Beautiful houses from foam blocks. Overview of simple projects of houses from foam concrete blocks
One of the most successful construction alternatives brick cottages the use of foam block materials is considered. They cost an order of magnitude cheaper, weigh less and are easier to install, but at the same time, the wall initially turns out to be well insulated and soundproofed due to the porous structure. That is why foam block house projects are so popular with developers today.
Advantages of foam block house projects
The variety of configurations of typical project plans is associated with the peculiarity of the material itself. It can be easily cut to shape or dimensions, so even the most complex architectural elements can be erected with ease.
Comparing projects of houses and cottages made of foam blocks, you need to pay attention to the following nuances:
- number of storeys - on a small plot it is always more profitable to build 2 floors or provide for the presence of an attic in the design plan, this will significantly increase the usable area and get 2-3 additional rooms;
- the presence of additional premises - the cottage can have a spacious garage or a sauna with a pool on the basement floor, the entrance to them is done directly from the house itself, which is convenient in winter;
- the location and purpose of the premises - if there is an elderly person in the family, then a bedroom for him should be provided on the first floor, so he does not often have to climb the stairs;
- glazing option - today large panoramic windows are popular, they let in a maximum of sunlight from the streets into the room, but the main thing is to use insulated double-glazed windows with 4-6 cameras;
- the number of bathrooms and toilets - for a large family there should be at least 2 of them, and in order to reduce the cost of engineering Communication, place them on one common riser.
If the site is too narrow or generally has a non-standard shape, then it is better to choose a project plan, where the technical premises will be located inside, and the living quarters around them.
Features of a foam block house
Lightweight aerated concrete has a high load-bearing capacity. At the same time, there are many air bubbles inside it, which can significantly reduce the heat transfer of the wall. This allows the owner of suburban real estate to spend less money for heating in winter.
Foam blocks have a minimum load on the foundation, so there is no need to pour a strong concrete base for real estate construction. It is quite enough insulated reinforced concrete slabs or piles if a site with complex soils is selected.

Why foam concrete? This material has many advantages: low price, environmental friendliness, high heat and sound insulation properties, light weight, smooth surface, ease of laying, processing, resistance to temperature extremes. The use of foam concrete blocks allows you to significantly increase the pace of construction and finishing work, to reduce the total cost of building a construction object.

New materials are constantly appearing on the construction market. The foam block can hardly be considered as an absolute beginner in this area, although, of course, the history of its use is not as rich as that of brick or wood. Foam concrete acts as a raw material for the manufacture of foam blocks. It is used for the manufacture of various products, but still the most famous of them is precisely the building material in question.
At the moment, it is actively used in the construction of residential buildings, auxiliary buildings, interior partitions, as well as in the process of facing real estate in the low-rise sector. It is not difficult to explain the huge demand for foam blocks. It is enough just to list their main advantages.
Consumers are first of all struck by the fact that foam blocks have a relatively low cost. This becomes especially clear when taking into account the dimensions of the blocks themselves, which are more impressive than those that are characteristic of bricks. A large size, by the way, can also be added to this material in the pros.
But at the same time, the weight of the foam blocks is quite modest. The reason for this is that the structure of the foam concrete from which this material is made is porous. Due to the large number of air bubbles, the mass of the foam concrete is reduced, and the insulating characteristics are increased. For this reason, foam blocks can be used as a fairly reliable material for heat and sound insulation.
It should only be noted that foam blocks are suitable for the construction of only small buildings, the height of which does not exceed three floors. The reason for this is that, due to the porous structure, foam concrete is not able to be strong enough to withstand heavy loads. Moreover, you cannot use it to lay the foundation.

When choosing a material for the external and internal walls of residential buildings, foam concrete blocks are considered as budget option... Their working and operational characteristics cannot be classified as universal, but taking into account all the features at the stage of preparation, you can quickly get a reliable, warm and non-shrinking structure. Prices for the construction of such houses are 14,000 rubles / m2 for a box and from 19,000 for turnkey construction. The dimensions and weight of the blocks allow you to carry out the masonry yourself, the same applies to most of the other stages, but the design and drawing up of the reinforcement scheme is trusted by specialists.
Foam concrete is valued for its lightness, fire safety, good thermal insulation properties and ability to absorb noise, lack of deformation and shrinkage processes. The main advantages include the reasonable price of the products themselves, the simplicity of their masonry and decoration. With the correct calculation of the walls and the exclusion of cold bridges, it does not need additional insulation. If the latter is necessary (due to living in a harsh climatic zone, for example), the thickness of the outer layer of the heat insulator will be minimal. The material allows the walls to breathe, there are no toxins in its composition, as a result, its use provides a good microclimate in the house.
