Despite the abundance of modern effective materials, at the moment traditional natural stone and its artificial counterpart do not lose their popularity.

Due to their unsurpassed decorative qualities, they are mainly used in the design of facades and interiors of buildings. This material of any origin is characterized by durability, absolute fire resistance, low maintenance. Its high aesthetic characteristics, variety of shades and textures give architects complete freedom of creativity, allowing them to create unique pompous ensembles and chamber cottages.

The diversity of facing with decorative stone

Artificial products are extremely widely used at the moment in finishing work, despite the fact that according to their physical characteristics they are significantly inferior to natural ones. This is due to the ease of installation of a decorative analogue, the lightness of the cladding elements that do not require a powerful base, low price, a huge variety of textures and a wide range of colors.

Application in the organization of the porch of organic forms

According to the composition and production technology, the following types of artificial products are distinguished:

• concrete cladding manufactured by vibration compaction cement mortar high brand. Finishing care - coating with paint and strengthening primer every 2-3 years;
• polymer sand tiles characterized by elasticity, low price and relatively low strength;
• products based on synthetic resins repeat exactly appearance and shades of natural raw materials, crumb or dust of which are included;
• porcelain stoneware due to its production from feldspar, fired at more than 1400 ° C, it has high durability and unique strength;
• clinker tiles perfectly imitates stone and brickwork, differing from them in a more democratic cost and low weight. It has good qualities of sound and heat insulation, protects from atmospheric influences;
• flexible cover- sandstone tiles glued with a polymer to a textile base. Differs in durability, elasticity, antistatic properties, small weight and ease of installation on difficult surfaces - columns, cornices, arches.

Free flow of planes of different textures on the facade

These materials are perfectly combined with each other in the decoration of the house, creating exquisite exteriors. They can be combined, creating planes with clear boundaries or smoothly flowing into each other. For example, the torn edges of the facing of the corners with artificial limestone turn into a plastered surface. In the same way, window and door openings, arches are made out.

On a note! At the moment, a popular solution - stones in the form of chaotic inclusions appear through the plaster.

Finishing the plinth with artificial masonry

Using decorative cladding to decorate the lower part of the building extremely important point- reinforcement of the surface of the walls to strengthen their connection with the finish. Above the plinth, it is necessary to fasten the ebbs - it is most susceptible negative impact precipitation. This measure, which is carried out after masonry, before finishing the facade, will protect the foundation from moisture.

Advice! To create a harmonious facade, the plinth material must be in harmony with the color of the roof. The shade of the finishing elements of the bottom of the house must be chosen somewhat darker than the base to which it will be attached.

Building corner cladding

This design of corners is also called rustication, which is densely spaced rectangles or stripes with pronounced seams between them. They are designed to give the facades sophistication and emphasize the reliability of the structure. If even 100 years ago, rustication was carried out using complex brickwork, today, finishing is used to create it. modern materials, including tiles of artificial origin. This technique is also often used to design window and doorways houses. Recently, the asymmetric version of rustication and its “torn” outlines have become increasingly popular.

Advice! To achieve the most natural effect of masonry from natural raw materials, it is necessary to choose design elements from different batches, since natural stone does not happen to be the same in color and shape.

Finishing the facade of the house with stone panels

For the design of buildings, elements can be used that differ in the principle of installation, colors, textures and dimensions. In addition, facade panels with a coating imitating, for example, natural marble, are divided according to the material of manufacture, of which plastic and PVC are the most popular. Their surfaces can copy a wide variety of rocks: granite, limestone, thin slate.

Due to the peculiarities of production technologies, facing elements have high strength and resistance to adverse effects. environment. facade panels can serve for additional insulation and soundproofing of the building.

This type of facade decoration can have various options coatings: metal, resins, cement-sand compositions, various polymers. Surface similarity to natural stone is achieved by adding fine crumbs of malachite, marble, and other rocks to the molding mass. Another way is to cover with an artificial product from a cement-sand mixture, resins and coloring pigments.

On a note! At the moment, the most popular siding that imitates the surface of a wild stone. high similarity achieved through the production of products by casting from propylene using templates from natural cobblestones.

Spectacular natural stone houses

The nature of the facing of buildings with natural rocks depends on the architectural design of the facades. Finishing can be solid or partial, from polished or "wild" slabs. It can be made from stone slabs of the same breed or in combined version. Competently selected and laid in compliance with the technology, finishing elements from natural raw materials require minimal maintenance during operation.

