The walls are typically covered with composite EPS insulation panels or rock wool fireproof boards, filled with 5cm-thick A-grade rock wool or flame-retardant foam boards, and the exterior is polished and repainted to ensure thermal insulation. The floor is mostly made of PVC, which is durable and easy to clean.

IV. Customization and Modification
Container houses support personalized customization, including dimension adjustments, functional zoning, exterior painting, etc. For example, solar panels and rainwater collection systems can be added, or they can be transformed into commercial uses such as homestays and exhibition halls. Modification costs are calculated separately based on requirements and need to be negotiated with the supplier.
V. Price and Source
The price of second-hand 40-feet containers varies depending on their condition and configuration. For example, a 6-8-year-old flat-top container costs approximately 12,300 to 12,500 yuan (per unit), with high-cube containers being more expensive. If a customized house is required, additional modification costs will be incurred. The overall cost is lower than that of traditional buildings, and the container houses can be reused, offering high cost-effectiveness.
