Thermal and Sound Insulation of Container Houses

Admin September 15, 2026

Container houses can achieve thermal and sound insulation through measures such as filling thermal insulation materials, adopting thermal break insulation technology, adding sound insulation and shock absorption sealing layers, using double-glazed windows and doors, and ensuring proper waterproof sealing. Details are as follows:

  • Thermal Insulation Measures:

    • Filling Thermal Insulation Materials: High-density thermal insulation rock wool is filled inside the container house, with a thickness generally not less than 75mm and an overall thermal conductivity not exceeding 0.04W/(m·K). This effectively blocks heat transfer and improves indoor temperature.
    • Adopting Thermal Break Insulation Technology: Through thermal break insulation technology, heat transfer is further reduced, allowing the house to remain relatively cool in summer and warm in winter, suitable for long-term use scenarios.
  • Sound Insulation Measures:

    • Adding Sound Insulation and Shock Absorption Sealing Layers: High-quality container houses incorporate sound insulation and shock absorption sealing layers in walls and ceilings to block external noise, meeting the high sound insulation requirements of shops, teahouses, and other uses.
    • Using Double-Glazed Windows and Doors: Windows and doors are made of double-glazed units with thermal break aluminum frames, which not only improve indoor temperature but also effectively reduce the transmission of external noise such as wind and voices, enhancing living or usage comfort.
  • Comprehensive Treatment:

    • Ensuring Proper Waterproof Sealing: Although waterproofing may seem unrelated to thermal and sound insulation, good waterproofing prevents wall damage caused by water infiltration, which can affect thermal and sound insulation performance. Standard practices include using waterproof membranes, full sealing with sealants, designing proper drainage slopes, ensuring proper lap joints of panels, and achieving seamless sealing at joints. In rainy southern regions and island environments, it is particularly important to strengthen waterproofing at roofs and corners.