Advice! At various methods laying slabs looks most impressive combined cladding with inserts of decorative fragments.

Finishing Benefits natural material before artificial analogues:

• extremely neat and respectable appearance;
• the longest service life and extremely high resistance to mechanical damage;
• the ability to maintain their qualities under the influence of temperature changes, humidity and sunlight;
• lack of tendency to deformation and cracking;
• reliable fire protection;
• originality of natural textures and shades;
• no need to treat the material against mold and corrosion, which can significantly reduce operating costs.

Features of finishing with wild stone

The breed is resistant to a variety of weather conditions, retaining its originality extremely long time. It is most often used for facing the plinth, corners, door and window openings.

Wild breeds of natural origin include:

• ragged sandstone, usually laid in a chaotic manner;
• boulders - fragments treated with water. They can have lake, sea, river and glacial origin. The most valuable are boulders 15-35 cm in size;
• sea ​​pebble - the remains of rocks, having a flat and even shape;
• meotis (shell but) has a structure with long fibers and properties similar to ceramics.

Important! At the moment, imitation of "wild" stone slabs is also made artificially. Such products have an extremely rich colors and a wide range of textures.

Combined houses made of stone and wood

The combination of wood and stone materials is a rational and cost-effective solution:

• lightening the total weight of the structures makes it possible to abandon the construction of a massive foundation;
• fire resistant stone materials for the first floor, where a living room with a fireplace, a furnace, a garage, a bathhouse can be located - the best option;
• wood is a natural insulation, which makes it possible to save on thermal insulation;
• the first floor of non-rotting stone materials increases the durability of the building;
• reduction of terms from the beginning of construction to settlement - while the process of wood shrinkage is in progress, the first stone floor can already be finished and settled;
• stone-wooden houses provide great opportunities for the implementation of architectural ideas.

Structurally and economically, the most justified option is to use stone materials in combined cottages for the lower tier, and build the upper one from wood. This technologically simplifies the construction process and makes it possible to evenly distribute the load on the foundation.

Advice! For additional weight reduction for the construction of the second floor, it is better to use not rounded logs or timber, but frame technology.

Probably, in 50 years, the houses shown in the video will be perceived as we perceive the classical style houses today, but today it is modern options, pleasing to the eye with novelty and an unusual approach to the implementation of natural well-known material.

Original designs combined houses conquering every day large quantity fans. And this is natural. The combination of different materials makes it possible to equip in an individual style. The practice of such construction shows that the use of this technology significantly reduces.

original project combined house

The main feature that distinguishes the combined Vacation home from others, is that the first floor is made of more durable materials, and the following floors are made of lighter ones. So, for example, for the foundation of a building they successfully use:

• blocks of various composition, including foam concrete, aerated concrete, wood concrete, poroterm and others;
• house made of natural stone.

For the construction of the top of the building, as a rule, apply:

Another direction in the construction of houses combined type is the use of an alternative finishing of a building, completely built of a homogeneous material, with decorative details. It could be like individual elements, and a combined facade. In some cases, the use literally masks the original building material used during installation.

Benefits of combining materials

The construction of combined houses, based on the principle of combining different materials, has obvious benefits.

Origins of combined buildings

The combination of materials in construction residential buildings has been used for more than one century, both in European countries and in Russia. It is traditionally believed that this method of construction is based on the chalet style, which came into modernity from the Alpine mountains.

The massive stone foundation of residential buildings in those places was due to necessity, since a house on a mountain slope had to withstand snow and storm flows.

At the same time, living quarters built of wood were protected from the weather by wide roof awnings, and they are considered the main difference. In Russia, wood was also popular mainly among merchants and artisans.

Project combined cottage from stone and timber

As a rule, the first floors were adapted for shops and workshops, and wooden second the floor was furnished for living. Despite the high cost of construction, this method of erecting buildings was justified, since it was remote from the ground wooden floor was protected from flooding and fire, and, therefore, had a longer service life.

In modern design, combined houses made in the style of a chalet differ not only in the stone base and wide roof canopies, but also.

Respectable brick and wood houses

There are many people who want to realize the project of their own combined brick and wood house. Brickwork has traditionally been considered an indicator of wealth and respectability of the owner.

Finished project respectable house of brick and wood

At combined construction houses and cottages, both silicate and ceramic bricks are successfully used for the construction of the first floor of a combined house. The superstructure of the brick base of the house can be made of any type of wood.

