Container House Custom Materials

Common materials used in the customization of container houses include steel, aluminum alloy, glass, plastic, and thermal insulation materials, as detailed below:

Steel is the primary structural support material for container houses, including channel steel, angle steel, and steel plates. These steels offer high strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring the structural safety of the house. For example, the fast-assembly container series from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. uses a full steel structural frame, which has been tested on-site to withstand winds of up to 12 levels and has an earthquake resistance rating of 8, meeting relevant building earthquake resistance design specifications.

Aluminum alloy is commonly used for making doors and windows in container houses, offering advantages such as lightness, aesthetics, and corrosion resistance. Additionally, aluminum alloy provides good thermal insulation, enhancing the comfort of the house.

Glass is an important material for container houses, primarily used for doors, windows, and observation windows. Glass offers high transparency, good reflectivity, and corrosion resistance, increasing the lighting and visibility of the house.

Plastic products are widely used in container houses, such as plastic pipes and plates. These materials are lightweight, easy to process, and cost-effective, meeting the diverse needs of different houses.

Thermal insulation materials are crucial for the comfort and energy efficiency of container houses. Commonly used thermal insulation materials include rock wool, glass wool, or polyurethane sandwich panels, which offer both thermal insulation and fire resistance. For example, packing-box container houses use hot-dip galvanized cold-formed steel frames paired with fire-resistant polyurethane sandwich panels, providing both thermal insulation and fire resistance.

In addition, the floors of container houses typically use cement fiber boards or steel-wood composite floors, while the walls and ceilings can be made of metal panels or calcium silicate boards. The combination of these materials enables container houses to meet basic usage requirements in terms of thermal insulation, sound insulation, and fire resistance.
