To build a quality house of aerated concrete with their own hands, you need to know a lot of nuances. Well, the manufacturers of blocks do not stop talking about the simplicity of the construction process when using such products. The main benefit is that you do not have to pay for the work of a construction team or company. The cost of a new home will be reduced only to the price of the material itself and the delivery. Thus, after some time on the site may appear not very expensive house or bath. Of aerated concrete, with their own hands to build similar structures is quite realistic. However, first you will have to prepare the project, having also carried out geodetic work. An important point in the construction is the use of special glue and the presence of a certain tool.
When it is planned to erect a house from aerated concrete with your own hands, first of all the option of execution is chosen, because in fact the designs can be given any shape and texture. It is worth paying attention to the sketches of all kinds of buildings from this material. However, an attractive picture is not able to convey all the functionality of a modern dwelling, so you will need an individual or a sample project. Although such blocks are fairly lightweight, they still have some weight. Thus, for the construction of a house with several floors, a thorough calculation of the supporting structures is required.
Very often an individual developer who builds his own house with his own hands made of aerated concrete, believes that for such an object it is necessary to create a relatively inexpensive ribbon foundation. Such a base is capable of withstanding one- or two-story construction, but in this case roofing and decoration materials should be light enough. In addition, almost perfect soil indicators are needed. A common foundation is suitable for lands with shallow freezing and dense structure.
The owner of the site, who decided to build a house of aerated concrete himself, in any case wants to save money. Very often the process of erection stops for an indefinite period of time. To make such timeouts much less, it is necessary to properly allocate finance and prioritize when buying materials. For example, before foundation work there is no need to purchase material for walls, since it can deteriorate during this time. It is not recommended even to deliver aerated concrete completely, because there is a possibility that over time it will change its properties during long-term storage.
Certainly, a house made of aerated concrete is completed in a short time, but it is necessary to assess the situation realistically. As a rule, the walls of the first floor are erected in 7-10 days by a team consisting of four people, with a masonry width of 400 mm. This is a good rule, but in fact it can not be done often even by professionals. Well, with individual construction, without experience and skills, the time will increase to a large extent, and with increasing altitude masonry speed will only decrease.
