How many years can a container house last? How many years can it last?

Container houses are houses converted from shipping containers, or houses designed to look like containers. With the opening of the Internet, we can easily find pictures of such houses. Some are used on construction sites for workers to live in, and some are high-end container houses carefully and cleverly designed by professional architectural designers, giving people a very novel feeling. So how many years can a container house last?

High-end container houses

The service life of any product is related to its material, and the same is true for container houses. Houses with good materials can be used for 30 years without any problems, and houses with poor quality may not work after 2 years.

 

Give a few examples: Container mobile houses for people living on construction sites The simple container mobile houses used on construction sites are for workers, and there are not many requirements for the decoration and comfort of the houses. They only need to be protected from wind and rain and sleep at night. Therefore, the life of such container houses is short. Within 5 years, they are already very dilapidated.

container house

The container houses on construction sites are currently. White color steel plates are used as wall panels and roof panels, and the skeleton is welded with channel steel and square steel. The size of each house is 18 square meters. The workmanship is relatively simple and no decoration is required. Since such temporary houses have only appeared on the market for 5 or 6 years, you can go and have a look. Those that have been used for more than 2 years have faded seriously, and the doors, windows, handles, and windows will be damaged to varying degrees. There is also a blue iron box that looks very similar to a shipping container. Since it is also used by workers on the construction site, the material is not much better. Generally speaking, let's take a look at the materials used for such blue iron containers. The thickness of the outer corrugated board, that is, the iron sheet, is 0.7mm-1mm. The thickness of the surrounding columns is 1.2mm. The crossbeams at the upper and lower bottoms are made of 3mm thick channel steel. The manufacturer said that such container houses can be used for 10 years without any problems. However, we visited the construction units and asked the contractors who had purchased such container houses. They said that after 2 years of use, the appearance has faded a lot, and some are rusted. We then asked a worker engaged in container welding, he said. "Nowadays, the competition is very fierce. Customers are not interested in quality at the moment. Because generally speaking, customers cannot tell the quality from the appearance of container houses. In order to have a price advantage, we have to reduce the material of the container. The thickness of our corrugated sheet metal can be as thick as 1mm, but now it is only 0.6mm. After spraying the paint, customers can't tell at all. We used to spray the paint three times, anti-rust paint, epoxy resin, and topcoat. Now we only spray an outer layer of topcoat, which may fade in about a year." It is conceivable how many years a container house can be used.

Simple container houses have a relatively short service life because the materials are not good. Of course, some container houses can have a service life of up to 30 years, which is not exaggerated. Last time I saw a container-style office, and we personally experienced 10 days from the beginning of production to completion. Since it is not designed by professional architectural designers, we will not consider its appearance for the time being. The materials used are indeed the best in the market. The thickness of the iron sheet on the outside of the container house uses 2mm thick corrugated board, which is thicker than the corrugated board used in shipping containers. (The iron sheet of the shipping container is 1.8mm). It is really a steel house. The weight of the house after completion reaches 10 tons. The service life of the container house is also related to the usual maintenance. If the paint of the container house is found to be peeling, it should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent rust from further corroding the material. This will extend the service life.

For friends who want to buy container houses, it is recommended that if you want to use it as a permanent container building, you have to choose the right materials and find a container manufacturer to customize it. Or you can buy shipping containers, modify and decorate them. The quality is also much better than that on the market.

The main material of container houses is corrugated board. It plays a decisive role in the service life of container houses.

What are Expandable Containers?

Expandable containers are modular structures designed to maximize space while offering flexibility and functionality. These containers can be expanded and contracted based on user needs, making them ideal for various applications, from temporary housing to office setups. Their unique design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, enabling rapid deployment in diverse environments.

 

Installation Process

Site Preparation

Before installation, it's essential to prepare the site where the expandable containers will be placed. This involves clearing the area of debris and ensuring a level foundation. Proper site preparation is crucial for the stability and longevity of the containers. It may include grading the land and, if necessary, laying a concrete slab or using other suitable materials to support the weight of the containers.

 

Delivery and Unloading

Once the site is prepared, the expandable containers are delivered to the location. Depending on the size and number of units, this may require specialized transportation. Care should be taken during unloading to prevent damage to the containers. Using cranes or forklifts can facilitate a safe and efficient unloading process.

 

Assembly and Expansion

After the containers are in place, the assembly process begins. Our expandable containers are designed for straightforward installation, often requiring minimal tools. The units can be linked together to create larger spaces, making them suitable for various applications. Each container is equipped with locking mechanisms to ensure they are securely attached during use.

One of the most common applications of expandable containers is in temporary housing. They are perfect for disaster relief, construction sites, and remote areas where traditional housing solutions may not be feasible. Their portability allows them to be moved quickly to where they are needed most. Additionally, they can be customized to include essential amenities such as bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas.

 

Office Spaces

In today’s fast-paced business environment, having flexible office solutions is essential. Expandable containers can be transformed into functional office spaces that can be easily relocated as needed. They provide a cost-effective solution for companies looking to set up temporary or permanent offices without the lengthy construction process. Features such as windows, air conditioning, and insulation can be added to enhance the work environment.

 

Educational Facilities

Expandable containers are increasingly being used in educational settings, providing temporary classrooms or administrative offices. They can be quickly assembled on school grounds to accommodate growing student populations or to replace traditional classrooms during renovations.

In the colorful picture of contemporary society, container houses are like seeds of creativity lost in the world, quietly taking root and sprouting in the desert of architecture. They not only carry a beautiful vision of green life, but also a bold challenge to the traditional concept of living.

However, just as every coin has two sides, these seemingly simple steel structures, while inspiring infinite imagination, have also become a gathering place for many doubts and misunderstandings. From the general suspicion of its safety to the deep concerns about living comfort, a series of seemingly plausible views are like fog, blurring the public's vision.

In this article, we will step into this cognitive maze together, illuminate those misunderstood corners one by one, restore the true charm and potential of container houses, and let the truth lead us through the fog to reach the wonderful place where dreams and reality are intertwined.

 

 

What and Why Do People Doubt Container Houses?


Misunderstandings about container houses:

 

 

1. Poor quality and not durable:

Some people think that container houses are just simple transformations of shipping containers, which may have the disadvantages of unstable structure and poor durability. In fact, modern container houses are not converted from shipping containers, but are built with high-quality materials and advanced technology. This technology enables container houses to withstand bad weather, have good insulation and sound insulation, and the design emphasizes structural safety and durability.

2. Poor living experience:

Because of the stereotype of container houses, people misunderstand that container houses have small internal space and lack comfort. But in fact, through clever design, container houses can have spacious and bright living spaces, equipped with modern home facilities, and provide a comfortable living experience.2. Poor living experience: Because of the stereotype of container houses, people misunderstand that container houses have small internal space and lack comfort.

3. Only suitable for temporary housing:

Many people think that container houses are only suitable for temporary dormitories or emergency shelters on construction sites. In fact, with design innovations, they have become a choice for permanent residences, offices, cafes and even luxury villas.

4. Not environmentally friendly:

Some people believe that converting containers into houses may release harmful substances, which is not good for the environment and the health of residents. But in fact, professional renovations will be strictly cleaned and processed to ensure the safety of materials, and container houses are prefabricated in the factory in advance and only need to be transported to the project site for assembly, and industrial waste is less than traditional buildings.

 

 

 

5. Legal and planning restrictions:

Some people worry that container houses may not be approved because they do not comply with local building regulations. Although different regions do have different regulations, many places have begun to accept and develop corresponding guidelines to support container houses as legal residences.
