Materials Needed for Container Houses
The materials required for container houses mainly include structural steel, wall panel materials, flooring materials, door and window materials, and auxiliary materials.
Structural Steel: The main frame of container houses typically uses hot-dip galvanized cold-formed steel, which has excellent rust and corrosion resistance, ensuring the structural safety of the house. Additionally, steel materials such as channel steel and angle steel are also commonly used to construct the load-bearing structures of the house, ensuring its stability and durability.
Wall Panel Materials: There is a wide variety of choices for wall panels, commonly including rock wool sandwich panels, glass wool sandwich panels, and polyurethane sandwich panels. These materials not only provide good thermal insulation and fire resistance but also effectively reduce noise, enhancing the living comfort of the house. Some container houses with special requirements may also use color steel plates, calcium silicate boards, or cement fiber boards as wall panels.
Flooring Materials: The floor typically uses cement fiber boards or steel-wood composite floors, which are sturdy, durable, easy to clean, and maintain, making them suitable for the usage environment of container houses.
Door and Window Materials: Doors and windows are mostly made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and corrosion-resistant, while also providing good thermal insulation. Glass is used for doors, windows, and observation windows to increase the natural lighting and visibility of the house.
Auxiliary Materials: These include pipes and wires for pre-installation of electrical, plumbing, and drainage systems, as well as sealants and waterproof membranes for sealing and waterproofing the house. Additionally, depending on the specific usage and decorative needs of the house, soundproofing materials and ceiling materials may also be used.
