Buildings with - practical and very attractive idea for an individual site. The cost of arrangement of a residential attic is less than on the construction of a full-fledged floor, additional square meters will appear in the house. For the summer cottage, the most optimal option is. Projects, photos of successful interiors and recommendations of experienced builders - in our material.

Even a small attic transforms the facade of the house and make it unique

Under the attic one is understood by residential space under the roof. The roof for the arrangement of a residential attic should have a double slope, such that the height of the attic space was no less human growth at the highest point.

Important!The high ceiling must take at least half of the area. Smaller sizes will cause a person's uncomfortable sensations.

The outer wall of the residential attic consists of two planes: inclined and vertical. The vertical part is built from the main material of the house, inclined - consists of a rafted blood and inner trim.

For your information! Mansard in urban planning standards is considered a residential floor.

During the construction of a private house, many owners think about the question: give preference to the full floor or attic?

Advantages and disadvantages of country houses with an attic: projects with full floor or residential attic?

The main argument in favor of the attic floor is always available to the cheapness of its arrangement. Is it really? Cost reduction is due to the use of the roof skeleton design. In practice, the more roofing and, accordingly, more area of \u200b\u200bthe frame for the trim, the more profitable attic.

But it should be remembered, no matter how spacious is the attic, it in any case takes less useful area than the real floor. It turns out to make an attic room for accommodation, it is necessary to provide such an area of \u200b\u200bthe first floor so that it exceeds the attic minimum twice.

In order to create a normal microclimate in the attic room, it is necessary to provide a ventilation system with forced air supply. All these costs will fall on an additional burden during construction. In fact, savings will not be so significant.

Supporters of mansard construction noted that at home with such "figured" roofs look attractive. And designers add that the arrangement of a residential attic has many original solutions.

The maternity owners do not like when something disappears in vain. Including - an attic space. Some turn it into the landfill of unnecessary things. But in fact, a full-fledged working office can be accommodated here, workshop, bedroom or even a children's room.

Opponents of such an expulsion remind that the active exploitation of space under the roof worsens the state of the roof design and significantly complicates its repair.

Ask a Question

"Psychologists warn that low attic ceilings make a person feel in a closed space, adversely affecting his psyche. Especially impressionable nature can even feel the attacks of suffocation due to low ceilings and beveled walls. It is worth thinking about this fact, planning a children's room in the attic. "

Supporters of a full-fledged second floor lead such a comparison:

Attic	Second floor

Limited in layout by inclined structures	Has full layout options
Complexity with the arrangement of full windows	Lack of problems with the organization of natural lighting
The design of the walls and the ceiling of the attic does not allow to repair the roof freely	Roof maintainability and simplicity of roof design
The need to arrange a complex roof	Using the roof of a simple form
Need for forced ventilation	Using natural ventilation
Strong heating of the room on hot days	Saving the optimal temperature due to the presence of an attic space

Despite all these disputes and disagreements, projects of country houses with an attic and a veranda or garage are very popular. This is not surprising, because the rigorous construction is gaining huge popularity offers many options for such buildings, with great useful areas and various layouts.

The best projects of houses with an attic: photos with drawings

A good project of a residential building should take into account many factors:

the climate of the area in which the construction will be carried out;
features of the soil and landscape of the site;
the combination of house finishes with its surrounding buildings and terrain;
organization of the most comfortable living conditions for all family members taking into account their age and individual queries.

The finished project of the house with an attic is developed by professional architects with the participation of specialists of a narrow profile. It is important to think about not only the location of the rooms, but also the features of the placement of engineering networks.

For the summer cottage, the projects of a small area are suitable, 36 - 40 square meters. This space is quite enough to accommodate the kitchen and a spacious living room on the first floor and two compact bedrooms or a worker in the attic. Houses with an area of \u200b\u200bover 60 square meters accommodate a spacious living room, a bedroom and a kitchen on the first floor and rooms on the second.

For large houses, it would be ideal to build a terrace on which you can get out from the attic floor. From above, a magnificent view of nature will be opened.

Idea! If the house is provided for year-round accommodation, part of the roof can be glazed and use the area for the Winter Garden.

Country house with attic: Planning 6x6

With minimal area is not easy. The project of the country house 6x6 with the attic - the optimal choice. In this case, you do not have 36, but at least 50 square meters of useful area.

If the cottage is needed only for seasonal visits, such space is quite enough for a small family. Over time, the house you can make an extension if the number of family members will increase. What should be taken into account in the project at home with an attic 6x6:

maximum use of each centimeter area;
the number of people at the same time visiting the house;
age of family members;
the frequency of visiting the country area.

When planning at home 6 to 6 with a mansard, it is important to use all the space with maximum benefit. Traditionally, the center has a spacious living room having access to the bathroom and kitchen. All these rooms will completely take the first floor. In order not to be closely, the compact furniture is selected.

