Построить жилище на сегодняшний день не is of particular difficulty. There are a lot of special materials for this, which are quite practical in application and operation and are endowed with certain technical and quality characteristics. Despite this, now you can often find a house from the container of the sea. This building is distinguished by its originality and extraordinary functionality.
Characteristics of sea containers
As a rule, these structures are used to carry any cargo on ships. Now it is possible to build houses from sea containers. Photos of them are quite diverse, as well as design.
So, such constructions are based on a metal frame of shaped pipes with parameters:
20x20 mm;
40x20 mm.
The frame itself is mounted on metal channelsor I-pipes. For this reason, the containers have a high level of strength and reliability. Sheet metal is used as a coating. As a rule, they are corrugated. Their thickness can be 2 or 3 mm. In some cases, this parameter metal sheet is found and 4 or 5 mm.
Note. Due to the fact that the design is made of durable and reliable material, the house of the sea container will have similar characteristics.
Parameters and forms of sea containers
At the moment there are two forms of such structures:
square;
rectangular.
Their sizes are various. Square designs have a length:
2 m;
3m;
4 m;
6 m.
The width is 2 or 3 m. The rectangular containers are 12 m long and the width is the same.
Thanks to this size, building a house from sea containers is fast and easy. For this, his project is initially developed.
Varieties of houses based on such structures
At the moment the house of the container sea can be:
single storey;
two-story.
Important. Experts do not recommend constructing buildings with a higher number of floors due to costly intensification work during the construction process.
Also it is worth considering that the houses of their sea containers can have not only straight and standard forms. You can create unique in its style architectural creations of modernity.
There are also modular houses made of sea containers.What it is? The container itself is a separate module. Accordingly, modular houses are buildings of several containers that are securely fastened together and subjected to finishing.
Construction cost
At the moment, not every person who hasThe property has a country plot, it can build a house of modern materials on it. This is due only to their value, which is not affordable for many of us.
Why houses from sea containers possesspopular? All this because of the cost of funds for their construction. Firstly, the price of a container varies between 5-7 thousand US dollars. And for a functional high-grade home it may take up to 2 pieces of such structures. Secondly, container delivery is quick and easy. Its cost reaches 80 thousand rubles. Buy them is also not difficult.
Finishing the house in the future also will not be expensive, since there are a lot of modern tools that can be used on a metal surface.
Stages of construction of the house of containers
Initially, you need to decide on the number of required living space. Sometimes it may be enough one design of this type, and in some cases you can use several.
Important. First you need to make anticorrosion processing of containers.
Apply for this special means that is applied to the surface of the metal structure. All this helps to protect the future of the house from various influences.
Building a house from sea containers involves the implementation of certain stages of work:
project development;
foundation construction;
container fastening;
reinforcement of supporting structures;
building insulation;
exterior and interior.
All this will take a minimum of effort and time.
Building a project
Проекты домов из контейнеров морских могут быть any You can create a building plan on your own, or you can contact professional architects for help. Although the difficulty is to do it yourself, no. The most important thing is to take into account the functional rooms:
living room;
bedroom;
kitchen area;
sanitary rooms;
utility rooms.
At the same time, their sizes directly depend only on the number of containers used in construction. Bedrooms can be two or three. Their number is based on the number of residents in the house.
The foundation for the house
It is worth noting that the house of the container seaIt has a fairly large mass, and there can not do without the construction of a fairly strong and reliable foundation. As a rule, in most cases, make a monolithic foundation.
To do this, you will need:
sand;
cement brand 400;
water.
Council To increase the time of solidification of the base, you can use special hardeners or other appropriate additives.
Pre-perimeter of the future buildingwooden formwork is being built, which will be needed to fill the concrete solution. Also produced reinforcing mesh and placed in the formwork. The solution is mixed in a concrete mixer until a homogeneous mass.
Note. It is not necessary to immediately fill all the components of the concrete solution in a container for mixing. Everything must be done in the process of mixing gradually.
Container Fastening
In such works use specialmetal corners or simple pipes. They are mounted both inside and on the outer surface of the structure. Pre-cleaned in the container walls, which are not needed in the planning space.
Also worth considering that you need to do the gainthe whole building, if it contains more than one floor. Used for this channel or profiled pipes of large size and wall thickness of not less than 2 mm, which is fixed on the bearing walls.
Council Such works are also performed inside and outside the future structure.
At the same time, windows and doors are being cut. You can do this with the help of the grinder. All edges of cuts are processed by special means.
Warming of a structure
As a rule, any structure requires specialinsulation and insulation. This only positively affects the indoor climate. In some cases, such work is optional. If a dwelling house is being built from sea containers, then insulation and insulation works are recommended.
All this is due to the fact that the metal isexcellent conductor of sounds. That is, if you do not isolate the walls of the building from such an impact, then during the rain it will not be possible to be in it. In addition, the metal is considered to be a cold material, and even with an optimally selected system of heating a house, it will still be cool in the rooms. Moreover, the metal is perfectly heated by sunlight.
Council In addition to internal and external insulation, experts recommend to pre-think the ventilation system of the entire building.
Used for insulation of the whole structure:
mineral wool;
Styrofoam;
polyurethane foam.
The first remedy may eventually lose itsspecifications. As a rule, its service life is not more than 10 years. Another thing is foam or polyurethane foam. These are sheet materials that are fairly easy to assemble due to the density of their structure. Also, their service life is at least 20 years. In addition, they are used not only for insulation, but also for insulation of the structure, unlike mineral wool.
Attach any of these funds to a special glue or plastic pins. They are pre-screwed into the walls of the container. Polyethylene film is laid over the materials.
Exterior and interior finish
Pre-surface needs to be helda number of preparatory work. In addition to insulation, they also construct a crate of wood or metal. Sheets of plywood or OSB will be mounted on it for further finishing.
In the works on the external design is used:
natural or artificial stone;
decorative plaster;
block house;
plastic;
siding.
Sometimes amaze with their originality house from sea containers. Photos of some of them can be seen in the article.
Each of the above materials has excellent quality characteristics. Easy to install. Only this uses certain technologies.
Natural and decorative stone is fixed onprimed surface with concrete mortar or special adhesive. The plaster is applied with spatulas of different sizes on a flat surface. As a rule, it has an original structure after drying, and it is not necessary to process it with sandpaper.
Block house, siding and plastic mounted onwooden crate, which is treated with varnish to protect the structure of wood. Use in the work of special screws, guides and other auxiliary means.
In the interior decoration work is performed.similar to external. Initially, a flat surface is created, and only then finishing materials are mounted on it. Only instead of plywood and OSB you can use drywall, which is perfectly exposed to wallcovering, plaster, paint and so on. It should be noted that the height of the ceiling in the house of sea containers will be no more than 2.4 m. Hence, it is not necessary to apply multi-level ceiling structures in the surface finish. It is better to stop the choice on simple installation of sheets of gypsum cardboard or to make stretch ceilings, which at their cost will be much cheaper than gypsum boards and easier to install. Moreover, there are various options for surface design with their help.
