History of

technology For the first time the technology of assembly of modular structures in Russia was developed in the late seventies. And it was designed for the military, who themselves could build modular homes, not the name of this building education. After successful application by the military, the technology moved to civilian objects.

Standard example of a modular house

What are such objects? In fact, this is the "LEGO" constructor: there is a set of standard parts( structural elements) that are connected with each other using the "Ship" - "nest" node.

Device of modular house

Constructive elements are - panels, racks. They are developed in standard sizes - 2400 * 4800 millimeters. This is taken into account when designing without fail: the cottage area should be a multiple of the panel step.

Modular home project

The panel on the inside is made of cement shavings( DSP), with the outside - plywood with a high resistance to moisture. The panels themselves are sewn onto a metal, wooden( or combined) frame. Between the cladding is a heater, the thickness of which is adopted depending on GOSTs in different climatic conditions.

In addition, the panel is treated with special solutions / impregnations.

The big plus of such facilities is that they can be collected in any climatic zone. Modular houses are seismically stable - able to withstand up to 8 points on the Richter scale. Those who are worried about the dubious suitability of a home in low temperatures should reassure the fact that modular structures are also used in permafrost conditions. However, in this case a larger layer of insulation is laid in the panel.

The only condition for such a house is no more than two floors. It is worth noting that the average housing today rarely exceeds this height.

To the disadvantages of modular housing can be attributed the fact that it is unlikely to transfer such a house to the grandchildren. The shelf life of the panels, and actually the design itself - up to half a century.

The construction itself is built on the most simple reinforced concrete slabs( if the soil permits), an air cushion is provided during construction to account for possible draft.

Exotic version of the modular house

Installation takes up to 7 days. In addition, as mentioned above, no building education is required. You just need to have a couple of friends-enthusiasts that collect a fairly spacious, warm and bright house.

As a rule, manufacturers of such cottages provide a service - the departure of an engineer or a team of workers to the future site of construction. Professionals can independently erect a structure, and control and provide advice during assembly on their own.

Modular home option

Cost of modular structures

The average price per square meter of this type of dwelling is about 5000 rubles. If you consider that the average area of ​​such a house is about 150 square meters, then the whole room will cost about 750 thousand Russian rubles. More than a decent price, available in any region.

Of course, the finishing of the house is to be realized for an additional fee. But then you have the opportunity to show your imagination. You can apply brick, stone and much more, which will not only strengthen the structure, but will also have a decorative task. The roof can be covered with tiles, slate, metal rolling, etc. - everything that the soul lies to.

As a result of finishing / finishing, typical modular homes can turn into exclusive.

In particular, such a house does not have to be used as a dwelling. You can perfectly adapt it to a garage, a small cottage, a warehouse or any other building. You can order panels for the whole house, and eventually split into two separate buildings.

European technology

In Europe, and in America, this technology of erection has also become widespread. In Europe, it was first used in Finland, where fast construction of buildings and structures is especially important. Moreover, in the north of Finland, a rocky terrain predominates, traditional construction acquires a number of difficulties. The erection of modular houses in such conditions is almost the only way to avoid big expenses.

If to affect the New World, then prefabricated structures are the most widespread in Canada. The climate of the "maple leaf" is very similar to the climate of the Russian Federation, so it is not surprising that such houses are used and there, no.

Let's sum up some results. What are the advantages of prefab technology:

  • Fast assembly of the structure.
  • Good thermal insulation
  • Humidity resistance.
  • Light weight.
  • Affordable price.

As for the negative side of this method of construction, it is practically limited by the fragility of the construction. Of course, for one generation of independent life such a structure is enough, but it is impossible to make a family estate with a modular house today.
