Corrugated Sheet for Container House Exterior Wall

Admin September 17, 2026

The corrugated sheet for the exterior wall of container houses is a wavy metal sheet made from galvanized steel, color-coated steel, or aluminum-magnesium-manganese alloy through a profiling process. It is lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install, widely used in the exterior walls or roofs of container houses, mobile homes, and industrial buildings.

Materials and Characteristics

  1. Galvanized Steel Sheet: Made from cold-rolled steel as the base material, with a galvanized coating on the surface to form a protective layer, highly corrosion-resistant, especially suitable for humid or rainy environments, effectively extending the service life of the sheet.
  2. Color-Coated Steel Sheet: Coated with polyester or fluorocarbon coatings on the basis of galvanized steel, rich in color and excellent in weather resistance, capable of resisting ultraviolet rays, acid rain, and other erosions, while also possessing certain thermal insulation properties.
  3. Aluminum-Magnesium-Manganese Alloy Sheet: Made from aluminum-magnesium alloy as the base material, lightweight and high-strength, with better corrosion resistance than ordinary steel, suitable for high-end buildings or scenarios with high load-bearing requirements.

Application Scenarios

  • Container Houses: Used as side and roof panels, providing structural support and waterproofing functions, while enhancing overall rigidity through the corrugated design.
  • Mobile Homes: Used as exterior wall cladding materials, combined with thermal insulation cotton to improve thermal insulation effects, meeting temporary living needs.
  • Industrial Buildings: Used for roofs or walls, economically durable, and capable of quickly constructing large-span spaces.

Purchase Considerations

  1. Thickness: The conventional range is 0.12 - 2.0mm. For scenarios with high load-bearing requirements (such as industrial buildings), thicker sheets should be selected.
  2. Dimensions: The width is mostly 500 - 1060mm, and the length can be customized (up to 20 meters). It should be matched according to the dimensions of the building modules.
  3. Surface Treatment: The quality of the galvanized layer or coating directly affects weather resistance. It is necessary to check the uniformity and adhesion of the coating.

Precautions

  • Installation Direction: When overlapping corrugated sheets, they should be installed in the direction of water flow to prevent rainwater from flowing backward.
  • Maintenance Cycle: Regularly inspect whether the coating or galvanized layer is damaged, especially in coastal or highly polluted areas, where the inspection interval should be shortened.