The kitchen should have two entrances: from the room and from the yard. Table setting in the summer gazebo will be much simplified, and it will be easier to cook on a hot day, manifest opening out the garden.

In this embodiment, placed in the attic. Here you can make two full bedrooms for owners and children.

For the bathroom enough four square meters. If the cottage is visited only in the summer, the summer shower can be organized in the yard. Lovers shake put on the Balca site. If you do not provide for a shower or bathroom in the house, you can leave three square meters to the toilet. The washing machine at the same time is installed in the kitchen.

Frame houses with an attic (6x6 projects) do not provide internal stairs. They are placed outside. This technique also allows you to significantly save space. For storage of things in the house, compact mezzanine should be provided.

Here is an exemplary plan of the house with an attic 6 to 6:

Specificity planning houses 9 by 9 with attic: Photo of successful solutions

House with a total area of \u200b\u200beighty square meters - a popular project. Builders note that this project has an optimal cost ratio and accommodation. The classic layout includes a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom on the first floor and two more or three rooms on the attic. They can be used as an additional bedroom or organize a workbook, creative workshop and spacious wardrobe.

Another option is the location of the rooms - in the layout of the house 8 to 10 with the attic. Photo Example of such a layout:

What should be aware of the layout of the house 10 for 10 with a attic: photo of the best ideas

One hundred square meters on the first floor and another seventy on the second - in such a house can permanently reside a large family. There is a place for individual rooms to children, bedrooms to parents, an office, a spacious living room and a kitchen. From the side of the house does not look huge. The projects of the house 10x10 with a foam block attitudes make an impression of compactness of placement on the site. But this is exactly the case when an external impression is deceptive.

There is enough space not only to accommodate the bathrooms on each floor, but even for the organization or baths right in the house. A comfortable staircase with a wide pass will make it easily raise bulky furniture.

In such a house, it is usually provided for a separate boiler room. If there is a ground floor in the house from foam blocks, laundry, heating devices, storehouse for storing inventory and home orders are accommodated here.

Even a small attic can be furnished so that it will fit all the most necessary. The inclined planes of the ceilings partially grind the total area, but you can use them for a stylish room design.

Projects of small houses with an attic usually suggest accommodation on the second floor of the bedroom. In the gratitude, it is logical to use the finish with natural wood.

If the attic occupies a significant area, the task is simplified. Niche between rafters can be used as zoning elements. In one - place a bed, to the other - the desktop at the window or a sofa for a rest. To the issue of the placement of the children's room on the attic floor it is necessary to approach especially carefully.

If the attitudes will be located on the attic, it is important to consider the lighting.

The arrangement of a residential attic is most often concerned about the owners of small country cottages. Before deciding to such a project, ask to buy from your friends, owners of such a design. Suddenly you will suddenly feel the attack of claustrophobia or opposite will be impressed by the attic windows through which the clouds can be observed?

Here, if you wish, you can place a wardrobe, creative workshop, boiler room, gym.

Here are the options for organizing an attic space:

Special demand uses the garage and attic. This layout is extremely convenient. Especially this option will be assessed by residents of the northern regions who know what to warm up the car in a frosty day. When the garage is under one roof with the house, even if there is no central heating, the temperature will be significantly higher than on the street. And the car itself will be reliably protected from all weather popsicles.

What do projects of houses with foam blocks look like

Projects of houses with an attic of foam blocks, whose photos are presented to you, are very popular with the developers of individual housing. The reasons for such a demand is that at home from this material are very functional and looks thoroughly and luxurious. The cost of erection of such a design is lower than the cost of building a brick house.

The modern attic roof is a great opportunity without unnecessary trouble to significantly expand the living area of \u200b\u200byour home. But, if you attract builders to work, it can fly to a penny. It is quite clear that each of us was thinking about the question, whether everything can be done independently without experience. We assure the attic roof with your own hands - it is more than real. We offer you an exhaustive instruction.

Currently the best option is a malnutrope. She is quite spacious and can really become a full-fledged residential room with a large area. Naturally, for this you need to produce accurate calculations.

The construction of an attic roof will require you to take into account the set of factors before. We list the main.

Video about the roof of the house do it yourself

It is quite clear that the less the angle of inclination, the more useful space will be on your attic. But far from always need to strive for the most common placement. Let us list some of the choices:

If your home is located on the territory with a temperate climate, where often windy weather, and the snow is rare, you can safely make the roof with a small slope;
In the event that snowfall and livne are a frequent phenomenon for your locality, you should refuse from the roof;
Do not forget that you need to take care of high-quality heat, sound and waterproofing. The attic is such a residential premises, like the rest of the rooms in your home;
The best materials for roofing - tile or slate. Many mistakenly put a metal coating, but with the arrival of cold weather, they face the problems of heat-saving on the attic. Please note that materials must be refractory and moisture-resistant. The roof always consists of wooden elements. For better safety, it is recommended to process all such surfaces by antifungal solution;
The outer staircase for the attic will save space in the house. The inner staircase is the option much more comfortable, but there is a lot of space. Excellent if you take care of the installation of the ceiling staircase. She practically does not occupy space. As an alternative, you can install a screw staircase, but its convenience is often questionable.

