Frame- panel houses built according to standards frame technology: construction of the frame, installation of insulation, cladding. Features of the method are that the panels for frame houses with laid insulation they are made at the factory, and the assembly of the house goes much faster. Depending on what part of the house kit is made in a factory, there are several types of panel houses, differing in construction time, budget, design approach: houses made of sip panels, frame-panel or frame-panel, modular.
Construction of frame-panel houses - classic technology and quick assembly
Frame-panel or assembled from elements prepared at the factory. Finished walls are made using high-precision equipment. Construction companies offer standard house kits or individual design to order.
Basic principles of frame technology
Frame houses are popular because short terms construction and efficiency. Using this technology, a frame is first made of beams and boards, then insulation, membrane layers that protect from moisture and wind, and a vapor barrier are installed. The structure is sheathed on both sides with sheet materials, and then external and internal cladding is made finishing materials.
In a traditional frame house, all the "layers" of the wall assembled on site according to a pre-developed project. Sometimes they talk about prefabricated frame houses, meaning ready-made house kits in which wooden elements and the panels are prepared in production to the dimensions of a specific project and marked. At a construction site, they are assembled like a construction kit according to drawings.
Design and production of house kits for frame-panel houses
Manufacturing is automated: window and door openings and even holes for sockets are cut in advance. But the degree of automation of production at different enterprises differs.
The most advanced automation option - design drawings are loaded into a computer, the location of technological openings and places for stitching frame elements are specified. The output is ready-to-assemble elements with virtually no manual processing.
House kits are made according to standard samples, minor changes in planning are possible, but must be done before going into production. Calculation and production of an individual project is much more expensive than a standard one, and the equipment has to be rebuilt. Delivered directly to the site finished walls and the house is assembled, and the exterior is made by hand.
Advantages and disadvantages of frame-panel houses
Advantages:
- faster assembly compared to standard frame technology;
- no shrinkage, the ability to immediately begin finishing;
- the use of a lightweight foundation and, as a result, budget savings;
- energy efficiency comparable to a brick house;
- fire safety due to the use of self-extinguishing materials for the production of panels.
Flaws:
- increase in cost compared to a standard frame;
- service life - 50-60 years;
- impossibility of making changes during the construction process;
- need for installation supply ventilation, although some manufacturers claim that simple ventilation is sufficient for summer houses;
- difficulty in redevelopment after some time.
Houses made from SIP panels
Vulture frame houses are assembled from panels made according to the sandwich principle: a block of polystyrene glued between sheets of OSB using polyurethane glue. The use of oriented strand boards significantly speeds up construction, since three layers have already been combined and all that remains is to cover them with finishing materials outside and inside. The insulation does not need to be installed separately and the house is built faster than a classic frame.
Design Features
Manufactured at the factory. Polyurethane glue is applied to the OSB sheet, a polystyrene board is placed, glue is added again, a second sheet of OSB is placed on top and pressed with a press. The OSB sheets protrude 2.5-5 cm beyond the edges of the polystyrene. This creates a “groove” that is used to attach the panel to the frame beam. The quality of the panels is determined by the grade of polystyrene, OSB and the correctness of the geometry.
The construction of a house from sip panels begins with the foundation. After the foundation is ready, they do timber frame and bottom floor from sip panels. Then they build a frame in which the step vertical racks equal to the width of the panel, and start from the side of the house. The panels are attached to the racks using the tongue-and-groove method, having previously been applied to polystyrene polyurethane foam. As a result, all voids at the joint are completely filled.
Advantages and disadvantages of a house made from SIP panels
Advantages:
- speed of installation;
- no complicated equipment is needed - workers install lightweight panels by hand; a team of 3-5 people is enough to assemble a house;
- expanded polystyrene is a self-extinguishing material; if the panel is removed from the fire zone, it will go out. therefore, in terms of fire safety, a structure made of sip panels is better than a wooden one;
- for supporting comfortable temperature Electric heaters are sufficient.
