Panel houses - easy and convenient

Anyone who plans to repair in his apartment must take into account the type of construction of the building, as it affects the planning and implementation of constructive solutions. The most common type of buildings in our country are panel houses, since the cost of their construction is relatively small.

History of panel constructions

The widespread use of panel houses was in the 70s of the last century. In the people they were called "Khrushchevs." The advantage of such buildings was the possibility of rapidly erecting 5-6 storey buildings in large numbers. The downside was the identity of both the external and internal types of buildings. Carrying out repair of an apartment in a panel house, it is necessary to take into account many of its features. Thus, the redevelopment of apartments in such buildings is complicated by the fact that most of the walls perform a load-bearing function. To make the transfer of the doorway, it is necessary to strengthen its metal structure, which can load the interior.

In addition, it is also difficult to stoke the walls, which is necessary for laying new pipes or electrical wiring. During this procedure, you can not only stumble on the metal bar of the panel, but also violate the supporting function of the wall, if its thickness does not exceed 15 cm. It should be noted that the panel houses were built slightly more than 40 years ago, and the quality of their assembly leaves much to be desired. For their erection, it was necessary to attract a crane and align the panels horizontally and vertically, which, when the buildings were massive, were often not carried out. Therefore, when plastering walls in such apartments, in order to achieve their parallelism, they will have to apply a thick layer of the mixture or use additional alignment technologies.

Kinds

If you buy an apartment, if possible, pay attention to the panel-frame houses. This type of buildings is quite common abroad (Canada, Germany, USA). In these countries they are used for year-round living. The erection of such houses is also a very rapid process, since the walls come out from the factory sometimes with windows, window-sills, ebbs, external and internal trim inserted. All this is possible due to the lack of shrinkage of panel-frame houses. For 2 days you can build a building with an area of 150 m ² . A special feature of this design is complete protection of the premises from blowing. This is achieved through a special technology of laying insulation. It is laid out on the walls with layers, the seams of which are performed with overlap. The facade is closed by a building slab and remains monolithic. The building panel is a very strong, but at the same time lightweight construction. Prefabricated (panel) houses of the new generation are very cozy, warm and environmentally friendly. They are made of wood, which makes their appearance more attractive and unrepeatable. Repair in the panel-frame house can be carried out the same after the settlement. Since shrinkage does not threaten the building, there will be no changes in the interior finish in the near future.
