A cinder block house has a number of advantages. Its construction does not require the involvement of qualified builders, there is no need to build a heavy and massive foundation. The house will be erected in a short time, and its reliability is comparable to the capital structure. But, it is necessary to ensure that the material does not get wet, then the house will delight you with reliability for a long time.
If you decide to build a house from slag blocks with your own hands, the construction price in this case will be only ten thousand rubles per square meter.
To meet the shortest possible time, you need to follow the step -by -step instructions for its construction.
Any construction begins with the construction of the foundation. So that the cinder blocks do not get wet, its height should be from seventy centimeters. The foundation without damage and cracks will protect the walls. Install the formwork with a reinforcing frame on a pillow of gravel and sand with a thickness of 50 centimeters or more. Pour the foundation with a concrete mixture, which is best to buy ready -made.
Complete curing of concrete will occur in a month, but after seven days, you can lay the plinth. The height of the plinth must be at least five to six rows. Cover the bottom and top of the plinth with a layer of waterproofing.
After thirty days, start laying the walls. When laying cinder blocks, use a cement mortar in which a plasticizer is added. The additive will keep the solution for a long time, the batches will be two to three times less.
Before the onset of the autumn season, it is necessary to build a roof, lay an external vapor barrier and insulate the structure with mineral wool. If you don’t, getting the walls wet will degrade the quality of the cinder blocks. And this means that the house will become damp and cold.
Subject to all construction processes, the house will serve you for decades, delighting you with comfort, coziness and warmth. Before putting the house into operation, it is necessary to conduct a technical examination, the institution of the All-Russian Research Institute of Reinforced Concrete conducts a survey of buildings and structures in Moscow.
