Information about Jiyuan villa container houses can be referred to as follows:

I. Product Types and Characteristics Container houses are modular buildings based on steel structural frames, paired with fireproof and thermal insulation materials (such as rock wool and polyurethane sandwich panels). They have characteristics like mobility, repeatable disassembly and assembly, and environmental protection and energy efficiency. Common types include:
- Packing-box container houses: These adopt hot-dip galvanized cold-formed steel frames and fireproof polyurethane sandwich panels. They are suitable for construction site dormitories, office areas, and other scenarios, supporting multi-level stacking and combination.
- Light steel keel houses: With cold-formed thin-walled light steel keels as the load-bearing structure and walls filled with thermal insulation materials, their appearance and house types can be flexibly customized, making them suitable for long-term living scenarios such as self-built houses and homestays.
- Functional supporting houses: Such as sentry boxes and eco-friendly public toilets, their sizes and layouts can be adjusted according to needs, suitable for scenarios like public security and property management.
II. Design Planning and Construction Points
- Spatial layout: By splicing 2-3 containers or stacking them in an offset manner, functional areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms can be expanded. For example,打通 (connecting) two containers can form a flat layout of about 100 square meters, including a living-dining room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom with a bathtub.
- Lighting and thermal insulation:
- Lighting: Install large floor-to-ceiling windows, roof skylights, or glass partitions to enhance indoor transparency.
- Thermal insulation: Add internal thermal insulation layers to walls and roofs and choose triple-glazed windows, which have better thermal insulation performance than traditional red brick walls.
- Courtyard and facade: The exterior facade can be beautified through paint spraying, themed spray painting, or glass curtain walls to get rid of the industrial feel. The containers are elevated on pile foundations to prevent moisture and insects and facilitate site leveling.
III. Compliance and Construction Risks
- Approval procedures: If building on rural homesteads, it is necessary to go through house-building approval procedures according to local requirements and provide structural drawings. For leased land, the nature of use (such as temporary buildings) needs to be clarified to avoid the risk of illegal construction.
- Rust prevention and maintenance: The steel main body needs to be regularly inspected for welds, corners, and other parts. Rust spots should be ground and repainted immediately upon discovery. In inland dry areas, anti-corrosion paint should be reapplied every 8-12 years, and this interval should be shortened to 3-5 years in coastal areas.
- Waterproof sealing: The areas around doors and windows and the splicing seams of container bodies need to have their sealant replaced every 5-7 years. Clean roof leaves to prevent water accumulation and leakage.
