The most important advantage gained by using prefabricated houses is known as taking precautions against earthquakes. Prefabricated houses, which have been one of the most preferred houses for many years in many countries such as the USA, have now managed to become a preferred option in Turkey. Many people are curious about the advantages gained by using prefabricated houses and the features that make these houses preferred.
What is a Prefabricated House and Why is it Preferred?
If you have your own land with planning permission and want to have a house built that will meet your wishes, when you research house types, you will come across prefabricated house models. Prefabricated house models, which are generally built as a single but sometimes 2-storey building, are house types where all the parts are produced in the factory and assembled on land that has planning permission.
The use of prefabricated houses has become very popular today because it offers advantageous use in many aspects. Factors such as its short construction period, being an economical option, and being produced in many different models that can meet demands and needs are among the advantages that make it preferred.
Does the Prefabricated House Offer Earthquake Resistance?
Due to its geopolitical location, Turkey is considered a country with a high probability of encountering an earthquake. In this case, it must be stated that it is a very important factor that the buildings you use and your living spaces are safe against earthquakes.
Earthquake is a natural disaster and it is not yet possible to detect this natural disaster in advance and take precautions. No matter how much technology develops, the weak measures taken against natural disasters become a problem that can lead to loss of life and property even in the event of a small earthquake. The most important factor to be monitored to eliminate this problem is that your homes, where you spend most of the day and where you want to feel safe, have adequate precautions against earthquakes.
You cannot know how safe a house is for earthquakes if you do not have information about its construction period. This always causes anxiety within you. It is important to be aware of the precautions to be taken against earthquakes, but if your home, where you spend most of the day, is not safe enough against earthquakes, this can lead to many problems.
The first precaution to be taken against earthquakes is to produce buildings that will not be affected by earthquakes. Prefabricated houses, which play a very important role in this direction, minimize the possibility of debris and destruction that may occur during an earthquake, as they are produced with lighter and more ergonomic structures than reinforced concrete structures.
Reinforced concrete structures are known as structures that take longer to build and are generally built with heavier materials. Prefabricated house models, unlike reinforced concrete structures, are a type of house in which the parts are produced in the factory and have a much lighter production compared to reinforced concrete structures. After all the parts are produced in the factory, they are assembled in the field under appropriate conditions and conditions and thus made ready for use. Since they are lighter than reinforced concrete structures, they help minimize undesirable situations such as collapse that may occur during an earthquake. In addition, it would not be wrong to say that reinforced concrete structures have a certain amount of flexibility and thus prevent the debris that may occur by stretching during an earthquake.
Considering all these factors, it is possible to say that the most important advantage to be gained by using prefabricated houses is to live in an earthquake-resistant structure. Of course, this is not the only advantage provided by the use of prefabricated houses, one of the most preferred types of recent years.
Prefabricated House Models That Make Your Personal Spaces Yours
Another important feature that makes prefabricated house models attract such intense interest is that they make personal spaces belong to the user. When reinforced concrete structures are built, the user usually does not have an idea and starts to sit by purchasing a pre-built structure. This situation is considered as a factor that may prevent you from having your living space entirely yours.
If you want your living spaces to belong entirely to you and want to live with your own design, a prefabricated house offers you a significant advantage in this regard. As well as pre-prepared prefabricated house models, models in which you will play an active role in the design can be produced for you. In addition, you can make changes to the ready-made models such as room, structure and shape, thus making and personalizing your home. It is known that this is one of the most important advantages provided by the use of prefabricated houses.
Prefabricated Houses Do Not Have Short-Life Usage!
Prefabricated houses, which have managed to be the choice of those who want to have a safe and peaceful home, have attracted great attention in recent years. The construction time of prefabricated houses is much shorter than reinforced concrete structures because all the materials to be used are produced specially and externally in the factory.
All of the structures produced in the factory and combined into prefabricated houses are produced to be resistant to factors such as fire and water. Thus, it is necessary to say that prefabricated houses are considered safe structures in many respects.
The biggest mistake made about prefabricated houses is to think that these houses have a short-term use. You do not need to think that these structures are short-lived; with proper maintenance, they can last more than 60 years.
What Affects the Lifespan of Prefabricated Houses?
Prefabricated houses, which provide safe use against factors such as earthquakes, have become among the most preferred options in recent years. These houses, which offer a private space to their users and can be easily modified, manage to be the choice of those who want to have personal space.
Among the most researched topics regarding prefabricated houses, which offer a pleasant experience to their users, are how to extend their life and how to maintain them. It is also known that prefabricated houses, which are known to have a lifespan of 40 to 60 years, can be used for more than 60 years with the factors and maintenance that affect the lifespan.
The structure in which a prefabricated house is built and the climatic conditions of this structure are one of the most basic factors affecting the life of the house. In addition, it is possible to say that environmental factors also affect the lifespan of prefabricated houses.
Among the ways you can follow to extend the usage period of prefabricated houses, which are considered safe structures:
- You should make sure that you work with a team that is knowledgeable and experienced in prefabricated house production. In this way, you can be sure that all the parts used during the construction of the prefabricated house are of first-class quality and you can have the chance to sit in your safe structure for a long time.
- During prefabricated house production, you must ensure that the concrete quality is A class.
- You should get service from the construction team to have your prefabricated house maintained periodically.
If you pay attention to such factors, prefabricated house use will last for a long time and provide a pleasant experience. Prefabricated houses designed with heat and sound insulation are suitable for use in both summer and winter.
