Prefab Eco Homes: Quality and Energy Efficiency
Prefab homes are high in quality and stand out for their energy efficiency, making them a sustainable and innovative choice for modern living. However, some myths persist, so let's fact-check them.
Debunking Myths about Prefab Homes Quality and Energy Efficiency
Myth: "Prefab houses lack quality and craftsmanship."
Reality:
Prefab homes offer the highest quality construction. Industrial production in controlled environments ensures that all components are precisely fabricated under optimal conditions. Exterior walls, interior walls, and ceilings are stored in dry conditions and are protected against rain during transportation. On-site professionals quickly and accurately assemble these components, maintaining upmost high-quality standards.
Industrial production in controlled environments ensures that all components are precisely fabricated under optimal conditions. This results in high-quality construction with consistent standards and reduced chances of defects.
Myth: "A prefab house is less energy-efficient."
Reality:
Prefab homes are exceptionally energy-efficient. They feature excellent thermal insulation, with walls constructed using modern timber frame methods and multiple layers of highly effective, space-saving insulation materials.
The low thermal conductivity of wood prevents cold bridges on the façade.
Additionally, regenerative heating systems and advanced building technology further enhance energy efficiency. Some prefab homes, known as plus-energy houses, generate more electricity and heat from renewable sources than they consume. Wood, being a renewable raw material, is also CO2-neutral, as trees absorb carbon dioxide during their growth.
Prefab homes are high in quality and stand out for their energy efficiency, making them a sustainable and innovative choice for modern living.
