Container House Thickness Dimensions

The thickness dimensions of container houses vary depending on the materials and structures used, with common thickness ranges as follows:

I. Wall Thickness
The walls of packed container houses typically use color-steel glass wool sandwich panels, with a standard thickness of 75mm, and the inner and outer layers of color-steel plates each being 0.45mm thick. Some manufacturers may offer walls that are 50mm thick, such as the combination of an outer layer of color-steel plate (0.5mm thick galvanized plate) and a 50mm thick Neopor R polystyrene insulation layer mentioned in the technical specifications for standard container-style houses. If rock wool boards are used as the insulation layer, the total wall thickness may increase further, such as in steel-structured frame houses containing 100mm rock wool boards.

II. Roof Thickness
The roof structure usually consists of galvanized color-steel plates and an insulation layer. A common configuration is a 0.45mm thick galvanized color-steel plate covering a 100mm glass wool insulation layer, with a total thickness of approximately 100.45mm. Some designs may use thinner insulation layers (such as 50mm rock wool boards) or thicker steel plates (such as 0.6mm color-steel plates), depending on fire prevention and thermal insulation requirements.

III. Floor Thickness
The floor structure needs to bear the weight of personnel and equipment, so its thickness is usually relatively large. The standard configuration includes 4mm thick cold-rolled welded steel profiles as the base layer, covered with 18mm plywood and 1.8mm PVC flooring, with a total thickness of approximately 23.8mm. If rock wool board insulation is used, the total floor thickness may exceed 50mm (such as 2mm steel plate + 120kg/m³ rock wool board + other covering layers).

IV. Frame Thickness
The thickness of the load-bearing frame (such as the main beam of the bottom frame) of a container house directly affects its structural stability. The main beam of the bottom frame of a packed container house commonly uses 3.0mm thick galvanized steel, while some high-strength designs may use thicker steel (such as 5mm thick corner columns). The frame thickness of non-standard customized houses needs to be determined based on span and load calculations, such as full-scale 2.3 with a thickness of 20 centimeters of galvanized special-shaped profiles.

V. Thickness of Other Components
Door and window frames are usually made of aluminum alloy, with a thickness of approximately 1.5-2mm; the insulation layer of the entrance door is 50mm thick, the same as the wall insulation layer; the UPVC window frame of sliding windows is approximately 5mm thick. The thickness of these components needs to comply with building safety regulations, such as fire doors needing to meet Class A non-combustible standards.
