Frame construction is rapidly gaining momentum. The use of modern technologies in construction, new building materials, allowed frame houses to bring to the competitive level.

Advantages of a skeleton house
North of Europe, Germany, North America, not one decade builds low-rise buildings on Canadian, frame technology. The modern frame house has high strength, reliability, in its characteristics is not inferior to a stone or brick house.
And the leading characteristics for frame houses are:
- low-cost construction;
- high construction speed;
- low weight building, which does not require a powerful foundation;
- lightweight types of foundation on piles;
- buildings do not give shrinkage due to their ease, so all internal finishing works can be carried out in any season;
- when building a frame house, panels are widely used, the customer's choice with a flat surface, the indoor finish occurs faster and cheaper;
- modern insulation materials can be chosen for any climate;
- modern technologies make it possible to compete frame houses in terms of fire safety, thermal insulation, noise protection, vapor permeability;
- the architect, due to the small weight of the house design, the ease of installation appeared ample opportunities in creating beautiful, low-rise houses;
- a large range of modern finishing materials from vinyl siding to facing brick, allows you to create each customer his dreams to each customer;
- a large plus in the construction of a frame house is the use of environmentally friendly materials for humans;
- even the cottage villages are based on frame construction, they do not look monotonous, but on the contrary, each house looks individually and beautiful.
Disadvantages of frame houses.
We listed the advantages of frame houses, and now let's talk about the shortcomings.
As such, there are no shortcomings in the construction of a frame house, but only if at the development stage projects of frame houses Effective measures to protect housing from mice penetration are laid.
These little animals can climb into any gap and turn the life of the hosts in the daytime.
If the moment of protection of the house from mice and rats is messed, mice are capable of sitting in the walls of the houses in winter, since frame construction implies the use of a heater in which rodents arrange their nests and perfectly multiply.
In the case of the settlement of the skeleton house, mice will have to take various measures about which we will write below.
How to protect frame houses from mice?
Experienced builders are able to advise the Customer, if this is not present in the project, use the insulation that mouse is not able to overcome.
This insulation can be attributed to EcoWhat.
This type of insulation, although mainly consists of cellulose, but in its composition it contains at least 20% of boric acid and borax mixtures.
A mixture of boric acid and boraxes is a wonderful antiseptic, it is capable of not only protecting the tree from insects and fungus, but also will scare rodents.
In previous times, builders used a solution of boos and lime during the processing of building materials.
In addition, it has long been construction of the house, in order to combat rodents, ascent was added to the insulation, slag, flavors in the form of tobacco dust, dry mint, dry wormwood.
Modern builders are used to protect the skeleton house from rodents a monolithic reinforced concrete plate, which is laid in the foundation.
The cheaper way is to use a fine metal mesh, which overlap the possible ways of mice in the house.
Equata and mice, do you live in eco-house?
The cheapest insulation in the construction market is a foam or polystyrene foam. Possessing good thermal insulation properties, this type of insulation is very like rodents.
In addition to foam, before the onset of mice, the following insulation will quickly give up: mineral wool, chipboard, fiberboard.
Self-insulating foam or polyurethane foam, which is very convenient to close all sorts of cracks, are also subject to mice, they do not eat it, but create moves and holes.
We come to the conclusion that Equata, which is produced in a loose form can protect the frame house from rodents. But it is possible to lay an eclae using special equipment. Equata can be covered with insulation, such as foam and then rodents will not overcome this obstacle.
Equipment equipment can be able to poison eco-water into any gaps and emptiness, thereby overlaps the path of rodents. To protect the floor of the frame home from rodents if the monolithic reinforced concrete plate is under the house, the insulating material is poured.
The clay layer should be at least 30 centimeters, the ceramzite is covered with a polyethylene film. On top of the film produce laying two layers of OSP-3.
In the production of oriented - the chipboard is impregnated with synthetic wax and boric acid. As described above, the mice are afraid of boric acid. After another layer of clay, the draft floor is ready and the mice will not be able to overcome this obstacle.
In addition to eco-house, as a heater, which does not like mouse, you can offer foam concrete and foam glass.
Metal fine grid, wire thickness of which is at least 2 mm. And cells 5x5 mm. May be laid under the floor of the house on the piles. On the floor below the metal grid is bought.
In addition, the metal grid can be wrapped the base. The height of such a grid should be at least 1 meter, the grid is stacked under the trim.
Using a profiled sheet, you can protect the foundation from rodents in the same way as the grid.
Folk remedies with mice in the house.
If the rodents appeared in the non-residential room, the type of basement, garage or barn, can be scaretable by mice with sharp smell sources, like: burned rubber, burned wool, burned bird feot, with the smell of triple cologne, kerosene or diesel fuel.
If the room is residential, folk remedies in combating mice are advised to use the flavors of the following plants: dried mint, dried mellis, daisy pharmacy, wormwood, Pijma. Plants are collected in bundles, lay down the corners of the frame house, fall asleep in mink. Instead of herbs, you can use essential oils.
In addition to the above methods, the mice get rid of poison bait, mousetrap traps, adhesive traps.
Under the house in the corners are ultrasound dischargers, which should be isolated from moisture receipt.
