With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, housing has become the focus of people’s attention. In addition to the traditional brick and wood structure houses, prebuild container houses have become a new residential choice, which is favored by more and more people. This paper will discuss the container house, analyze its advantages and disadvantages, and suitable for which people to choose.
What is a prebuild container house?
Container house, as the name suggests, is the use of a combination of containers to build the house, the main material for the container. Container is a kind of large steel box used for transporting goods, because of its safety, reliability, reusable characteristics, is widely used in international logistics transportation. The idea of using containers to build houses stems from a new construction technology invented by American architects in the late 1990s.
What are the advantages of prebuild container houses?
1. Green
Containers are generally reused from old containers, so they do not waste natural resources. And in the process of house construction, there is no need to cut down a large number of trees and mineral resources, avoiding environmental damage and ecological balance is broken. At the same time, prebuild container houses can be reused through secondary decoration or combination after demolition, which extends the service life and avoids the waste of resources.
2. Short construction period and low cost
Compared with traditional brick and wood structure houses, the construction period of prebuild container houses is significantly shortened, saving a lot of time. And prebuild container houses do not need a lot of cement, steel and other materials, so the total construction cost will be lower. In addition, prebuild container houses can be freely combined according to their own needs, just like Lego, so they also have good design flexibility and scalability.
3. Strong durability
The main material of the container house is steel, which is relatively durable. The corrosion resistance of the container also allows it to maintain a long service life in different environments.
What are the disadvantages of prebuild container houses?
1. Poor sound insulation effect
Because the walls of the container house are composed of steel, the sound insulation effect is not as good as that of the traditional brick and wood structure houses. Therefore, the construction of prebuild container houses requires special treatment in terms of sound insulation, increasing thermal insulation materials and decorative layers to improve the sound insulation effect.
2. It is difficult to determine the room type and shape
prebuild container houses should determine the type and shape of the container according to the shape and size of the container, so the design is more difficult. At the same time, it is more difficult to meet the requirements of structural stability and rational use of space.
Suitable for which groups of people to choose prebuild container houses?
1. People who cannot afford traditional houses due to high housing prices
The low cost of container housing is suitable for those who think that traditional housing is too expensive to afford, or just need a certain living space, regardless of community background or school district.
2. People who pursue environmental protection and personalization
prebuild container houses conform to the concept of environmental protection, and can be flexibly combined into different styles and shapes, suitable for those who pursue environmental protection concepts and personalized living environment.
3. People who need some mobility
prebuild container houses are suitable for people who need a certain degree of mobility, such as the military, construction workers, tour operators, etc.
To sum up, prebuild container houses is a residential solution that conforms to modern environmental protection concepts, has design flexibility, and can provide people with quality living space. At the same time, although the container house itself also has some defects, its advantages can also be well played under the suitable crowd selection.
