The difference between flat pack container houses and container houses

In terms of appearance and materials, there is not much difference between flat pack container houses and container houses, but in terms of workmanship, there is a world of difference between the two. Here is a brief sharing of the difference between flat pack container houses and container houses.

Flat pack container houses evolved on the basis of container houses, while container mobile homes were developed on the basis of shipping container houses and residential mobile homes. The difference between container houses and flat pack container houses is:

First: The frame link forms are different. Flat pack container houses connect the columns and top and bottom beams by fastening screws, while container houses connect the columns and top and bottom beams by welding, so the time to make a container house is much longer than that of a flat pack container house, and it is not easy to disassemble.

Second: the waterproof performance of the two is different. Take the 3X6 meter flat pack container house on the market as an example, the main material has 4 columns. There are four beams on the upper and lower frames, and eight corner heads are also called (corner pieces). There are 64 screws connecting the corner head with the frame and the column. 4 grooved plates. There are 9 secondary beams on the bottom frame. Wall panels and roof panels are made of double-sided color steel plates with a middle rock wool insulation layer. Some high-end box-type houses also have special drainage pipes hidden in the four columns, which improves the hidden danger of water leakage in the house. Unlike ordinary container houses, the water flow is scattered around the top. All frame profiles are rolled and formed by hot-dip galvanized steel sheets, and the top beam has its own drainage ditch, which guarantees the firmness of the house and makes the appearance of the house more beautiful, giving people a sense of firmness and safety. Therefore, the waterproof performance of the flat pack container house is better than that of the container house.

Third: Container houses have more advantages in terms of stability, windproof and earthquake resistance. However, after several years of practice and the optimized design of box-type house materials, as well as the improvement of splicing technology, the windproof performance of the flat pack container house has also provided a lot, and because the flat pack container house is easy to assemble, it can be installed and used immediately, and it is convenient for transportation and installation. , The appearance is beautiful and atmospheric, so more flat pack container houses are used on construction sites in our country.

Flat pack container houses can be used as offices, accommodation, restaurants, bathrooms, and combined large spaces, which can meet the needs of construction site barracks, field work barracks, municipal resettlement houses, and various commercial houses. The flat pack container house adopts the “factory prefabrication + on-site installation” mode, and no construction waste is generated on the construction site. After the demolition of the project, no construction waste will be left behind, and the resident environment will not be damaged. Flat pack container houses can be recycled, with zero loss and zero environmental pressure.