Design considerations include low tensile strength, the need for protection from external moisture, and good permeability due to the cellular structure. Foam concrete blocks optimal in low-rise construction, to ensure reliable operation, the structures are reinforced: longitudinally after 2-3 rows and in areas with high loads: openings, a belt for tying a Mauerlat or installing floor beams. The durability is 50-70 years, the performance is largely dependent on the quality of production. The last factor is considered the main drawback, checking the certificate when purchasing material is a mandatory step.
Brief description of projects
A simple house made of foam blocks with an attic and a garage, if desired, a glazed terrace is added to the scheme. The main advantage is compactness: on a limited rectangular plot of 68 m2 there is a spacious living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, separate bathroom and toilet. The attached 3 × 7 garage is designed for parking one car, the attic space above it is used as a utility room. Natural lighting in the attic is provided by sloped windows in the pitched roof and vertical windows on the pediment. The house is designed for the permanent stay of a family of 3-4 people.
Another traditional project two-storey house from blocks with separated zones for joint and individual pastime. On the ground floor there is a spacious living room with a fireplace, combined with a dining room, a kitchen with a multifaceted glazed bay window, utility rooms. The attic includes three separate bedrooms (if desired, any of them can be converted into an office or studio) and a bathroom, a garage is not provided. The interior is made in a classic style, the external appeal is enhanced by protruding windows (the total glazing area is large) and a wide single-flight staircase in the spacious hall.
The project of a cottage from foam blocks with an attached garage and an attic, total effective area is 140 m2. The form is complex, it includes protruding bay windows and a multi-sloped roof. On the ground floor there is a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room and a spacious walk-through living room. A two-flight staircase leads to the second floor, this area is intended for relaxation, it contains 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The cottage can be operated as a summer country house and for permanent residence, the garage is designed to accommodate 1 car.
How and what can you save on?
An economy class house made of foam blocks costs the future owner 20-30% cheaper in comparison with a similar brick building. The design includes a stable monolithic foundation(the type and depth of laying depend on the parameters of the soil), a reinforced box, floor partitions and a rafter system. To reduce the overall cost, it is recommended:
1. Take into account all operating conditions at the stage of preparing a house project, draw up a work schedule, calculate the exact amount of building materials and buy them in bulk.
2. If possible, replace the concrete floors with wooden beams. In comparison with reinforced concrete factory slabs, they are inexpensive, but their admissibility is determined by the calculation.
3. Use foam blocks for masonry with high accuracy of geometric shapes and sizes, otherwise the consumption of glue and requirements for finishing will increase. The quality of the products is checked even before purchase: when attached to each other, they should not form gaps or be colored, the cells have a closed structure and spherical shape, their diameter does not exceed 1-3 mm, the color on the surface and on the break is the same and uniform, there is no yellowness. For the construction of load-bearing walls, a grade of at least D600 is needed, the minimum permissible thickness is 300 mm, but you can save on internal partitions - 100 mm of masonry is enough.
4. Give up the basement.
5. Replace the second floor with the attic located above the attic. The same solution is offered when it is necessary to obtain a larger number of premises during construction in a limited space. There is an unspoken rule: with an equal total area, the project one-storey house less justified than a two-story one, the budget is considered to be recouped when it exceeds more than 100 m2. But at the same time, we must not forget about the restriction on the number of storeys - the permissible maximum is 3, ignoring this rule leads to an unjustified increase in the cost of armopoyas and laying the foundation.
6. When limited budget abandon complex architectural forms - terraces, bay windows, balconies, turrets. The same rule applies to roofing systems, the simplest and affordable option is a gable roof.
7. Do the work on your own. Price finished house turnkey (but without interior decoration and wiring) when contacting construction firms is at least 19,000 rubles per 1 m2, self-laying and cladding reduces costs by a third.
Factors to consider when designing
Houses and cottages are erected according to the standard or individual plan... The finished project is inexpensive (in the range of 20,000-30,000 rubles), but it does not take into account all the conditions of construction and operation. Negotiating special requirements takes a long time; it takes at least 1.5 months to prepare such documentation. In any case, the following is taken into account:
1. Seismic activity of the region, during construction in the zone of movement of tectonic plates, the requirements for the stability of the foundation and prices for masonry increase, with high risks foam blocks are replaced with other building materials.