Outdoor staircase for attic will save space in the house

To begin with, you will need wooden beams 10x10 cm in cross section. They are superimposed on top of waterproofing. The best material for it is rubberoid or only sold in rolls. It is quite convenient to work with them and you will not need any additional skills. If your overlap is also made of wood, then the extra timber is not necessary for the main beams.
The next step is to install racks on the beams. You will do the same bar with a cross section of 10x10 cm. These racks are a kind of skeleton of the walls of your attic. So that they fully perform their functions, it is necessary to put them at no further than two meters from each other. Watch that each of them stood perfectly smoothly. Each recommended to be treated with the level and, if necessary, to maintain in the right places. When the racks are installed, they must be seen on both sides. For the inside, the excellent option is plasterboard or ordinary plywood, for exterior - hill. It is important not to forget at this stage to lay the insulation between the racks. Each rack is separately fixed with spikes and brackets. So at the same time they do not lean, we recommend temporary disclosures to secure them.
Next lay down the upper timber. Its cross section should be the same as in the preceding points. You can fasten it as it will be convenient. But take care that the beams keep firmly and firmly.

Each rack is separately fixed with spikes and brackets.

Now you need to install Mauerlat. This is a kind of support for a rapid leg, which is located at the bottom of the design. For Mauerlat you will need a bar with a cross section of 40x40 cm or a board with the same thickness. Thanks to Mauerlat, high strength fastening of the roof rafters to the walls will be ensured. It allows you to redirect the weight of the roof directly on the walls. More than 40 cm cross section to take optional. All the same Mauerlat lies right on the wall and the load on it is relatively small. Just do not forget to put waterproofing under it, otherwise it will start rotting over time.
A qualitatively fixed Mauerlat protects your roof from wind exposure, snowy mass in winter and other loads. Therefore, make sure that it has been fixed carefully. To do this, you can use a wire with a diameter of up to 5 mm. It is best to choose an annealed wire, which is just intended for strapping. In order for the walls to be more durable, the wire is fitted directly in them.
Now you need to install rafting legs. Marking on the rafter frame and Mauerlate in places where the rafters will be installed. Usually, the step is 1-1.2 m. For the rafter you will fit the board with a cross section of 4-5 cm and a width of 15 cm. Choose only perfectly smooth boards. It is better to overpay a little money for them, but to be confident, the remedy of the attic will not be for you the cause of the roof of the attic.

For the rafter you will suit the board with a cross section of 4-5 cm and a width of 15 cm

Stropile legs should rely on the skate beam. If your attic has a large area, then the weight of her roof will be great. Therefore, the beam is a mandatory element of the design. It is not needed only if the length of the rafter is less than eight meters. In this case, you can do conventional stretch marks.
Installing the mare. Put it on the same scheme as rafters. To simplify the process, start with two extremes, pull the twine between them and then at it when installing the following.
Now it is necessary to kill the board of the pet. It will become an obstacle for wind and almost any precipitation.
Before making an attic roof, you must think where the windows will be installed. Remember that their area should occupy at least 12-13% of the side walls area. Where you decide to put the windows, you need to strengthen rafters. To do this, install the crossbar. They will take on the role of the lower and upper part of the opening, where the window frame will be installed and attached.

Before making an attic roof, you must consider where the windows will be installed

When the previous ten items are executed, you need to thoroughly double-check everything that is done. Already at this stage you will understand how to make a roof with an attic without any problems, but you always need to be reinsured. Especially in the event that you do it for the first time.

Carefully walk through all the rafters and beams, check whether they really are tightly and securely, whether there is a heater everywhere, whether it is not necessary to modify the problem areas. It will be better if you ask someone from more experienced builders, to evaluate the eye, whether everything is done as it is necessary. Remember that the roof in your home should be safe and strong. But if everything is fine and the design holds securely, you can proceed to further work:

You have already created the skeleton of the roof. Now you need to nail the racks of the crate to the rafters. The step depends on what roofing material you will choose for your roof.
When the cutter is installed, you need to install a hydrobarier. In most cases, the usual polyethylene film is best suited for this. It is inexpensive worth it, qualitatively protects the attic from moisture ingress inside and is easily attached with the help of construction brackets. The main thing is that you need to remember - the layers of the film must be laid downside up with the allen layers on each other.
On top of the film, it is necessary to put the heat insulating layer. One of the best materials that serves for these purposes is Mineral Wat. It is lightweight, perfectly keeps heat and is completely safe for your health, unlike many other heat-insulating materials. In addition, it effectively prevents the spread of rodents in your home.

