Is a Container-Renovated House Warm?

With reasonable design and treatment, a container-renovated house can achieve good thermal insulation effects. The specific measures are as follows:

Selection and Use of Thermal Insulation Materials

Common thermal insulation materials include polystyrene boards, polyurethane foam boards, and rock wool boards. These materials have low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation properties, effectively blocking heat transfer. For example, a residential container house uses a polyurethane foam layer of more than 50mm in the middle to block heat conduction. The national 'Technical Standard for Steel Structure Integrated Houses' requires that the heat transfer coefficient of the walls of residential containers be ≤0.45W/(㎡·K), which is 1.8 times the thermal insulation efficiency of traditional brick-and-concrete walls.

Adding Thermal Insulation Layers

In the design of container houses, thermal insulation layers can be added to the exterior wall surfaces or interior walls, such as external thermal insulation layers and internal thermal insulation boards, forming an effective thermal insulation barrier, reducing heat transfer, and maintaining stable indoor temperatures.

Optimizing Window and Door Designs

Double- or triple-glazed windows with low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation properties can be used. Adding sealing strips around the edges of windows and doors can effectively reduce heat leakage and improve thermal insulation effects.

Paying Attention to Detail Handling

The joints and connections of thermal insulation materials, as well as the junctions between the thermal insulation layer and the container structure, need to be properly handled. Appropriate sealing materials are used at the joints and connections for sealing. Professional construction methods and materials are used at the junctions between the thermal insulation layer and the container structure to ensure sealing and structural stability.

Adding Temperature Control Equipment

Air conditioners, entrance air curtains, graphene floor heating, and other facilities can be added to regulate indoor temperatures. In addition, laying warm carpets on the floor and using thermal insulation boards for insulation around the bed can also improve the thermal insulation of the house.
