Thanks to the speed of construction, country houses using Canadian technology are widely in demand on the countryside real estate market, especially since they can be simply ordered on a turnkey basis. This construction method is very common in Canada, which is what gives houses built using this technology their name. Well, since the climatic conditions of Canada are close to domestic ones, the methods of constructing suburban housing developed and tested in this country are relevant for Russian buyers. What houses can look like using Canadian technology: projects, prices, photos in our article.

Canadian houses: a little history

The first frame buildings were known in Europe during the early Middle Ages. In those days, the structure was based on a system of posts and beams with braces located diagonally. The space between the parts of this frame structure was filled with stone, bricks or clay.

Colonists who came to Canada and the United States from Europe used this technology, which allowed them to create houses at any time of the year in a short time. To protect from Canada's harsh weather conditions, the walls of houses were sheathed with boards from the outside and inside, and the voids were filled with any available material. Most often a mixture of clay, straw, sand and stone was used.

Thus, the basis for creating houses using Canadian technology already in those days was the prototype of insulated panels, with the help of which it was possible to build high-quality warm home as soon as possible. Modern technology of “Canadian houses”, adapted for harsh conditions climatic conditions, has a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of modern Canadian houses

A frame house using this technology is built from panels covered with OSB (a material made from wood chips impregnated with polymer resins) and insulated with polystyrene foam. The dimensions of the panels are selected individually, taking into account the dimensions finished construction. Insulated panels are ready-made elements walls that are strengthened on a pre-built foundation. After this, the installation of floors, roofs, as well as doors and windows occurs.

• The main advantage of the technology is the speed and ease of building a house. Installation work do not require the use of specialized equipment and a large team of builders; on average, a house is erected within 2-3 months.
• A frame structure using Canadian technology will cost about half the price of a full-fledged one brick house, while the functional characteristics of both buildings are similar.

• Lightweight panels do not require the construction of a powerful foundation, so they can be built on areas with any terrain.
• Expanded polystyrene, filling the space between the panels, has high insulating properties. Therefore, the finished building does not require additional sound insulation and insulation.

Unlike dwellings made from beams or logs, Canadian wooden houses allow installation engineering communications inside the panels themselves. Thus, finished living spaces look more aesthetically pleasing, and less time and effort is spent on installation.

• Wooden panels at the base of the frame create pleasant atmosphere in the house.
• Lightweight wall material allows you to choose various ways external finishing of the finished building: decorative brick, plaster, boards - all this is available to the owners frame houses, built using Canadian technology.
• Thanks to the production of custom-made panels, the finished structure can have almost any architectural form.

Disadvantages of building a house using Canadian technology

Despite the many obvious advantages, houses using Canadian technology have a number of features and limitations, due to which they are not suitable for all owners suburban areas. The main feature of the technology is the restrictions on the dimensions of the finished building. The height of each floor should not exceed 3 meters, there can be a maximum of 3.

The environmental friendliness of the finished building may raise questions due to the abundance of polymer resins impregnating the product. However, this is a question of the integrity of the manufacturers of such structures - if the panels are made in compliance with the technology, then they comply with all environmental safety standards.

The characteristics of a finished residential building, in addition to the quality of the material, are also determined by the professionalism of the team of workers. If the contractor’s integrity combines with high-quality components and finishing according to all the rules, then a Canadian house is a comfortable and durable home.

Features of the components of frame houses

Regardless of the technology chosen, the construction of a house using Canadian technology will be carried out in several stages. When choosing a material for each element, it is necessary to take into account its functional characteristics.

Foundation

Common option for construction frame structures – strip foundation, which is a concrete structure immersed in the ground by about 50 cm, the height above the ground is 20-30 cm. With correct calculations, a strip foundation allows you to erect a residential building on various types soils, including swampy and mobile ones. The main disadvantage of such a foundation is the inability to carry out a global redevelopment of the house over time.

Screw foundations can be sunk to a considerable depth, which makes it possible to use them to create a foundation for a house on difficult soils. The main disadvantage is that noticeable shrinkage of the structure is likely, especially if there are errors in calculations or violation of technology. As a result, with a fine finish after completion construction work will have to wait a while. In addition, neither about the basement nor about ground floor there is no need to think in such a house.

The most reliable option is slab foundation, which is a flat reinforced concrete “pillow” on which the structure is erected. Due to its high cost, it is usually not used when building prefabricated houses using Canadian technology, but on sandstone or when there is an abundance groundwater this may be the only option available.

