Prefabricated House Yes
Durable?

In the past, steel beams and columns were often only used in temporary constructions. However, with the development of science and technology and construction skills, today we can use materials such as iron and steel to create sustainable, long-lasting buildings. And that was the origin of prefabricated houses. So what is a prefabricated house? Are prefabricated houses durable?? The article below from Dong Son Steel will help you answer the above questions.

What is a prefabricated house?

Prefabricated houses (also known as prefabricated steel houses, prefabricated steel frame houses) are a type of house made from steel components. Like other types of buildings, prefabricated houses are manufactured and installed according to pre-specified architectural and technical drawings. Here, the part to be built first will be the steel frame.

Prefabricated houses are often used in projects such as warehouses, factories, supermarkets, commercial buildings or exhibition houses, etc. Prefabricated steel buildings are increasingly popular in civil buildings and houses due to the advantages it brings.

Some advantages of prefabricated houses

Prefabricated houses today are popular because of their very unique advantages:

• Save costs on raw materials, construction, etc.
• Flexible and convenient design, can be changed by moving the joints
• Compact structure, can be combined with lightweight materials to reduce load
• Durable
• Good resistance to mold and mildew
• Construction time is quick.

With the above strengths, prefabricated houses can become the optimal choice for those who are looking for a type of construction that is highly durable while still ensuring aesthetics and flexibility in construction.

Are prefabricated houses durable?

So prefabricated houses is it durable? The answer is definitely yes. How long can a prefabricated house be used and the factors that affect the durability of a prefabricated house are questions that many people are interested in. The durability of prefabricated houses can be firmly affirmed because the materials that make up prefabricated houses are reinforced steel. However, how long a house will last depends on many different factors.

So are prefabricated houses durable?

Factors affecting the longevity and durability of prefabricated houses

Durability of steel material

Steel is a durable material, able to withstand rain, wind, floods and other physical impacts of nature. Majority prefabricated houses There is also anti-rust paint on the outside of the steel to increase durability. If the building is built with good quality steel and is well maintained, it will contribute to ensuring optimal durability and longevity.

Bearing structure of the building

The load-bearing structure of the whole building is very important, because this is also related to the joints - a combination of bolts, screws, etc. If the steel is strong but the joints are loose or the parts are arranged one by one. An unscientific approach will significantly reduce the bearing capacity of the structure. Therefore, discuss with experts and architects right from the time you are completing the drawings to ensure you will have a solid building.

Construction land

Construction location is the deciding factor in the solidity of the prefabricated house's foundation. If built on a ground that shows signs of poor bearing capacity and is prone to landslides such as sandy soil, muddy soil, land near water sources, etc., there is a high possibility that subsidence will occur, causing the project to be seriously affected. This is also related to human safety, so choose places with solid, solid ground to "plant your foundation".

Precision in construction

You could say, build prefabricated houses Just like assembling models for children. This process requires every construction step and every structure of the house to be interconnected.

Construction with proper techniques and according to drawings will help increase the life of the house, while also helping to protect the safety of those living inside it. You should choose reputable and quality construction units to complete your project.

In addition, there are a number of other factors such as climatic conditions, external forces, owner's usage, etc. that can affect the exact lifespan of a prefabricated house. 

After the above analysis, the most asked question is probably "Should we build it?" prefabricated houses or not?". Prefabricated houses have many advantages worth considering, especially with long lifespan, high durability and quick construction time,... this deserves to be an ideal choice for construction designers. However, along with that there are still some disadvantages and limitations prefabricated houses encountered during construction and use. Therefore, don't forget to consult and consider carefully before making a decision!
