Home description
We chose
a timber floor, because in private house is special sound insulation not required. The timber floor
joist run wall to wall and the joists are bear on the wall. As we know the decking can be finished
in different ways. We used PVC sheets in kitchen, parquet in living room and bedrooms and tiles
in bathroom. We have different colours wood linings in every room.
Roofs are part of external envelope and the main purpose is to protect buildings against
precipitations and sounds. My house have a pitched roof what is covered with corrugated iron.
Roof struss consists of principal rafters, ceiling joists and struts made of timber. Those parts are
secured together with steel connector what is pressed into the timber. There are also iron gutters
and drainpipes to run water away.
The main purpose of stairs is to provide floor-to-floor access. Our stairs are made of timber and
there are no handrail, because it is between two walls and there are only six steps
