What should we know about Mobile Homes?

Wondering what exactly a mobile home is, how it's heated, whether it's suitable for year-round living, and what its construction looks like? Below, we've gathered answers to frequently asked questions.

What is a mobile home?

A mobile home is a prefabricated structure built in a factory and then transported as a whole to its final location. Once delivered, simply set it on concrete blocks , point foundations , or a foundation slab, depending on the plot conditions and intended use.

The mobile home has wheels, but it is not a registered vehicle . Therefore, its transport on public roads is only possible through a specialized transport company. It is not possible to move the mobile home on your own.

Depending on the technical solutions used, a mobile home can function as:

  • summer house (seasonal),
  • year-round house - thanks to appropriate insulation and heating.

What types of mobile homes are available?

We offer several finishing options, so you can tailor your cottage to your individual needs and budget:

  • Light - basic functional variant
  • Standard - the most frequently chosen, well-balanced
  • Premium - for more demanding users

The differences between the variants mainly concern the equipment, finishing standard and available additional options - the construction and insulation remain at the same high level.

What type of heating do we use in mobile homes?

Year-round mobile homes are equipped with modern and proven heating systems that ensure comfort all year round.

  • Electric underfloor heating
  • Air conditioning with heating and cooling function
  • Radiator in the bathroom
  • Possibility of installing a fireplace (additional option)

The selection of a specific system depends on the user's needs and the way the house is used (year-round or seasonal).

How is a year-round mobile home insulated?

To insulate year-round mobile homes, we use mineral wool , which is one of the best insulating materials used in construction.

Mineral wool provides:

  • very good thermal insulation ,
  • good sound-absorbing properties,
  • high fire resistance .

Thanks to this, the house maintains a comfortable temperature both in winter and summer.

What is the thickness of the insulation in a mobile home?

Regardless of the chosen variant (Light, Standard or Premium), the insulation thickness remains the same .

  • External walls: 15 cm
  • Floor: 20 cm
  • Roof: 20 cm

Such parameters allow for comfortable use of the house all year round and reduce heat loss.

How much does a mobile home weigh?

Mobile homes are solid structures, so their weight is significant and depends on the square footage and equipment.

  • 35 m² house: about 10 tons
  • 48 m² cottage with equipment: about 16 tons

The weight of the house is important when planning transport, access to the plot and choosing the appropriate foundation method.
