The foundation slab, increasingly used in modern construction, provides a solid and durable base that is ideal for modular homes. Compared to traditional solutions, it not only guarantees an even distribution of loads and better stability, but also shorter lead times for this stage of construction. It is a practical and energy-efficient solution that is gaining in popularity. Read on and find out whether modular house on a foundation slab is for you.
Modular house on a foundation slab – stable base
The foundation slab ensures that loads are evenly distributed over the entire ground surface. This is particularly important for modular homes. This makes the entire building structure stable and less prone to settlement than with traditional point foundations. An even slab foundation also provides better protection against damage resulting from uneven ground, such as wall cracking, among other things.
Effective thermal insulation
At Wascovilla we offer insulated foundation slabwhich not only provides a solid base for the building, but also protects against heat loss. A well-insulated slab helps to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors by reducing the transfer of cold from the ground. Thanks to this home is more energy-efficient, which translates into lower heating costsespecially in winter. In addition, reducing energy consumption for heating contributes to lower CO2 emissions, which has a positive impact on the environment.
Foundation slab - shorter construction time
One of the biggest advantages of the ground slab is the speed of its implementation. Compared to traditional bench foundations, a slab foundation requires shallower excavation, which speeds up the groundwork. In addition, the slab is less thick than a bench. As a result, less concrete is used to lay it and the drying time of the element is shorter. As a result, once the slab has been poured and set, you can start more quickly assembly of a modular housewhich speeds up the entire construction process. As a result, you can enjoy your new home in less time.
Integrated installations at the foundation stage
Pouring the foundation slab involves determining the points for the water and sewage system culverts and laying them from the connection to the culverts. Depending on the project, a conduit for the electrical supply to the building's main switchboard can also be realised. This usually comes down to laying the conduit in which the power cable will later be routed. Optionally, other installations can be laid at this stage if they are provided for in the house design. Foundation slab allows connections to be precisely positioned in accordance with the design and simplifies the subsequent laying of technical installations in the building.
Resistance of the slab to changes in ground conditions
Foundation slab is also more resistant to changes in ground conditions than traditional foundations. When the ground is properly prepared, the slab minimises the risk of uneven building settlement, which can be a problem in soils with variable bearing capacity. This is particularly important on plots with less stable ground.
Why choose a modular house on a slab-on-grade foundation from Wascovilla?
As manufacturer of modular homes, we offer comprehensive solutions that include not only the design and construction of the house itself, but also the preparation of an insulated foundation slab. Choosing this type of foundation is an investment in the stability, durability and energy efficiency of the building. This translates into user comfort and lower operating costs.
Deciding on frame housey on the foundation slab, you choose a modern solution that combines functionality, energy efficiency and durability. As a result, you provide a solid foundation for your future home for years to come.
However, this is not the only option. W Wascovilla We take into account the diverse needs of our clients. We offer the realisation of designs from any design bureau, as well as the delivery of ready-made modular house components for assembly by the investor.