Over the film, it is necessary to put the heat insulating layer

When you reach the roof, proceed by the same scheme as in the case of a plastic film. The roofing ball also falls upwards, and the elements are superimposed on each other. Keep track that in those places where the roof is located, the top ball of the roof performed above the bottom. It is very important. Otherwise, with the slightest rain, your roof will leak, and the design will gradually buys.
Installation of the skate must occur in such a way that its design completely eliminates the possibility of falling under the roof of your roof.

Completion of mounting

The main part of the work came to an end. It is recommended to make mansard roofs multi-layer so that they provide better heat, noise and waterproofing of the entire attic. Do not forget that the attic must "breathe". Modern windows and doors are an integral element of any such roof.

If you have not fully decided on the installation of the ladder, then it is better to install external to begin. So it will be cheaper and easier. In any case, if you feel that this option does not suit you, it will be possible to make the staircase indoors in the room, sacrificing the space in the house.

Now you know how to build a roof in all the rules and not resort to the help of the dear brigade of builders. Best patience, select high-quality materials and tools, and then act by our instructions. Good luck!

If you have a country house, then you probably have repeatedly thought about turning the attic room into a cozy attitude. This is an excellent alternative to the construction of the second floor. The attic of her hands will significantly expand the living area, increase the number of rooms, change the appearance of the house. It can be used as an office, a nursery, to equip a winter garden, a place for suites with friends ... How to build a attic and implement these dreams - read in this article.

Mansard or attic floor - room built under the roof of the house. This concept introduced the French architect Francois Mansar, who in the XVII century came up with an appointment of the attic. And today, the attic is actively used to expand residential space, improving the comfort of the house.

Construction of mansard with their own hands: Stages

In order for the attic floor to become functional, it must be built or re-equipped. The construction of the attic is a complex technological process that requires accurate calculations, it is not for everyone. The construction of the attic consists of such stages:

dismantling the old roofing system;
strengthening wall structures;
insulation and waterproofing of the room;
construction of end walls;

What you need to know before making the attic do it yourself

There are general rules. The attic of the attic is preferably planning at the design stage of the house. It will provide an opportunity to make it possible to calculate its supporting structures and properly organize a construction site. If the house with an attic is based on the finished drawing, it provides for the use of additional fortifications.

Scheme of the roof of the attic floor, building houses from a bar

But on the finished house there can be a superstructure of an attic type. In which case, you can complete the attic floor?

If the construction of this room in the finished house is assumed, several important factors should be taken into account. The construction of the attic requires not only compliance with a certain technology of work, but also assessing the state of the house before the construction. It is necessary to carry out a calculation that will show whether the house will withstand the extension. The foundation and wall walls are checked.

If it is an old house, then the walls of the design of the Old, they will not stand the weight of the attic floor. The old foundation during the construction of an attic design can give cracks and "swim".

Construction of the attic floor with their own hands is also not recommended on buildings built of bricks and foam blocks. The reason is that these are very fragile materials from which carrier walls cannot be laid.

Important: At the design stage, the remoteness of all communications from the attic floor should be provided. Also at this stage are determined with the design of the roof, its elements, the appearance, so that it is harmoniously combined with the house.

The construction project should include insulation and decoration of the attic floor. An extension should be high quality is isolated so that it remains heat in it, and the design itself can breathe.

How to make a mansard with your own hands

The devices of the attic floor requires the use of the following materials:

wall panels for covering the ends of the building;
bays for the construction of a mansard roof;
wooden crossbars;
roofing material for roof;
insulation for walls and scope roofing;
insulating materials;

Note: Materials for construction should be easy in order not to lose overlap between floors.

Design

Construction of a tree attic begins with project development. At the design stage, it is calculated, the choice of roofing.

Roof construction

The built room can be triangular, broken, asymmetric shape, occupy space over the whole house, or only over it. It depends on the type of roof.

The simplest design is a single one. It is a plane recorded on the bearing walls of different heights, and inclined one way.

Building attic with your own hands - Single-sided design

The most common is a two-sheet roof, which consists of two inclined planes, unparalleled in opposite sides.

Cozy Duscal Roof Country House

There is also a broken design of the attic. It is used in small houses and consists of two or more parts that form a broken line.

The broken roof is used to increase the attic room, or in decorative purposes.

It is found in the construction of country houses and a four-piece roof.

The roof having four slopes makes an attic design convenient for living

To give the house of the original form build complex conical, dome and pyramidal roofs.