Flaws:
- small compared to brick houses The service life of the panels is a conditional minus. Some manufacturers are already claiming tests showing that polystyrene will not degrade for about 80 years;
- The customer cannot control the quality of manufacturing of sip panels. If there is a cavity inside, it will form bridge of cold, and efforts to heat the house are reduced to nothing. Violation of the geometry leads to installation difficulties. The only way To avoid mistakes - contact manufacturers who use high-quality certified components and provide a guarantee.
European traditions in frame construction
In Russia, houses have been built using frame technology since the end of the last century; in Europe, active construction began already in the 50s. Our builders adopted the experience of their colleagues, and the technologies received appropriate names: Finnish, German.
Finns are big believers in maximizing natural materials in combination with modern technologies: the frame is usually made of laminated veneer lumber, cellulose is used as insulation, and the structure is sheathed with wood.
German manufacturers of frame house kits often use basalt wool , and for cladding - cement-bonded particle board. The fire safety of the house and the speed of construction come first. All materials used are fire-resistant or self-extinguishing, and the assembly technology has been worked out to the smallest detail.
Lightweight structure - inexpensive foundation
Distinctive feature frame buildings- small specific gravity. Light load allows you not to make a massive foundation, but to get by with an inexpensive pile-screw, shallow-depth strip or support-column foundation. Shallow foundations are suitable for heaving soils, characteristic of many regions of Russia; they are not deformed by “swelling” of the soil during freezing.
Pile-screw foundations They are convenient because they can be done at any time of the year in just two days. The use of piles helps to cope with height differences on the site and does not require any preliminary preparation soil. Before construction begins, a test screwing is done to determine where the solid ground begins. After installing the piles, a bottom frame is made of timber and treated with bitumen mastic to prevent rotting of the wood.
Modular houses - construction in a few days
The construction of houses from large modules, entirely produced at a factory, is a popular European method that is gradually taking root in Russian realities. Houses using this technology are designed according to the “constructor” principle, combining several modules of rooms and roofs for the construction of one building.
Factory production of modules
At the factory, the frame of the module is assembled, it is insulated, windows and doors are installed, and external cladding and interior finishing are done. The walls are made in the same way as in frame method construction: a layer of insulation between two panels, membranes, outer and interior lining. The difference is that all these layers are made at the factory; wires and pipes for the bathroom are immediately laid inside, and the roof is separated into a separate module.
Modules have standard sizes And fit together like construction parts. When designing, allowable dimensions for transportation. In Russia: width – 2.5 m, and the length of the elements is calculated taking into account the transport used for transportation. When ordering, manufacturers provide the opportunity to choose a design and finish. Possible: , lining, siding and other modern materials.
Delivery and installation of the house
Transportation requires heavy equipment and crane. The structure is usually installed on a pile-screw foundation, which can be done at any time of the year and with any ground relief. Two to three days are enough to install such a foundation.
Assembly of modular frame house takes 1-2 days, most of the time is spent on sealing the joints between the modules to avoid heat loss. Electric wires, coming out of adjacent modules, are connected and the junction points are covered with junction boxes. After assembly, only minor work remains interior decoration and plumbing installation.
Advantages and disadvantages of modular houses
Advantages:
- assembly speed - several days;
- independence from weather and season;
- availability of finishing;
- Possibility of house transportation to a new location: the modules are separated, transported and reassembled, only the foundation is made anew;
- Energy efficiency of the house allows you to save on heating.
Flaws:
- heavy equipment will not reach everyone locality due to bad roads;
- The customer cannot control the production of the house kit at the factory. And if a mistake is made, for example, there are voids in the wall, this is fraught with large heat losses and discomfort;
- service life is approximately 50 years, and since the technology has been used not so long ago, there are no verified data on service life.
Frame-panel houses are a promising technology. If you don’t have time for long construction and the desire to delve into technological subtleties, and you need a house quickly - this method is ideal. Prefabricated houses are universal: they are used for permanent residence And summer cottages, as a guest house or as a temporary option until more permanent housing is built.