Most often, the cost of the foundation is calculated separately from other work on the construction of a frame house. Experienced specialists will help the customer choose optimal type foundation depending on the characteristics of the building and the surface on which it will be built.

Floor covering

The future floor is based on floors made of wooden beams, which are placed on the foundation of the house. Most often, slabs made to order along with materials for the walls of the house are used to cover the ground floor. Installation of this part of the house is carried out immediately after preparing the foundation; the joints of the slabs are carefully treated with sealant. The next layer consists of insulation and steam insulating materials. After this, the finished “rough” floor is placed finishing coating, for example, laminate.

The floor on the second and third floors is constructed in the same way, while the amount of insulation and vapor barrier material used is less than for covering the first floor. What comes to the fore here is soundproofing materials that provide comfortable living.

The basis of the structure on the second floor is the floors on which the subfloor, insulating materials, slabs and fine finishing(for example, linoleum).

Material for house walls

Regardless of the architectural project, Canadian frame houses are based on SIP panels, which are particle boards with a layer of insulation. As a rule, such elements are installed without an additional frame, but at the customer’s request, the house can be further strengthened.

If necessary, add between frame elements thermal insulation boards made from mineral wool.

The outside walls are covered with film to protect against the penetration of moisture and wind.

The construction of houses using Canadian technology involves the use of various facing materials: siding, façade panel from composite materials, porcelain stoneware and stone tiles, plaster or wooden boards. In this case, depending on the selected option, facing materials will be attached differently to the surface of the walls.

Modern materials help create any exterior decoration Source mastersmi.com

Regardless of the type of finish chosen, it is necessary to consider ventilation gaps, which help free air circulation and prevent moisture accumulation. Thus, the final wall thickness consists of the panel, internal and external finishes, as well as the technological gap.

Roof of a Canadian house

The chosen shape and materials for the roof of a house depend entirely on the amount of precipitation, climate, and wind intensity.

The main material for the roof is SIP panels placed on wooden rafters (strong beams that form the slopes of the future roof). If necessary, additional thermal insulation is fixed to the panels.

After this it is selected roofing material. The most common option is metal profile– sheets various shapes, protecting the roof from external influences. For the comfort of residents, such material must be equipped with sound insulation so that the sound of rain is heard less.

Alternative option - soft bitumen shingles, lighter and easier to install.

The choice of roof shape is limited by the average amount of precipitation and the taste preferences of the customer. For example, budget houses most often have a standard gable roof. It prevents water retention, neutralizing the possibility of leaks, and also allows you to equip a spacious attic space.

Multi-pitched roofs look more original and allow the implementation of complex architectural solutions. The main disadvantage of this option is the complexity, and, as a result, the high cost of installation work.

Book and film by Larry Hohn "The Very Efficient Carpenter"

Reliable and easy-to-install SIP panels, which are easy to install without additional construction equipment, allow you to create a home with your own hands.

The book and film by carpenter Larry Hohn, “The Very Efficient Carpenter,” describes in detail the process of building a frame house using Canadian technology. Each chapter of the book and episode of the film is devoted to the components of the house: the ceiling, walls, roof, as well as self-construction stairs. The beginning of the video describes the progress of the calculations required quantity building materials mentioned necessary tools, and also shows in detail the progress of the work itself.

Film by Larry Hohn:

The work of the master shows that the construction of a durable building requires not only experience and skill, but also the selection of materials with the necessary technical characteristics. Unfortunately, when creating a home, “there are no small details.” For example, an incorrectly created foundation or a violation of roof insulation technology leads to premature destruction of the house.

Larry Hohn's step-by-step video guide complements the book and also allows you to follow all the nuances of the house construction process in order to fully evaluate the quality of the construction team's work. This will avoid serious mistakes in construction.

Any projects of Canadian houses and cottages can be built on a turnkey basis. This service is provided by qualified specialists working using approved technologies. The progress of construction should be monitored to check the quality of the work, but at the same time, it is better to entrust the calculation of materials and the subtleties of the process to professionals.

Consequences of technological errors during the construction of a building

The main mistake when building a house is inappropriate savings. SIP panels are based on wood, so it is strongly recommended to pay attention to their quality. Damp, improperly dried or rotten wood means future gaps in the walls, drafts and rapid destruction of the house.

