Seahorse House has been building nothing but modular houses for 16 years.

A prefabricated house is a method of inserting panels into a lightweight steel frame, and a modular house refers to a building in which the building frame and basic facilities are manufactured in advance at a factory and then transported to the site. Modular homes are fast to build, energy-saving, and minimize waste. The simplicity of production and construction makes them very cost-effective and affordable. On the downside, the quality can vary greatly depending on the skills and experience of the builder and contractor. Therefore, it’s important to hire a company that has proven its technical skills and is reliable. Seahorse House has been specializing in modular homes for 16 years and has recently experienced tremendous growth. The company is based on factory-built, American-style wooden homes.

Premium modular homes with a durable frame, excellent insulation and wet heated floors.

The most important thing about American wooden houses is the spacing of the frames. They must be 400 millimeters apart and have insulation in between. This is the biggest difference with prefabricated houses, which don’t have these frames. Seahorse House maintains a precise 400mm framing spacing and uses jass-grade wood imported from North America. This wood is characterized by very distinct rings and has a residual moisture content of 9-12%, which prevents warping over time.

The insulation is also of the highest quality grass wool, which not only keeps you warm, but also cushions noise and shocks between floors and allows the wood to breathe, keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The steel frame is built on the floor before the framing is raised.
