Frequently Asked Questions

01 Product Specifications
What is the lifespan of the Folding Container House?
Our folding container houses are designed for long-term use. The main structure is made of galvanized steel, providing high corrosion resistance. With proper maintenance, the service life can reach 10 to 15 years. Additionally, the folding mechanism is tested for over 500 cycles.
Is the house waterproof and fireproof?
Yes. The roof design includes a built-in drainage system to prevent leaks. The wall panels are made of IEPS or Rock Wool sandwich panels, which are rated Class A Fireproof. The structure is also wind-resistant (Grade 10) and earthquake-resistant (Grade 8).
Does it come with electricity and flooring?
Yes, it is fully prefabricated. The electrical system (switches, sockets, LED lights, and circuit breakers) is pre-installed within the walls and ceiling. The floor consists of 18mm MGO board topped with 1.8mm PVC floor leather, so no extra flooring work is needed on-site.
02 Installation & Site
How long does it take to assemble one unit?
The assembly is extremely fast. With a team of 2-3 workers and a crane (or forklift), one unit can be unfolded and secured in approximately 15 minutes. It is 99% pre-assembled at the factory.
Do I need a concrete foundation?
Not necessarily. While a flat concrete foundation is recommended for long-term placement, the folding house can also be placed on concrete blocks, brick pillars, or any hardened, level ground. This flexibility saves significant civil engineering costs.
Can these houses be stacked?
Yes, the reinforced steel frame allows for stacking up to 2 stories. When stacking, we provide stairs and walkway components to create a complete two-story building system for dormitories or offices.
03 Logistics & Shipping
How many units fit in a shipping container?
This is our biggest advantage. The folding design compresses the height to just 450mm. We can load 10 sets of standard folding houses into one 40HQ shipping container. This saves up to 70% on ocean freight compared to traditional flat-pack containers.
Will the windows or glass break during transport?
No. We use a protective packaging method. The folded structure protects the windows and doors inside. We also add foam padding and corner protection to ensure zero damage during long-distance sea transportation.
04 Customization
Can I add a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes. We can provide customized partition walls to create separate rooms for bathrooms. We also supply sanitary ware (toilet, shower, sink) and kitchen cabinets as optional accessories that can be shipped inside the container with the house.
What colors are available?
The standard frame color is white or dark grey. The wall panels are typically white-grey. However, for bulk orders, we can customize the frame color and wall pattern (e.g., wood grain, brick pattern) to match your brand or project requirements.