All joints in the finished structure must be adjacent to each other as tightly as possible, all gaps must be treated with sealant and construction foam. This will avoid unnecessary “cold bridges” (places of penetration of rain and wind), which contribute to the destruction of the house.

Tightly fitting panels require the installation of additional ventilation, as well as the use of artificial gaps. Before starting work, you should ask the builders exactly how the house will be ventilated.

The quality of the factory-made panels themselves should be checked before installing the building. As a rule, high-quality SIP panels have smooth edges, correct form and uniform color. It is strongly not recommended to purchase cheap slabs made in China, not adapted to harsh weather conditions.

Popular Canadian house designs

The most common house designs using Canadian technology are one-story, one-story with an attic, standard two-story, and also houses with a garage.

Traditional one-story house with a spacious porch and a gable roof - best option for a small family. Finishing with plaster and wood panels, as well as laconic forms create a completed look of the building. The absence of large windows and a glazed veranda will save on heating the building.

The combination of a small terrace, stone finishing and plaster gives the two-story house solidity and good quality. At the same time, the architectural solution is very compact and budget-friendly: gable roof easy to install, heating costs are kept to a minimum thanks to open porch and a terrace on the second floor.

Facing natural stone and brick - the right way to give an affordable and laconic home exclusivity and reliability. Small skylights, originally decorated pipes and a modest porch give the building a complete look. An organically built-in garage with small windows can be used as an outbuilding.

We have all heard that today construction market houses built using frame technology appeared. Because this technology very common in Canada, the term “Canadian house” appeared. What is actually meant by this name, how Canadian technology differs from other frame construction, what features does it have and is it worth implementing in Russian realities? What is the price of such buildings?

How to build without breaking technology?

In the construction of frame houses, the most important thing is adherence to technology. Unfortunately, in our realities, it is very difficult to fully comply with all the technology. The thing is that Canadian houses are positioned in our country as the cheapest and most economical housing, the quality of which is no lower than stone ones.

Seeing direct benefits and the opportunity to save money, critical thinking is turned off, which should remind people that free cheese It only happens in a mousetrap, and the miser pays twice. As a result, having spared money, we get a house of low quality, which will become distorted in 5 years.

To avoid this, construction technology must be carefully followed. What is it? In the factory, special panels are created from special OSB-3 boards and expanded polystyrene according to drawings. The dimensions are carefully verified and correspond to the dimensions of your home project. Projects must have dimensions of all elements marked. If you want a quality home, Canadian technology must be fully observed.

Find out why such country houses have become popular.

Installation technology - quality guarantee

The pre-prepared foundation is tied with a strapping board or timber (read how to do this correctly here), and the floor is initially installed. The floor of a Canadian house also basically has panels that connect to each other. The joints are thoroughly foamed, and after joining they are fastened at an angle with self-tapping screws. Read more about how to make a harness in our article.

After installing the floor, construction of the walls begins. The frame is not installed, since the factory panels are, in fact, a ready-made wall that only needs to be installed vertically and fixed. For this purpose we use 220 mm self-tapping screws and a screwdriver.

Once the walls are in place, we foam them on top. The polystyrene foam in the panels does not reach the very top, leaving room for the strapping board. Install top harness on foam around the perimeter of all walls and also reinforce it with self-tapping screws.

The next stage is the installation of floor beams. In frame houses using Canadian technology, they are made in such a way that they have a good strength threshold. Additionally, they are attached to the floor beams. Panel gables are also connected by parallel load-bearing beams. These gables are load-bearing elements at the gable roof.

Installation of a roof using Canadian technology begins with the installation of the main ridge beam. Its bevels should be made at the angle of the roof slope. Intermediate beams and purlins prevent the roof from sagging under the weight of snow. These girder beams are cut into each gable slope between the ridge beam and the walls parallel to it. The wall panels should not rest directly on the walls, but on support beams. Despite the fact that the roof is enough complex element at home, it is assembled by 3-4 workers in 2 days. A roof made of panels is quite functional, and you can do without additional insulation. Smooth surface Ideal for any roofing work.

Installing windows and doors in panels is no different from installing them in other materials. Please note that gaps above window and door frames, in frame houses are made minimal.

Houses using Canadian technology are ready for finishing almost immediately after installation. You can use wallpaper, painting or any other finishing materials, based on your preferences. Exterior finishing also has no restrictions. Use paint, siding, wood, stone - any material you like.

