Interior Stairs of Container Houses

Admin September 16, 2026

The design of interior stairs in container houses requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as width, location, and price.

Width Design:

  • Single-Person Passage Type: The width is typically between 600mm and 700mm, which can meet the basic safety needs of a single person going up and down the stairs daily. However, when moving slightly larger items, such as unopened mattresses or small household appliances, it can be very difficult or even impossible, requiring the items to be disassembled or lifted externally.
  • Balanced Moving Type: Increasing the width to 800mm - 900mm or even wider can significantly improve the feasibility of moving furniture. For example, a width of 800mm allows for relatively easy movement of common furniture items, such as unopened mattresses, medium-sized sofas, washing machines, and small refrigerators, representing an ideal balance between space occupation and practicality; a width of 900mm makes moving the easiest but occupies more indoor space.
  • Testing and Verification: Simulation tests conducted by Guangdong Aishangguizu Integrated Housing Co., Ltd. show that moving large items on a 700mm staircase requires multiple people to cooperate and poses a risk of bumping; moving common furniture on an 800mm staircase is significantly smoother; moving on a 900mm staircase is the easiest but occupies a large amount of space.

Location Design:

  • Exterior Stairs: For three-story container houses, exterior stairs are usually installed at a corner of the container, which can save interior space while enhancing aesthetics and practicality.
  • Interior Stairs: Interior stairs are also a common choice but need to be reasonably planned according to the house structure to avoid occupying too much living space.

Price Information:
The prices of stairs vary greatly among different manufacturers and specifications. For example, the price of light steel composite panel house stairs from Suzhou Zhongshengsheng Prefabricated Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is 186.0 yuan; the price of internal stairs for double-layer packing boxes from Weifang Weili Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. is 300.0 yuan. Prices are affected by materials, craftsmanship, and supporting services, and should be selected according to actual needs.

Summary: The design of interior stairs in container houses should be guided by actual usage scenarios. If it is mainly for single-person living and space is limited, a width of 600mm - 700mm can be chosen; if furniture needs to be moved frequently, a width of 800mm - 900mm is more suitable. The choice of location should balance space utilization and convenience, and the price should be considered in combination with the budget and quality requirements.
