Russian Style Steel structure prefab house, which has been applied in many countries of North America for more than 25 years. Currently, it is the only technology which can adopt 100% cold-formed thin-walled steel to construct the building with 7 stories, and it is especially suitable for the prefab house as single villa, as beach house, holiday house and residential house.
The main body of building member for this technology system is miniature bridge frame which is composed of light thin wall square tube (rectangle tube) undergoing galvanization cold-formed high-frequency welding and triangular V-shaped connector. This bridge frame may be adopted for building beam, wall, floor, as well as roof. In a word, miniature bridge frame adopting this rectangular tube structure may be adopted as all kinds of light steel structure prefab houses in building houses, and all the building members above are manufactured in the factory which are then transported to construction field for performing installation of major structure. Then internal and external wall plate and tectiform timber are laid. Meanwhile vacant spaces of wall, floor plate and roof bridge frame are filled with thermal insulation, sound insulating materials.
REDUCED CONSTRUCTION COST
More compact than most other building systems
Lighter than most other systems
Reduced shipping cost
Assembly by local on-site reduces cost
Heavy Equipment is not needed
Faster construction schedule
REDUCED LABOR COST
Requires mostly unskilled labor to produce product
Substantially speeds up the construction process
Assembly by local on-site labor reduces cost
Only light tools are required for assembly
MECHANICAL & THERMAL
Steelvilla steel structure house system installs without cutting holes
Electrical wire can be installed without plastic Grommets
Electrical & Mechanical installation is much more simplified, easier to install
Substantially less heat gain & less heat loss than other systems
Thermal break from outside to inside
FLEXIBILITY
Excellent load to weight retio
Allows greater floor & roof spans
Integrates easily with other building systems & finishes
Simple to work with, fast learning curve
HURRICANES
Strong than most other systems
Surpasses 120 MPH wind tests
Passes “DEDE COUNTY” code, tested in the “Florida Hurrican Alley”
EARTHQUAKE RESISTENT
Meets or exceeds the requirements of earthquake standards for most earthquake prone areas
The Design of the structure is engineered to withstand earthquake tremors & shock waves, with a built-in racking design
LIGHTER
Lighter than wood
Substantially lighter than masonry or concrete
Light enough to be assembled & erected by hand
Labor & shipping cost are reduced sue to the weight of the product
STRONGTER
Steelvilla steel structure house system is strong than wood construction
Greater Spans than wood & many other materials
Fire resistant
FASTER CONSTRUCTION
No holes to drill or cut-out for wire & piping
Virtually eliminates boxing-in around mechanical work
Requires less material than other systems
Less labor intensive than most other systems
Easily integrates with other building systems
GREATER FLOOR & ROOF SPANS
Web steel has a higher load capacity than “C” channel or wood
Helps Eliminate the requirements for beams in many cases
Greater spans than wood, remanufactured wood products, or “C” channel
Can be produced in virtually any length
SIMPLE TO WORK WITH
Can be assembled with mostly unskilled labor
Uses only simple tools to assemble
Standards carpenter practices & tools are used
OTHER BENEFITS
Rodent proof
Termite proof
Rot resistant
Rust resistant
Why russian style prefab house?
Benefit for the end-users and developers
Cost Benefits - Lower costs of construction and long-term maintenance
Healthy environment – better indoor air quality without toxic gases, no mould growth
Energy saving – low heat transfer coefficient, thus huge savings for space heating and cooling, the embodied energy is 35% less than the traditional steel reinforced concrete frame.
Lightweight - reduced foundation costs, reduced requirements for subsoil, add more floors to an existing building
Long lasting – more than 70 years
Fast Construction – 2-3 times faster than conventional structure
No restrictions -no architectural design restrictions
High strength to weight ratio - longer spans, thus larger open spaces without Columns, less load bearing elements, thus flexibility for future modifications
Anti-earthquake – it can resist earthquakes up to 8 level and reduce the influence of shake due to its soft and light structure, also it can transfer the strength from the earthquake to all the wedge-shaped and triangular steel structures, during this, the earthquake is offset each other.
Fire resisting - Galvanized steel frame is non-combustible fire rated 2.5 (up to 4 hours if requested)
Anti-wind - light and strong plastic steel with good deforming capability can resist 0.5KN/O wind
Sound insulation – wall-51dB, floor 78dB
Efficient use of architectural area – 8%-10% more usable space
One supplier - supply & installation through one contract, simplicity in coordination
Cleaner & safer construction sites – no waste manufacturing process, very low waste construction waste, no loose materials around the site, low waste disposal cost
Water saving – almost dry construction – 90% water saving.
Increased flexibility – less workers during construction, less area for material storage required, no traffic disruption in urban construction
Why STEELVILLA? : Benefits for the Environment - ECO friendly
No prolusion – low waste, low dust
Energy saving – The embodied energy is 35% less than the traditional steel reinforced concrete frame, low heat transfer coefficient, thus huge savings for space heating and cooling
Resources saving – uses almost entirely recyclable materials
Sound insulation – wall-51dB, floor 78dB
Water saving – almost dry construction – 90% water saving
Lower gases emissions – reduced transportation needs
