Stone houses are long-lasting thanks to the strength and durability of stone, which is a natural material. Natural stone is an environmentally friendly material and is among the sustainable building materials. Stone is known for its heat storage capacity. This feature helps stone houses to maintain the temperature, keep the house warm on cold winter days, cool on hot summer days and increase energy efficiency. They are resistant to natural disasters, more resistant to disasters such as fire and easier to maintain.
What are the Stone House Types?
Cut Stone Houses are a type of stone house characterised by the fact that the stones used in their construction are cut and arranged in a certain way. These houses are usually built with the use of stone blocks cut to have a smooth and symmetrical appearance.
Crushed Stone Houses are a type of stone house type created by breaking or crushing the stones used in the structure in which they are built in a certain way. These houses generally reflect an aesthetic understanding that prefers natural stones to have an organic, random and natural appearance.
Stone Cladding Reinforced Concrete Houses are a type of reinforced concrete structure whose exterior facades are covered with natural stone materials for aesthetic and durability purposes. Such houses are combined with the strength and durability of reinforced concrete structures and benefit from the aesthetic properties of natural stone in terms of exterior design.
Are stone houses earthquake resistant?
Stone houses are generally known as durable and robust structures because they are made of natural materials. However, the earthquake resistance of stone can vary depending on the type of material used, construction technique, design and regional building standards.
Heating system for stone houses
The heating systems of stone houses may vary depending on factors such as the architectural features of the house, its geographical location and the energy sources it has. However, solar energy systems are an environmentally friendly heating system in stone houses. Solar panels can be used to provide energy for hot water production or heating systems. In addition, solid fuel stoves or fireplaces can be used to create a warm atmosphere in stone houses.
How long does it take to build stone houses?
The construction time of stone house models may vary depending on the project, the wishes of the customer and the budget. However, in general, the construction time of an average stone house varies between 6 and 12 months.
How is the cost calculation for stone houses?
The cost calculation for stone houses will vary depending on the size and design of the house, the material to be used in the facade and interior (wood, glass, metal, etc.) and additional payments for energy efficiency (solar panels, insulation materials, etc.).