Advantages and disadvantages different types houses are identified both at the construction stage and during operation. Panel-frame structures are becoming increasingly popular today. Unique technology allows for assembly of the structure in the shortest possible time. Due to its lightness, the house practically does not shrink, which means that finishing work can begin immediately after construction.
In terms of durability, they are inferior to brick and concrete structures. In addition, such houses require a ventilation system. Unlike log buildings, they are less environmentally friendly, the reason for this is the use of various insulation materials.
What are the opinions?
“Who would doubt the relevance of frame houses - minimum costs and rapid construction fully explain this. Having worked in a construction company for more than three years, I made a corresponding conclusion for myself (they were based on reviews of frame-panel houses from many customers) - it is better to invest more money in the construction itself than to “patch” holes later. The main problem is poor insulation load-bearing structure“The rooms get cold quickly, hence the additional costs.”
Oleg Eroshkin, Moscow.
“As the owner of such a house, I can unequivocally state that the microclimate internal space leaves much to be desired. In winter you have to ventilate the rooms often because it’s stuffy, and in summer it’s hot. However, as I found out, the problem can be solved - just adjust the ventilation system. In general, some shortcomings are covered by other advantages - the opportunity to save on the foundation and building materials, and already move into your own home for 4 months.”
Andrey Shelestov, Nizhny Novgorod.
“For their construction, they use ready-made factory material - panels (for those who don’t know, this is a layer of OSB boards and expanded polystyrene). It's hard to imagine that they can provide reliability and durability. Problems arise when installing wall-mounted furniture, and these are not the only disadvantages of this structure. But in other cases, when financial possibilities are limited, frame house can be considered as one of the options for future housing.”
Arthur Usmanov, Kazan.
“A lot also depends on the assembly of the frame. Poorly conducted installation work can lead to disastrous consequences - “creaking”, greenhouse effect. During assembly Special attention should be given to an exhaust system that promotes good air circulation. This will rid the room of stuffiness, condensation and everything that negatively affects the longevity of the house. Although its service life is clearly inferior to the “durability” of brick buildings.”
Sergey Eliseev, Saransk.
“OSB boards contain harmful phenol-formaldehyde resins, so I recommend replacing them with LSU or DSP analogues. In most cases, mineral wool is used as insulation, but for the same reason, give preference to expanded polystyrene. When choosing the second material, pay attention to the fire resistance class; G2, G1 are suitable. Ideally, frame-panel buildings are more suitable for summer seasonal recreation (for example, in the form country house), but not for year-round use."
Anastasia Lapina, Moscow.
“Panel walls in such houses are easily damaged. Intruders getting into your home special labor will not amount to. As has already been noted in reviews of frame house owners, mineral wool is not the best solution as insulation. One of the reasons is the inability of the material to breathe. Hence, again, condensation, high humidity– everything that will lead to the appearance of mold and the proliferation of fungal microorganisms. Therefore, it is better to use mineral wool together with CBPB boards.”
Maxim Bernst, Barnaul. 
Turnkey construction price
Quality largely depends on the literacy, responsibility and professionalism of the developer. The design itself, the construction of the house itself, is confirmed by a contractual basis. It also discusses the cost of building materials and services of professional workers. Moscow prices for a turnkey prefabricated frame house:
|
Type of work |
Cost (rubles/m2) |
| Laying the foundation | 3 500 |
| Installation of the frame, external and internal partitions | 9 950 |
| Roof installation | 1 450 |
| Installation of window and door structures | 1 500 |
| Exterior finishing (facade) | 1 850 |
| Engineering | 2 650 |
| Interior decoration | 3 150 |
| Electrical work | 950 |
Prices are ambiguous and may be presented differently by different construction companies. An agreement is drawn up between the two parties (the developer and the customer), which stipulates all the conditions of construction: from the cost of building materials to the stages of construction.
Of course, such houses have been built on a large scale in the USA, Japan, and England for 60-70 years now. recent years. And only today frame-panel houses have firmly established themselves in the vast expanses of the CIS. A panel frame house is characterized by walls assembled from a timber frame and specially prepared SIP panels. In turn, SIP panels are two bonded chipboards, fiberboard, etc. with insulation laid between them. Such construction is also called “Canadian technology”.