The classic option is combined house made of bricks and glued beams, because it has an attractive appearance, is easy to install and does not shrink, and also has high thermal insulation properties.

An alternative option, of course, is lined with decorative wood paneling, for example, a block house.

The project of a combined house made of wood and brick

It should be noted that the manufacture of a wooden superstructure significantly reduces the cost of construction, since the price of the wooden components of the second floor is significantly lower than the additional brick for customization. However, the technology for arranging such houses allows the construction of the entire building from the main material, and only the facade of the house is decorated with wood details.

In some cases, it applies combined finish when, together with the decoration of the facade, additional wooden elements are installed, such as,.

Economic projects of houses from foam blocks and wood

For economical developers, projects of houses using block materials will be especially interesting. By virtue of its affordable price and thanks to the simple construction, combined houses made of foam blocks and wood are very popular. And also as a material for the construction of the first floor, blocks of other cellular concrete compositions are successfully used, in particular, which has characteristics similar to foam concrete.

A house built of blocks and wood has all the advantages of combined buildings, but there are additional advantages:

When carrying out work on the installation of the second floor on a block base, it must be taken into account that pouring a concrete reinforcing belt is a prerequisite for reliable fastening wooden structures. The frame, consisting of a timber structure, or the timber itself, is already connected to the armored belt with steel anchors. The wooden floor can be made of any type of wood, but the most budgetary solution would be a wooden frame with good insulation and trimmed with decorative panels.

The desire to have their own country house forces many residents of the metropolis to invest fabulous sums in the construction. And the more intricate the project of the cottage is, the greater the financing of the construction should be. At the same time, the price finished house to a large extent depends on the material used for construction. And since stone is mainly used for the installation of houses in Russia, the cottage translates into a pretty penny. However, there is a very productive method of saving family money on building their own nest - cozy and durable houses made of stone and wood. So, as a result of a combination of materials, it will be possible to save on the installation of the entire structure.

Types of combined houses

The use of diverse building materials in the construction of houses, history has been known since the 15th century. And the main harmonious combination was a combination of stone and wood. Such a tandem allows you to make a powerful load-bearing plinth (or first floor) and mount an already lightweight version of the second floor or attic made of wood above it. The most popular examples of such combinations are:

• Half-timbered houses. They originate from of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. The construction of such buildings is based on a wooden frame, which is filled with a natural stone block. Or this same timber frame is mounted on a pre-arranged stone lower floor. The house acquires the outlines of reliability, massiveness and fortress.
• Chalet houses. They are also known as hunter's houses. These buildings came to architecture from the mountainous Alps, where shepherds and hunters equipped their homes in order to hide from the changeable weather of the mountains. Snow or unexpected winds, rain or hot sun - all this could overtake the shepherd in the mountains at any moment. It was as a refuge that strong chalet cottages were built, which were based on a strong stone (basement) floor and wooden attic, sheltered from snow and wind by a sloping roof. Such a house made of wood and stone today has become a special style of architectural direction.

Important: the main rule when combining materials in a building is the installation of a lighter floor over a heavier one. And even if the house will have three floors, the bearing capacity of building materials should decrease from bottom to top. For example, a concrete basement, then the first floor of blocks or bricks, the third floor is exclusively wooden.

Types of material combinations

The construction of combined buildings is similar to the work of a sculptor. Here you can interpret in such a way that the finished cottage turns out to be unlike any of the neighboring ones. In this case, most often the developer uses the following types of combinations:

• Monolithic reinforced concrete and log rounded. Here, coarser hand-cut chopped round timber can be used. Note that a reliable reinforced concrete level acts as a basement semi-basement floor. It is subsequently sheathed on the outside with clinker tiles or simply plastered. The use of a reinforced concrete monolith in the form of a basement floor is relevant on non-porous soils with a low level of groundwater.
• The combination of a brick ground floor with a lighter and more even beam. In this case, either a strip reinforced concrete foundation or a monolithic slab is mounted under the house. All depending on the type of soil on the site and the level ground water On him. It is worth noting that brick and timber, which have a perfectly even shape, create an original tandem for mounting a house in the style of half-timbered construction.
• You can also mount a three-story house from combined materials. Here, combined houses made of foam blocks and wood on top of a monolithic basement level are relevant. At the same time, the final appearance of the house will acquire, thanks to the choice of the developer exterior finish stone floors. The tree will speak for itself.
• And there is also a cheaper combination of materials from a bar or log on the first floor and a frame-shield structure on the second. But this technology is used for small cottages and, if desired, save a lot.

