Container houses, also known as container mobile houses, refer to simple residences with windows and doors that are mainly made of containers as the basic materials.
Containers are large cargo containers with certain strength, rigidity and specifications. The size is close to that of building rooms, with lengths of 6m and 12m, heights of about 2.5m and widths of 2.4m.
People modify containers, open doors and windows, and carry out interior decoration, and then add furniture such as beds and sofas and electrical equipment to transform them into container houses. Such container houses are almost the same as the houses we usually live in.
So what kind of container houses are currently on the market?
Container mobile houses can be divided into three categories according to their structural composition:
The first category is the container house transformed from traditional containers;
The second category is a brand new welded box mobile house;
The third category is a detachable box mobile house.
The first type of container house transformed from traditional containers is the reuse of abandoned containers. It is characterized by being very strong and able to withstand greater pressure. (Refitted container house)
The second type of brand new welded mobile house is the popular living container in recent years. Because its technology is close to the first type of container, it is also called container mobile house.
The technical standard of this container house is lower than that of container. It is easy to transport, install and move, and has low cost, a life of more than 20 years, a high return on investment, and a wide range of use. (Welded container house)
The third type of container mobile house is between mobile board house and container house. It mainly adopts modular production technology to modularize a container into standard parts and assemble it on site when it is needed. It can speed up the installation and disassembly and reduce transportation costs. (Packing box)
Advantages of container housing
1. Convenient transportation, especially suitable for units that often change construction sites.
2. Strong and durable, all made of steel, stable and firm, with good shockproof performance. It has strong anti-deformation ability; good sealing performance, and strict manufacturing process makes this mobile house have good water tightness.
3. Develop personalized art by using the characteristics of personalized creation. Make it personalized and in line with personal characteristics and pursuits.
4. The mobile house is based on a standard steel chassis, and many combined spaces can be derived. Such as conference rooms, dormitories, kitchens, toilets, etc. The standard width is 2.4 meters, the height is 2.2 meters, and the length is 4 meters to 12 meters.
5. Easy to disassemble and assemble, superior performance, and light weight. The house is an integral structure with a frame inside, the wall is a steel plate, and it can be decorated with wood boards. It can be moved as a whole, and the service life can reach more than 20 years.
6. Good quality, low price, and reusable. Recycling a waste container can save 1.7 tons of steel and 0.4 cubic meters of wood, and reduce 3.49 tons of carbon dioxide.
If 100,000 waste containers are used in a year, 349,000 tons of carbon dioxide can be reduced and 340 million kilowatt-hours of electricity can be saved.
Container module technology can reduce construction time by 50%.
