Container House Custom Specifications
Container houses offer a wide range of custom specifications, with common specifications and key customization points as follows:

I. Common Standard Specifications Container houses are modified based on standard shipping containers. Common specifications include 20-foot (length: 6.058 meters, width: 2.438 meters, height: 2.591 meters) and 40-foot (length: 12.192 meters, width: 2.438 meters, height: 2.591 meters). These specifications feature a sturdy structure and convenient transportation, making them suitable for independent office units or multi-container拼接 (splicing). They are commonly seen in project departments and construction site command centers. For example, the 20-foot container mobile house from Suzhou Zhongnan Steel Structure Co., Ltd. has a frame deformation of only 2mm under 12-level strong winds, complying with the GB50011-2010 Building Seismic Design Code.
II. Expandable Custom Specifications Based on standard shipping containers, the usable area can be increased by adding side or end expansion modules, with the expanded space increasing by 30%-50%. For example, some products can be customized to dimensions such as 3 meters × 6 meters × 2.7 meters or 4 meters × 8 meters × 3.2 meters, meeting the comfort requirements for long-term on-site office use. Expandable designs need to focus on structural stability. For instance, CIMC Modular Building Investment Co., Ltd. uses a semi-welded and semi-bolted connection structure, requiring regular inspection for bolt looseness.
III. Function-Oriented Custom Specifications
- Residential Use: For example, a 3x3x2.8-meter residential container house features a color-steel roof, tempered glass (thickness: 19mm), and neutral silicone structural sealant, providing Class 1 waterproofing and C3-level wind resistance, suitable for temporary housing on construction sites or retail spaces.
- Commercial Use: Glass-curtain-wall container offices achieve a modern appearance through modular design, with internal configurations such as ventilation systems and partition fittings, supporting flexible size adjustments.
- Special Environment Adaptation: For cold or coastal regions, galvanized steel materials and reinforced node connections are required. For example, products from Shandong Wanshida Building Steel Products Co., Ltd. have lower redundancy in extreme environments and require customization to enhance wind resistance.
IV. Key Customization Parameters
- Material Selection: Primarily color-coated steel sheets and steel structures, with some high-end products featuring wood-grain finishes or irregular shapes.
- Performance Indicators: Wind resistance level (e.g., C3), seismic design code (GB50011-2010), sound insulation and thermal insulation requirements (air-gap thermal design), and service life (usually over 20 years) need to be specified.
- Service Packages: Include free on-site measurement, on-site assembly guidance, and a 1-year warranty, with some suppliers offering global logistics support. For example, Suzhou Tianxiang Container Houses support CE certification and free delivery and installation services, but self-installation is required.