Finished house designs with a description of the finishing can be changed at the request of the customer.

How do buildings behave in our climate?

The climate is playing big role in the operation of any home, but when it comes to wooden houses– this is doubly true. Is the technology for constructing so-called frame frames different in Europe, America, Canada and Russia? And why is Canadian technology so popular in our country? Today, Canadian technology is put to use in frame houses.

First of all, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the climate has always been taken into account when constructing frame houses. Huge America, building such housing in different climatic zones, has different standards for every climate. A frame house built in California will be different from a frame house built using Canadian Minnesota technology. Everything is taken into account - the percentage of moisture in the wood, the degree of permeability of building membranes, and the performance of insulation. The Russian market is in good order. There is not such a variety of materials, unfortunately, so you often have to use “what you have.”

As for Canada specifically, their technology suits us perfectly. Firstly, we have a very similar climate over most of the territory. They have snowy and cold winters, rainy summers - everything is like ours. Therefore, it was the Canadian technology of building houses that took root in Russia.

Given the technology, these houses have performed very well. They warm in winter, cool in summer (when installing a ventilation system), heat up quickly and retain heat, saving energy. And their price is ideal in relation to the quality.

If you don't know whether to build it yourself or order ready house contact the developer, please read the following information.

The most common mistakes and consequences

If you encounter unscrupulous developers, you risk getting a low-quality home. How to avoid disappointment and build a cheap Canadian house? All attention to detail.

1. Pay attention to the materials. Price should play a secondary role. It has been said many times that wood must be well dried, and not just lying in a warehouse, but in factory conditions, when the moisture evaporates evenly. Then the timber and board are not deformed or twisted. Rarely does anyone have the opportunity to check each board for evenness, as a result of which bad wood will produce defects of up to 30%. Where will you put such wood? You cannot build with it, as it will create gaps that may increase even more over time. The emerging cold bridges will make the house colder. Uneven temperatures will cause condensation to form and moisture to accumulate in certain places. And there it’s just a stone’s throw from mold and mildew. And this is already a big step towards the destruction of the house.
2. Construction technology. Good builders achieve perfect adjacency of all elements to each other, as well as high-quality fixation. The timber can be fastened with nails, self-tapping screws, using corners and other consumables. When building a house using frame technology, any board, even the shortest one, is fixed in at least 2 places. Long beams must be fixed at a distance of at least 1.5 meters between the screws. It is better to foam any joints. The cracks must be removed using jute, polystyrene foam or other material.
3. Ventilation. Canadian house looks like a thermos, so to create comfortable atmosphere must be used ventilation system. Artificial ventilation is expensive, and not everyone can afford to install it in their home. Therefore, ask the developer how the problem was solved in your case. It is possible that there are ventilation gaps between the polystyrene foam panels, which significantly improve the quality of the house. Lack of ventilation is a big minus in the house.
4. Defect in production. Rarely, but sometimes factory panels are defective. This may be uneven filling of the space between the OSB insulation or uneven cutting of the slab. But most often there is some non-compliance with the dimensions given in the project. This is fraught with warping of the walls or roof in the future.

And of course, we must separately talk about such a mistake as trying to save where it is impossible to save. We are talking about cheap Chinese materials. This is especially true for synthetic materials, the price of which can be 20% lower. Cheap Chinese materials often stand out harmful substances, which can not only worsen the well-being of people in such a house, but also cause such dangerous diseases, like skin cancer and bronchial asthma. Use only materials that are approved for use in residential buildings in Europe.

Pros of Canadian buildings

Canadian technology is often the only option the middle class can afford. What are the advantages of such construction?

1. Saving cash. The price is almost 2 times lower than stone buildings.
2. Fast installation.
3. A small number of workers to build a house.
4. The versatility of slabs for finishing.
5. Warmth and good atmosphere in the house.
6. Energy savings and cheap maintenance. The service price is 30% lower.
7. Simple repair.
8. Possibility to complete the house at any time.
9. There is no need to install a heavy and expensive foundation.
10. Large selection, including standard projects, economy housing.
11. Projects may differ in original architectural solutions.
12. Can be built on any type of soil.
13. Ease of communication, lighting, etc.

