Container House Cement Board Floor
The commonly used material for the cement board floor of container houses is fiber cement board, also known as fiber cement pressure board. Here is a detailed introduction to the commonly used materials for the cement board floor of container houses:
Fiber Cement Board:
This is the mainstream choice for the cement board floor of container houses. It is made with cement as the base, supplemented by reinforced mineral fibers and other materials, and processed through special manufacturing techniques. Its thickness is usually about 3.5 centimeters, which ensures the floor's load-bearing capacity without adding unnecessary weight due to excessive thickness. Fiber cement board has excellent fireproof and insulating properties and is widely used in power distribution rooms and areas with dense electrical usage. For container houses, this property is particularly important because they are usually relatively enclosed spaces, and the consequences of a fire can be disastrous. Additionally, many manufacturers choose to use cement boards to make container house floors, which can also improve construction efficiency and reduce building costs. The production process of cement boards is relatively mature, making them easy to mass-produce, and the installation process is relatively simple, which can shorten the construction period and thus reduce overall costs.
Magnesium Oxide Fireproof Board:
It is an upgraded version of the fiber cement board, made from magnesium oxide and fiberglass cloth. The magnesium oxide fireproof board not only inherits the fireproof properties of the fiber cement board but also has the characteristics of being environmentally friendly and non-toxic. In container houses, the health of occupants is of utmost importance, and using environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials can reduce indoor air pollution and safeguard the health of occupants. At the same time, the magnesium oxide fireproof board is easy to install, further improving construction efficiency and shortening construction time.
Comparison with Other Materials:
In contrast, although plywood is inexpensive, it has the drawbacks of being vulnerable to fire and moisture. Container houses often need to face various harsh weather conditions, such as rain and humidity, and plywood is prone to moisture deformation and even mold, affecting its service life and living experience. Moreover, plywood has poor fireproof properties, posing safety hazards. Although cold-rolled steel plates are sturdy and durable, they are prone to rusting. In humid environments, cold-rolled steel plates are easily corroded, leading to rust on the surface, which not only affects aesthetics but also reduces their load-bearing capacity and service life. Therefore, plywood and cold-rolled steel plates are not suitable for inhabited container houses.
