How to Build a House with Prefabricated Panels
There are several common methods for building houses with prefabricated panels, including the 'pre-tensioning' process for manufacturing prefabricated panels, assembling houses with prefabricated components, and modular construction.
Building houses with prefabricated panels manufactured using the 'pre-tensioning' process: Workers first lay a layer of cement, then place large foam panels and secure the connections with iron hooks. Next, they pour concrete and use a vibrating rod to remove air bubbles, ensuring the concrete is dense. After that, the entire panel is sent to an underground 'sauna' room for high-temperature steam curing or directly covered with a waterproof membrane for natural curing until it hardens. Finally, a CNC electric saw is used to precisely cut out hollow designs. These hollow sections can be used for running cables and sewage pipes, meeting the layout requirements for the house's internal facilities.
Assembling houses with prefabricated components: First, the foundation is leveled and a cushion layer is poured to provide a stable base for the house construction. Then, foundation piles are installed and secured with footplates to ensure stability. Next, the crossbeams are assembled, with mortise-and-tenon joints used for quick connection between them, enhancing the overall stability of the house. Stairs are hoisted in place like building blocks, facilitating easy access for people. After that, a 5-centimeter-thick floor slab is laid to provide a load-bearing surface for the upper floors. Finally, grout is injected into the gaps between all components to tightly bond them together, enhancing the overall integrity and airtightness of the house. The entire main structure assembly process can be completed within 14 days.
Modular construction: It is assembled using specially made prefabricated panels without the need for a single steel bar or cement. First, the overall framework of the house is built using prefabricated panels, with the gaps between each panel filled with foam adhesive for sealing and fixation. Several openings are reserved on the sides for natural light windows and entryways, meeting the house's lighting and access needs. Thick prefabricated panels are assembled to form seamless walls, ensuring the strength and thermal insulation performance of the walls. When building the roof, a circular skylight tray is propped up in the middle, secured with crossbeams around it, and covered with thick wooden planks on top. The exterior walls are wrapped with a layer of waterproof foam, and then covered with a waterproof tarp to enhance the house's waterproof performance. The roof of the house is treated with transparent glass for natural lighting, and the gaps between the interior crossbeams are filled with foam panels and nailed with a layer of wooden planks to improve the house's thermal insulation and comfort.
