Let's start with the definition. Ground floor - what is it? This room is partially immersed in the ground no more than half of its height from the floor level. According to SNiP, its height is no more than two and a half meters above the Earth. There are socles both in private and in an apartment building.
In the second case, the facilities are most often a non-residential foundation. Inside, equip the technical premises, offices, shops and other enterprises. Sometimes there are residential apartments at this location. This is usually an old building, but also in new homes they sell them.
Pros and cons of the base in different buildings
Consider the differences between the purchased and independently built basement.In a separate house
The advantage of this room in the private sector is obvious - this is an increase in residential or useful area of the house. It can accommodate anything.
- Boilers, gas equipment.
- Storage room for storing grocery stocks and things.
- Residential room.
- Gym.
- Kitchen.
- Cinema.
- Sauna, swimming pool.
- Workshop.
- Library.
- Garage. The minus of this option is that smells of oil and gasoline fall into the residential part. It will take good ventilation, as in the case of a sauna and pool.
- Living room. If the house stands on the hill, the wall can be completely glazed and equip a beautiful winter garden.
At the same time, you do not take a centimeter of the area in the local area. An additional plus is the lack of need for insulation of floors on the first floor. The mixture will perform the role of air buffer between it and the soil.
The disadvantage can be considered an increase in the estimate for construction. Equipment of the mixture will require additional costs of design, waterproofing, heating, lighting, ventilation, internal repairs. Also, when calculating, it is necessary to include an article of future content expenditures. This is especially true for living room arrangements.
What does the ground floor mean in apartmentmade housing
As for urban development, the plus is a reduced price for apartments with this location. The difference between ordinary and base housing can be large or almost inconspicuous, depending on the planning of the object and the year of its construction.Minuses
- Since most often it is old houses, dampness and cold can be felt.
- The street is very close, this means that most likely the noise will interfere with a full-fledged rest.
- According to SNiP 31-01-2003 p. 5.5, the room is not intended for housing, and therefore it is impossible to register in it. But if all the documents are in order and the developer was able to register an object as residential - problems with registration should not be.
- Increased risk of theft. It reduces the lattices on the windows and a good door.
- Lack of daylight. Depends on the planning, some apartments are difficult to distinguish from ordinary.
- Psychological discomfort. The premises windows can be in the earth, which is unusual for many people.
- Possible troubleshooting problems. Most of the buyers are alarming the location of the apartment. This means that to sell only at a reduced price.
When buying, pay attention to the walls, gender, the characteristics of the area and the courtyard in which you plan to live. Carefully check the documentation. If you choose moisture-resistant finishing materials, as well as high-quality windows and doors, most of the minuses are reduced to zero. And in new buildings, shortcomings may not be.
What is the difference between the basement from the basement
The basement is different from the basement of the degree of plug in the ground. The basement is underground completely or more than half. It is difficult to equip something besides the technical room or cellar. In the first case, you can often make wide or high windows, in the second they may not be at all.Tips for arrangement and finishing semi-oiled in a private and apartment building
At the planning and construction stage, it is necessary to consider two important factors affecting the durability and reliability of the construction.
Construction works
One of the factors - waterproofing. For this, the drainage is made in obligatory. With a high level of groundwater around the perimeter, a wastewater is created with water pumping or watering water supply. In the video - a detailed explanation of the device of waterproofing of the mixture.
The second thing is important to consider - ventilation. For her, the wall creates products - holes 15 * 25 cm (approximately). They are closed with a grid. In addition, climatic systems are installed. On these two technologies, it is impossible to save, since it is precisely the durability and comfort of the base. During operation, it is necessary to monitor the condition of drainage, roofing drain and scene.
Materials from which overlaps are built:
- Monolithic concrete. The most durable and durable option, as there are no seams. It is created in the formwork, reinforced by a grid with cells 15 * 15 cm, cross section 6 cm, and a rod with a diameter of 8-12 cm. The lower part is covered with boards covered with an antiseptic. The work applies brand concrete M400.
- FBS. Pretty reliable and ubiquitous material today. Seams are necessarily covered with waterproofing.
- Red full-length brick. In the regions where the temperature in the winter falls below -30 ° C, the walls are laying up 2 bricks thick. Low part of masonry reinforcement
- A natural stone. The stone is mounted as close as possible to each other, the voids are filled with cement, vertical seams tie up
The design consists of a floor plate and walls that can rely on it or stand around the perimeter. The second option is usually cheaper and suitable for sandy soils.
Finishing work
For lining of the external wall, siding, porcelain stonewares and other durable materials are used. Finishing for floors, walls and ceiling inside the building choose depending on the purpose of the area. If there is a regular room on it - you can use options familiar to interiors.
- Plasterboard
- Wallpaper
- Fake diamond
- Plaster
It is better to choose moisture-resistant products in order to avoid the appearance of mold and fungus. In the bathrooms, pools, preference is given to tile. It is used as an outdoor coating in the kitchen area. Ceilings are practical to make suspended. Such designs hide the wiring, look aesthetically. They are convenient to embed point lamps.
Interior
In the basement may not be enough daylight. If you are planning permanent or frequent finding in it, it can be harmful to vision and psychological state. In this case, it is recommended to make interior in bright colors with small bright splashes. In small areas - in studios and smart apartments it is better to use minimalism techniques.
- Furniture-transformer (folding tables, pull-out podium beds, mini-second floor).
- Separation to the plots with light partitions, curtains, bar racks.
- Mirrors on the walls. Used to expand space.
- As many light sources can be as possible at different levels.
- Simple forms, combination of strict horizontal and vertical lines.
Using these simple rules, you set up a cozy and comfortable accommodation. A small photodification of residential semi-oops will help you inspire to create your project.
