What are prefabricated houses made of?

Prefabricated houses are a type of building constructed using industrialized production methods. Its components are prefabricated in the factory and then transported to the construction site for assembly to form a complete structure.
Prefabricated houses are mainly made of the following materials:

1. Steel

Steel is an important structural material in prefabricated houses, with high strength, high toughness and good plasticity.

Strength and stability: The high strength of steel enables it to withstand large loads and ensure the stability of prefabricated houses. At the same time, the stability of steel materials is good and not easy to deform, providing reliable structural support for the house.
Processing performance: Steel is easy to process and weld, and is easy to make into structural components of various shapes and sizes, such as doors and windows, pillars, beams and columns, etc.
Application parts: In prefabricated houses, steel is mainly used to make load-bearing structural components and connectors, such as foundations, columns, beams, etc., to ensure the stability and safety of the house.

2. Wood

As a natural material, wood has unique advantages and characteristics in prefabricated houses.

Lightweight and easy to process: Wood is light in weight and easy to transport and install. At the same time, wood is easy to process into various shapes and sizes to meet different design requirements.
Thermal insulation performance: Wood has good thermal insulation performance, which helps to improve the thermal insulation effect of prefabricated houses and reduce energy consumption.
Environmental protection: As a renewable resource, the use of wood is in line with the concept of environmental protection. In prefabricated houses, wood can be used to make floors, partitions, wainscoting and other components. Wood is also often used to make tree houses, etc.

3. reinforced concrete

Reinforced concrete is a composite material composed of cement, sand, gravel, water and steel bars, which is widely used in prefabricated houses.

High strength and durability: Reinforced concrete has high strength, good durability, and can withstand large loads and deformations. This makes reinforced concrete an ideal choice for load-bearing structural components in prefabricated houses.
Earthquake resistance: Reinforced concrete structures have good earthquake resistance and can maintain structural stability and safety in natural disasters such as earthquakes.
Application parts: In prefabricated houses, reinforced concrete is mainly used to build foundations, columns, beams and other load-bearing structural components. In addition, reinforced concrete can also be used to make prefabricated wall panels, floor slabs and other components.

4. Sandwich panels

Sandwich panels are a new type of lightweight and efficient building material, consisting of two layers of metal panels and insulation materials in the middle.

Lightweight and high strength: Sandwich panels are light in weight but high in strength and can withstand a certain load. This makes sandwich panels have good application prospects in prefabricated houses.
Sound insulation and fire prevention: The insulation material in the middle of the sandwich panel has good sound insulation, and the metal panel also has certain fire resistance. This enables sandwich panels to meet the needs of sound insulation and fire prevention in prefabricated houses.
Thermal insulation performance: The insulation material in the middle of the sandwich panel has good thermal insulation performance, which helps to improve the thermal insulation effect of prefabricated houses and reduce energy consumption.
Application parts: In prefabricated houses, sandwich panels are mainly used for the construction of walls, roofs, partition walls and other parts. Its advantages of light weight, high strength, sound insulation, fire resistance and thermal insulation make sandwich panels one of the indispensable materials in prefabricated houses.

In addition to the above main materials, prefabricated houses may also use other auxiliary materials during the construction process, such as insulation materials, waterproof materials, decorative materials, etc. to meet different construction needs and design requirements.
