Types of wall, ceiling and floor cladding materials for prefabricated houses

Wall cladding is an important part of finishing a prefabricated house, helping to protect the wall from environmental impacts while creating aesthetic beauty for the living space. Below are some popular wall cladding materials for prefabricated houses:

• PVC Wall Panel: Made from PVC, PS, PU plastic,... with light weight (only about 2 - 5kg/m²), easy to install, good waterproofing, moisture-proof, 100% termite-proof, diverse designs of unique wood grain and stone grain.
• Cement board: The composition includes 70% cement sand, 27% wood fiber and the remaining 3% is glue. Has good load-bearing capacity, good waterproofing, effective insulation with a variety of sizes for users to choose from.
• Panel: This material has effective soundproofing and heat insulation capabilities, including 2 popular types: EPs Panel (5 - 10cm thick) made from Polystyrene plastic beads and Chinese imported Panel (12mm thick) made from aluminum alloy, foam layer and aluminum foil combined with fiberglass.
• Plastic wood paneling: Decorative panels for outdoor spaces, composed of 60% wood powder, 30% plastic powder and 10% additives. Has superior moisture and termite resistance, and can withstand all impacts from external weather factors.
• Lightweight concrete panels: About 4mm thick, light weight, high durability, popular in Japan and European countries.
• Foam concrete bricks: Quite light weight, about 350-850kg/m² thanks to the hollow structure inside, very suitable for prefabricated houses.

The ceiling will contribute to the completion of the living space. Here are popular ceiling materials for prefabricated houses:

• PVC Wall Panel: Effective sound and heat insulation and many types of flat panels (8 - 9mm thick Nano panels; 2.8 - 3mm thick stone-patterned PVC panels) or 15 - 30mm thick fluted panels for users to choose from.
• Plaster: A popular choice for prefabricated ceilings with noise reduction capabilities of approximately 32-60dB.

The floor is the part that bears the direct force, at the same time creating comfort and safety for the user. Below are popular flooring materials for prefabricated houses:

• Laminate flooring: Has natural beauty, brings a cozy feeling to the living space. Most of the current industrial Laminate flooring lines meet E1 standard for Formaldehyde emission (≤0.01ppm), abrasion resistance meets AC3 standard or higher, ensuring safety for users' health.
• Vinyl flooring: Has the advantage of being waterproof, easy to clean, thin thickness (about 2 - 4mm), easy to install, diverse colors from wood grain, stone grain to concrete grain.
• Ceramic tiles: Often used for high humidity areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, has good scratch resistance, high strength, and is easy to clean.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of prefabricated houses?

Prefabricated houses stand out with their fast construction time, only half that of traditional methods. 1% of prefabricated house materials are of consistent quality, ensuring the quality of the project.

However, the lifespan of prefabricated houses is not as long as that of reinforced concrete houses and is not suitable for areas with many natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.

How to clean wall, ceiling and floor materials in prefabricated houses?

Here are some ways to clean some common materials that you can refer to.

• Plastic panels, cement panels: Clean with a damp cloth and clean water mixed with a suitable detergent. Avoid using strong chemicals or corrosive detergents.
• Plasterboard: Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to clean the surface.
• Ceramic tiles: Can be cleaned with water and specialized detergents.
• Wooden floor: Vacuum or wipe lightly with a damp cloth. Avoid leaving standing water on the wood surface.

With the development of technology, decorative cladding materials for prefabricated houses will be further improved, not only in terms of aesthetics and durability but also in terms of features and environmental friendliness, contributing to the construction of perfect works.
