Metal change houses: an overview of the types and tips for choosing

A happy event has come: you have purchased a plot for construction. However, not always people can immediately start building a house. Some are short of funds and others are unable to start the main process due to weather conditions. What if there is no building on your land where you can at least temporarily settle down? Do not put up a tent? Of course not. For this there are cabins.

Of course, even on the smallest piece of land, it is necessary to install a temporary room where you can accommodate yourself or arrange a space for storing tools. These issues are quickly resolved if you install any change house.

All cabins are divided by type of layout.

• If the room is divided into two parts by a corridor, then this is a vest. This distribution of space allows you to use it for living and organizing a warehouse.
• The design, where there are no internal partitions, is called a dummy. This space can be used to accommodate several people at once.
• The main room, equipped with a small vestibule, can be used for living even in the cold season.

If we talk about weight, then everything here depends on the size of the structure and the materials from which it is made. A standard shed is approximately 2.5 meters high and 6 meters long.The width can vary from 3 to 4 meters.

So, let's look at the main types of cabins.

• Metal change house Is a mobile view that can be easily moved from place to place. There is no need to build a foundation for it, and this saves time and money.

• Iron shed durable, resistant to temperature changes, fireproof. The weight of such a structure is approximately 3 tons. They are made shortened or elongated. But the width never changes.

• For summer cottages and personal plots, people choose wooden change houses... These options are relatively inexpensive. Moreover, their manufacture does not require significant costs. The main thing is that the wood is treated with a special compound, since the wood lends itself to rotting and burning. For this option, it is imperative to make a foundation. It can be crafted from building blocks.

To find out more about this, you need to compare metal and wood products, based on the dimensions - these are length, width, height.

• A metal structure with dimensions 6x3x2.5 weighs from 2.5 tons and more. Another metal construction measuring 6x2.5x2.5 weighs from two to three tons.
• A 6x2.4x2.5 wooden shed weighs about one and a half tons. The change house, consisting of sandwich panels and measuring 6x2.4x2.5, weighs two tons and more.

Based on these calculations, it is possible to determine what carrying capacity a vehicle must have so that it can transport the temporary hut to another location.

It should be borne in mind that the weight of standard cabins is easier to determine.This means that you will not have any difficulties with their transportation. When buying a change house from the manufacturer, you are required to present documents, which will indicate the weight and dimensions of the product. If you decide to assemble a small structure yourself, then you will also have to calculate its weight yourself.

So, before buying or building a change house, you need to consider all the nuances that either support your impulse or you change your mind. Many are inclined to believe that cabins have certain advantages:

• even temporary, but comfortable living conditions with a bathroom, electricity, warm living conditions and even a kitchen;
• this does not require large investments;
• they have high quality materials and environmental friendliness;
• after building a house, a temporary structure can be sold and partially refunded;
• very quickly you can build a whole campus for workers or organize office space.

Next, you need to decide what kind of change house you want and for what purposes you will use it. Temporos come in a variety of shapes and are made from a variety of materials. Let's consider them in order.

Construction and summer cottages made of metal are quite durable. Not every thief will dare to break an iron wall or door in order to get inside. From such structures, you can make up whole residential complexes (change houses can be made multi-storey, this saves space) or install only one at a summer cottage.

The inside of the cabins is equipped with portable partitions. And this is very convenient, since it is easy to place guards in this space, arrange a storage room. Despite the fact that the price for metal change houses is much higher than for wooden ones, they are not deprived of demand.

Now you need to decide on the advantages of metal temporary structures:

• easily move from place to place;
• fairly high strength;
• you can build multi-tiered structures;
• mechanisms and machines are easily placed inside;
• do not collapse from negative factors;
• relative fire resistance.

These structures also have their disadvantages:

• in comparison with wooden change houses, they have a high cost;
• in the heat, the metal heats up, and in cold weather, the internal heat quickly leaves;
• rainfall, such as rain, creates indoor noise.

Construction cabins made of wood also have their advantages. For example, in summer cottages, it is easier to build a temporary structure out of wood and sheathe it with siding for beauty. It will be quick and convenient. A trailer made of metal must be transported using special equipment, as opposed to a wooden structure. Disassembled, its delivery is greatly simplified. Consider other benefits.

• Construction cabins made of wood are quickly installed on construction sites. The workers organize their daily life and start to work in a mobile way.
• Such buildings are warm and cozy.
• They have a price lower than metal cabins.

These constructions also have their drawbacks:

• they are fire hazardous;
• it is necessary to spend some time for their construction and arrangement;
• short service life.

A variety of options makes it possible to choose exactly the one that you need. Let's consider the most popular ones.

• Container. This option may not meet all the living requirements if it is small, but it can accommodate tools and equipment. Large container requires interior decoration. It must be insulated with extruded polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, polyurethane foam or mineral wool, and then sheathe the walls with wood for convenience and beauty. Remember to insert a vapor barrier between metal and wood. After that, this space can be used as temporary housing.

• A change house from a professional sheet will be an excellent option. To make it, you first need to build a frame and only then sheathe it with corrugated board material. But first of all, decide on the size of the future structure. Consider the number of people and additional rooms. The frame can be made of wood or metal.

The change house from the metal profile must be insulated from the inside. For this, materials such as extruded polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, polyurethane foam or the same mineral wool are suitable. Don't forget about vapor barrier. It can be provided with a special heat-shielding material.

To correctly determine the device of the change house, you need to clarify the following points.

• What the future module will be intended for. Perhaps you will install it in your summer cottage. The head of a construction company will be able to place workers or office workers in the change house.
• Having decided on the purpose, you will get acquainted with the degree of quality factor and durability of the structure.
• Then you need to choose the dimensions and interior layout. The comfortable accommodation of people will depend on this.
• It is imperative to know the cost per square meter.
• Decide on the quality of interior and exterior decoration. If you plan on staying in the winter, then a more serious approach is required.
• It is necessary to choose thermal insulation (find out its thickness and determine the type of material).