Tip: When choosing a roof design in the construction process, it must be taken into account its load on the foundation. It is also important to comply with the uniform stylist finishing the roof of the attic floor and at home so that it meets the constructive and operational requirements.

An attic roof can be any form. It is mounted on a special framework, built with the desired parameters of the future room.

As a rule, the roof is stacked on the frame with an angle of the 530-60 and the corner of the roof, the ceiling and walls in itself.

The optimal option is the bartal broken roof, which provides more living space. For its construction, inclined rafter systems are used, the fastening of which is made on the walls of the building. They must be strong enough in order to withstand the vertical and horizontal load.

On a note: It may take the construction of additional inner walls that will be used as bearing structures that provide the roof support.

Build the attic - the overall construction of the structure

The rafting system is the roof frame. In the future, it is fixed with the crate and the finish coating is mounted. The construction framework is treated with special means to protect against fire, moisture.

If the installation of the attic initially did not enter the project of the house, you should take care of the installation of the stairs, windows, as well as the heat and sound insulation of the room.

To preserve heat in the house, tile, slate, plastic coatings should be used as roofing material.

Important: Work on the construction of an attic floor requires high professionalism and deep knowledge of construction technology. The construction of the attic roof with their own hands, without the experience of performing this kind of work, may have unwanted consequences.

Glazing

The phased construction of the roof provides for the installation of windows on the attic floor. They are vertical and scanty. The angle of their inclination should coincide with the roof slope. The windows are located at an altitude of 70 cm, 1 m from the floor.

Installation of pitches allows you to skip more light into the room on the top floor, besides, at night, the beautiful view of the starry sky

The choice of windows for the built attic depends entirely on the preferences of the home owner, but one should not forget that they should be high quality.

When the room is built and installed windows, the attic floor is connected to the rest of the residential premises using a staircase and finishing work.

Mansard Construction - Options

In a short time, a frame of attic can be erected with their own hands.

It can be built simultaneously with the construction of a house from a tree or from a bar.

Outcome

The attic floor in many houses has long ceased to empty - it began to use it as an additional functional room. To complete the attic in the house, or at the cottage with their own hands will give the opportunity to get a full-fledged floor, which can be used at its discretion.

It is difficult today to submit a planning at home without having attic. It is also built in old buildings, adding the living space, instead of an obsolete attic.

When creating a new building, the issue with the construction of the attic is solved in advance in the project. If the construction of the attic is performed independently in the old house, then it is necessary to carefully study all the requirements for reconstruction or to an extension in the ready-made building.

What is Manzarda

The attic is a residential premises, resembling a attic that is formed on the upper floors of houses with a mansard roof. Evaluate the attic on their own by any person who has special skills in the construction process.

Under the attic floor, the floor is understood in the attic, the facade of which is entirely or partially formed by the surfaces of the inclined or broken roof. In fact, there is a full-fledged residential room inside the building.

To reduce the burden on the already erected structure, with the construction work of the attic floor, lightweight materials and structures are carried out. An indispensable in these affairs is a tree. Attic is independently built of wood, for this purpose, bars, logs or frame-shield technology are applied.

Types of mansard

Types of duplex roofs: options for the purpose of the structure

The shape of the attic room depends on. Mansard can cover the territory of the whole building or only part of it. The premises with it are symmetric or asymmetric. Form is often triangular or broken. True, not every roof is designed for the construction of the attic.

Dersighted roofing is the following types:

1-scope;
2-scope;
broken;
walm;
tent (pyramidal, round, conical shape).

Consider detail:

Single roofing is built quite infrequently. Due to the high difference between the height of the walls, such an attic will be asymmetric and it will be difficult to install the windows.
The bartal roof often implies the arrangement of the attic symmetrical. It will have sloped inner walls. During the construction of this roof, elongated boards are used, which will come out. True, the indicators of the operation of this roof is quite high. Serious advantage is that with such a roof, it is possible to install full-fledged windows and doors, along which there is a balcony.
Broken roof. Mansard will have vertical walls. The width in the width itself reaches more than 5 m. The material is consumed for this type of roofing much less than for a bantal.
Walm roof makes it possible to create a comfortable and small attic of the attic. It includes 2 slopes that have the shape of a trapezoid and triangle. Windows are on the ceiling slots.
Tent roof is also used to build attic. Windows must have a special form and are made according to individual projects.

All listed types of designs have their own advantages and disadvantages. Symmetric structures have a more simple scheme, there are no complex calculations in the project, compared with the installation of asymmetric coatings.

What is necessary for construction

It should be understood that the construction of the attic is a rather complicated process. Here it is necessary to have appropriate experience and construction skills. Before construction work, it should be carefully examined by all the features of the design of the attic floor, installation methods, as well as situations where it is not possible to complete it.

