Panel houses

A timber frame & panel house is a structure assembled on a timber frame and sheathed with rigid panels. It is a fast and efficient technology of house building.

Timber frame & panel houses manufactured by Gosstroy are custom-designed. All the elements of a house are manufactured on Weinmann equipment (Germany). Following this technology, all the utility networks are mounted inside the walls. Reliability and durability of a timber frame & panel house is ensured by in-mill control of the assembly quality.

Term of construction

Computerized production processes considerably reduce the period of construction. Thanks to the flow process a timber frame & panel house is assembled into two days. All the utility networks are embedded into walls and overlaps.

On a finished foundation a framework of a timber frame & panel house is assembled into 1 or 2 days.

Finishing takes 5-7 days. Thus, one timber frame & panel house could be assembled in eight (8) working days by a brigade of six (6) persons and a 40 m boom crane with a carrying capacity of 30 t.

Cost

Large-scale production of frame & panel houses contributes to their affordable cost of construction of a turnkey basis due to:

• Computer-aided manufacture of house structures;
• Availability of prerequisites for using a lighter and more economically efficient foundation;
• Minimum cost of the house assembly on site.

Walls of a frame house are composed of:

1. Multi-layer plaster that protects inner layers from atmospheric impact and serves as decoration of the wall. It can be painted the color you want to make a house of individual style.

2. Wood fiber insulation board, the latest development of the wood-working industry. A unique structure of the board makes it a ‘breathing board'. It does not absorb moisture, but, on the contrary, forwards it outside. An 80 mm layer provides additional heat insulation and noise protection.

3. A glued beam framework is a reliable and at the same time light support of the house. This framework stands earthquakes up to 9 degrees Richter scale.

4. A 150 mm glass wool board heat insulating panel serves as the main thermal insulator. It does not absorb moisture even under a powerful water jet. It is noise- and fire-proof.

5. Oriented strand board (OSB)is a composite material 18 mm thick that adds to the structure firmness. It has higher moisture resistance (Grade III OSB) and lacks common drawbacks of wood: it does not rot, does not crumble, and is not damaged by insects.

6. Gypsum board is an ideal base for any internal finishing commencing from plaster and ceramic tiles to wallpaper and other materials according to your preferences.
