An unusual novelty has appeared on the Kaliningrad construction market: stone-composite houses-designers that can be assembled from scratch in just a week and get a “white key” with built-in communications. Prices for such houses are about half lower than for conventional construction, and a modular house can stand even longer than its “traditional” counterpart. Let’s talk about how it works.
CyberModul modular houses are a novelty from the Znamensky Composite Plant, an enterprise with an impeccable reputation and almost 10 years of history. The plant learned how to make composite self-supporting panels from which buildings can be assembled, patented its invention and brought it to the market in December this year. “This is the first technology in Russia, it entered the top three in the country last year. The technology is called 3D stamping. If it’s quite simple to explain, then we put panel elements into special large “waffle irons” (huge seven-meter presses), fill in special composite foam and “bake” – walls, floor, ceiling, ”says Dmitry Hristov, general director of the plant. All communications are already “sewn” into these panels: both pipes and cable channels. The house of them is assembled right on the spot, like a big designer. In this case, a “white key” is immediately obtained. The surface of the slabs is perfectly flat and, after puttying the joints, is suitable for all types of finishes: you can paint, glue wallpaper, lay linoleum or laminate. The cost of the building also includes unique AeroCarbon windows, also developed in-house by the Znamensky Composite Plant. These are warm ultra-thin designs, which have no analogues on the market. “Our windows are like an LCD TV on the wall. The usual thickness of a PVC frame is about 130 mm, and we offer a window width of 55 mm, that is, two times thinner than usual. The construction uses aluminum and composite materials. They are more expensive and of better quality than the plastic and steel that ordinary windows are made of. But since the windows are two times thinner, the materials they use are half as much. So you get thin, beautiful, durable windows at a price comparable to ordinary “plastic”,” Dmitry Hristov explains. An important feature of composite panels produced using 3D stamping technology is their fire resistance, thanks to which the buildings assembled from them are reliably protected from fires. Due to the very low thermal conductivity of the materials, the panels retain both heat and cool well, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house and save on heating during the cold months. In addition, the materials are harmless and the houses made of them are environmentally friendly. Another unconditional trump card is the speed of construction. It takes an average of 3-4 days to manufacture panels for a building, and a couple more days are required to assemble the structure. As a result, a completely finished house in this way can be built from scratch in just a week. An important factor is the cost of construction. It is 2 times lower than in traditional construction. On average, a square meter of such a house now costs about 35 thousand rubles, while the average market price of a new building is 108-115 thousand per square meter. From the panels you can “print” almost anything: from a small bath or a one-room house of 16 square meters. m to a three-story mansion. It can be a ship, a houseboat (in the future, in the water-rich Kaliningrad, you can create entire blocks on the water), and a motor home, and quite a classic city cottage. There will be no problems with the registration of such a building. “The structure of the house includes the foundation. We can put it on a minimally prepared surface if it is a small house. If the structure is larger, we twist the piles. But if this is a house that needs to be registered, we fill in the strip foundation, and we already put a box on it. And we register it as an ordinary house. The procedure depends on the base, not on the design. There are no problems with paperwork, we take care of it all,” says Hristov. The company is ready to build not only private facilities using CyberModul technology. On its website you can already see the project of a modular hospital with 1600 beds with an area of 32 thousand square meters. m. You can assemble such a hospital in just 7 days. And the authorities of different levels have already begun to be interested in new technology. “Gvardeisky district already wants to build a House of Culture using our technologies in one of the villages. We calculated its cost and it turns out that the same project using our technology turns out to be several times lower than with traditional construction,” says the director of the plant.
Despite the unusual idea, speed and attractive price of construction, modular houses are durable. The constructive has a seven-year warranty, and the building itself is able to stand for half a century. And this indicator is far from being dreamed of by all today’s “traditional” new buildings.
