What features do aerated concrete attic spaces have?
Modern houses built from aerated concrete blocks are distinguished by a variety and originality of designs. They are especially unique in attics, which you can pay attention to, even if the object is at a great distance from us. In this regard, when planning to build a house with an attic, it is necessary to carefully consider the design of all elements.
The attic space of the house is formed by various geometric shapes of the roof: broken; triangular; symmetrical; asymmetrical. The attic space can cover both the entire width of the house, and be located on the right and left sides relative to the longitudinal axis of the building. With a broken shape of the roof surface, various slopes of the upper and lower parts are made. Reinforced concrete, wooden or metal load-bearing structures serve as the basis for attic spaces.
The facade of the attic should perform the same functions as the facade of the entire building as a whole. Due to the cellular structure of aerated concrete blocks, the walls will retain their breathability, and the facing correctly selected and executed at a high professional level will retain the operational properties of the facade throughout the entire period of operation of the facility. Cladding materials must also be of high quality and suitable for climatic conditions.
When erecting a house with an attic, the funds spent on construction work, as well as on the subsequent operation of the building, are significantly saved. An increase in usable living space with a simultaneous decrease in the building area of a land plot allows a larger number of residents to be accommodated in such a house, this is especially applicable in the case of several families living in a building. Optimization of heat losses makes it possible to reduce the costs associated with heating, while the attic space must be designed with maximum thermal efficiency in mind. It is also worth noting the reduction in the total length of the foundation during the construction of the house, since approximately forty percent of the land area is saved.
With regard to the appearance of the building, an improvement in aesthetics and uniqueness of design can be noted in comparison with typical projects of private houses. The increased speed of construction of houses from aerated concrete makes it possible to implement such projects in the shortest possible time.
