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 villas carefully and skillfully designed by professional architectural designers, giving people a very Novel feel. So how many years can a container house be used? Today, Guangdong Sidi Construction will explain to you how many years a container mobile house can be used.
The service life of any product is related to its material, and the same is true for container houses. A house made of good materials can be used for 30 years without any problem, but a house made of poor quality may not work after 2 years.
A container costs 6 yuan a day, which is cheap. But the workmanship is simple and the materials are not good
Here are a few examples: Container mobile houses for living on the construction site. The simple container mobile houses used on the construction site are used by migrant workers. They do not have high requirements for the decoration and comfort of the house. Just keep out the wind and rain and get some sleep at night. Therefore, the life span of such container houses is the shortest. Within 5 years, it was already very worn out.
There are currently two major categories of container houses on construction sites: one is the 6-yuan-a-day containers from Delos, Falilai, and Delis. White colored steel plates are used as wall panels and roof panels, and the frame 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 been on the market for 5 or 6 years, you can take a look. Those that have been used for more than 2 years have been severely faded, and the doors, windows, handles, and windows will have varying degrees of damage. 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. During October 1 this year, we visited a number of container mobile home companies in Tianjin and Beijing to get a general understanding of the materials used in such blue iron containers. The thickness of the outermost corrugated board, that is, the iron sheet, is 0.7mm-1mm. The thickness of the surrounding columns is 1.2mm. The upper and lower bottom beams are made of 3mm thick channel steel. The manufacturer said that such a container house can be used for 10 years without any problems. However, we visited the construction unit and asked the contractors who had purchased such container houses. They said that after two years of use, the appearance has faded a lot, and some of them are rusty. We then asked a worker who was engaged in container welding and he said. "Competition is fierce now, and customers are only looking for temporary benefits and do not pay attention to quality. 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 the iron sheet of our corrugated boards used to be 1mm, but now it is only 0.6mm. After painting, customers can’t see it at all. In the past, we had to spray paint three times, anti-rust paint, epoxy resin, and topcoat. Now we just If you spray the outermost layer of topcoat, it may fade in a year or so.” You can imagine how many years a container house can be used.
