Container House Ceiling Installation Drawing

The ceiling installation of container houses should be carried out in combination with the structural characteristics of the containers, selecting appropriate ceiling forms and installation processes. Common solutions include light steel keel ceilings and metal ceilings, with specific installation points as follows:

Light Steel Keel Ceiling Installation

The light steel keel ceiling is a commonly used ceiling form in container houses, and its installation process is: measurement and marking → installation of hanging rods → fixation of main keels → installation of sub-keels → concealed work acceptance → installation of decorative panels. When measuring and marking, it is necessary to determine the elevation according to the top structure of the container and snap a horizontal line on the wall. The spacing between hanging rods should be controlled within 900-1200mm. The main keels should be installed parallel to the long side of the room, with a spacing of 900-1200mm. The spacing between sub-keels is 400mm, and the spacing between cross-bracing keels is 600mm. During installation, note the following:

• The hanging rods should be fixed to the steel beams on the top of the container using expansion bolts and must not be fixed to gypsum boards or air ducts.
• The main keels should be arched, with an arch height ≥ 1/200-1/300 of the short span of the room.
• When installing decorative panels, the long side should be consistent with the direction of the main keels. The spacing between self-tapping screws is 150-200mm, and the distance from the screw to the edge of the panel is 10-15mm.

Metal Ceiling Installation

Metal ceilings (such as aluminum扣板 (Note: Here '扣板' is translated as 'gusset plates' in a more general sense, but 'aluminum ceiling tiles' could also be a fit depending on context), aluminum square tubes, metal grilles, etc.) are suitable for the industrial-style design of container houses, and their installation points are as follows:

• Open-frame installation: Suitable for scenarios requiring maintenance. Metal panels are fixed through special keel slots, and the spacing should comply with module specifications (such as 300600, 600600).
• Hook-and-hang installation: Metal hanging pieces or panels are connected to the keels through hooks. Attention should be paid to the details of the closures to avoid excessive gaps.
• Dry-hang installation: Suitable for heavy metal panels such as stainless steel and copper. A steel frame conversion layer needs to be welded on the top of the container, and then the metal panels are fixed with bolts. During installation, ensure that the metal panels are firmly connected to the keels to avoid loosening due to vibration.

Key Points for Adapting to Container Structures

Special attention should be paid to the following aspects during the ceiling installation of container houses:

• Structural reinforcement: If the bearing capacity of the top of the container is insufficient, a steel frame conversion layer should be added or the hanging rods should be reinforced.
• Rust prevention treatment: Rust prevention treatment should be carried out on the contact parts between the metal ceiling and the top of the container to avoid corrosion.
• Pipeline coordination: Space should be reserved in the ceiling for pipelines of equipment such as lamps and air conditioners to avoid damaging the structure by opening holes later.