Materials, Tools and Project

To raise the attic need such materials:

brucks made of wood (the dimensions of the section range depending on the size of the structure and the angle of the slope of the skate);
wood boards for crate;
material to sew end walls;
fastening for mounting roofing;
thermal insulation;
waterproofing;
material for the internal finishing of the attic.

To build a attic independently need the following tool:

screwdriver;
a hammer;
level;
roulette;
lace;
saw for wood work.

Design is considered one of the most important elements of work, since without its presence, the construction process itself does not advise.

If you do not care about this stage, you can easily lose sight of any detail that requires large financial resources to eliminate the error. Previously before the construction of the attic, it will be necessary to make a thorough analysis of the features of the planning of the room, which is subject to re-equipment.

Well-known requirements that serve as a template for construction are in SNiP. In addition, it is necessary to consider such details:

Geometric features of the roof.
Creating conditions for the joint functioning of the roof engineering systems and other parts of the house.
Selection of proper material for construction work.
Roof of a mansard floor. Mansards with round clock roofs need special waterproofing and special insulation.

Construction of mansardes

The planning of the attic can be carried out both in the construction work process and during the construction of the attic already at a ready-made building. Previously, thoroughly check the base of the construction.

It is extremely important to competently calculate the load of the attic on the building, since the quality of the attic will depend on this factor and the overall condition of all housing will depend on.

Detailed step-by-step instructions

Horry roof

First it is necessary that there are beams of wood. They should be applied on top of the waterproofing material. The optimal belongs to the runneroid or only rolls sold. When working with them, you will not need any specialized skills. In the case of creating a wooden overlap, there is no need to install auxiliary bar.
Next are mounted racks on the beams. They are a specific core of the walls of the attic. For the best functioning, they should be put no further than 2 m between them. Each rack must be installed smoothly. After installation, they are recommended to stern from two sides. You must not forget to carry out the insulation laying in the middle of the racks. Each rack is necessary individually to secure with spikes and brackets.
Then the laying of the upper bar occurs. It is fixed in any convenient way. It is important that the beams should be strong and durable.
Following set. Thanks to it, it provides a high level of strength of fasteners rafted roofing to the wall. He will give the opportunity to direct the weight of the roof on the walls. Since Mauerlat is located on the wall - the load on it is small. The main thing is not to forget to put a layer of waterproofing under it, in order to avoid further rotting.
If Maurylalat is highly fixed, it will protect the roof from the influence of wind, snow in winter. To secure it, an annealed wire with a diameter of up to 0.5 cm is used.
Next are set rafters. There is a markup on the rafter frame and Mauerlate in the place where the installation of the rafter feet will be. For rafters, only boards with a perfectly smooth surface are suitable.
The rafters are based on the skate beam. If the attic is large enough in the area, then, of course, the weight of the whole roof will become big. Thanks to this, the beam is considered a mandatory part of the design. If the rafter legs are less than 8 m long, then conventional stretching will be quite useful.
Installation of kills. It is carried out similarly to the same method as the rafting legs.
Then to the lumps should be knocked down the board of the heater. It will prevent the influence of wind and actually any natural precipitation.
Previously before installing the roof, you need to decide where the windows will be mounted. Their total area is at least 13-14% of the side walls. In the place of installation of windows, it is necessary to strengthen the rafting legs. For these purposes, transverse bars are installed.

Additional work

In order that the attic has had a long service life, it is necessary to carry out a number of additional work related to the increase in its impact to the effects of mechanical and natural natural factors.

Warming and waterproofing

With independent creation of an attic roof, its insulation plays an important role. The implementation of these works begins after mounting the rafted. The area of \u200b\u200bdusting with the environment is quite large, therefore, we need a high-quality insulation (for example, mineral wool). Directly insulation protects on both sides. Inside can penetrate steam, and outside the water. The most popular material is the membrane film.
From outside, where the ventilated air layer is located, the insulation is protected by waterproofing, windproof vapor-permeable membrane. Use for installation in the roof either attic, as waterproofing and windproof membrane, materials that are simultaneously vapor insulation is impossible. Installation of waterproofing and windproofs are made on top of a rafted roof. Waterproofing is attached to them using wooden bars or stapler. Waterproofing joints after installation are thoroughly skidded with scotch. Waterproofing is established in order to ensure the protection of the insulation from high humidity from atmospheric precipitation, which fall into the gaps during wind gusts, as well as from condensate on the other side of the roof.
It is necessary to thoroughly equip the ventilation of the attic floor. Since now this residential premises must create appropriate conditions for housing. The main problem with its microclimate is the heat coming from the lower floors and is the reason that condensate is accumulated on the insulation. Condensate adversely affects it on and can lead to rotting and destruction. To protect it add a vapor insulation layer. If condensate accumulates the heat insulation layer anyway, you should think about the forced ventilation system.

