WOOD AND BRICK CLASSIC CHARM

Wood - traditional construction material for building houses. Russian huts, English, Finnish and Swedish houses, Swiss chalets were not built without the use of wood.

at home with modern facades made of wood look quite elite. Tightly fitted planks of natural golden color without cracks and other defects inherent in buildings made of logs or ordinary timber, pleasing to the eye.

WOOD AND STONE THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR A COUNTRY HOUSE

Since ancient times, wood and stone have been used in the construction and decoration of dwellings.

The beauty of one tree is often not enough for architects, and therefore, instead of a sonorous solo, interesting duets often appear. One of these duets is a combination of wood and stone on the facades of houses.

Wood and stone are two natural materials traditionally used in construction since ancient times. Today they are again at the peak of popularity and they are not afraid of the competition of inexpensive and easy-to-use new modern building materials.

Why do we all like chalets so much? Probably because we associate them with warmth, coziness and comfort. And it is easy to agree with this, for this it is enough just to glance at their external design, in which only two materials predominate - wood and stone. Together, these materials give the buildings a charming natural flavor.

This solution would be ideal for country house where the natural wealth around the dwelling can smoothly pass into the interior. For example, a tree of light or white colors is harmoniously combined with large stained-glass windows, glass, on the facade.

Glass also occupies a worthy place as a building and finishing material in construction. It is with the help of glass that you can create a feeling of airiness of space, emphasize its purity and incredible spaciousness.

This amazing combination of wood and glass helps architects to achieve a feeling of complete unity of the building with the surrounding nature.

An interesting effect is created by using frosted glass. And for those who prefer a strict style, dark glass may be suitable.

Wood as a material is very light, strong, elastic, has low thermal conductivity, is easily processed, has a beautiful fibrous structure.

And, therefore, for many, suburban housing is traditionally associated primarily with wood, but with many advantages, it, unfortunately, also has disadvantages fire hazard, susceptibility to moisture and ultraviolet radiation, susceptibility to attacks by microorganisms, etc.

The use of CEDRAL fiber cement siding, a time-tested material, solves the problem. This environmentally friendly material is not afraid of fire, water, sun, insects or molds. It is durable and non-toxic, does not change its original color when exposed to sunlight and moisture. Installation and operation of fiber cement siding is possible from 50 ° C to + 60 ° C.

Thus, CEDRAL in architecture means limitless possibilities that come down to sustainability, practicality and sophistication. This is a unique material that combines the attractive texture of cedar wood with the high strength and durability of concrete. It can be used in both external and interior decoration, to create any design in which an atmosphere of peace, warmth and natural wealth will surely reign.

The abundance of various building materials and technologies allows you to combine all the best in one building. Coolness in the summer heat and savings on heating in winter, the strength of stone and the beauty of wood, the convenience of living quarters and the functionality of an office - suburban combined houses are becoming more and more popular today!

In different parts of the world, people a few centuries ago learned to build combined housing - the first floor was made of expensive, but solid and durable stone, and the second was made of light, but such a beautiful tree. Strictly speaking, this is not the only combination option.

Even combined can be considered country houses, which are completely built of stone - if a wooden or metal block house was used in the decoration, or one floor was insulated and the second was not, then you resorted to a combined construction technology. Many do not even suspect that they live in combined houses. What are the benefits of combining different materials and technologies?

