Container House Wall Thickness Specification

The wall thickness specifications for container houses vary depending on the type, structure, and purpose of the house, with common wall thicknesses ranging from 50mm to 100mm, depending on the material type and usage scenario.

1. Packaged Container Houses
The walls of these houses typically use color-steel glass wool sandwich panels, with a standard wall thickness of 75mm, and both the inner and outer layers of color-steel plates being 0.45mm thick. For example, a supplier's packaged container wall is clearly labeled as a "75mm-thick color-steel glass wool sandwich panel," suitable for temporary office or living scenarios. For areas with higher insulation requirements, some manufacturers offer 100mm-thick wall options to enhance thermal insulation by increasing the density of the glass wool.

2. Modular Container Buildings
Modular houses offer more flexibility in wall thickness selection, with common specifications including:

• 50mm wall thickness: Suitable for single-story buildings in mild climate regions, such as simple dormitories or shops. These walls typically use expanded polystyrene (EPS) as the insulation layer, with an outer layer of 0.5mm-thick galvanized color-steel plate.
• 75mm-100mm wall thickness: Used for multi-story buildings or extreme climate regions, such as residential projects in northern areas. For example, a two-story container house uses 100mm-thick Neopor R expanded polystyrene panels, combined with 0.5mm inner and outer layers of color-steel plates, balancing strength and insulation performance.

3. Customized Container Houses
According to usage requirements, wall thickness can be further adjusted:

• Special scenarios: For refrigerated container houses, walls may use over 120mm of polyurethane foam sandwich panels to ensure stability in low-temperature environments.
• Lightweight requirements: Some temporary exhibition halls or art installations may use less than 50mm thin-wall structures, but these require reinforced steel frames to compensate for insufficient strength.

Key references:

• The industry standard "Classification Technical Specification for Integrated Container Temporary Houses" does not unify wall thickness values but requires houses to undergo structural calculations based on usage scenarios to ensure wall thickness matches the load.
• In practical engineering, wall thickness selection should refer to the supplier's technical parameters. For example, a manufacturer clearly labels its product as having an "adjustable wall thickness of 50mm-100mm" and includes third-party test reports to verify performance.
