Cement Floor of Container House
The commonly used materials for the cement floor of container houses mainly include fiber cement board, magnesium oxide fireproof board. Some temporary container houses may use plywood, and freight containers may use cold-rolled steel plates, but the latter two have obvious defects and are generally not considered ideal cement floor materials.
Fiber cement board: It is processed with cement as the base, supplemented by reinforced mineral fibers and other materials. This material has excellent fireproof and insulating properties. In the relatively enclosed space of a container house, good fireproof performance is crucial, as it can effectively reduce the risk of fire and safeguard the lives and property of occupants. At the same time, its insulating properties can also play a role in heat and sound insulation to a certain extent, enhancing living comfort. Moreover, the structure of fiber cement board is relatively stable and can withstand a certain amount of pressure and weight, making it suitable for use as a floor material.
Magnesium oxide fireproof board: It can be regarded as an upgraded version of fiber cement board, made from magnesium oxide and fiberglass cloth. It not only possesses the fireproof properties of fiber cement board but is also more environmentally friendly and non-toxic. In today's society that emphasizes environmental protection and health, this characteristic gives magnesium oxide fireproof board a greater advantage in the selection of floor materials for container houses. It does not release harmful substances, poses no harm to the health of occupants, and can provide a safe and healthy living environment for people.
Plywood: Some temporary container houses may use plywood as a floor material. However, plywood has obvious drawbacks; it is both flammable and susceptible to moisture. In the context of container houses that may face various environmental conditions, fire and moisture are relatively common issues. In the event of a fire, plywood is prone to burning and can rapidly accelerate the spread of the flames; when exposed to a moist environment, plywood is likely to deform and mold, affecting the flatness and service life of the floor.
Cold-rolled steel plate: Freight containers may use cold-rolled steel plates as floor materials, but this material is prone to rusting and is not suitable for human habitation. Rusted steel plates not only affect the aesthetics of the floor but also reduce its structural strength and stability. Moreover, the rust stains produced by rusting may pollute the indoor environment and pose a potential threat to the health of occupants.