Important: in any of the cases of installing a stone first level, the fire safety of the finished house increases several times. Since it is in the basement (lower) level of the house that all utility and household premises are located, such as a kitchen, garage, boiler room, workshop, fireplace room, etc.

The advantages of houses made of combined material

The construction of a combined house has a number of advantages in comparison with the installation of a homogeneous cottage. Especially if it was originally planned to mount the whole stone house. So, the main positive aspects of such a building are:

• Significant savings in the construction budget. Moreover, funds are saved not only due to the cost of diverse materials - stone and wood. The estimate is melting before our eyes as a result of the fact that houses made of bricks or blocks and timber end up with a smaller mass than a completely stone building. As a result, a lightweight type of foundation can be mounted under such a house. But it is the basis that most often costs about 30-40% of the total construction budget. In addition, it will be possible to save money on hiring workers for the installation of the cottage. That is, the payment to masons will be less than if they built completely stone house. Yes, and renting special equipment for the installation of a combined house is cheaper.
• Wide architectural possibilities. Most often for the device combined houses use non-standard projects combined brick and wood houses. Here, the extensions of the left or right wing of the house may predominate as a territory for the utility room. Wherein given zone the cottage is also reliably sheltered from rain by a sloping roof, like any other part of the house. You can also hide from prying eyes all the utility rooms in the basement, and leave only the cozy and comfort-breathing rooms of the first floor and the attic for the guests to see. Stained-glass windows, a mansard balcony under the roof or a spacious terrace from the eastern part of the cottage are used as the entourage of the house.
• It is also worth noting that you can move into a combined house immediately, but using only the first or basement floor. Since the stone is not subject to natural shrinkage, then interior decoration the lower level can be carried out immediately after construction is completed. The upper wooden level must be given time to shrink and only after that begin internal work.
• The heat capacity of a combined house will be several times higher than that of a house made entirely of stone. After all, the tree perfectly holds heat, which means that the first floor can be heated qualitatively, and optimal temperature second level. Hence, by the way, and savings on the maintenance of the finished house.
• In addition, the stone lower floor is more resistant to seasonal changes in the ground, which means that it will ensure a longer service life of the finished cottage.
• In addition, exactly wooden part of the combined stone-wood house provides optimal microcirculation throughout the room. After all, the tree breathes constantly, regardless of temperature changes outside and inside the building.

However, the combined cottage has one significant disadvantage - this is the difference in the service life of building materials. So, a stone is able to provide a house with a life of 100 years or more. While the upper level of the cottage, made of timber or logs, will require repair in 30-40 years. However, such a nuance can also be interpreted as a positive moment - there is a chance to re-plan the attic level to meet the needs of a family that has grown in size. That is, both children and grandchildren can be provided with a separate spacious room in a cozy strong house.

The nuances of the construction of a combined structure

In order to correctly combine two types of building materials into a single and strong monolithic structure, several basic requirements must be observed:

• So, you need to combine wood with stone using special steel pins built into the masonry. At the same time, the stone surface in front of the device wooden crowns must be waterproofed.
• The tree, in turn, is necessarily treated with antiseptics and fire retardants before laying in order to increase its fire safety and resistance to decay.
• The stone part of the house is finished with plaster or cladding. BUT decoration wooden level, if necessary, is performed using lining. Although wood is an independent and harmonious building material.

Design features of combined buildings

In order for a house made of aerated concrete (brick, foam concrete or reinforced concrete monolith) to become a real haven for the whole family, several nuances must be taken into account during its construction (at the design stage):

• So, in the lower part of the cottage, all utility, household and public premises are usually located. If the house has only two levels, then rest rooms such as a billiard room, a fireplace room, and a living room are also arranged here. At the same level, but away from the "noisy" rooms, you can arrange an office. If the house is supposed to have a basement level, then it is here that all household rooms are arranged. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, a dining room, a fireplace and an office. And already in the attic they design all the rooms for sleeping. Here you can also place a nursery.
• An excellent solution is offered by such house projects, where on the ground floor they arrange a room for a family business. It can be a workshop or atelier, a small shop or office. Autumn is convenient to work with a family, without leaving home and without wasting time on the road to the workplace.

