Container House Wall Structure Diagram
The wall structure of a container house typically consists of components such as a frame, wall materials, thermal insulation layers, and decorative layers.
Frame Section: Generally, a steel frame is used, which serves as the foundational support structure for the walls of the container house. Using galvanized pipes as the main frame, combined with beams and columns in the middle rooms, provides excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring the overall structural safety of the house, unlike traditional iron-sheet shells that can deform easily under pressure.
Wall Materials: Commonly, thermal insulation sandwich panels are used. These are not single-layer iron sheets but have a sandwich structure. This structure effectively insulates against temperature and blocks noise, addressing the issues of traditional iron-sheet houses being hot in summer and cold in winter, thereby enhancing living comfort. Additionally, in some cases, materials like birch plywood are used to construct walls. For example, some small container-renovated guesthouses have walls made of birch plywood, giving a natural and warm feel.
Thermal Insulation Layer: To further enhance the thermal insulation performance of the house, thermal insulation materials are installed inside the walls. For instance, in inhabited extended container houses, the walls use sandwich-structured thermal insulation sandwich panels, which reduce heat transfer, keep indoor temperatures relatively stable, and lower energy consumption.
Decorative Layer: Depending on different design requirements and styles, the walls are decorated. Elements such as color and material can be utilized, such as applying black glossy paint paired with natural wood interiors to create a unique visual effect; or using natural linoleum and other materials to distinguish rooms and enhance aesthetics. In some creative designs, wooden walls are also used for partitioning to achieve functional zoning while serving a decorative purpose.
