In times of climate change and high-energy prices, many people have questions. Especially when they want to build. One important question is, should I go for a sheet metal garage or a prefabricated concrete garage?

In this blog post, we show you why the prefabricated garage is the better choice. Not only does it look good – it is also environmentally friendly, modern, and well thought out.

A garage is often inexpensive, but a sheet metal version is often only a short-term solution. It does not protect the car well from heat, cold, or moisture. It also rusts quickly and often doesn’t look good with the house.

 

A prefabricated garage from ZAPF, on the other hand, has many advantages:

✅ It saves energy through good insulation.

✅ It lasts for many years – without much effort.

✅ It looks high quality and enhances the house.

✅ It can be equipped with modern technology (e.g., ventilation, lighting, smart home).

Especially today, it is crucial to build a sustainable and future-proof garage. At a time when climate change and the depletion of resources are increasing, we need to build responsibly. A prefabricated garage is a practical option. It helps to expand living space and protect the environment.

Prefabricated garages are not only practical but also environmentally friendly. They are usually made from high-quality, durable materials that guarantee a long service life. Many prefabricated garages are designed to be energy efficient and therefore minimize energy consumption.

Another advantage of prefabricated garages is their quick and uncomplicated assembly. Prefabricated garages are quicker and easier to build than conventional garages. They can often be erected in just a few days. This not only reduces the construction time but also the associated costs and consumption of resources.

Prefabricated garages offer a great deal of flexibility in terms of design and use. They can be adapted to the homeowner’s wishes. Whether as a simple garage, additional storage space, or workshop, the possibilities are vast. This versatility makes them a valuable investment for your home.

Building a prefabricated garage is a good move. It’s good for your home and also for the environment. By opting for sustainable construction, you are helping to safeguard the quality of life of future generations.

They also protect the environment. It is time to act responsibly and set the course for a sustainable future.

Sheet metal garage – cheap, but with disadvantages

Sheet metal garages used to be popular. They were quick to assemble and inexpensive. The garage consists of thin metal panels and is easy to assemble. But if you take a closer look, there are many disadvantages:

  • Heat and cold: It gets very hot in sheet metal garages in summer and freezing cold in winter. The car is not well protected.
  • Moisture and rust: Condensation can cause the car to rust or suffer other damage.
  • Appearance and value: Sheet metal garages often don’t look nice. This can reduce the value of a house or property.

The modern prefabricated garage from ZAPF – sustainable and well thought out

Prefabricated garages from ZAPF are more modern, more sustainable, and better for the environment. Strong concrete is used instead of thin sheet metal. This lasts for many decades and is environmentally friendly. The garages are built in Germany.

This keeps transportation distances short, which is good for the climate.

ZAPF is also at the forefront when it comes to energy. The garages are well insulated. This saves energy and helps in the fight against climate change.

Sheet metal garages often rust after just a few years. The ZAPF prefabricated concrete garage is much more durable, even compared to brick garages.

ZAPF garages are state of the art. These extras are available:

  • A ventilation system against moisture and mold
  • ZAPF Doorlight® – a luminous design element for greater security
  • Smart home connection for the garage door and light
  • Preparation for charging stations for electric cars

Sheet metal garage or prefabricated garage?

A sheet metal garage is cheaper, but not a practical solution in the long term. Anyone thinking about the future pays attention to environmental friendliness. The sustainability of delivery and installation is also important. More value for the house is part of this. Comfort and good looks are also important.