• Ensuring fire safety - on the first, stone floor, it is much safer to equip a fireplace, a bathhouse, a sauna, a boiler room, a garage.
• Separation of floors according to functionality - on the ground floor, residents can open a family business, for example, a grocery store. A very convenient solution for cottage settlements.
• Savings on insulation - the thick walls of the first floor will allow you to economically warm the house in winter, but in summer no air conditioner will save you from stuffiness. Fortunately, in summer you can enjoy the coolness in non-insulated rooms, which are closed in winter or serve as utility rooms such as a dressing room.
• Savings on materials - if at the dawn of the technology of combined houses, stone was expensive and wood was cheap, now the opposite is true. All kinds of foam, gas and cinder blocks make it possible to build walls quite inexpensively, and in combination with expensive wood trim, such a structure will be very beautiful. Thanks to this, everyone can become the owner of a house that looks like a wooden hut, but its walls will be made of durable and inexpensive material. During the construction of the second floor from a wooden beam or rounded logs, you can completely do without plastering the facade.
• Durability - your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be able to live in a combined house! Even if the second floor made of wood fails sooner or later, its walls can be easily rebuilt, relying on a stone foundation. However, with proper processing, the tree is not afraid of such problems.
• The tree breathes - even if you have been absent for a long time, the air in the living rooms will not be stale and humid, as is often the case in stone houses. The air is filled with the aromas of wood, conifers are especially useful in this regard - the phytoncides that they emit kill pathogenic bacteria.
• Savings on the foundation - since the tree has a low thermal conductivity, the thickness of the walls of the second floor can be reduced. And this, in turn, allows you to reduce the parameters of the foundation.

Today, the demand for combined structures is not great - about 10% of all projects, however, in last years experts note the growing interest in this technology. The increasing price of square meters also plays a role. Fortunately, change cottage in a combined one is not so difficult - the main thing is that the foundation in this case is able to withstand the load. However, you can get by with supporting columns - a wooden floor is not so heavy.

By using outdoor stairs you don’t even have to change the internal layout of the first floor. The ability to convert a one-story house into a combined one will also save on the rent of warehouse or office space for those who dream of their own business.

Stone walls have a high degree of strength, and therefore large display windows can be used on the ground floor, which offer excellent visibility. adjoining territory and make the facade brighter. The stone floor often has more architectural beauty - the designer has a place to roam here. All kinds of extensions, decorative details, arches, balconies adorn the facade. The second floor, as it were, crowns the whole building.

However, if desired, both floors can be made in the same style - decorative trim facade allows you to combine different materials into a single ensemble. For example, completely plaster or tile, as in the photo. True, in this case, no one will know exactly how your house differs from ordinary ones. Do you want to live in wooden hut? In this case, the stone floor can also be decorated with siding, for example. Such a facade is outwardly indistinguishable from a log house.

The second floor can be built from the most different options wooden structures. This is both, and a rounded log and already turnkey solutions as wall panels, which are used for frame housing construction. It is very important to ensure proper drainage from the very beginning - the runoff of melted snow and rainwater should not allow moisture to penetrate into the wood.

The most reliable modern protection of wooden facade elements is impregnation with antiseptic agents and flame retardants. The former protect the tree from rotting and blackening, the latter from flammability. The second floor is much better suited for bedrooms and children's rooms, as well as an office. The point is not only in fire safety, but also in a favorable environment, which is formed surrounded by wooden structures.

Combined houses are distinguished by an important design feature- a way to connect the first floor with the second. To exclude any movement, steel reinforcing pins are used, which are laid in the upper row of masonry or poured into concrete trim. A layer of roofing material or a hydrophobic film must be laid on top of stone or concrete to prevent moisture from penetrating the stone into the wood. The crowns of logs or beams of the second floor are attached to the protruding pins, and only then are the beams of interfloor ceilings mounted.

It is very important to protect the junction of the reinforcement and wood from moisture penetration - if the metal starts to rust, this will inevitably lead to rotting of the wood.

Externally, the facade can be either combined into one whole or divided horizontally into two parts, emphasizing the advantages of materials, as in the photo. Each part of the facade can be finished with different materials, the most difficult thing in this matter is to find visually compatible finishing methods. For example, the texture of a wooden frame goes well with sandstone stone tiles. Another option is to decorate the stone floor with brick-like tiles, and decorate the second in half-timbered style.

