What Wall Panels Are Used for Container Houses

Admin September 16, 2026

Common wall panels for container houses include galvanized color-coated steel sheets with composite rock wool, glass wool, or polyurethane sandwich panels, as well as rock wool sandwich panels, large corrugated sandwich panels, flat sandwich panels, etc. Some high-end customized houses also use bamboo-wood fiber boards, wood veneers, carbon crystal boards, gypsum boards, etc., as interior decorative panels.

There are various choices for wall panels in container houses, mainly selected according to usage requirements and budget. Basic container houses mostly use galvanized color-coated steel sheets with composite rock wool, glass wool, or polyurethane sandwich panels as wall panels. These materials have good thermal insulation, sound insulation, and fire resistance properties, meeting basic living and office needs. Among them, rock wool and glass wool, as filling materials, can effectively isolate external noise and temperature, improving indoor comfort; polyurethane is widely used in cold regions due to its excellent thermal insulation performance.

Economic movable houses, such as panel houses and prefabricated temporary buildings, mostly use large corrugated sandwich panels or flat sandwich panels. These wall panels are composed of iron sheets on both sides and rock wool or foaming agent filled in the middle. Although their aesthetics and durability are relatively poor, they have low costs and are suitable for temporary use scenarios such as construction site dormitories. However, sandwich panels filled with foaming agents have been basically eliminated due to non-compliance with fire resistance standards.

High-end customized container modular integrated houses are more particular about material selection. In addition to using weather-resistant steel sheets or galvanized steel sheets rolled into container corrugated panels for the outer layer, interior decorative panels often choose bamboo-wood fiber boards, wood veneers, carbon crystal boards, or gypsum boards, etc., to enhance indoor aesthetics and comfort. These materials are not only environmentally friendly and pollution-free but can also be customized according to personal preferences, meeting diverse decoration needs.
