The container houses we are talking about now do not refer to container houses reused and transformed from shipping containers, but modular container houses that are similar in size and shape to containers and can be disassembled or assembled. They are made of steel and composite panels as the main materials and are equipped with doors and windows. The size, material, interior decoration, etc. can all be customized. Generally we are divided into packing container houses, quick assembly container houses and folding container houses.
For these types of container houses, they all have the following advantages:
- It is easy to transport, simple to install, removable, reusable and avoids secondary construction. It is especially suitable for units that frequently change locations to facilitate temporary accommodation, office and other needs.
- Strong and durable, made of thick steel plates, with strong resistance to earthquakes and deformation, and strong environmental adaptability. It can be used in dry, humid, sandy and rainy areas.
- Modular production and assembly, based on standard steel sites, can derive many combined space areas, such as conference rooms, dormitories, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. It can be used as a single-story dormitory, double-story stacked as an office building or project department, or combined into three floors for use. The number, size and layout of rooms can be flexibly adjusted according to needs to meet the needs of different occasions and uses.
- It has the functions of ordinary buildings, and has a stylish and elegant appearance. The materials are environmentally friendly and energy-saving. You can also choose thermal insulation cotton sheets, which have good environmental protection and energy-saving benefits.
- Factory production, saving time and cost. It can be applied in a wide range of places: dormitories, office buildings, restaurants, toilets, coffee shops, commercial shops, tourist attractions and B&Bs, security booths, etc.
However, packing container houses, quick-assembly container houses and folding container houses all have their own characteristics and advantages. Customers can choose the most suitable container house according to their specific needs. Let’s give a brief introduction.
- The packaging container house has a high degree of integration. The top and bottom frames are welded and fixed in the factory and there is a drainage system inside. The quality is more stable and the price is higher than that of the quick assembly container house. The installation is relatively faster, but a crane is required. For areas with good installation and construction conditions, packing containers can be selected.
- The appearance of the quick assembly houses is similar to that of the packing container houses, but the top and bottom frames of the quick assembly houses are not welded together, they are assembled with screws, so the assembly takes a little longer than the packing houses. But the assembly does not require a crane. For places with poor installation and construction conditions, especially exports, many customers buy one or several container houses, and renting a crane is also very expensive, so choosing quick assembly house is a better choice.
- Folding container house, as the name suggests, is a foldable container house. Transportation and installation are more convenient, and a small house can be installed in a few minutes after receiving it. But the cost may be higher and the performance may be slightly inferior. It cannot be stacked or used, but it can be designed as a double-wing folding house and the space can be expanded. If it is installed indoors and the installation space is limited, you need to ask the manufacturer whether it can be installed without a crane.
In terms of transportation: Since the quick-assembly container house can be disassembled smaller, more can be packed for sea transportation. For example, for quick-assembly and packing houses of similar sizes (5900mm*2435mm*2800mm), a standard 20-foot shipping container can hold 4 sets of packing boxes, but if replaced quick-assembly boxes, it can hold 8 sets. Therefore, in terms of transportation costs, quick-assembly container house has more advantages. Of course, for small-sized folding boxes, shipping costs will be lower.
Installation: Packing containers and folding containers generally require crane installation. For places with limited installation conditions and space, it is recommended to choose quick assembly container houses.
After reading the above introduction, I believe you already have a general understanding of these types of container houses, and you can choose a container house that is more suitable for you according to your needs. Before purchasing, check with the supplier.
