Special Materials for Container Houses
Special materials for container houses mainly include steel, aluminum alloy, glass, plastic, thermal insulation materials, panels, door and window materials, etc. Here are the details:
Steel: It is the main structural support material for container houses, including channel steel, angle steel, steel plates, etc. These steels have high strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring the structural safety of the houses. For example, channel steel is often used for welding the main crossbeams around the top and bottom of containers, serving a supporting role similar to the ring beams of a house; angle steel and other steels are used to build the frame structure of the house, playing a decisive role in the sturdiness of the house.
Aluminum Alloy: It is commonly used for making doors and windows of container houses. Aluminum alloy doors and windows have advantages such as being lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and corrosion-resistant, while also having good thermal insulation and heat insulation properties, which can improve the comfort of the house.
Glass: It is mainly used for the doors, windows, and observation windows of container houses. Glass has characteristics such as high transparency, good reflectivity, and corrosion resistance, which can increase the lighting and view of the house.
Plastic: It is widely used in container houses, such as plastic pipes and plastic plates. These materials have advantages such as being lightweight, easy to process, and cost-effective, meeting the needs of different houses.
Thermal Insulation Materials: Since steel can deform under extreme temperatures, affecting comfort, thermal insulation materials are required in container houses. Common thermal insulation materials include polyurethane foam, rock wool, glass wool, EPS, etc., which can effectively maintain a stable temperature inside the house.
Panels: Both the interior and exterior of container houses require panels for decoration. Common panel materials include color-coated steel plates, calcium silicate boards, cement fiber boards, and wood. For example, rock wool sandwich panels have good sound insulation and heat insulation properties; moisture-proof wood grain panels can be used for flooring to increase comfort.
Door and Window Materials: In addition to aluminum alloy, doors and windows of container houses may also use other materials, such as insulated glass, to improve airtightness and thermal insulation.
