Beautiful designs of brick houses with attic

Houses from a brick in all ages were considered as durable and reliable structures. Despite the variety of modern options, today brick is considered one of the best materials used for capital construction. Especially popular are brick houses with an attic, in which it is easy to equip a living room for various purposes.

Very often, the decision to turn the room under the roof into a full-fledged room comes in the desire to increase the usable area of ​​the house. Even at the design stage, you need to decide what to build: a cold attic or a warm attic. The latter option implies the presence of large windows, which are usually mounted in the ceiling, and the walls of the room are slopes of the roof.

Most projects of houses of this type have complex roofs with a break, which in finished form look more attractive than simple versions of buildings with a gable roof.

If earlier the attic was needed only to increase living space, today such houses are popular among people of creative professions.

Brick houses with a mansard became popular also because such buildings have many advantages:

• Reliability and durability. Brick - fireproof, environmentally friendly material with excellent heat and sound insulation properties. Thanks to its "breathing" properties, the air in the room does not stagnate. Therefore, in such houses is always a warm homely atmosphere.

• Material savings. A single-storey house with an attic will be much cheaper than a two-story building.
• Durability. Brick - quite resistant material, especially to the fungus, mold, insects and mice.

• Design. Modern manufacturers offer a lot of different shapes and shades, so with the help of bricks you can realize any dream.In addition, the attic floor does not have to be a residential area, it can accommodate a greenhouse or a photographic studio.

Houses with a mansard also have disadvantages, which should be known before the start of construction:

• The complexity of creating high-quality insulation and ventilation of the roof. Laying these systems requires a careful approach. Failure to comply with the technology may lead to the fact that in the winter time to live on the attic floor will be impossible. To avoid such problems, you should contact only specialists.
• The difficulty of creating natural lighting. There is a high probability that during the daytime there will be twilight in the attic. Therefore, experts usually install skylights or provide a complex lighting system.

• Dead zone. It should be borne in mind that on the attic floor near the walls there will be a so-called dead zone, where it is impossible to straighten up in full growth. To achieve harmony in the interior can be installed in such places furniture or decor items.
• Psychological discomfort. Most psychologists say that with a long stay in rooms with sloping walls there is a feeling of anxiety.Therefore, such rooms can be suitable for permanent residence only if the mental health of a person is in order.

But the technical properties of the brick fully justify the high cost of construction. In order for the house to turn out to be for centuries, it is necessary to acquire not only high-quality materials, but also to monitor compliance with the technologies during laying the foundation, roofing, wall construction, construction of the attic floor, and all other construction processes.

No less important is the further handling of the room. Brick houses need good heating in winter, as well as maintaining a certain level of humidity.

Starting to design a house with a brick attic, you need to know the important nuances. One of the main factors is the choice of the terrain where the building will be erected. The relief features influence the choice of the type of foundation of the future home.

If the soil is weak and wet, then the foundation is better to make a pile-screw. Moreover, in this case, the construction of a tall building is not recommended. It is better to opt for a single-storey house with a loft. Then the load on the soil will be small, and the structure does not "float" over time.

Houses with a loft can be completely different, depending on their purpose. Starting to create a project, it is important to determine in advance how this building will be used in the future.

This may be a summer cottage, in which you plan to stay only in the warm season. Projects of houses of this type usually have a small area and are not equipped with centralized communications.

For living all year round, houses require warming, capital insulation, and all necessary systems. Of course, the implementation of such projects requires a large investment of time, money and effort. It is advisable to contact the experts who will help you choose the best option for a particular area and calculate the parameters of the future home.