Finishing works of attic with plasterboard

To begin with roofing rods and frontones, after separating the ceiling. To obey the roofs of the roof on the rafter legs horizontally mounted bars with a step in 1 m, then the horizontal bars are mounted in the intervals.

The next step will be the measurement of drywall on specified dimensions and its subsequent assembly. Pretty simple, but at the same time a rather laborious process. When all completed all the gaps and gaps should be sealing.

Mansard finishing works with clapboard

Finishing work under the tree is fairly in demand for the attic, and the installation itself is low on. It is cut down at the necessary height and nails on the wooden base using nails on the joints, because the hat will not be visible.

It is necessary after each sheet of the lining inspecting its position using the level, otherwise the risk of a large skew will appear at the end of the wall. When the installation of the lining is over, it must be covered with several layers of varnish.

The choice of the optimal embodiment of the attic roof increases the living area in the building. A variety of roof designs can be installed not only in the construction process, but also with the reconstruction of the structure. In the last embodiment, it is necessary to calculate the ability of the base and walls to withstand additional loads.
The design of the mansard roof provides for the installation of the system of rafters from thoroughly dried wooden bars. To perform structural elements use the bars of various sections. Montage of the attic is made using light and safe material.
The insulation of the attic indoors, which is under the roof, rather loses heat than the lower floors. Because of this roofing should include a reliable insulation. It is installed in the middle of an external waterproofing layer and vaporizolation from the room. Qualitatively made pie ensures the long operational period of the entire roofing system. Natural wood is most often used for the interior decoration of the attachment of the attic. But the walls of the walls and the ceiling can be performed by other sheet materials, including plasterboard.

Damage floor Nowadays - a mandatory element of modern private buildings. Between the roof and the last floor of the house you can arrange a bathroom and a bedroom, and an office. The area and configuration of such rooms will be primarily dependent on the type of roof.

Make a attic with their own hands is a completely simple process if you carefully examine all the nuances of the building process, as well as comply with all the requirements and advice of the specialists described above.

In this case, all adverse consequences in the construction of attic and other troubles will pass you. Do not hurry, do everything alternately and the result will justify all expectations.

The attic does not necessarily be used as a place to store unnecessary things. Very often, the area of \u200b\u200bthis room allows you to equip a full-fledged residential area on it or a family leisure place, or a hobby. The idea of \u200b\u200bsuch construction is successfully applied from the mid-XVII century thanks to the French architect Francois Manzar and especially relevant to increase the area of \u200b\u200bthe private house, and sometimes, and city apartments.

How to obume the attic, what activities should it be done and how to build a attic where it has never been? Look for answers to these questions in our article.

We build a mansard

The attic of the attic will help significantly reduce the cost of construction as a whole, rationally use the existing floor space and implement the most bold ideas. The attic floor can occupy both the attic and its part, depending on the destination of the future room: bedroom, office, office or bathroom.

Cozy attic do it yourself

The construction of the attic also gives the following advantages:

The infrastructure of the main building is fully used.
Significantly increases the living space.
Reducing heat loss through the roof and as a result is a decrease in energy consumption in the cold season.
Relatively simple installation (without the use of special equipment) and the possibility of staying in the house during construction.
The possibility of erection of one or two-level floor.

How to make an attic unique architectural element

Important: During the construction of an attic floor, you need to take into account the design features of the building, including: the height of the walls, the shape of the roof, the location of communications - and comply with the requirements of fire safety.

Features of the construction of a nursery floor

The roof is a protective construction that, in addition to precipitation and temperature drops, is exposed to exposure to inside: heat and moisture from the dwelling, and they can cause dampness and corrosion. Therefore, in the construction of an attic floor, very stringent requirements for hydro, steam and thermal insulation of the roof are put on, which will ensure reliable protection of the room from negative factors.

How to isolate the attic floor during construction

Also during the construction of an attic floor it is important to take care of the quality ventilation, which is established between the insulation and the roof. This will ensure the removal of unnecessary moisture and the ventilation of the attic.

Special attention should be paid to the construction technologies and materials used in this case (especially their weight) - this will ensure the safe operation of the attic floor in the future. In addition, you should not forget that the use of an attic floor as a residential premises does not relieve compliance with the technical requirements for the operation of the roof.

Where to start construction?

Before construction, a technical examination of the building is carried out. It is worth remembering that initially the walls and the foundation of the structure were calculated for a certain load, and the construction of an additional floor would significantly increase it, therefore it is necessary to make sure of their bearing ability.

Design

The next stage of construction will be the development and approval of the Damage Floor project - it is better to refer to qualified specialists who will help draw up a competent drawing, calculate the loads and estimates.

Important: If the construction of the attic is carried out in the urban art with their own hands, then it is necessary to obtain the resolution of the city authorities, the expert opinion and the consent of all owners of the building.

