Types of Container Houses in Tianjin

Container houses in Tianjin mainly include packing-box units, residential containers, modular houses, and movable houses (Type K and Type T).

Packing-Box Units

Packing-box units are a popular type of container house in Tianjin. Their characteristic lies in a high degree of factory prefabrication, allowing them to be hoisted and put into use on-site, significantly shortening the construction period. For example, the packing-box units from Suzhou Zhongnan can be installed in just 2 hours per unit and support on-demand splicing and combination, making them suitable for long-term on-site projects. Packing-box units also have good thermal insulation, wind resistance, earthquake resistance, moisture resistance, waterproofing, and leak-proofing properties, and are environmentally friendly and safe, allowing for flexible movement and combination.

Residential Containers

Residential containers are another common type of container house. They use a light steel structure as the framework and color-steel sandwich panels as the enclosure material, providing a reliable structure and good thermal insulation performance. Residential containers are equipped with complete indoor facilities and can be customized according to customer needs, such as installing air conditioners and exhaust fans. In addition, residential containers have the characteristics of quick installation and can be reused multiple times, making them widely used in office accommodation on construction sites and temporary shops.

Modular Houses

Modular houses are a high-end type of container house in Tianjin. They adopt modular design and factory production, using containers as the basic units, which can be used independently or combined horizontally and vertically to form spacious living spaces. Modular houses come in a variety of specifications and can be customized according to customer needs. Their advantages include convenient construction, environmental protection, and energy efficiency, with recyclable materials, aligning with the development trend of green buildings.

Movable Houses (Type K and Type T)

Movable houses are another type of container house in Tianjin, divided into Type K and Type T movable houses. Type T movable houses adopt a modular design, making them cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing both indoors and outdoors, with more flexible spatial layouts and better sound insulation and sealing properties. They are suitable for temporary housing in engineering camps, welfare placements, large-scale events, and various commercial activities. Type K movable houses are relatively simple but also have the advantages of being cost-effective and quick to assemble and disassemble.
