• Transportation and Installation: It is easy to hoist and compliant with transportation regulations. After aligning the pre-embedded parts at the four corners, it is fixed with bolts. It can be powered on and ready for occupancy in half a day, with high assembly efficiency.
• Structural Performance: The walls are made of double-layer color steel plates with rock wool in between, providing thermal insulation and moisture resistance, reducing air conditioning energy consumption in summer. The doors are made of thickened broken-bridge aluminum with double-glazed glass, offering good sound insulation.