The plan of the attic floor is developed on the basis of the layouts of the main building, the geometry of the roof plays the dominant role. The architectural appearance of the house will influence not only the design of the rafter system, but also on materials used in construction and individual elements of the attic. All designs and details should be easier as possible, which will provide a minimum load on the walls of the building and will provide an easy lift of materials onto the floor.

If the roof of the house has a great bias, then the choice of roofing materials, insulation and waterproofing during the construction of the attic floor it is worth it particularly carefully.

In addition, all the communications of the attic floor must be interconnected with systems in the house, their joint work should be ensured.

The form of the room, as well as its dimensions, determine the choice of windows, their design and placement in the interior.

Building Mansarda

Regardless of whether the construction of the attic is carried out with their own hands, the photo below, on the already existing attic or is erected from scratch, it is necessary to ensure the unity of architectural and design solutions.

You can suck a wooden attic on a brick house

The design of the attic is better to perform from wood (from a bar) or a metal profile, in addition, it is possible to complete the floor from the panels, as in the photo below. Stone materials, including brick and concrete, are not recommended to be used in construction due to their greater weight. In the extreme case, you can use blocks from aerated concrete.

For the roof, durable, but lightweight materials, such as: Proflists, bituminous or composite tile, metal tile.

Since the attic has a large surface area of \u200b\u200bcontact with the environment and significant heat loss occurs through the roof, it is necessary to take care of the high-quality and effective thermal insulation of this floor. For insulation, it is best to use minvatu or fiberglass thick from 150 mm. From the inside of the attic floor, the insulation must be closed with a parobarrier, and from the roof side - waterproofing. In addition, between waterproofing and roof, it is necessary to arrange a ventilation system that will ensure the removal of excessive moisture.

Since the attic is a residential premises, it needs natural lighting, to provide windows that will help. This can be as conventional vertical window structures that are mounted into the walls, or special inclined windows, installed in the roof plane at an angle of 15-90 degrees.

Mansard windows - expensive but efficiently

Important: Downtown windows pass more light compared to standard with a smaller opening area. To ensure the most efficient and uniform lighting, the ratio of windows area to the floor area should be 1:10.

The final stage of the devices of the attic floor will be finishing work. The easiest option for lining the walls of the attic floor is drywall, internal partitions can be constructed from it. The sheets of GLC are attached to a frame of metal products, after which they can apply the finish coating: paint, wallpaper, etc. In addition to plasterboard walls, the wall can be seen by clapboard, wooden panels - the choice of material depends on the destination and design of the future attic. For sex, the same materials that are used throughout the building are suitable: parquet, laminate, floorboard, ceramic tile, etc.

At the end of construction, you can make a design: think over the interior, install the stairs, arrange furniture, etc.

Dersighted floor superstructure

The superstructure of the attic floor allows you to simply and effectively increase the living space without the use of expensive equipment and complex technologies, and such construction can be carried out both in a private house and in the city building of a typical building. The cost of completion is approximately half of the cost of new construction. The design can be wooden - from logs and timber; stone - from foam blocks, brick and concrete; Metal, as well as their all possible combinations.

Monolithic attic can have any form

It is necessary to determine which part of the building structure will carry the load from the extension. If the strength of the walls and the foundation is not enough, it will take to install outside the racks on a separate foundation that will support the attic floor. The new mandatory framework on an independent foundation is also needed in an old house if the supporting structures have significant wear. It will not be able to change the attic overlap, since it is most likely not designed for greater load.

The attic of the attic implies the construction of a power structure, which depends on the rafting roof system. For the construction of this design it is better to use lightweight materials: thin-walled profile and wood. They will help speed up construction, since the mount is carried out at the expense of bolts and rivets. The optimal angle of the sling of the rafter should be 45-60 degrees.

Important: In the manufacture of the rafter system, it is necessary to focus on the conditions of the area where construction is produced. The carrying capacity of the roof must be designed for wind pressure, snow and roofing material.

The roofs themselves, drawing below, can be:

Single.
Two-tight.
Broken.
Valm.

1 - simple two-tight roof; 2 - two-tight roof with an attic wall; 3 - Walm; 4 - four-page

The last two types are best suited for attic, but the final choice is determined by the intensity of the load acting on the coating.

During construction, it should be noted that the width of the room should not be less than 4.5 m, and the area of \u200b\u200bthe entire attic floor is not less than 7 m2, while the ratio of height and square ideally is 1: 2.

The easiest option of construction is the construction of a mock mansard with your own hands. For the installation of the attic, it is necessary to eliminate the old roof, study the state of the supporting structures for damage and develop a floor circuit. After that, the foundation and frame of the attic is mounted. Then the installation and insulation of the roof is made.
