PREFABRICATED HOUSES – A TREND IN CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT

Prefabricated houses are a trend in continuous development. And this is perfectly

explicable, considering the length of execution of these wooden constructions, much less

than the classic version (even by 50%).

Unconventional wooden houses are easy to build, durable and economical. In

fact, some of these houses are not so out of the ordinary as it can make you believe the

unconventional term. Rather, they are homes whose initial destination was vacation, but

which have proved to be suitable for long-term living due to the many benefits.

Examples are OSB or wooden houses. Originally built for holiday, in mountain

resorts and rural areas, where they fit perfectly into the landscape, wooden houses have

increasingly been seen as models to be taken into account for permanent living.

The OSB houses or so-called American houses are constructed as follows: the

walls are prefabricated, with a wooden structure; inside are plastered with plasterboard,

and on the outside with OSB boards; between plasterboard and OSB there is insulation

with cotton or cellulose; assemble piece by piece.

In addition to the price advantage, prefabricated houses are environmentally

friendly and can be equipped with solar panels and LED lighting. Additionally, there is

also a variant where this type of house can be build without the need for a cement

foundation.

Wooden houses are perfect for a summer holiday in an isolated mountainous

place, because their location involves little effort and minimal changes.

Housing of this type has a high degree of versatility because its components can

be configured in various ways (sideways, one over the other, etc.). Then wood houses

are energy-efficient and customizable. In addition, they have increased resistance to

shocks, including seismic.
