10 Questions About Light Steel Villas : All Your Questions Are Answered Here

1. What if the interior wall plasterboard or calcium silicate board breaks easily if a child touches it? I've heard that interior walls are particularly prone to warping, is that true?

A: Currently, all interior walls use calcium silicate boards, while gypsum board is used for the ceiling. Calcium silicate boards are high in strength, lightweight, and have good workability and non-combustibility. The interior wall panels are fixed to a light steel keel before finishing and covering. The design and construction comply with building design and construction specifications, and the interior walls will not deform under special external forces (such as major earthquakes or man-made damage). According to the National Building Materials Testing Center, the flexural strength of the calcium silicate boards used by our company is approximately 12 MPa, equivalent to 120 kg, so they will not be easily damaged or deformed.

2. Are light steel villas sturdy? Could external forces cause the villa to collapse?

A: Light steel villas meet all architectural design and construction standards from design to construction, and also meet the requirements for earthquake and typhoon resistance. However, they cannot be guaranteed against other force majeure events (such as war, flash floods, mudslides, etc.). Note: This includes earthquakes of magnitude 9 and hurricanes with wind speeds of 70 meters per second.

3. How is the shipping cost calculated? Could you provide a reference value?

A: Due to varying road conditions at project sites, round-trip vehicle fares differ. For approximately 200km, a 13m long truck will be used, costing 15-20 RMB/km. (The company's logistics department will provide a specific quote based on the project's characteristics.) There is no fixed price for the transportation of materials for Dingrongjia light steel villas; it depends on the size of the house and the distance. Generally, for a 200 square meter project with a distance of around 1000km, the transportation cost would be approximately 10,000 RMB. However, depending on the situation, a possible estimate is: 8 RMB/km for every 100 square meters. For example, if the distance from Loudi, Hunan to a certain location is 430km, then the transportation cost for building a house in San Diego would be approximately: 430 * (192 * 0.08) = 6605 RMB. The final cost will be based on the logistics company's calculation.

4. Can your light steel villas be registered with a property ownership certificate?

A: Yes, it's possible. As long as your homestead land is legal, you can complete the process yourself following the normal procedures. Once your building site is approved by the government, you can obtain a property ownership certificate; however, specific details depend on local policies.

5. Will it pass security checks? Will it pass environmental impact assessments?

A: Yes, it can pass. Our company designs and constructs buildings in accordance with the national standard "Technical Specification for Low-Rise Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Buildings". All materials have passed the relevant national testing departments and have corresponding test reports.

6. Are the floor slab and stairs sturdy?

A: The design and construction of the floor slabs and stairs comply with national building design and construction standards. There are no such problems in any structural component. The floor slabs and stairs are designed according to mechanical requirements, and their load-bearing capacity has been calculated. The panels are securely fixed to the light steel keel using professional screws.

7. Are the materials used in light steel frame houses safe?

A: The light steel materials and other building materials used by the company all meet the relevant standards and requirements, have qualification certificates, and have passed inspection before leaving the factory to ensure their qualification.

Light steel frame villas are a technology originating in the United States, with decades of development history in developed countries, and are considered very safe. Of course, our country also has its own standards, and the standards for light steel frame villas exceed these national standards, so please rest assured!

Design parameters:

( 1) Applicable to areas where the intensity of resistance is required to be 8 degrees;

( 2) It can withstand a Category 12 typhoon;

( 3) The roof load can reach 1.55KN/㎡, which is equivalent to about 3m thick in Northeast China and about 1.5m thick in Xinjiang;

( 4) The fire resistance rating of the building meets the 2.5H design standard.

8. How many years can it be used? What kind of maintenance is required for the house afterward?

A: Under normal use, it should last for 70 years without any problems. Beyond the free repair period, we offer paid services. Based on building engineering requirements, the company guarantees the main structure of the house will not be damaged for 50 years under normal conditions. Exterior decorations and special structural parts also have corresponding warranty periods. The company has an after-sales service department to handle subsequent house maintenance, resolve such issues, and meet the needs of every homeowner.

9. What should I do if I need to drill holes in the wall during renovation?

A: In the early design and construction phases, the company will pre-embed or specially treat the corresponding structural parts such as reserved holes and pre-attached components according to the owner's requirements, and mark the corresponding locations to meet the owner's normal use requirements and ensure that subsequent decoration will not be affected.

10. Will the wall structure be easily damaged?

A: The company's light steel villas meet national building design and construction standards, and such conventional external forces will not cause substantial damage to the walls. In the event of damage to the exterior walls due to special external forces, given the characteristics of the company's light steel villas, the exterior walls and decorations can be partially disassembled and repaired.
