Comparison Between Container Houses And Prefabricated Houses
In addition to traditional buildings, container houses, and prefabricated houses are more popular. However, if we take a closer look, we will find that there are big differences between the two. In some aspects, container houses have more advantages than prefabricated houses.
The following is from Analyze the comparison between the two.
• Design aspects
Container houses mainly adopt modern design styles, with any combination and superimposition of containers. At the same time, the sealing performance, sound insulation performance, performance, heat insulation performance, and other aspects of the container are stronger.
Prefab houses are just temporary buildings made of raw materials such as steel and plates. Their sealing, sound insulation, and other properties are much worse than those of containers, and these effects cannot be intuitively felt like containers.
• Structural aspects
The container house has an overall structure, which is fixed by welding and is wind-resistant. It will not be easily damaged when encountering natural disasters such as strong winds and earthquakes.
The prefabricated house is a mosaic structure, which is easy to fall apart when the foundation is not firm, typhoons and earthquakes, etc.
• Decoration
The floor of the container house is laid with wooden floors or ceramic tiles, and water, electricity, doors, windows, and basic electrical facilities are all installed at the factory before leaving the factory.
The walls, doors, windows, water and electricity, and other facilities of the prefabricated house need to be installed at the construction site. Not only does the construction period take a long time, the loss is high, but it is not as beautiful as a container.
• Installation aspects
Container houses can be hoisted as a whole box without a concrete foundation. It takes fifteen minutes to install, and one hour to move in, and it can be used after being connected to the power supply.
The installation of prefabricated houses requires cement concrete as the foundation first, and the construction time required for wall installation, water and electricity installation, and interior decoration is very long.
