Frame construction system
For the construction of prefabricated houses, we use a well-proven frame construction system that brings numerous advantages compared to traditional construction.
Wooden prefabricated houses have been built all over the world for hundreds of years, and accordingly, the technological solutions used for the construction and assembly of houses are constantly developing, becoming higher quality, safer, and smarter.
At Radman Homes, we always strive to follow, even set, trends in prefabricated construction, and this is proven by our many years of experience in building prefabricated buildings in Sweden.
Currently, the construction of our prefabricated wooden houses relies on the well-proven frame construction system, which has a long history, but which really flourished during the 20th century. Today, the frame system has been refined almost to perfection and offers excellent characteristics for the construction of prefabricated wooden houses.
A frame system is essentially the framework or skeleton of a house or other prefabricated structure. It is made of wooden beams and posts and is carefully placed on a foundation according to construction plans. The wooden frame provides structural support for the entire structure . The posts and beams are arranged so that they can support the load of the roof, walls, and other parts of the house or other structure.
Panels are placed on the finished wooden frame of the prefabricated building to close the external and internal walls and the roof. The most commonly used panels are made of wood such as plywood, OSB boards and other types of board materials such as gypsum fiber and cement boards.
In addition, insulation is placed between the panels to ensure the energy efficiency and comfort of the prefabricated building. Insulation can be made of various materials, such as conventional, mineral wool – stone and glass, Styrofoam, and even natural, environmentally friendly materials such as straw, wood fibers, cellulose, etc.
The frame prefabricated construction system is popular for its speed, adaptability, and energy efficiency. This method allows for the construction of quality buildings with less time and resources compared to traditional construction methods.
What should be emphasized when it comes to the frame construction system is that this type of wood is available anywhere and does not require a high-tech industry to produce the components for the frame elements. That’s why the frame building system is stimulating for the local community and can be a driver of development in rural areas.
