Materials for Container Houses in Hubei

Admin September 13, 2026

The main materials used in container houses in Hubei include high-strength oriented structural board (COSB), quality steel, and rock wool sandwich panels.

In wood-based composite materials, Kangxin New Materials is a relatively well-known company in the Hubei region. Its main products include quality, new wood-based composite materials such as container floorboards. Among these, the container floorboard panels use high-strength oriented structural board (COSB), developed jointly by the company and Germany's Dieffenbacher. High-strength oriented structural board (COSB) features high strength and good structural stability, meeting the load-bearing capacity and durability requirements of container house floors and providing solid foundational support for container houses.

For steel selection, for packed container houses in Hubei, the quality steel used as a core material should be national standard Q235B or a higher grade. Steel is the structural frame material of a container house, and its quality directly affects the overall structural strength and stability of the building. Choosing national standard Q235B or higher-grade steel helps ensure the house remains stable under various environmental conditions and can withstand a certain level of external impact. At the same time, steel thickness of 1.2 mm or more is recommended; thicker steel can further enhance structural strength and improve wind and earthquake resistance.

For panel materials, rock wool sandwich panels are among the commonly used materials for container houses in Hubei. Rock wool sandwich panels offer good fire resistance; their fire rating should reach Class B1, effectively helping prevent fire spread and protecting the lives and property of people inside. In addition, sealing at the joints of rock wool sandwich panels must be done properly to avoid water leakage. Good sealing performance not only prevents rainwater from seeping into the interior and damaging indoor belongings, but also improves the house's thermal insulation, providing occupants with a more comfortable living environment.
