How long can a typical prefabricated house typically last?

The lifespan of prefabricated houses is not fixed but is influenced by various factors. The following is a detailed analysis of the lifespan of prefabricated houses. 

 1. Production process and materials 

 The lifespan of prefabricated buildings is closely related to the manufacturing process and material quality. If the processing techniques are inadequate or the anti-corrosion treatment is improper, the steel structure can easily rust, which will affect the overall lifespan. Using high-quality materials, such as high-zinc-coated color steel panels, can extend the lifespan of the prefabricated buildings. 

 2. Usage Environment and Maintenance 

 The lifespan of prefabricated houses is also affected by the usage environment and maintenance conditions. Using them in harsh environments, such as wetlands and areas prone to typhoons, can easily shorten their lifespan. Regular maintenance and upkeep, such as painting, can significantly extend the lifespan of the prefabricated house. 

 Taking all these factors into account, the lifespan of prefabricated houses typically ranges from 5 to 20 years. The specific service life needs to be determined based on the actual circumstances. When selecting and using, it is recommended to comprehensively consider factors such as the manufacturer's production level, material quality, installation techniques, and post-maintenance, in order to extend the lifespan of the prefabricated house.
