Iranian Firm Makes High-Resistance Double-Walled Polyethylene Prefabricated Houses
“This method of construction is fast, light and portable, which allows houses to be built and transported to the destination in the shortest possible time,” said Mirqassem Mirzadeh, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“The polyethylene materials used in the construction of these houses are highly resistant to moisture, heat, cold and other atmospheric factors. Also, these materials can be recycled and reused, which helps to preserve the environment,” he added.
Mirzadeh noted that prefab polyethylene houses have many applications in different spaces, including hotel suites, security camps, mountaineering and recreational camps, villas, places that do not have permission to build, suites floating on the surface of water, restaurants and floating cafes in open waters next to beaches or water behind dams, temporary and necessary accommodation in critical situations like earthquakes and floods due to quick assembly, villas in gardens and fields, field clinics, canopies in construction projects and tourist and entertainment places.
“Prefab polyethylene houses are designed and produced in three different dome-shaped, villa and canteen models. By using prefabricated houses, the wastage of resources like building materials, time and energy is reduced and this makes the construction process with the consumption of raw materials less and more compatible with the concept of environmental protection,” he explained.
In a relevant development in May, researchers of an Iranian knowledge-based company had also succeeded in designing and manufacturing prefabricated concrete parts which are eco-friendly and resistant to earthquake and reduce energy consumption.
“One of the products of our company is GRS precast concrete parts. These pieces have a cement base and their thickness is 2-3 cm and they are produced in dimensions of 30cm*30cm to 3m*3m,” Hamed Anahid, a member of the board of directors and the managing-director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“It has suitable mechanical properties like compressive and fracture resistance, tensile strength, wear resistance, resistance to weather conditions (melting and freezing), resistance to corrosive and acidic substances (caused by rain) and having integrity when broken,” he added.
Noting that another product of the company is called microcement, Anahid said, “This cement-based product consists of mineral, organic and polymer materials and can be applied on horizontal and vertical surfaces due to its high adhesion.”
“Microcement concrete is 30 mm thick and is used for indoor and outdoor environments and can be used on wood, glass, and stone surfaces to create a surface without seams, cracks, and discoloration and it can last up to 15 years,” he noted.
Anahid described resistance to live load, impact, scratches and chemicals, easy cleaning, waterproofness, fast execution without destruction, use of natural and environmentally friendly materials as the most important advantages of using the product, saying, “This product is now exported to different countries, including the UAE, Oman, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Spain, due to competitive advantages compared to similar foreign samples like good quality and reasonable price.”
