Looking for a Container Home?

Is a Modular Container House the Right Choice?

Published: 20/6/2021 | Views: 126

A modular container house for sale is made of corrugated, molded, rolled steel tubing, which is subsequently covered with a clear plastic skin. The resulting product is a structurally sound building made of lightweight galvanized steel, usually with steel framing. This is one of the best options for temporary office or retail spaces. In the past, this type of shipping container home was reserved for distribution and handling of hazardous materials. However, more consumers these days are going in for modular container homes because of their cost effectiveness.

Modular container buildings for sale come with either a curved or straight steel structure and come with either a cold welded finish or hot rolled finish. They also have the option of covering the steel structure with insulation, making them ideal for storing both goods and raw materials, such as wood, coal, or petroleum products. Some of these shipping container homes are so well insulated that they can store hot electrical equipment as well. Hence, this type of steel structure for shipping purposes is popularly known as 'insulated shipping container.'

These modular container house for sale are very cost effective and can be setup within a few hours. Moreover, you can use them for different purposes. A prefabricated house, on the other hand, comes with a steel structure that is factory built and ready for use. This means that you have to buy the entire kit only, not just the steel structure.

Prefabricated house size selection is an important decision, especially for those looking at energy savings benefits. You can choose from several sizes that come in various widths. Modular container buildings can come in single, double or even triple width sizes, depending on the need. The reason why prefabricated houses come in varied size is because the size of the container must fit into the space available on the site. Therefore, if the site is less than an acre, you would do better with a single modular container house size, while those wishing to build a mega-complex may opt for the double or triple width sizes.

The advantages of these prefabricated house size selections are obvious - the savings in cost versus time. The installation process takes much lesser time than that of a traditional building construction, and you can utilize the savings for other purpose as well, such as using the same material for your living quarters and for the walls. In addition, when it comes to the design, there is less compromise with respect to appearance and overall quality.

However, there are some disadvantages too, such as the limited choice of materials. Modular housing typically comes in steel or aluminum, both of which are more durable than wood or some other types of materials commonly used for modular homes. Steel structure is also more resistant to corrosion than other materials commonly used. However, the advantage does not compensate for the disadvantage of limited choices of material, and even the steel container house size is subject to change based on local market demand. This means that you may have to choose between a different modular container house size in a different part of the world.

Also, the modular or prefabricated house on wheels is subject to breakdowns more easily than a conventional house. The reason for this is that they move around, especially if they are hauling heavy loads. In contrast, a traditional building structure cannot be easily broken down, as its design is often based on reinforcing steel for added strength. Also, while these modular container house options are easy to put together and disassemble, putting them together again is not always so simple, and you may need professional assistance.

Finally, the modular container house size is limited by local building codes, so it will be necessary to do your homework before you purchase a prefabricated house. Keep in mind that the number of square feet in a modular container house is generally limited by local building codes. Check your local government offices to see what the acceptable size is for your property area. While these kinds of homes generally use steel framing and are designed to withstand the harsh elements, they are not suitable for tropical locations and for those who would like a green home that can be moved if needed.
