How best to use an empty plastic bottle?Some will remember the scoops, vases, holders for mobile phones. But very few people will think that it is possible to build houses from plastic bottles.
The author of this incredible project was German.an engineer who has developed about fifty projects in several countries using ECO-TEC technology. He built a house of bottles, using them instead of bricks. It turned out that if the bottle is filled with earth, then it will not yield to the brick in terms of strength. Building a house of bottles with our own hands, we not only save on construction, but also help maintain the environment at the proper level.
Are there any advantages to using bottles? How does their use compare favorably with other building materials?
First, the bottles have a low cost. Secondly, the house from bottles is characterized by the increased durability. These improvised "bricks" can withstand very strong shocks and loads.
You can use several plastic bottles.time. They are easy to use and significantly reduce the expenditure of funds for building materials (their low cost is mentioned above). A hand-built bottle house can last about 300 years. What other material can boast such durability?
How to build a house of bottles?
Для начала собираем наш строительный материал в huge quantities. It is not necessary that all the bottles be the same, it will be better to use different sizes and shapes. Stock up on a lot of sand! Now we fill all the bottles, falling asleep in them dry, compacted sand, close the cork. To make the structure more durable, we knead some cement, add clay, sawdust and earth to it, then glue the bottles together.
Construction must always begin with columns,which must be at least three. We dig a hole about 100 cm in diameter for the foundation of the column so that the radius is larger than the diameter of the support (at least 20 cm). Next, we insert reinforcement under the columns and put the bottles around the reinforcement with corks inwards. Twine the knot on the neck of the bottle so that the adjacent caps touch each other. The gaps that formed between the bottles, you need to pour a mixture of cement and leave it to settle. To fill the space between the bottles, you can use construction waste or pieces of bricks.
Once the column is erected, we leave it untilfull shrinkage and plastering. Then we start building walls. The tactic is the same: the bottles are put on the solution and the necklines are tied with twine. Then the walls are plastered.
The roof of this house is alive (from the turf). This is not only a matter of aesthetics. Such a roof warms better in winter and gives coolness in summer, and also helps save energy and save money.
The last step in the construction of this unusual house is its interior decoration.
The essence of this concept is thatbottles do not have to bury or burn, thus polluting nature. Instead, they will be directed to the construction of environmentally friendly housing. Thus, you, so to speak, combine the pleasant and the useful. And this is quite interesting and reasonable!
