Product Details
Integrated housing, also known as modular construction or prefabricated building, represents a true revolution in the construction industry. It has upended the traditional “design-on-site construction” model, shifting instead to a modern approach of “design-factory fabrication-on-site assembly.”
Part 1: What is an integrated house?
Core concept: Integrated housing is a type of construction in which components of a house—such as walls, floor slabs, and roofs—are prefabricated in a factory using standardized processes, then transported to the construction site for rapid assembly.
Core concept: “Parts are fabricated in the factory, and the house is assembled on-site.” Just like building with LEGO bricks, prefabricated modular components are joined together using reliable connection methods to create a complete structure.
Part Two: Main Types of Integrated Houses
According to their structural systems and intended uses, integrated houses are mainly categorized as follows:
1. Light steel structure integrated housing (mainstream form)
* Structure: The main load-bearing structure is made of cold-formed thin-walled steel or light steel framing. The walls are filled with thermal and acoustic insulation materials and covered on both the interior and exterior with decorative panels.
* Features: Lightweight, high strength, excellent seismic performance, good thermal insulation, and flexible design.
* Application: Widely used in residential buildings, villas, schools, hotels, office buildings, and more.
2. Container modular housing
* Structure: Based on standard shipping containers as the basic module, these containers are cut, modified, and fitted out in the factory and then stacked and joined together.
* Features: Extremely high structural strength, exceptionally easy to transport, fastest installation speed, and highly robust and durable.
* Applications: Temporary site facilities, camp dormitories, mobile shops, creative homestays, emergency shelters.
3. Wood-Frame Integrated Housing
* Structure: The main structure is constructed using modern engineered wood materials, such as SPF lumber, glulam, and OSB panels.
* Features: Naturally eco-friendly, comfortable and healthy, energy-efficient and heat-preserving, with excellent seismic resistance.
* Application: Low-rise residential buildings, vacation villas, and resort-area structures (harmonizing with the natural landscape).
4. Precast Concrete Modular Housing (PC Construction)
* Structure: The primary load-bearing components (walls, beams, slabs, and columns) are prefabricated in the factory and connected on-site via cast-in-place joints.
* Features: Structural performance is comparable to that of traditional buildings, boasts excellent fire resistance and durability, and exhibits a high degree of industrialization.
* Application: Multi-story and high-rise residential buildings, public buildings.
Part Three: Core Advantages and Features
1. Extremely fast construction speed:
* Foundation construction and factory production can be carried out simultaneously, enabling highly efficient on-site installation that saves 50% to 70% of the time compared to conventional construction methods. The main structure of a 200-square-meter building can be installed in just a few days.
2. Stable and reliable quality:
* The factory-based production environment is stable, utilizing precision machinery and equipment. The production process is standardized, effectively avoiding the common human errors and weather-related issues encountered in on-site construction. As a result, product quality is consistent and fully controllable.
3. Green, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient:
* Construction process: Dry-process construction, saving more than 80% of water, reducing construction waste by over 70%, and significantly lowering noise and dust pollution.
* Material itself: The primary materials (steel and wood) are 100% recyclable, aligning with the principles of sustainable development.
* Usage process: The wall is filled with high-efficiency insulation material, offering excellent sealing and outstanding thermal performance, resulting in low energy consumption over the long term.
4. Excellent safety performance:
* Earthquake resistance: Light steel and wood structures are lightweight and highly ductile, enabling them to effectively absorb seismic energy and offering significantly superior earthquake resistance compared to brick-and-concrete structures.
* Wind resistance: The structure boasts strong integrity, and its design and connecting components ensure safety even at high wind speeds.
* Fire resistance: By using fire-rated gypsum boards, fire-retardant coatings, and other materials, we can meet various levels of fire protection requirements.
5. Thermal insulation, heat insulation, and soundproofing:
* The composite wall is internally filled with high-efficiency materials such as glass wool and rock wool, forming a complete thermal insulation and soundproofing system that significantly outperforms traditional brick walls, creating a more comfortable and quieter indoor environment.
6. Flexible and aesthetically pleasing design:
* Steel structures boast high material strength, making it easy to achieve large spans and spacious designs. They offer flexible interior space layouts, feature modern and diverse exterior appearances, and are not constrained by traditional architectural forms.
Part Four: Major Application Areas
* Residential housing: New rural development, self-built houses, villas, and vacation homes.
* Public buildings: Schools, kindergartens, hospitals, clinics, office buildings, exhibition halls.
* Commercial space: Hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, sales offices, and shops.
* Temporary structure: Construction site camps, temporary municipal housing, and emergency disaster relief shelters.
* Special purpose: Mobile toilets, guard booths, equipment rooms, and the like.
Part 5: Technical Specifications and Configuration (Optional Purchase Reference)
When choosing an integrated house, you can pay attention to the following parameters:
| Parameter Category | Specific Item | Description/Common Metrics |
| Main Structure | Keel Material/Thickness | Typically made of Q235 or Q355 high-strength galvanized steel, with thickness ranging from 0.8 mm to 2.0 mm; the galvanizing weight is ≥120 g/m² for rust prevention. |
| Maintenance System | Exterior Wall Panels | Metal carved panels, cement fiber boards, wood-grain hanging panels, etc.—different materials affect both aesthetics and durability. |
| | Interior wall panels | Fire-resistant gypsum boards, calcium silicate boards, cement fiberboards, etc. |
| | Roofing Systems | Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, color-coated steel roofing, etc.—waterproofing rating is key. |
| Thermal Insulation and Soundproofing | Insulation Materials | Glass wool (commonly used), rock wool (better fire resistance), polystyrene (EPS), etc.; pay attention to their density and thickness. |
| | Soundproofing Performance | Weighted sound insulation rating (Rw), typically reaching over 40–50 dB. |
| Performance Indicator | Fire Rating | Typically achieves Class A (non-combustible) or meets design requirements (e.g., a fire resistance rating of 1 hour). |
| | Seismic Design | Typically meets seismic design requirements of Grade 8 or higher. |
| | Energy-saving standards | The wall thermal transmittance (K-value) can meet the national energy-saving standards of 65% or 75%. |
| Configuration Options | Doors and Windows | Break-bridge aluminum alloy doors and windows, PVC doors and windows, etc.; double-glazed hollow glass is available as an option. |
| | Plumbing and Electrical Systems | Pre-installation of pipelines can be arranged according to requirements, providing a complete plumbing and electrical system solution. |
| | Renovation | Customizable from shell renovation to fully finished interiors, even including whole-house smart home systems. |
