Are prebuilt homes safe

Due to the low cost and convenient installation of prebuilt homes, it has become more and more popular, and the demand for prebuilt homes around the world has soared. While paying attention to the low cost, people are more concerned about: are prebuilt homes safe.

Are prebuilt homes Structures Safe

There is a common perception that prebuilt homes are not safe as the traditional home because of the alternative construction materials and methods used. However, this is not true. These homes are entirely safe for several reasons. Firstly, prebuilt homes are constructed as per the building codes and regulations.

Solidhome has a very strong technical research and development team and experienced structural designers. The guarantee of structural safety system comes from thousands of design and construction experiences of traditional buildings and prebuilt homes.

Solidhome uses cold-formed steel framing to build critical sections of modular buildings such as load- bearing column, load-bearing walls, floors and roofs. For the stressed members, the section of the stressed member, the way of force, the strength of the material, and the structural risk when various loads are superimposed are determined according to the structural calculation code. Most of the materials are made of high-strength steel to ensure the structural safety under various extreme conditions.

When the new prebuilt homes are completed in the factory, Solidhome will also conduct various stress tests on the relevant components, not only to ensure the safety of the structure in theory, but also to be verified in the test. After these are done, Solidhome will launch this modular buildings to the market.

Are premade houses safe in a fire

There will always be some accidents in life. In addition to paying attention to structural safety, people also care about whether premade houses are safe in the event of a fire?

Although most premade houses are designed and produced as temporary or mobile buildings, once Prefab Homes are delivered to the construction site, they are permanently fixed to the foundation, so premade houses need to be considered fire-resistant as permanent buildings.

Building premade houses that is fire-resistant: Choose fire-resistant building materials and Protect the openings.

The building materials used in the premade houses produced by Solidhome are all refractory materials. The load-bearing column is made of steel structure. Steel is non-combustible, so it will not catch fire without spreading the flame. Refractory materials are used on the surface of the steel structure to prevent flames. The rock wool board with flame-retardant effect is used for the wall. The fire-resistant grade of rock wool can reach Class A, which is a good refractory material. The roof panel is also processed with refractory materials, which ensures that the modular buildings are fire-resistant or non-combustible as a whole.

Another refractory setting is Protect the openings. The openings of the house have to be carefully built and protected to maintain the safety of the building in front of a fire. Any opening allows burning embers to enter inside the house, easing the spread of the fire indoors. Therefore we should pay special attention to windows, doors, chimneys and vents. Windows are delicate elements that consist mainly of glass, if the glass breaks the flames can easily enter the house. Glass can break either from the impact of flying debris or as a result of extreme heat. To avoid this, the windows of Solidhome’s prefab home are double tempered glass.

Similar to windows, doors that connect outdoor to indoor spaces must be built to be more resistant to fire and reduce the possibility of fire spreading indoors. The door of Solidhome’s modular buildings is made of fireproof steel door, which ensures the passage of outdoor and indoor spaces.

Can prefab house withstand hurricanes

In the United States, Australia, and some areas in Asia that are close to the ocean, they face strong winds every year. People’s questions come: can prefab house withstand hurricanes.

Solidnome builds durable prebuilt homes that can withstand storms. With our superior materials, team and attention to detail, our custom prefab house will keep you and your family safe and comfortable.

Prefab house Structural design

Prefab house is designed not only to be fast and efficient, but also to withstand the elements. When creating a prefab home, engineers are keenly aware of the potential problems that can arise when assembling a home into pieces. To address these issues, custom fabricated homes are built with reaction forces, such as hurricane straps and trusses, that are built into the home before it is even placed on the foundation.

Strong frame

Because custom fabricated homes are built in factories, each individual module must have structural integrity before it can be transported to the construction site. That means being able to withstand bumpy roads, highways and all types of weather conditions. Each module is designed and manufactured to withstand the stress of shipping, making your entire home stronger and able to withstand extreme conditions even after construction.

Wind load test of prefab house

Of course, after the design and production of prefab house are completed, the most important step is to conduct a wind load test on this product. This test can be used as a proof that the product can withstand strong winds, and it can also detect various indicators in the test for future reference. Make targeted modifications in product design and production. Solidhome’s prefab homes are marked with the level of wind resistance. Generally, prefab house can withstand typhoons of level 8. If it is required to resist a greater level of wind, the product can be customized.

From the three aspects of structural safety, fire safety, and wind resistance, we find that prefab house is safe, welcome to order Solidhome’s prefab house.
