Hello, we bought a great prefabricated house. Now I keep wondering: how stable is a house like this? We have underfloor heating on the upper floor and have just installed a vinyl floor. Heavy furniture will be moved in soon. Should I be concerned?

As far as I understand, there are special anchors for hangers, for example to mount a large television on the wall.

Exactly. Thanks to the thoroughness of Mr. Fischer, a man with 8,000 patents, who is said to have gotten most of his ideas in the shower :-)

You are correct: these are normally heavy items and nothing to worry about. Your house also has normally stiff ceilings. Structural engineers are just as cautious with prefabricated houses as they are with solid construction.

See, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. 🙂 For my peace of mind. And that I can ask something here from time to time when we’re unsure.
Thank you.

Oh, sure. But this really must be female logic: You feel uncertain, then you get teased about as many times as you get reassured in similar numbers of posts, and yet overall you still feel better (?)

There is a lot of criticism about prefabricated houses. As an expert, I would not have bought a prefabricated house, and I definitely would not have simply placed an aquarium with 2300 liters (610 gallons) inside if I had any doubts. I have built two solid constructions before, and after my first prefabricated house, I would not do it again.
Today's prefabricated houses cannot be compared to those from 40 years ago.

And just as she was starting to feel reassured... great...

You can also fully tile up to the ceiling... I wouldn’t be sure about the aquarium either, it apparently works.