Frame construction is carried out in several stages, but the most important point is assembling the frame of the house and attaching finished panels to it. Subsequently, all that remains is to bring communications to the cottage and decorate it inside and out.
Houses built using frame-panel technology, from the outside with competent exterior decoration no different from standard stone or wooden cottages. But at the same time, panel houses have a number of advantages.
Features of a frame-panel house
Important: the most important advantage of a Canadian house is the complete absence of shrinkage. This means that you can move into the cottage immediately after construction is completed.
In addition to such a compelling criterion in favor of panel-frame, you can add the following advantages:
- A cottage can be built using Canadian technology in the shortest possible time. Most often, only 2 months pass from the start of construction to its end.
- Panel-frame cottages can be built at any time of the year. If only not during the rainy season, to avoid getting the panels and frame of the house wet.
- A house assembled from SIP panels on a prepared frame has low thermal conductivity. Thus, walls that resemble a kind of construction sandwich are able to retain heat in the house for a long time.
- High energy efficiency when heating such a cottage. Again, due to high-quality assembled walls made of SIP panels.
- In addition, the mass finished house does not exceed 40 tons, which allows you to save on foundation installation. Here it will be possible to arrange a lightweight version of the base, such as a pile or shallow-buried strip.
Important: in order for the construction of a panel frame house to be of the highest quality and efficiency, you can purchase a ready-made house kit, which is simply assembled directly on the site from existing clearly fitted parts.
Houses using Canadian technology: prices
To understand how profitable it will be to build a private panel house using Canadian technology, we suggest considering the prices for installing such a cottage at different conditions material purchases:
- So, if the customer decides to purchase a ready-made SIP house kit and assemble it with his own hands on a foundation he has already prepared himself, then the price of such construction will cost approximately $85/m2.
- If the purchased house kit is assembled by specialists using the foundation prepared by the customer, then the cost of building a m2 of such a cottage will already be $115.
- If the customer buys a house kit and orders the entire scope of work from installing the foundation to installing all communications in the house, then the price of such a cottage will be $225/m2.
Building a house using Canadian technology
Stage 1: design
Houses made from SIP panels generally have one floor. In some cases, it is possible to build a cottage on two levels, but the peculiarities of the climate in the region under construction should be taken into account. Such a cottage does not need wind.
The convenience of Canadian technology lies in the fact that absolutely any project can be developed for a frame-panel house. If only there was enough finance. However, most often for such cottages they use ready-made standard projects. But in any case, if there is a desire to have unique house, different from everyone else in cottage village, then you can give the task to a specialist so that he can develop individual project for a panel-frame house.
Stage 2: foundation
After preparing the project, the foundation is prepared for the panel-frame house. It is usually made in two types:
- Pile/column. Most often used on heaving soils. Pillars or piles are deepened into the ground to a level of 2.5 meters. In this case, a sand and gravel cushion with a total thickness of 30-40 cm must be poured under the supports. All supports should be located in the corners of the frame house, under load-bearing walls and at the junctions of partitions.
Important: if the supports are poured from concrete, they must be reinforced.
- Tape shallow. This type of base costs about three times less than a standard tape contour. The parameters of the shallow base in this case can be 30x40 cm (width/depth) plus thickness sand cushion. During the process of pouring the contour, it must be waterproofed from below and on the sides, and also reinforced.
Important: strip foundation cannot be built on heaving soils. In this case, fill in either monolithic slab 30 cm thick, or arrange a pile/column base.
Stage 3: assembly of frame and walls
- It is fashionable to assemble a panel house using Canadian technology immediately after the foundation has dried. Start with the floor frame. For this purpose, special SIP panels are used, which require high-quality waterproofing. It can be done using bitumen mastic, roofing felt and antiseptics.
- The next stage of assembling the frame is the installation of the timber frame. It is attached to the laid floor panels and fixed with anchor bolts directly to the foundation.
