Customized Container House Specifications

In addition to standard specifications, container houses in the Taicang area can be customized in size according to requirements. For example, the 6m×3m×2.8m specification is commonly used for construction site dormitories and can accommodate about 10 people. The small 3m×3m×2.8m container is often used as a guardhouse or tool warehouse. The elongated 7m×3m×2.8m container is suitable for two-story dormitory buildings, improving space utilization by adding corridors and awnings. The thickness and structure of the materials for customized containers can be adjusted. For example, the walls use 75mm-thick color-steel glass-wool sandwich panels, and the roof uses 0.45mm galvanized color-steel plates to meet insulation requirements under different climatic conditions.