Cost of finished housing

If price plays a major role for you when choosing the material from which your house will be made, pay attention to Canadian construction technologies. If you order a turnkey house, the price can range from 600,000 rubles to 2.5 million rubles. The price will depend on the size of your building, the number of floors, the complexity of the roof, the number of windows, doors, the presence of a terrace and other nuances. In general, the price of a house for 4 people will be about 1 million rubles.

Great competition between development companies has led to the fact that everyone can choose projects at a suitable price, and a loan or installment plan will make the purchase more convenient. If you have very little money, pay attention to standard projects, which are absolutely no worse than individual ones. You can also choose something from economy class housing. Canadian technology allows you to get such a house for 500-800 thousand rubles.

Canadian houses, so popular in Canada, the northern states of the United States, and other countries with a temperate continental climate, are considered energy efficient, inexpensive and quick to build. Thanks to your technological advantages they can compete with traditional methods construction of private housing made of brick or aerated concrete.

The basic design of Canadian houses is wooden frame based on strong timber. Before installing frame houses using Canadian technology, a reinforced concrete driven or pile-screw foundation is installed.

The frame of a Canadian house consists of vertical wooden supports, which are located at a distance of 60 cm from each other. The distance between the pillars is designed in such a way that the house can be easily clad OSB panels, which strengthen and connect the entire structure. The load-bearing pillars are connected at the top by floor joists 200x50 mm made of calibrated beams.

OSB boards are mounted on beams using standard hardware. The house is insulated using 200mm non-flammable ECO insulation using hydro-vapor barrier membranes. Thanks to the treatment of wood with a fire-bioprotective composition deep penetration finished design reliably protected from fire.

First time idea construction of houses using Canadian technology appeared in 1935 in Madison (Wisconsin, USA). The first panels consisted of two sheets of plywood with a layer of insulation between them. This is how the first houses began to be built using Canadian SIP technology. Over time, plywood was replaced by oriented strand board (OSB or OSB), and polystyrene foam or other similar materials are now used as insulation in a Canadian home.

Modern SIP panels are durable building material, capable of withstanding large structural loads, so ready-made prefabricated houses using Canadian technology are reliable and durable. In addition, Canadian technology makes it possible to build very warm houses. Both of these factors ensure the high popularity of Canadian construction technology in Europe and North America.

Canadian house - reliable, fast and economical construction

Russian SNIP limits the height of a building made of SIP panels to two floors. In the West, panel-frame houses are being built using Canadian technology with a height of up to 9 floors. Thus, it can be argued that the safety margin of Russian houses using SIP technology is significantly higher than that of their Western counterparts. Prefabricated Russip houses are earthquake-resistant and can withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 9.

A warm house using Canadian technology is economically beneficial, since its construction requires significantly less time and labor, and, importantly, heating costs are reduced - a Canadian house warms up quickly and retains heat longer, does not require additional insulation and allows the use of space interior spaces as efficiently as possible.

Canadian house construction technology is notable for the fact that SIP panels take on the entire power load of the house. However, often a Canadian house is built using wooden beams to connect the panels. Thus, the prefabricated house is further strengthened by the resulting frame.

Using Canadian technology, the walls, roof and floor of the house are pre-fabricated at the factory from SIP panels strictly according to the project, using high-precision equipment. This allows you to significantly simplify the construction process, speed up and reduce the cost, eliminate waste of materials, and minimize the risk of human error. Prefab house, manufactured at the Russip plant, is installed at the customer’s site in a short time.

One of the main advantages of prefabricated houses from Russip is the energy-saving and heat-insulating properties of the SIP panel, which ensures a comfortable indoor temperature all year round. Houses using Canadian technology withstand temperature changes from -50 to +50°C. This property allows you to significantly reduce heating costs.

The two-story Canadian house has enormous strength. SIP panels are able to withstand a vertical load of 10 tons and a transverse load of 2 tons per m2 (with a standard of 350 kg per m2). Canadian houses can withstand hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes up to magnitude 9. Plus, Canadian houses are lightweight and do not require a massive foundation.

The service life of Russip houses is at least 100 years. Expanded polystyrene does not absorb moisture and is not subject to rotting; it retains its shape and size for a long time. A wood paneling allows you to keep dry and clean air inside the house. Our prefabricated houses comply with strict international standards environmental safety of residential buildings.

Ready-made prefabricated houses using Canadian Russip technology have 3 degree of fire resistance and can contain the spread of fire for up to one hour. The sandwich panel contains a fire retardant - a substance that protects wood from ignition and gives the material self-extinguishing properties.
