So it&#8217;s only natural that many choose to buy a plot of land and build their property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this sounds like a complicated process, modular solutions make it easy for anyone to have a stunning property &#8211; without spending a ridiculous amount of money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we&#8217;ll talk about the different types of wall systems for home construction so you can decide which is best for your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Insulating Concrete Formwork<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formwork is made with expanded polystyrene, which usually comes in panels or blocks. They&#8217;re stacked together to form a wall, and then your builder will pour mixed concrete into the gaps. This allows for extra stability, while the polystyrene acts as an insulator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Insulating_concrete_form\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ICF wall systems<\/span><\/a> have many benefits, and they&#8217;re ideal if you&#8217;re new to DIY. Traditional masonry is a complicated process, but as long as you understand the basics of ICF installation, you&#8217;ll be fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most significant advantages of ICF wall systems are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s adaptable for a range of shapes, including curved properties.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulation won&#8217;t be a problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideal for DIY builds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formwork is easy to source, and it&#8217;s a cost-effective material.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s no need for cranes, so it&#8217;s easy to build, and you won&#8217;t need to hire expensive equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Timber Framing\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timber is one of the most common building solutions you&#8217;ll find, and it offers numerous benefits. The two types of timber framing are open panels and closed panels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The open panel is best for construction companies because builders can apply the insulation on-site. Still, closed panel timber framing is ideal for DIY projects because it&#8217;s a ready-made solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ve probably heard of modular or prefab homes, and in most of the models, you&#8217;ll find closed panel timber.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While timber offers convenience, it can take a while to build and install, so it&#8217;s not the best choice if you&#8217;re looking for a speedy installation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Masonry\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Masonry is the most popular form of construction framework in the UK, and builders use it all the time to create sturdy properties that will withstand the elements and last for a long time. The design is simple and focuses on pairing a highly insulated cavity with an outer layer to provide exterior protection from harsh winds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While masonry is an excellent option for experienced builders, it can be a complicated system to build, and human error can impact the structure&#8217;s integrity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking for an effective DIY option that won&#8217;t take months to install, then masonry probably isn&#8217;t for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Structural Insulated Panels\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Structural_insulated_panel\">Structural insulated panels<\/a><\/span> are similar to timber in many ways, but they&#8217;re often a cheaper solution. Factories will cut the panels and deliver them to a building site for installation. You&#8217;ll need specialist equipment to install SIP&#8217;s, and most builders use a crane &#8211; so it&#8217;s not the most convenient option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the best thing about this unique material is its insulation qualities. The main benefit of structural insulated panels is how strong they are. You won&#8217;t need to add much support, and when installed correctly &#8211; this solution will last a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You won&#8217;t need a thick structure, which is ideal if you want more garden space and the walls will still perform well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Oak Frame\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oak frames are similar to structural insulated panels, but the outer layers feature oak as the starring material. While oak alone won&#8217;t be enough to provide a strong structure, the insulated cavity performs well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This solution isn&#8217;t a very common one, and the costs associated with it means that many people look for cheaper alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temporary Solutions\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re wondering which walling structures are best for your properties interior, then it&#8217;s crucial to think about whether you want to split rooms permanently. Permanent wall systems cost a lot of money, but you can use temporary walling systems &#8211; which offer more flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many temporary walling systems to choose between, but the main benefits include their flexibility, soundproofing qualities and how easily you can transport them between rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Permanent Vs Temporary Wall Systems: Which is Better?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand which walling system is best for your needs, we need to look at the differences between permanent and temporary walling. Permanent wall systems are a long-lasting solution, but temporary walling is flexible. So, which is better?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Functionality\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exterior structure of your property needs a permanent and sturdy solution that will withstand the elements and last for many years. Permanent walling will always be best for the structure of your property, but temporary walling is ideal if you want flexibility with your bedrooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of building a permanent wall to split a room, a temporary walling system means you can open up the room when you want to create more space. This is an ideal solution if you&#8217;d prefer the freedom to make alterations to the layout of your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cost\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some types of permanent walling structure systems are cheaper than others, but if you live in an area that&#8217;s susceptible to strong winds and heavy rain, you&#8217;ll need to invest in high-quality materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.temporarywallingsystems.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Temporary walling systems<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are cost-effective solutions, and at Conex, we find many of our customers rent our wall systems to create an extra room for guests or give themselves a workspace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We offer a selection of systems for both personal and professional needs, and each of our systems is customisable to fit the decor of your property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Takeaway\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both the exterior and interior of your property are vital, so you should take time in choosing which systems will work best for your needs.
