Two Container Color Steel Tile Houses

Admin September 16, 2026

The construction of two container color steel tile houses requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as structure, thermal performance, installation, and cost, as detailed below:

Structural Design

Container color steel tile houses typically employ a combination of galvanized steel frames and rock wool sandwich panels. The walls, roof, and floor are integrated into a rigid unit in the factory, achieving full prefabrication. This design allows on-site installation to involve only lifting and joint treatment, reducing construction errors from the centimeter level to the millimeter level, ensuring higher spatial squareness, standardizing door and window openings and pipeline interfaces, and minimizing the need for later modifications.

Thermal Performance

Metal containers have high thermal conductivity, making it difficult to cope with severe cold in northern winters solely through panel insulation. Therefore, a three-layer structure is commonly adopted: the outer layer is a 0.6-millimeter-thick galvanized sheet to resist wind and sand erosion, the middle layer is filled with 80 to 100 millimeters of rock wool as the main insulation layer, and the inner layer uses PVC-coated steel sheets to reduce thermal radiation. Some companies also add an elevated layer at the bottom of the container to block ground cold bridge conduction. This structure reduces indoor temperature fluctuations by about 40% compared to traditional color steel plate houses, but attention must be paid to the airtightness treatment of door and window sealing strips and joints to prevent local condensation.

Installation and Assembly

Container color steel tile houses can be quickly assembled and combined, suitable for various scenarios. For example, a 362.8m office residential color steel house can be used immediately upon placement; construction site residential dormitory color steel integrated houses can be easily assembled into movable prefabricated houses. Additionally, customized foldable container houses and prefabricated mobile houses can be made according to needs to meet different functional requirements.

Cost and Market

The price of container color steel tile houses varies depending on specifications, materials, and functions. For example, the 362.8m office residential color steel house provided by Shanghai Shugan Activity House Co., Ltd. is priced at 245 yuan; while the customized foldable container house provided by Baotou Xinxing Color Plate Steel Structure Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is priced at 798 yuan. In the rental market, the container board houses with decoration services provided in Panyu District, Guangzhou City, have a rental price of 12,000 yuan.
