Flat Pack Container House
Introduction
Flat pack container houses are prefabricated in factories as standardized panel components, including walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows, and integrated systems. These components are then transported to the site in a “flat” package, realizing the vision of “transporting houses like furniture and building homes like assembling bookshelves.” They offer flexible combinations, easy transportation and relocation, and low costs.
Wanzhi Steel‘s flat, modular container houses are suitable for temporary dormitories, construction site offices, disaster relief housing, etc., featuring glass walls and metal sandwich panel walls, with a space of 10-40 ft, providing you with a permanent or semi-permanent building solution.
