Window Opening for 6-Meter Container House

When opening windows for a 6-meter container house, it is necessary to comprehensively consider window types, sizes, sealing properties, and installation techniques. Here are the key points of the specific plan:

1. Window Type Selection

• Casement Windows: These use aluminum alloy tempered coated insulating glass, offering thermal insulation, sound insulation, and weather resistance. The sealing rubber strips effectively prevent wind and rain leakage, making them suitable for scenarios with high sealing requirements.
• Sliding Windows: These have a simple structure and good ventilation but slightly inferior sealing compared to casement windows. Double-layer insulating glass should be chosen to enhance thermal insulation, suitable for areas with strong ventilation needs in summer.
• Custom Windows: Based on container modification requirements, special sizes or functions (such as anti-theft and anti-mosquito) can be customized. The material (such as thermal-break aluminum alloy) and process standards should be confirmed with the supplier.

2. Standard Size Reference

• Regular Size: The standard width of container windows is 1200 millimeters, and the height is 900 millimeters, providing sufficient lighting while considering privacy and safety.
• Non-Standard Customization: For larger openings (such as for kitchens or bathrooms), windows with a width of 1500 millimeters and a height of 1200 millimeters can be customized. However, attention should be paid to the structural load-bearing and waterproofing of the container.

3. Sealing and Waterproofing

• Rubber Strip Selection: Priority should be given to ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) sealing rubber strips, which have excellent aging resistance and UV resistance, ensuring long-term use without air or water leakage.
• Drainage Design: Drainage holes should be set at the bottom of the windows to prevent water accumulation from seeping into the container. For sliding windows, a water guide trough should be added to enhance drainage efficiency.
• Waterproof Coating: The connection between the window frame and the container wall should be coated with waterproof paint and covered with waterproof membranes to form double protection.

4. Installation Technique Points

• Structural Reinforcement: Before opening windows, local reinforcement of the container wall should be carried out to avoid a decrease in structural strength due to cutting. After cutting, the edges should be polished and painted with anti-rust paint.
• Level Calibration: A laser level should be used to ensure that the window frame is installed horizontally, avoiding difficulties in opening and closing or sealing failure due to inclination.
• Fixing Method: Stainless steel self-tapping screws should be used to fix the window frame, with a spacing of no more than 300 millimeters. Waterproof gaskets should be added to prevent water leakage from the screw holes.

5. Supplier and Cost Reference

• Casement Windows: The price is approximately 299-688 yuan per set (including installation). Suppliers include Foshan Shipin Doors and Windows Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Hanyang Doors and Windows Co., Ltd.
• Sliding Windows: The price is approximately 50-200 yuan per square meter. It should be confirmed whether glass and hardware are included. Shenzhen Haorong Hardware Building Materials Co., Ltd. is recommended.
• Custom Windows: Specific sizes and functional requirements need to be provided, and the price is negotiable. It is recommended to choose manufacturers with ISO quality certification to ensure process standards.