- Then the longitudinal beams of the frame are installed in the frame, driving them into the frame according to the tongue-and-groove principle. In this case, the joints are additionally foamed, and the beams themselves are additionally fixed using ship nails or self-tapping screws.
- All longitudinal panels at the top (ceiling) point are also tied with timber.
- Then the entire frame is covered with SIP panels.
Important: thinner panels are used to construct internal partitions at home.
Stage 4: roof of a panel cottage
For roof installation, it is better to use SIP panels. With a thickness of 204 mm, they perfectly withstand horizontal loads (wind) and vertical loads (snow). In addition, the panels themselves are already thermal insulation material, which allows additional savings on installation and insulation of the cottage.
- The support points for the roof will be the Mauerlat from below and the ridge beam from above. And so that the roof has greater rigidity, it can be additionally secured in parallel ridge beam two or four are the same, but lower.
- All SIP panels are joined together and tied with timber along the contour.
- Then the roof is waterproofed and covered with finishing roofing material.
Finishing touches of construction
A fully assembled frame-panel cottage must be reliably sealed. To do this, all technical gaps are filled with high quality polyurethane adhesive.
Now you can install the doors and windows and begin decorating the house. For external cladding most often they use siding or drywall followed by plaster.
Important: you can celebrate a housewarming in such a house immediately after construction is completed.
It will take only 2 months to build a house, which will significantly reduce financial expenses. Frame and panel construction prevents unwanted, additional costs.
When purchasing a ready-made kit, you pay immediately necessary materials according to individual or existing project, which frees you from additional construction purchases.
Frame for a house made of sip panels
A house made of vulture panels has many advantages:
- Heat resistance makes it possible for year-round or seasonal living. In hot or cold weather, the temperature is maintained; the design does not allow the house to overheat in the sun, keeping the house cool. At severe frosts panel houses are slowly cooling;
- Energy efficiency. Frame cottage significantly reduces energy costs during the heating season;
- Savings when constructing the foundation. Lightweight design frames do not require a reinforced foundation. A strong foundation will be required only if there is unstable soil on the site.
Construction work can be carried out in heat, cold, and slush, since the structures do not shrink much. Installation of panels is simple and easy, but construction companies It is recommended to contact specialists to speed up work and ensure high-quality construction.
Important! Finishing works facade panels possible after installation, since the panels are perfectly flat. The surface of the panel sheets also allows the use of absolutely any type of finishing work.
By contacting construction professionals, you will receive the most positive reviews about panel-frame buildings using SIP, which are the safest for the environment and meet global environmental safety criteria.
A significant advantage of frame-panel buildings is the production of the house kit itself, which eliminates the subsequent occurrence of errors during the construction period. During the preparation and assembly stage of all elements, thermal conditions are observed, and proper storage conditions for finished structures are observed.
Important! When you are counting on a small budget and planning to build the private house of your dreams, then building a house from sandwich panels is the best option.
Sandwich panels are structures consisting of insulation, mineral wool, polyurethane foam, glass wool, between two layers of rigid material - metal, fiberboard, PVC, OSB.
Sandwich panels:
- withstands any temperature changes;
- do not accumulate moisture, having waterproofing properties, thereby protecting the house from the occurrence of fungus and unwanted mold;
- perfectly isolate from extraneous sounds;
- lungs. Finished house does not put pressure on the foundation due to the lightness of the panel material.
$ Panel-frame houses: prices
Compared to other materials for building houses: wood, brick, concrete blocks, building a panel-frame house will cost much less.
Important! The cost of construction will include not only ready-made panels for the frame, but also installation, as well as processing of external walls.
The cost of installing a panel-frame house kit with the subsequent provision of services (m2 is calculated based on the floor area in the entire house) is:
- design for assembly by customer from $85/m2;
- kit for assembly by specialists $115/m2;
- house kit for assembly by professionals, foundation installation, Finishing work façade panels $180/m2;
ready-made kit for a panel-frame house with installation, preparation of the foundation, carrying out roofing works, façade finishing, installation and connection of a drainage system $225/m2.
Highly professional specialists will carry out the assembly at your site, after which you can immediately begin interior and exterior finishing.
