But really, is it worth building a house from sandwich panels? After all, we are used to houses or from a bar, as in good old fairy tales, or to brick buildings. How effective and safe such houses are? For example, cases of fire panels are known and, as it turned out, it is quite difficult to extinguish them. This is what will be discussed in this article.
Advantages of sandwich panels
The first thing developers are proud of is the speed of erecting such a house. And there really is something to be proud of: the middle house is being built in 2-6 weeks from the start of construction.
Also, such houses do not require the usual concrete foundation. By the way, you can place a house on it, but there is a more suitable technology, namely, iron or concrete piles. It is convenient and practical.
The price, so exciting all, is also lower compared to the construction of an ordinary house.
Savings on heating. Since houses consist of panels inside which there is polyurethane foam (an improved analogue of foam), their heat -saving properties are much higher.
You can build at any time of the year and at any temperature.
Sandwich panels: the best materials for building a house, and this is really the case. True, such houses have their own shortcomings: there are few of them, but they still have.
Flaws
Some types of sandwich panels are afraid of fire. There were cases when, due to a small fire, they burned at home, and in a very short time. The fault of this was the combination of OSP plates with polyurethane foam. As practice has shown, this type of panels is not suitable for construction. Fortunately, the panels today make fireproof.
Ventilation. The house from sandwich panels is rather a foam box where the air is not included and, accordingly, does not come out. From this we can conclude that a good ventilation system is needed. When ordering such a house, it will not be superfluous to clarify whether it is or not.
The life of such a house is no more than 50 years.
Conclusion
House from sandwich panels is really high -quality and affordable housing. If at the moment there are disadvantages, then they will disappear over time, since technologies are constantly developing, making the life of an ordinary person better.
