Container House Floor Insulation
Admin September 15, 2026
Container house floor insulation can be achieved by selecting appropriate materials, optimizing structural design, focusing on construction details, and combining temperature control equipment. Details are as follows:

- Selecting appropriate insulation materials: Common thermal insulation materials include polystyrene boards, polyurethane foam boards, and rock wool boards. These materials have low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation properties, effectively blocking heat transfer. For example, the polyurethane foam layer has a significant effect in blocking heat conduction. The national 'Technical Standard for Steel Structure Integrated Houses' clearly requires that the heat transfer coefficient of the walls of residential container houses be ≤ 0.45 W/(㎡·K). The polyurethane foam layer can help meet this standard, achieving an insulation efficiency 1.8 times that of traditional brick-concrete walls.
- Optimizing insulation structural design: The thickness of the thermal insulation layer can be increased, such as adding foam thickness during the construction of container houses. A multi-layer structure can also be adopted. For example, the outer layer of anti-corrosion color-coated steel plates reflects sunlight, the middle layer of polyurethane foam boards over 50mm blocks heat conduction, and the inner layer of fire-resistant gypsum boards + moisture-proof films work together to control humidity and stabilize temperature. The patented container house of Suzhou Tiandi Color Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has rock wool installed in the inner chamber of the support plates and polyurethane foam plastic set in the inner chamber two of the side plates, improving the insulation performance.
- Focusing on construction details: Details such as the splicing and connection parts of insulation materials and the combination of the insulation layer and the container structure are crucial. At the splicing and connection points, appropriate sealing materials should be used for sealing to prevent heat leakage. At the combination points of the insulation layer and the container structure, professional construction methods and materials should be adopted to ensure tightness and structural stability.
- Combining with temperature control equipment: In addition to taking insulation measures, facilities such as air conditioners, entrance air curtains, and graphene floor heating can be added to regulate the indoor temperature, further ensuring the comfort of container houses in different seasons.
