If in the ancient centuries the houses were built mainly of natural stone (this was available a few) or wood, today there are many options, materials on the market, from which you can build a house and not only. Everyone chooses materials to their taste, taking into account their financial capabilities.
The most durable and durable materials.
The most durable, reliable and durable materials to perform such a task are, of course, a stone, brick, concrete blocks. For the construction of frame walls, a new material is sometimes used – cement -steering plates (CSP). These materials differ in a relatively high price, but their service life exceed most other materials. These materials are also valued for fire resistance and practicality.
There are small disadvantages of using these materials: they absorb moisture, so after completing construction to good drying in the house, dampness is worth. It is also bad that if the soil under construction is very wet, you have to lay an expensive and deep foundation, otherwise cracks will appear in the walls over time.
Environmental materials for construction.
The warmest and most environmentally friendly house will be made of wood. The advantages of such materials are that they are cheaper, have low thermal conductivity, create a cozy and healthy atmosphere in the house. Brusy walls, for example, are quite easy to work, are resistant to deformation.
The disadvantages of wooden building materials are that they are afraid of fire are often attacked by insects. The tree is less durable than the stones, over time, wooden structures change shape, dry out and deformed.
Unique ways to build houses from improvised materials.
The cheapest materials for building a house are unnecessary used materials or natural gifts. Sometimes people amaze with their imagination, restless enthusiasm, representing the most unexpected options, from which you can build a house. For such construction options, people are decided out of curiosity, out of desire to become famous, and from economical motives. There are experiments for the construction of houses made of glass bottles, they build cottage houses from a block frame with insulation, from clay.
People are building unique walking houses from improvised materials. For example, Fedor Kazmin from the Altai Territory surprised everyone by building a house from reeds. The frame, however, made from the bars, the bars bent reeds (in two layers). The void between the layers filled clay, the walls later lined with brick.
American scientists Gavin Mcyntair and Eben Bayer erected a house of mushrooms. Mushroom panels consisted of water, spores of oyster mushrooms, flour, perlite (found in humus mineral).
