What is the difference between a container house and a prefabricated house?
2024-01-25
The current prefabricated house market mainly includes two categories of products: residential containers and prefabricated houses. These two products have a large number of applications across the country. I believe that most users will have this question in their minds, what is the difference between living containers and prefabricated houses? Let the editor introduce it to you in detail below.

1. In terms of design, living containers: Introduce modern home elements, take a single box as a unit, and can be combined and superimposed in any way. The performance in terms of sealing, sound insulation, fire prevention, moisture proof, heat insulation, etc. is better.
Prefabricated house: It is installed on-site in units of steel, plates and other raw materials. Its sealing, sound insulation, fireproofing, moisture-proof, heat insulation and other properties are poor, and the effect will not be known until the installation is completed, which is not conducive to people's comparison and selection.
2. Structural aspects: Residential containers: overall structure, welded and fixed, stronger and safer, more wind-resistant, more earthquake-resistant, and will not fall apart or collapse in the event of typhoons, earthquakes, subsidence and other disasters.
Prefab house: Mosaic structure, low resistance, easy to collapse and fall apart when the foundation is not solid, typhoons, earthquakes, etc., so it is not safe enough.
3. In terms of installation, residential containers: can be hoisted as a whole container, no concrete foundation is required, it takes 15 minutes to install, 1 hour to move in, and it can be used after being connected to the power supply.
Prefab house: Installation requires a concrete foundation, building the main body, installing walls, hanging ceilings, installing water and electricity, etc., which takes a long time.
4. In terms of decoration, residential containers: floors, walls, ceilings, water and electricity, doors, windows, exhaust fans and other one-time decorations can be used permanently, energy-saving, environmentally friendly and beautiful.
Prefabricated houses: Walls, ceilings, water, electricity, lighting, doors and windows and other facilities need to be installed on site, which requires a long construction period, high losses, and is not beautiful enough.
5. In terms of use, living containers: the design is more user-friendly, making living and working more comfortable. The number of rooms can be increased or reduced at any time, which is convenient and flexible.
Prefabricated house: The sound insulation and fireproof performance are poor, and the comfort for living and working is average. It is fixed and formed after installation, and the number of rooms cannot be temporarily increased or decreased.
6. In terms of relocation, living containers: No need to dismantle them for relocation. The items in the room can be moved with the boxes without loss. They can be hoisted and relocated more than a thousand times, which is convenient and saves money.
Prefabricated houses: Relocation requires dismantling and reinstalling, and items must be packed properly. Each disassembly and assembly consumes a lot of materials, is expensive, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is basically scrapped after four or five disassembly and assembly.
