Why are materials the key to the advantages of expandable container house?
With the rapid development of prefabricated house, expandable container house are gradually becoming popular. As a trusted modular building supplier in the industry, GS HOUSING often hears customers ask, “What materials are these houses made of? Can they be both safe and comfortable?”
The answer is yes. The choice of material directly determines the durability, safety, comfort, and environmental performance of expandable container house.
Expandable container house not only meet the diverse needs of mining camps, tourist resorts, emergency shelters, and personal residences, but are also gradually entering the mid-to-high-end market with their flexibility, comfort, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness.
In our customer communications, GS HOUSING consistently adheres to strict control from the framework to the details, ensuring that each home is not only quickly built but also long-lasting.
What materials are reliable for expandable container house?
- Main frame
- GS HOUSING utilizes a fully galvanized square tube frame (common sizes: 40×80 and 80×140). The hot-dip galvanizing process ensures rust and corrosion resistance, extending its service life. Compared to traditional structures, this frame is lighter yet more resilient, offering strong load-bearing capacity, wind resistance, and earthquake resistance. The folding hinge design makes transportation and installation more efficient, saving customers time and money.
- Walls and roofs
- The exterior walls and roof are constructed with 50mm-thick silicon color-coated steel sandwich panels, which are lightweight, durable, fireproof, and heat-insulating. They are widely used in mining camps, tourist resorts, and even private residences. The roof utilizes 950 double-sided color-coated steel tiles with silicon core panels, providing both fireproofing and waterproof insulation, creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
- Flooring systems
- GS HOUSING’s flooring is constructed of 18mm-thick, fire-resistant cement fiberboard, ensuring structural stability and safety. The cabins are constructed of durable bamboo plywood, topped with 1.6mm-thick, non-slip, easy-to-clean PVC decorative flooring, enhancing the overall aesthetics.
- Door and window configuration
- GS HOUSING meticulously considers comfort and safety, which are paramount to our guests. Standard features include double-glazed sliding windows (900 x 900 mm) with plastic steel panels, as well as triple-glazed windows for enhanced soundproofing and ample natural light. Steel fire-rated doors (840 x 2035 mm) meet international safety standards, providing added peace of mind.
- Electrical system
- GS HOUSING’s power system is equipped with a 32A leakage protector, a comprehensive lighting system, and sockets and wiring that meet international standards, fully meeting the needs of daily life or office work. This means that whether it is a campsite, office, or residence, customers can enjoy the same electricity experience as traditional homes.
| Comparison Dimension | Expandable container house | Traditional houses |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Galvanized for corrosion resistance, long life, resistant to moisture, salt spray and other harsh environments | Concrete has a long lifespan, but is prone to cracks due to environmental factors (freeze-thaw, salt erosion). |
| Construction period | Prefabricated in the factory, quickly installed on site, short cycle (moving in a few days) | The construction period is long, taking several months or even longer |
| Flexibility | Expandable and movable to adapt to different scenarios | Fixed, cannot be moved, high expansion cost |
| Environmental protection | Green and environmentally friendly, recyclable materials, no dust during construction | High energy consumption in construction, large amount of dust, and materials cannot be fully recycled |
| Comfort | Adopting thermal insulation wall panels and double-layer windows, the thermal insulation and sound insulation effects are excellent | Sound insulation and heat preservation rely on additional materials, and the overall performance is unstable |
| Cost investment | Moderate initial cost and low long-term maintenance cost | High initial cost and need for maintenance and repair in the later stage |
| Exterior Design | Modular, customizable exterior and interior layout, beautiful and modern | Traditional appearance, difficult to remodel, limited personalization |
| Earthquake and wind resistance | Light steel structure, good flexibility, excellent earthquake and wind resistance | Cement structures are very rigid, but their earthquake and wind resistance capabilities are relatively limited. |
| Applicable Scenarios | Mining camps, tourist resorts, emergency resettlement, personal residences, office spaces | Permanent residences, office buildings, traditional commercial buildings |
From structure to walls, flooring to electrical components, expandable container house offer five key advantages:
Stronger: Wind and earthquake resistant, highly stable.
Environmentally friendly: Thermally insulated, energy-efficient, and sustainable.
Comfortable: Beautiful, soundproof, and well-lit.
Safer: Fire-resistant doors and windows with circuit protection.
Flexible: Foldable and expandable, adaptable to a variety of scenarios.
Expandable container house are no longer just temporary structures; they are gradually moving towards higher-end and wider application scenarios.
