Making Huinong Container Houses
Making Huinong container houses involves materials, craftsmanship, product types, and pricing. Here is a detailed overview:
Materials
In container house fabrication, different parts use different materials to meet functional needs. Edge beams commonly use square steel, a material with high strength and stability that provides solid structural support for the container house and can be customized to suit houses of different sizes and design requirements. Floors use fire-resistant and moisture-proof cement pressure board, which not only helps prevent the spread of fire but also resists moisture damage to the floor, keeping the interior dry and safe and extending the building's service life. Wall panels use 0.6 cm rock wool insulation boards. Rock wool offers good thermal insulation, effectively blocking cold outdoor air in winter and reducing heat transfer in summer, so occupants enjoy a more comfortable indoor temperature.
Fabrication Process
Building a container house follows a defined process. First, the floor is laid to create the base platform for the whole house. Next, lifting lugs are welded onto the columns to facilitate later hoisting, ensuring convenience and safety during transport and installation. Then the wall panels are welded; when the panels are joined, the windows are fitted in advance and can also be customized to client requirements for different daylighting and ventilation needs. The exterior of the wall panels is spot-welded throughout, and the upper and lower openings on the columns are fully welded—this welding approach ensures structural strength and stability. Rain drip flashings are then installed to protect the house from rain erosion. After that, the upper beams and roof panels are welded to complete the main structure. All windows and columns are sealed with sealant to prevent water leakage and ensure airtightness. Interior light pads are also installed to provide lighting inside the house.