Tip: but in this case, you should make sure that all household members have a separate entrance to the house, hidden from prying eyes. It is better if it is a courtyard hidden by a fence. Such a combined house project is a great option for a large family.

private, beautiful spacious house, built with his own hands, attracts many. But it's one thing to dream about own house, and it is completely different to build a structure from the foundation to the roof. Today, residential buildings made of stone and wood are very popular.

The chalet style is gaining momentum and becoming a fashionable trend in construction. Designers offer a variety of projects for combined houses related to the elite, middle and economy class. In most cases, future owners of private housing are interested in inexpensive projects of combined houses made of stone and wood.

In addition to the low cost, combined chalet houses made of stone and wood attract with a lot of advantages. Among these, it should be noted:

• Structural durability.
• High level of wear resistance, strength.
• Fire safety.

Plus, wood structures are distinguished by comfort and heat retention. And in combination with brickwork, such a structure looks beautiful, soundly. So that the used materials are not wasted, the masters recommend to think in advance in which version they will be used. The most popular is the project of a combined chalet-style house.

Not good choices

Projects of combined houses are different. Reviews of the masters say that not all of them are successful. For example, the option in which a brick structure is first built, and then lined with wood clapboard, can ultimately lead to damage to materials. Let's not forget that brick and wood have different coefficients of thermal expansion. If the brickwork is veneered with wood correctly, then a sufficient distance must be left between the materials. But over time, insects and rodents can start in this space.

The opposite option is also possible, in which a wooden structure is faced with brick. But from the rearrangement of the sequence of materials used, the essence does not change. Between the layers of materials, mold, fungus, and bark beetles can form.

Best projects

Reviews about turnkey combined houses made of stone and wood claim that the most optimal combination materials - floor by floor, as shown in the photo. For example, a project of such a structure might look like this:

• The first floor is a brick building with utility rooms - a kitchen, a dining room, a boiler room, a guest room with a fireplace.
• The second floor is wooden. There is a bedroom, a nursery, guest rooms. The gentle aroma of wood will promote relaxation and peace.

Reviews of the masters claim that to create ideal project combined house, it is necessary to take into account the requirements and wishes of the customer. In any case, the master must warn the future owner that it is better to place engineering communications on the first floor. Considering the lightness of wood, it is not necessary to build the first floor from this material. The supporting walls must be made of stone so that the house as a whole is strong and reliable.

Variations

Combined house stone wood turnkey economy class, can be built from concrete monolithic foundation, ceramic brick and pine wood. Since the house is two-story, stairs inside the building are a must.

An excellent choice is wooden stairs inside the house and monolithic stairs outside. A great addition to the building is the attic on the second floor, which has decorative trim similar in color to the decoration of the walls of the first floor.

Economy class projects of combined houses made of stone and wood in the style of a chalet must include a spacious terrace. This element of the structure is a distinctive feature of such housing. Another obligatory element A successful project in the style of a chalet is the presence of a flat roof with a wide wingspan at the house. Thanks to this solution, the wood part of the structure is protected from moisture and precipitation.

Houses made of stone and wood appeared a long time ago. Currently, such houses are becoming more and more popular in.

- this is usually where the first floor is brick or stone, and the second floor is wooden.

Project two-story house from stone and wood

To build it, use or. Each floor has its own distinctive features. They can be characterized as follows:

1. First floor. It is characterized as a practical building. It is quite strong and stable, well suited for placing a bathroom, kitchen in it.
2. Second floor. Very warm and comfortable floor, ideal for living. Very well suited for the location in it of bedrooms, an office.

Wood and stone - their description and properties

Both types of these building materials have their advantages and disadvantages:

The combination of these two materials solves many practical problems, and also helps to compensate for the disadvantages of one material, while emphasizing the advantages of the other.

Advantages and disadvantages of combined houses

Houses built of wood in combination with brick, like all other buildings and structures, have both their pluses and minuses. The advantages of a combined house include the following indicators:

The disadvantages of combined buildings include such a significant minus as different dates exploitation of wood and stone. wooden walls suitable for living for half a century. If the walls were built from shields or in the form of a frame, then their service life will be significantly reduced.

Therefore, after a certain period of time, the moment still comes when the first brick floor is still strong and reliable, and the second wooden floor is already in need of repair.

In order to extend the life of the tree, it is necessary for construction to choose only high-quality, well-dried and. And also it is necessary to think over the drainage system from the walls. At each stage of construction, monitor the tightness of all sections on the racks and beams of the building.
