How Can You Prevent Fires in Prefabricated Panel Houses?
Prefab panel houses are a common type of building in everyday life. They are convenient to install and use, but in summer when temperatures are high they are more prone to fire. So how can we prevent that? Below we briefly discuss a few key points.
Use rock wool as the core material of prefab panels; do not use polystyrene or polyurethane. Rock wool has excellent fire resistance. After the building is completed, the core material must not be left exposed—the exterior should be metal such as color-coated steel.
Preferably do not run electrical wires through the middle of the core material. If there is no alternative, fit protective conduit on the wires, and switches, outlets, and similar fittings must use metal galvanized boxes installed as surface-mounted units, with residual-current (leakage) protection installed.
Newly built prefab panel houses should not be stacked too high—one story is enough—and they must not be used as electrical distribution rooms, kitchens, or warehouses for flammable and explosive materials.
When prefab panel houses are used as dormitories, doors and windows should open outward, beds should not be placed too densely, and a clear safety escape route should be left.
So, to avoid fires in prefab panel houses, keep the points above firmly in mind to ensure safety.
