Zhaoqing Container House Sizes
The common sizes of container houses in Zhaoqing are as follows:
Standard Container Houses: Mainly include 20-foot and 40-foot containers. The external dimensions of a 20-foot container are 6058mm (length) × 2438mm (width) × 2591mm (height), with an internal net size of approximately 5898mm × 2352mm × 2390mm, covering an area of about 18 square meters, suitable for single-person offices, dormitories, or shops. The external dimensions of a 40-foot container are 12192mm × 2438mm × 2591mm, with an internal net size of approximately 12024mm × 2352mm × 2390mm, covering an area of about 36 square meters, which can be divided into multi-functional spaces or multi-person dormitories. Additionally, the height of a 40-foot high cube container (40HQ) increases to 2896mm, with an internal net height of approximately 2655mm, suitable for exhibition halls or housing with height requirements.
Customized Non-standard Container Houses: Sizes are flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. Common specifications include 3m (width) × 6m (length), 3m × 8m, 3m × 12m, etc., with an internal net height usually ranging from 2.6m to 2.9m. For example, the 'golden ratio' size of 3m × 6m, with an internal area of about 18 square meters, can accommodate a double bed, desk, and wardrobe, balancing space utilization with lifting and transportation convenience, widely used in construction site offices and temporary living scenarios.
Special Types of Container Houses: Such as packing-box container houses, with internal dimensions of 5880mm × 2840mm × 2500mm, using galvanized steel structures and color-steel glass wool sandwich panels, suitable for scenarios with high thermal insulation requirements. Duplex container houses achieve a double-story structure through splicing, for example, three 40-foot containers spliced together result in dimensions of 11.8m × 6.75m × 2.8m, with a usable area of 80 square meters, meeting multi-functional needs such as living rooms and bedrooms.
Size Selection Recommendations:
- Standard Sizes: Prioritize 20-foot/40-foot containers, compatible with international transportation standards, with controllable material and construction costs.
- Customized Non-standard Sizes: Adjust length, width, and height according to site constraints, functional requirements, and budget, for example, recommending the 3m × 6m specification for narrow construction access.
- Special Scenarios: For high-rise construction sites, duplex or high cube types can be selected to enhance space efficiency.
