Dome housing construction

Dome building has recently become increasingly popular. Structurally, the house is equipped with convex walls is a rectangular "box" with a sloping roof, reminiscent of the traditional dwelling of the Inuit Igloo.

Technology of construction of houses dome (home sphere) is drawn, in fact, the birds that make their nests semi-circular or circular shape.





The house in the form of a sphere can be constructed from any material. To build residential buildings typically use wood frames. The reasons for this is that wood is durable and environmentally friendly material, which also successfully coexist with metal fixtures. For roofing often use soft shingles, which lies on a curved surface.

The level of technological development allows you to build the home-sphere with pnevmoballony of PVC, which is applied to the heater. Then the insulation installed reinforcement cage, and applied to a concrete mixture.

Building with a domed roof can no longer be considered exotic, since enthusiasts today erect their own hands. How is this done in practice we briefly describe.

The construction of the dome house you need to start with the layout of the Foundation under the frame. Then, at the stage of concreting will need to put in the Foundation anchors. With them Montreat lining Board, to which you then attach the first row of triangular pieces of the frame. The Assembly must go in parallel rows, connecting the rib cage to the unit using connectors.

After installation inside the dome is sheathed with paneling or drywall. The cell frame is filled with insulation, then covered with its windproof material and cover the outside of the oriented strand Board stove. In places where you want to put the window trim do not. In the installation of the door frame, "interrupting", because we want to leave a niche of the appropriate size. We should also consider that the doorway fits in the spherical design of the house, but the window of this house can only be made with unusual shapes, triangular, and they, naturally, will cost more than the traditional rectangular.





Why the need for all these difficulties when building a house, you ask. The fact that the spherical structures, in addition to such advantages as durability and resistance to external influences (particularly the wind), there are other advantages. First, it is economical (because the Assembly is carried out without the use of cranes, Foundation of light, the use of insulation reduces heating costs).

Secondly, due to the fact that the internal walls are missing, the layout inside the building is almost inexhaustible. We also note excellent sound quality buildings of this type. The inside of the spherical house is very spacious, where you can easily accommodate a second floor. From an aesthetic point of view, the house dome is very attractive and unusual.





House dome can in particular be a great bath, due to its shape. Oven located in the center, and the spherical shape of the walls provides an even heating of the building.

The owners of spherical buildings have noted also save energy, and costs to build "domes" are not very high. And yet these houses feature original shape and comfort of finding them, because the lack of corners has a beneficial effect on the human psyche.

In General, plus there are many, although, too, have drawbacks and the main one that the contractors for the construction of dome homes you can not just find, because of the lack thereof. And do a house yourself can only afford someone who is familiar with construction, and what is more, possesses the appropriate time. Still home to the dome shape — "piece goods". published
