Prefabricated-house walls: construction system and evidence
A wall section must explain structure, heat, moisture, air, sound and fire, together with continuity at foundations, roofs, openings and penetrations.
How to read the illustration
The illustration is not a universal technical specification
Every project requires an exact system name, layers, thicknesses, materials, details and document version.
A single material value does not prove whole-wall performance; the result depends on the build-up, junctions, dimensions and conditions of use.
Specification
Six functions the wall must coordinate
Thermal envelope
A wall section must explain structure, heat, moisture, air, sound and fire, together with continuity at foundations, roofs, openings and penetrations.
Load-bearing structure
A wall section must explain structure, heat, moisture, air, sound and fire, together with continuity at foundations, roofs, openings and penetrations.
Boards and bracing
A wall section must explain structure, heat, moisture, air, sound and fire, together with continuity at foundations, roofs, openings and penetrations.
Air and water vapour
A wall section must explain structure, heat, moisture, air, sound and fire, together with continuity at foundations, roofs, openings and penetrations.
Internal finish
A wall section must explain structure, heat, moisture, air, sound and fire, together with continuity at foundations, roofs, openings and penetrations.

Evidence before claims
A technical figure belongs to an exact configuration
U-value, sound, fire and other performance claims need a source, date, method and field of application.
A SAVOX figure should not be published unless it is clear whether it applies to one material, a reference specimen or the complete offered system.
Client questions
Common questions about prefabricated-house walls
Odgovor mora biti vezan za potvrđenu konfiguraciju.
01How thick is a prefabricated-house wall?
A single material value does not prove whole-wall performance; the result depends on the build-up, junctions, dimensions and conditions of use.
02Which layers form the wall?
A single material value does not prove whole-wall performance; the result depends on the build-up, junctions, dimensions and conditions of use.
03Can different boards be substituted?
A single material value does not prove whole-wall performance; the result depends on the build-up, junctions, dimensions and conditions of use.
04Where is the vapour-control layer installed?
A single material value does not prove whole-wall performance; the result depends on the build-up, junctions, dimensions and conditions of use.
05How can two wall systems be compared?
A single material value does not prove whole-wall performance; the result depends on the build-up, junctions, dimensions and conditions of use.
