In many large cities of Russia, there is an acute issue of the lack of useful areas for housing and administrative facilities. This is especially true of the historical center of cities, where new construction is practically impossible due to the lack of free land, and the only possibility is to use the land fund of dilapidated housing "for demolition". The solution to the issue of expanding the areas of residential and industrial buildings is a partial reconstruction of the building, by means of the superstructure of attic floors.
The construction of the attic does not require an increase in the land plot and allows not only to realize all the reserves of the bearing capacity of the vertical structures of the building, but also to give it additional architectural expressiveness.
The mechanism for the reconstruction of buildings in a city should be as fast and economical as possible. This opportunity is provided by the technology of attic construction without resettling residents or stopping the work of organizations. One of the advantages of this technology is a comprehensive solution for the attic superstructure of buildings, which includes not only construction work, but also the provision of building with high-quality materials and a branded guarantee of manufacturers and builders.
Attic construction allows:
• Get additional areas with an original architectural and planning and lighting solution, free planning and a large floor height without stopping the building's operation
• When joining ("blocking") with the lower floor, arrange "penthouses" - duplex apartments with an original layout that are in high demand
• To improve the architectural and artistic appearance of the building as a whole by forming the volumetric and color scheme of the "fifth facade" - the roof, to give individuality and recognition to the house or office
• Expand usable areas in central areas, including with historical buildings, where new construction is impossible
• For buildings in need of capital repairs of the roof, save significant funds, which allows us to speak of partial compensation to the investor of the reconstruction estimate
• Solve the problem of replacing an unreliable and expensive in operation flat roof with a durable pitched roof under natural tiles
The unique technology of attic construction is based on a light metal frame. On the basis of the frame, which serves as a rafter system, insulation and roofing are laid. Due to the use of effective lightweight materials and the spatial work of the entire frame, it is possible to maximize the possibilities of materials and achieve ultra-low metal consumption, as well as a minimum mass of shipping marks. This makes it possible to mount structures without using a crane, which would significantly increase the cost of the reconstruction process. This method eliminates the danger to people in a functioning building. And the low metal consumption of the supporting structure allows the superstructure to be erected without a significant increase in the load on the supporting structures of the building.
The economy of such a frame allows it to confidently compete with a wooden one in terms of price, with other indisputable advantages, the most important of which is compliance with the most stringent fire safety requirements. Structures of maximum factory readiness can significantly reduce labor costs at the assembly site and assemble all the elements easily, like a designer. This system made it possible to achieve the reliability and durability of the attic floor structures comparable to the reliability of the structures of the main building.
The roof covering of the attic room plays a special role. Optimally comfortable conditions for living and working should be created in the attic, therefore it is very important to choose the right roofing material that will perform the main protective function of the room. BRAAS natural tiles are ideal for roof construction, creating an optimal functional, reliable, durable, comfortable and aesthetic roof covering. Natural cement-sand and ceramic tiles BRAAS are produced and imported by the company "BRAAS-DSK 1", which is part of the international group "Monier". The BRAAS roofing system is a complete solution for the roof: natural BRAAS tiles, dozens of branded accessories and roofing accessories, PVC, galvanized steel and copper drainage systems make up a reliable, complete roofing system for roofs of any architectural shape.
Advantages of roof tiles under the tiles:
Reliability and durability:
• The service life of the roof is more than a hundred years, without additional maintenance and repair
• Strict manufacturing controls and 30-year written manufacturer's warranty
• An optimally completed BRAAS roof system avoids the damaging effects of condensation on roof structures and buildings
• The roof can withstand high snow loads and successfully withstand strong winds
• The tiled roof reliably protects the building from the effects of the external aggressive environment
• Natural tiles are frost-resistant and fireproof
Functionality:
• An integrated roofing system allows you to solve the most complex roofing units when constructing roofs of any architectural shape
• Piece tile tiles easily adapt to the inevitable deformation of the building when it shrinks
• Natural tile roofing is easy to install and renovate
• The unique quality of the tiled roof is its heat capacity: while slowly heating up in the sun during the day, the tiles also slowly cool down, which creates an air flow under the roof that ventilates and dries the roof structure
Comfort and aesthetics:
• The tiled roof does not make noise in the rain and wind, does not heat up under the sun, creating optimal comfortable living conditions in the attic
• A roof made of natural tiles is not only reliable protection from bad weather, but also a special charm of elegance, emphasizing the individuality of the owner
• Natural tiles - the most environmentally friendly roofing material
• In the attic under a tiled roof, a special atmosphere of coziness and comfort is created, which is necessary for full-fledged work and rest
