How to Build a More Solid and Safer Prefab House?

The prefabricated house has many advantages, such as easy disassembly and assembly, convenient transportation and movement, strong stability and durability, etc. Therefore, prefabricated houses have been increasingly used in recent years. However, some hasty construction will cause serious safety problems to prefabricated houses.

Problems That Threaten the Safety of Prefabricated Houses

1. The prefab house is not equipped with professional welding workers, which will result in lousy welding quality of the electrode.

2. Due to the limitation of the construction site, it is hard to avoid the area where landslides may occur if the selection of the construction site is incorrect.

3. The soil quality of the foundation of the prefabricated house is unstable.

4. The construction starts without doing the research in advance, and then the construction is not carried out as planned.

5. Excessive people live in a prefab house, leading to overload and other accidents.

How to Install a Safer and More Solid Prefabricated House?

Fire Resistance

The fire separation distance should meet the design and specification requirements, and the fire passage should be free of blockage. The configuration of fire hydrants and fire extinguishers should meet the design requirements, and the layout must be reasonable. The oxygen index of the metal sandwich panel shall not be less than 32. Wooden floors and other combustible materials are better to be fireproof.

Stability

The panels of the prefabricated house need to be installed stably. The cornice should be straight, and the overlapping direction of the panels must be correct and consistent.

Lightning Protection

The grounding setting of lightning protection must meet the requirements of the design specification, and the grounding resistance should be qualified.

Anti-corrosion

Steel parts should be coated with good-quality pain to prevent rust, and the exposed bolts should also be appropriately protected. The anti-corrosion measures in a strong corrosive environment should meet the design requirements. The surrounding area of the prefab house should be emptied without water, and no debris is allowed either.

Electrical Configuration of the Circuit

The electrical wiring in the prefab house shall be covered with PVC pipes or slots and appears neat and beautiful. In addition, the electrical configuration must meet the design requirements without insulation aging and extension of the service life.

Parts & Accessories

The cabinet, roof, and wall panels of the prefab house should be free of obvious deformation and damage. Other parts like fixing bolts, waterproof washers, metal washers, nylon sleeves must be 100% complete. The sealant has to work well to ensure a reliable connection between the parts.

Wall Panel

The connected wall panels should be installed correctly with a flat surface. There must be the slot between the upper and lower lap joints. The outer panels are lapped downwards, and the lap length is supposed to be less than 15mm.

To make your prefab house more solid, it is suggested to note all the things mentioned above. It is vital to avoid installation problems of prefab houses, or this will cause threats to your safety.