2. Climatic conditions: average annual precipitation, humidity and air temperature. These parameters are taken into account when calculating the thermal engineering of the thickness of external walls, when determining the total weight loads and the choice of material and method of finishing. During construction in regions with an average daily air temperature in winter below -20 ° C, roof insulation is required.
3. Geological parameters of the site: type and degree of soil uniformity, depth of groundwater occurrence, level of freezing. The initial data are the results of the analysis of the state of the soil, ideally carried out during the period of maximum precipitation and the rise of ground moisture - in spring or autumn.
With the risk of flooding, it is better to build a house from foam blocks without a basement or an underground floor, the costs of waterproofing and drainage will be unreasonably high.
4. Construction budget. With limited funds, the simplest project is selected, without protrusions and. The less complex shapes are laid, the more reliable the house is. This is due to the low resistance of the blocks to tensile loads; only specialists can achieve their uniform distribution with an asymmetric arrangement of structures.
5. The need for energy saving. One of the main advantages is the ability to build residential buildings without additional insulation, even with single-layer masonry. In practice, the amount of energy consumption is influenced by many factors: from the glazing area to the location of the rooms. If the main priority is energy efficiency, then smaller windows are laid in the project, all outbuildings placed on the north side. In the case of an emphasis on external attractiveness, protruding glazed bay windows, verandas and balconies are added to the plan of the house, respectively, the costs of turnkey construction and heating of buildings increase.
Foam concrete block and aerated concrete are among the most popular building materials... Why did they become so popular and how do they differ from the brick we are used to?
Advantages of house projects from foam blocks and aerated concrete:
- Price - with a wide variety of building materials, the foam block has the most successful price / quality combination for the construction of cottages;
- Quality - foam blocks and aerated concrete blocks, as a rule, are the products of large factories. Well-established control at all stages allows the gas block to have precise geometry, constant strength and heat engineering characteristics. Now there are many manufacturers of foam blocks on the market, we recommend choosing only autoclave foam blocks for construction;
- Durability - blocks of aerated concrete can have high frost resistance (up to 100 cycles or more);
- Heat engineering - a number of manufacturers offer low-density gas blocks D400, which do not require insulation in most climatic zones;
- Manufacturability - the gas block is very easy to install and does not require high qualifications of a bricklayer. Easy to cut and handle, high laying speed and, as a consequence, a small amount of waste and an acceptable price for laying foam concrete blocks;
- Environmental friendliness - the composition of the gas block is simple cement, ash (gypsum or sand), aluminum powder. No harmful resins or other additives.
Considering all the above points, when choosing a house project from foam blocks or aerated concrete blocks, you are taking the right step. In our catalog of projects you will find many options for houses using aerated concrete and foam blocks. Various layouts, style solutions, one-story house or two-story house. Projects of houses from foam blocks with an attic and projects of houses from aerated concrete with a garage.
Foam block attic
Projects of houses with an attic are in themselves economical solutions, but the use of a foam block or aerated concrete enhances this benefit.
Choosing a house project from a foam block with an attic, you win in the area of the walls, and therefore the final cost of the house. Using a low-density gas block D400 save on insulation, because for most climatic zones it does not require additional insulation. Due to the ease of installation, we save on work.
The foam block is perfectly cut. Armed with a special tool, you can easily complete the gables under the attic floor. The remaining trimmings are used in subsequent rows of masonry.
The ease of processing blocks allows you to perform complex shapes facade included in the project of the house.
Garage in the house
Let's first decide if the garage is cold or warm. The size of the garage is also important, for one or two cars, or maybe more. Will there be technical rooms in the garage that require a certain temperature regime?
If the garage is cold, then any material on the market that provides the required load-bearing capacity is suitable for us.
A warm garage in a home requires a different approach. The temperature in the garage can be lower than our usual + 18-20C, unless, of course, you are going to use the garage as a workshop or a warm storage room in the cold season. If the planned temperature in the garage should be above 0, then the foam block and gas block are the ideal solution for this temperature regime.
The foam block during the construction of a garage does not require additional insulation.
Any project of a foam block house with an attic and a garage from our catalog can be easily changed according to your wishes. The house can be supplemented ground floor... Our catalog contains one-story and two-story cottages with both a basement and an attic floor. If you have not found a suitable option, we will always make a selection of projects from our catalog for free according to your wishes or offer you individual design a cottage from a foam block.
