Check out our realization. Single-family house with a usable area of 158 m2 in Głogoczów, Małopolska province.
The team of Energetyczny Projekt carried out a project at Mr. Rafał’s house in Głogoczów, Małopolska province. In this picturesque village, the project of a single-family house with a usable area of 158 m2 under the forest itself, with a view of the surrounding highlands, was chosen.
Foundations and basement
The foundations were made using the traditional method. Footings and footings were placed. Horizontal insulation was laid on the footings, and the foundation walls (25 cm thick) were protected successively with waterproofing compound, thermal insulation XPS/EPS 200 gr. 15 cm thick and bubble wrap.
Basements have been protected with drainage pipes with additional lagging to prevent the entry of waste. Inspection manholes have been used at the corners of the foundations. They make it easier to clean the pipes, especially in those places where there are kinks. Drainage pipes with a diameter of 110 have been laid with a slope, and the water will be discharged into the storm water drainage system. A drainage backfill has been lined under the pipes in order to use stone drainage above.
At the foundation level, a 5 cm thick screed was made. There was also applied 4x insulation-building foil, thermal insulation of 15 cm with polystyrene foam and a concrete slab 15 cm thick. On the very underside was poured wedge approx. 40 cm thick.
Mr. Raphael can descend to the basement via a concrete staircase, as well as enter from the outside. Thanks to the layout of the area, on this level we will find a garage, 4 windows, as well as an entrance through an exterior door. The garage occupies 59.1 m2, the boiler room 11.2 m2, the utility room – 11.4 m2, and the communication itself – 2.3 m2.
Walls
The exterior as well as partition walls were built using ceramic hollow brick (expanded clay). Thanks to the gaps in this material, the ceramic block has a thermal conductivity coefficient of about 0.4 W/mk2. The exterior walls are 25 cm thick, without insulation, while the partitions are 12 and 8 cm thick. Lintels for the openings in the partition walls were made of system lintels with support on both sides, 25 cm on each side.
Insulation in the form of 20 cm graphite polystyrene foam and a plaster finish (1.5 cm) was also used. The facade was made of thin-coat plaster in white, light gray, mosaic gray. Decorations were also added through rustication in brown color. The interior walls were also plastered to a thickness of 1.5 cm.
Ceilings
The interstory floor was made of a 15 cm thick reinforced concrete floor slab. On top of the slab was laid successively 2x insulation and construction foil, 10 cm thick acoustic polystyrene foam, again 2x foil, 5 centimeter thick screed and 2 cm thick floor. From underneath, the slab was protected with plaster. A ceiling of the same section was also used over the first floor.
The ceiling over the attic is of 3.3 cm thick planked floor, 80×180 wooden structure with a thickness of 18 cm. Ventilation space was left between the structure, 16 cm thick mineral wool was laid, and 10 cm thick wool on CD60 system profiles. In addition, a vapor barrier and a type DF plasterboard were laid.
First floor
On the first floor you will also find an earth terrace with an exit 300×230, and a vestibule, which was made of 10×20 cm wooden beams. They were fixed with chemical anchors to the underside of the reinforced concrete slab above the first floor with the use of system thermal spacers. The spaces between the beams were filled with mineral wool.
Windows and balcony doors of various sizes finished with metal railings were installed in the walls.
The first floor included a bathroom (7.7 m2), a room (9.3 m2), a kitchen (11.2 m2), a dining room (15.2 m2), a living room (23.7 m2) as well as a vestibule (6.2 m2) and a staircase (2.6 m2).
Attic
The usable attic includes a room (24.3 sqm), a dressing room (7.3 sqm), a room (18.3 sqm), a room (13.8 sqm), a bathroom with a laundry room (10.3 sqm) and a communication (5.9 sqm).
In the rooms, slope windows of various sizes have been installed.
Roof
The roof was covered with flat ceramic tiles. Under the tile, 40×50 mm battens, 40×50 mm counter-battens and a highly permeable roof membrane were put in place. The main “component” was rafters of 80×200 and 20 cm thick.
The ventilation space between the structure (2 cm), mineral wool between the structure (16 cm), mineral wool (10 cm) on CD60 aluminum profiles, vapor barrier and plasterboard were also preserved.
Above the staircase, standing seam metal sheeting was installed along with insulation. The roofing was laid on battens of the same dimensions, a highly permeable roofing membrane was laid, and solid boarding was used on the rafters. The rest of the insulation was done in the same way as under the tile roof.
The roof was also protected with a lightning protection system.
Site
Around the building, a structural foundation (25 cm)was created, a ballast about 5 cm thick was poured and paving blocks (6 cm) were laid.
Installations
Gravity ventilation was installed in Mr. Rafal’s building. At the client’s request, Energetic Design used a heat pump as the main heating source for the house, as well as air conditioning. On the roof of the building , on the southwest side, a photovoltaic installation was installed, consisting of 27 FB photovoltaic modules.