Perhaps one of the most famous design styles of combined houses is alpine. Photos of these houses become the inspiration for many designers. Such houses are distinguished by far protruding canopies, a high basement, whitewashed timber, massive beams and pilasters. Large terraces supported by columns, spacious balconies are another feature chalet-style houses, as the Alpine style is often called. The protruding canopies provide excellent protection of the wooden elements from moisture, and also protect the occupants from the heat.

Inside, the layout on both floors will be helped by veneered wooden partitions. Small thickness will save valuable square meters, and the use of soundproof materials will ensure comfortable living and work for all family members.

Interior wall decoration is done quickly and easily using drywall, clapboard or plywood. If the first floor is reserved for a family business, you can visually increase the height of the ceilings with suspended structures that perfectly reflect the light. Since the activity of people is traditionally higher in business premises, it is best to lay out the floor with wear-resistant ceramic tiles. Laminate and parquet are best left for living rooms.

The interior design of combined houses is the most diverse. However, most often the decoration is dictated by the materials that were used for construction. If the first floor can be decorated in a more businesslike, restrained minimalist style, then in combination with wood, the country style is in perfect harmony.

How to decorate the facade of a private house in accordance with the latest trends? You just need to use natural facade materials. This is necessary in order to favorably distinguish the house from the environment and improve its proportions. Traditional solutions such as stone and wood on the facade will help emphasize the modern architecture of the house, make it fashionable, attractive and original.

The stone and wood in the cladding of the facades are perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. The tree is perfectly combined with the natural environment, and the stone harmoniously fits into any urban development. Thus, a house finished with stone and wood looks flawless both in the city and in the countryside. These materials are natural and therefore give the buildings a noble and elegant look.

The combination of wood and stone provides unlimited possibilities for decorating the appearance of the building. Through the use of several materials, we can adjust the shape of the house, for example, visually enlarge it, highlighting a relatively small building from the environment. If the simple silhouette of a compact one-story house decorate with wood and decorative stone, it will appear larger, it will become much more noticeable.

However facade stone and vice versa, it can suppress small houses, so you should use it only for fragmentary finishes. A good option is, for example, the stone elements of the basement, which look like a reliable basis for the walls of buildings. At the same time, the wood used for partial finishing of the upper part of the facades will give the house a warmer and more comfortable look.

The combination of different facade finishing materials will allow you to adjust the proportions of a house built on a narrow plot. Too long facade of the building can be visually divided, thanks to the intricate shape stone finish. And long facade boards are indispensable when decorating narrow facades, which visually stretch and become more “correct”.

If the facade of the house is too wide, it can be made more harmonious in perception by introducing elements of stone and wood, which will create an expressive relief and visually narrow the wall area. So, for example, a porch, a bay window, a terrace, a balcony can be distinguished with wooden or stone cladding.

Stone and wood are also ideal for a fairly high cottage. If the first floor is clad in light colors, and supplement with separate details made of stone and wood, while decorating the second floor with dark wooden boards, the building will get a more cozy look, typical for modern comfortable houses with an attic.

In cases where a cottage with wide glazing is being built, you may encounter the fact that as a result, the building with panoramic windows will simply merge with the surrounding natural landscape. To prevent this from happening, a partial finish is applied with massive stone laid out on the non-glazed parts of the facade.

Despite the fact that the stone and wood cladding has been used for centuries, it looks great on the facades of modern cottages, made in one or another fashionable architectural style. Recent trends in the field of low-rise suburban housing involve the construction of simple and regular buildings, hallmark which is energy efficiency. But the environmental factor is also important for progressive architectural solutions. And it is impossible to build an eco-friendly house without the use of materials such as wood and stone.

You can emphasize the relevance of the style of the cottage with the help of the color of the roof. It is better to choose a graphite shade roofing. This color looks quite stylish, respectable and “fresh” on the roof. In addition, the graphite color blends perfectly with any facade finish, including wood paneling and stone. It is worth noting here that the stone covering the outer walls makes the house even more energy efficient, and the wood used in the design of the terrace will smooth out the cold and restrained character of the modern minimalist building.
