Has anyone ever built a house using tiles as walls? Here in the country there are metal tiles. In this case, the structure is made of metal, and the tiles are screwed to this structure.
I intend to build it, and this is the cheapest and fastest option, but as I'm going to do it myself, I don't have much idea of the processes.
Metal tiles have two sides, and in the middle there is a PIR thermal/acoustic insulation.
The tiles are like this
Weren’t Lustron houses made of these? Also big industrial sheds in Europe are built from these, the downside is you can’t put conduit and pipes through them, and if you’re making false walls inside to route stuff, there are cheaper options than the metal sheet tiles.
The 40mm ones have way too little insulation to meet residential housing code where I live, you need the 60 or 80 mm ones at least to keep it warm efficiently overnight
Thank you for the information about Lustron houses, I really like history.
I checked here, Lustron houses are made of enamelled steel pieces.
The idea I put forward is a structure made of welded steel, and the isothermal tiles screwed to this structure.
Flat cans
I don't have many cans, but the idea is cool.
How tf do you seal between each tile
The seams between tiles are made by overlapping the channels. In the corner, sometimes you would need a metal plate to join both
In the shape of the house, as for just one person to live sporadically, I thought of something in the shape of a chalet, even to save even more.
It would have to be made with a concrete base, to fix the iron structures, to fix the tiles.
As I don't have a degree in Civil Engineering. And I only have a little knowledge about (masonry) construction. I'm a little lost with this project.

simple nuff
Exactly, for quick construction it is a good

The idea of fixing the tiles would be similar to this, with their base fixed inside cement (the floor). On the same floor, the metal structure was fixed, which would serve as a support for fixing the tiles.
What is missing is a project, or a project idea using these materials.
I see absolutely no advantage to that system at all
Price. Thermal comfort. Speed in project execution
Metal has the worst thermal performance of any material.
As in the image I sent above, these tiles are isothermal.
Awww bullshit, what you the brokedick seller of this gimmick
My grandad built a house using tiles for walls. We told him it was a bad idea, but you know how boomers are. rip in peace, grandad
