a general drawing and after that proceed with the construction of a house with an attic. Types of timber:

whole;
profiled;
glued.

It is better to use timber for building a house than rounded logs, because the latter simply creates an imitation of antique, and the timber gives the house modern style. Solid timber is not subjected to additional processing, due to which it can be found in any hardware store. This type is characterized by low cost and high construction speed. There is no need to attract a large number of specialists or equipment, installation work is carried out easily and quickly.

A solid beam is a log with a rectangular section, which is obtained by planing from four sides. But a solid, non-profiled beam does not comply with GOSTs, as a result of which differences in the placement of crowns may form due to the unevenness of the saw cut and the size of the cross section. This type of timber needs special treatment from fungus, mold and insects.

Unlike a solid beam, the profiled version is processed and takes the form of a bowl with spikes. This form provides a snug fit of logs without gaps, and the design has a higher reliability. This ensures that moisture does not get inside the building and heat is retained. The surface of the profiled timber is even and smooth, no additional design of the facade is required.

Building a house from profiled timber requires breaks so that the material has time to dry. After the end of all installation work, you should start interior decoration not earlier than 10 months later.

The construction of glued laminated timber consists of 2-5 lamellas of a certain shape, glued together. Before gluing, the raw materials must be dried. Glued cedar timber is the highest quality and durable material, it has good thermal insulation and is slightly affected by the external environment. Also this species timber can be made from larch and pine.

Glued laminated timber has a rather high price, but it is justified by its excellent properties. Since glue is included in its design, such a beam is less environmentally friendly compared to solid or profiled materials.

The main differences between materials:

a structure made of non-profiled timber needs external finishing of the facade, since its appearance is far from ideal;
the only type of timber material that is not subject to cracking is glued timber;
profiled and glued laminated timber undergo minimal shrinkage, unlike solid timber.

The construction of a house from a bar with an attic is divided into the following stages:

foundation installation;
erection of walls and ceilings from timber;
roof installation;
roof and wall insulation.

For a wooden house with an attic, there is no need for a strong and solid foundation, the main thing is to take into account the load of both the first floor and the attic. In this regard, metal piles or a strip foundation are used as a support for a house made of timber. After the foundation is made, the construction of the walls begins. IN this process the most important thing is to lay the first crown correctly and beautifully, the quality and reliability of the entire building depends on it. In the joints between the bars, you must immediately put a heater. This is due to the fact that the tree can deform over time, and gaps are formed that can reduce thermal insulation.

Further, after the completion of the construction of the walls, it is necessary to determine the type of roof. It can be of several types, and the most common are single-sided, double-sided, broken. Most often, a gable roof is used for a house with an attic, although a broken line can make the overall design more interesting. Shed roof least used.

After completion of construction, it is necessary to wait for the shrinkage of the house from the timber and only then proceed to thorough insulation and further finishing.

Projects

There are many finished projects houses from a bar with an attic of various designs, dimensions and other characteristics. You can also independently think over the plan of the house or turn to specialists.

Timber houses can be made in various sizes, the most common are: 6x6, 6x8, 6x9, 8x8, 9x9 square meters. m. Dimensions 6 by 6 and 6 by 8 square meters. m - these are buildings by type country houses, 8 by 8 or 7 by 8 sq. m - these are small cottages, and 9 by 9 sq. m - this is a full-fledged house.

The number of rooms and their location depends on the total area of the house, the wishes of the owners and financial capabilities. IN little house for a small family on the ground floor, you can place a hall, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom, and take the attic under a spacious bedroom. If necessary, on the ground floor, you can equip small room for guests or nursery.

For medium-sized houses, you can either add more bedrooms or expand the main rooms, for example, increase the size of the kitchen in order to equip the dining room. In order to use the attic floor, it is best to arrange a staircase in the hall, but it is also possible in the living room.

What elements to complement the overall design of the house - depends on the owners. On the attic floor, you can equip a balcony or terrace, and on the first floor you can place a porch with a veranda. Windows with a bay window will give the appearance of the house a cozy and stylish look.
