Container House Renovation Insulation

The insulation of container house renovation can be achieved by selecting appropriate materials, optimizing structural design, and focusing on construction techniques. Details are as follows:

Select Appropriate 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, when the thickness of the polyurethane foam layer exceeds 50mm, it can block heat conduction; rock wool also has a certain thermal insulation effect. High-density thermal insulation rock wool is filled inside regular cultural and tourism space capsules to improve indoor temperature.

Optimize the Structural Design of Container Houses

• Add Thermal Insulation Layers: During the design of container houses, thermal insulation layers can be added to the exterior wall surfaces or interior walls, such as external insulation layers and interior thermal insulation boards, forming a thermal insulation barrier, reducing heat transfer, and maintaining stable indoor temperature.
• Optimize Window and Door Design: Double- or triple-glazed windows with low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation properties can be used. Install sealing strips around the edges of windows and doors to reduce heat leakage. For example, in container space capsule shops, doors and windows are made of broken-bridge aluminum double-glazed windows to improve indoor temperature.
• Design Ventilation Structures Reasonably: Adjustable sunshades and bottom ventilation slots can be designed to enhance air circulation and regulate indoor temperature. For example, a double-story container café in Mogan Mountain is equipped with adjustable sunshades and bottom ventilation slots, ensuring indoor comfort even under direct afternoon sunlight.

Focus on Construction Techniques

• Properly Handle Joints and Connections: Seal the joints and connections of thermal insulation materials with appropriate sealing materials to prevent heat leakage. For the connection between the thermal insulation layer and the container structure, professional construction methods and materials should be used to ensure sealing and structural stability.
• Strengthen Waterproofing Techniques: Leakage in space capsules often occurs at panel joints, window and door edges, and roof joints. Regular techniques involve using waterproof membranes, fully sealing with sealants, designing reasonable drainage slopes, and ensuring panel overlaps are water-tight. In rainy southern regions and island environments, it is even more important to strengthen waterproofing at the roof and corner edges.
