Installation Instructions
1. What are the size options for expandable container houses?
- Answer: Expandable container houses come in various sizes. Common sizes include 20 - foot and 40 - foot containers in their basic forms. However, when expanded, they can increase their internal living or working space significantly. For example, a 20 - foot expandable container house might expand from an initial internal area of around 16 - 18 square meters to approximately 25 - 30 square meters, depending on the expansion mechanism and design.
2. How much do expandable container houses cost?
- Answer: The cost of expandable container houses can vary widely. It depends on factors such as the size, materials used, level of finishes, and additional features. On average, a basic 20 - foot expandable container house might cost between $10,000 - $20,000. If it has high - end finishes like hardwood floors, premium insulation, and advanced electrical systems, the price can go up to $30,000 or more. For a 40 - foot expandable container house, the starting price could be around $20,000 and can exceed $50,000 for a fully - equipped, luxury version.
3. Are expandable container houses suitable for long - term living?
- Answer: Yes, they can be suitable for long - term living. They are designed to be durable and can be equipped with all the necessary amenities for comfortable living. For instance, they can have proper insulation to regulate temperature, fully - functional kitchens and bathrooms, and enough living space. However, it's important to ensure that the container house is placed on a stable foundation and is maintained regularly. Some people have lived in expandable container houses for years without any major issues.
4. How are expandable container houses insulated?
- Answer: There are several ways to insulate expandable container houses. One common method is to use spray - foam insulation. This fills the gaps and cavities in the container walls, providing excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. Another option is to use rigid foam boards, which are installed on the interior or exterior walls. For example, a 2 - inch thick rigid foam board can significantly reduce heat transfer. Additionally, some container houses use insulated panels that are pre - fabricated with insulation sandwiched between two layers of metal or other materials.
5. Can expandable container houses be customized?
- Answer: Absolutely. They can be highly customized. You can choose the layout of the rooms, the type of finishes (such as different types of flooring, wall coverings), the color of the exterior, and the type of windows and doors. For example, if you want a large, panoramic window in the living area or a sliding door for the entrance, it can be arranged. You can also customize the electrical and plumbing systems according to your specific needs.
