Container House 4x10

Admin September 17, 2026

Dalian offers container houses that meet the 4x10 specifications and support non-standard customization, with the following specific design features:

1. Basic Specifications and Customization Flexibility

Container houses measuring 4 meters in width and 10 meters in length can be manufactured in the Dalian region, falling under the category of non-standard customization. According to industry standards, the typical width of standard containers ranges from 2.4 to 3 meters, while achieving a 4-meter width requires special design considerations, such as the use of thickened corner posts or optimized structural frameworks. The length, width, and height of such customized houses can be adjusted according to specific needs, but it is important to note that non-standard dimensions may involve additional costs (e.g., materials, transportation, installation fees) and approval processes (e.g., building planning permits).

2. Structural and Material Characteristics

  • Corner Post Design: Special thickened corner posts, tailored for maritime use, are employed. These corner posts are typically made of high-strength steel (e.g., Q345B), with a thickness increased by 30%-50% compared to ordinary corner posts. They can withstand greater loads (e.g., wind pressure, snow pressure) and enhance overall stability, making them suitable for coastal or windy regions.
  • Insulation Layer: Equipped with a 100-millimeter-thick insulation layer (common materials include polystyrene or rock wool), with a thermal conductivity coefficient below 0.03W/(m·K). This effectively isolates external temperatures, reducing indoor temperature fluctuations by more than 50%, and is suitable for regions with significant temperature variations.

3. Functional Configurations

  • Door and Window Systems:
    • KFC Double Doors: Utilize double-glazed or thermal-break aluminum frames, achieving an airtightness rating of Grade 6 or above according to national standards. This reduces air infiltration by 30%-40% and enhances sound insulation (reducing noise by approximately 25 decibels).
    • Thermal-Break Aluminum Insulated Windows: The insulated glass typically has a thickness of 5+12A+5 (two layers of 5-millimeter glass with a 12-millimeter air layer in between), offering superior thermal insulation compared to ordinary single-glazed windows. Combined with thermal-break aluminum profiles (with a thermal conductivity coefficient ≤ 3.0W/(m²·K)), energy consumption can be reduced by 20%-30%.
  • Interior Renovation: Includes basic home decoration (e.g., wall treatment, flooring, electrical wiring). Some customization services can extend to modular designs such as integrated kitchens and bathrooms, meeting residential or office needs.

4. Application Scenarios and Considerations

Such container houses are suitable for temporary structures (e.g., construction site dormitories, exhibition halls), mobile shops, or low-budget permanent residences. However, it is important to note:

  • Compliance: Non-standard dimensions may require approval from local housing and construction departments, especially when involving fixed installations.
  • Maintenance Costs: While thickened corner posts and special insulation layers enhance performance, the costs of later maintenance (e.g., corrosion treatment for corner posts, replacement of insulation layers) may be higher than those for standard containers.
  • Transportation Limitations: A width of 4 meters may exceed the width limit of ordinary transportation vehicles (typically 2.5-3 meters), necessitating advance planning of transportation routes or on-site assembly.
