Construction in winter brings with it a number of difficulties.. For example, the reduction in the duration of daylight hours, the difficulty of carrying out work using concrete. Difficulties of course exist, but this does not mean at all. That with the onset of winter it is necessary to complete construction. Modern technologies are developing rapidly, and these technologies make it possible to engage in construction in the winter. In addition, in winter, construction companies experience a significant decline in orders, which entails the provision of various discounts. Companies strive to get orders by providing bonuses, discounts, promotions. This is a good argument to continue building in the winter. You can save a lot.
Work with the ground in the cold season, of course, is difficult to perform. But there is a technology that allows you to warm up the soil and start digging a foundation pit. Then the construction of the foundation begins. There are special antifreeze additives for concrete, with which you can work at temperatures up to minus 25 degrees.
Concrete heated to 90 degrees can be placed in the formwork at temperatures up to minus 5 degrees. There is also a way to electrically heat concrete using electrodes. Ceramic radiators, heating elements. You can also heat the formwork with electricity instead of concrete. Usually, a combined method is used in construction. Those. combine, for example, the use of antifreeze additives and electric heating. This allows you to get the best result. You can also make a foundation using metal piles. Their service life is guaranteed up to 40 years..
After the foundation is ready, you can begin to build walls. Here we also use heating anti-freeze additives. Well, if the house is being built of wood, then it is generally better to build it in winter. Because the walls will have to stand and sit. If shrinkage occurs in winter, this is even better, then the wood cracks much less and it happens evenly. In the summer, you can calmly do the finishing work.
