Actually, I'm wondering why not more houses are build out of a metal-insulation sandwich contruction, one downside, no nails on the outside walls (but this can also be solved with a regular installation zone out of plywood, here is an example from one who built his own home out of a metal sandwich contruction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brcGQZWbeLI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brcGQZWbeLI according to him it was really cheap (don't know how it compares to wood framing with insulation)
wondering how prefacb metal sandwich construction compares to prefab wood framing (which is quite common here in germany)
- infecto 4y agoBarndominiums are really popular depending on where you live. I see them all the time in the United States, really popular for new construction custom home.
- Retric 4y agoWood beam construction is really fast, cheap, and easy to insulate or modify. People argue for all kinds of alternatives but the cost to construct a wood frame is only around 5% the cost of the home. Swapping to something else just doesn’t buy you much and most alternatives have significant downsides.
