Lead: For prefab house projects located in coastal areas around the world, salt spray, high humidity and strong wind are the biggest challenges affecting product service life. As a veteran integrated housing exporter, Huaxin summarizes 8 practical installation and maintenance tips to help overseas clients extend the durability of modular houses.

 

Coastal environments are characterized by high salt content in the air and frequent rainstorms, which easily cause corrosion of steel structures and mildew of interior materials. Based on years of export project experience, Huaxin's technical team shares targeted solutions:

  • Base Treatment: Build a reinforced concrete base with a certain height to avoid direct contact between the house and humid ground, preventing moisture backfill.
  • Anti-Corrosion Maintenance: Regularly check the steel frame coating; re-spray anti-corrosion paint every 2-3 years to resist salt spray erosion.
  • Waterproof Inspection: Check the sealing of doors, windows and roof joints after typhoons/heavy rains, and replace damaged seal strips in time.
  • Ventilation Design: Keep indoor ventilation daily or install automatic ventilation systems to reduce humidity and avoid mold growth.
  • Drainage System: Reserve smooth drainage ditches around the house to prevent water accumulation in extreme weather.

 

Huaxin provides full-process technical guidance for all overseas clients, including on-site installation drawings, maintenance manuals and after-sales support. We can also customize exclusive anti-corrosion and waterproof solutions according to the specific climate of the destination country.
