The difference between a mobile house and a container house
1. Materials and Structure
Mobile room
-Lightweight structure: The main body is color steel plate (outer metal + inner insulation material) + light steel frame, light weight and low foundation requirements.
- Flexible splicing: Modular design, can quickly adjust the space size by adding or decreasing wall panels, suitable for irregular terrain.
- Short life: The conventional service life is 5-10 years, and it is greatly affected by material aging (such as rust of color steel plates and shedding of insulation layer).
container house
- Industrial-grade strength: It uses sea-freight standard steel (Corten steel), which has strong compressive, wind and earthquake resistance, and a lifespan of up to 15-20 years.
- Modular unit: With a 20/40-foot container as the unit, the structure is stable and suitable for stacking or transverse splicing, but the expansion flexibility is limited.
- Renovation potential: It can cut doors and windows and install internal structures, but it requires professional welding, which is relatively high in transformation costs.
2. Installation and mobility
Mobile room
- On-site assembly: It requires a professional team to build it, it takes 1-3 days (depending on the scale), and can be reused after disassembly, but it is easy to damage the board after disassembly.
- Transportation restrictions: Large size, high long-distance transportation costs, suitable for long-term use at fixed locations.
container house
- Install and use: Integrated lifting, no on-site construction is required, and can be transported directly by truck or crane during relocation, suitable for frequent moving scenarios.
- Global standardization: Comply with international transportation sizes, and facilitate cross-border/cross-regional transportation (such as overseas engineering camps).
3. Cost comparison
Mobile room
- Low initial cost: the unit price is about 200-500 yuan/㎡, suitable for projects with limited short-term budgets.
- High maintenance cost: boards need to be replaced regularly, paint and rust, and the long-term use cost may exceed the container room.
container house
- High initial investment: the unit price is about 800-1500 yuan/㎡ (including basic transformation), but the long-term cost-effectiveness is better.
- Low maintenance cost: only simple anti-rust treatment is required, and it can be used stably for a long time after transformation.
4. Space and Extensibility
Mobile room
- Flexible layout: Single-layer or multi-layer structures can be designed freely with a large span (such as factory buildings, exhibition halls).
- Insulation limitations: In the north, the insulation layer needs to be thickened in winter, which has a high energy consumption.
container house
- Space restriction: Standard size (such as 20 feet: 6m×2.4m×2.6m), low floor height, multiple units need to combine to expand the space.
- Vertical expansion: stackable 3-4 floors, suitable for high-density sites (such as temporary urban apartments).
5. Environmental adaptability
Mobile room
- Climate limitation: weak wind resistance (usually ≤ 8), average thermal insulation performance, and extreme weather (storm, blizzard) are susceptible to damage.
container house
- All-weather and durable: The original design is adapted to harsh sea environments, can withstand level 12 typhoons, and has excellent waterproofing performance.
- Insulation short board: The metal box needs to be equipped with insulation layer (such as rock wool) and air conditioning system, otherwise it will be stuffy in summer.
6. Compliance and approval
Mobile room
- Temporary building permit: Most areas have simple approval, but need to be reapplyed or demolished for more than 2 years.
container house
- Policy risks: Some cities restrict them as residential (necessarily comply with building codes), and commercial uses (such as shops, offices) are more likely to be approved.
7. Environmental protection and sustainability
- Mobile board room: The recycling rate of color steel plates is low, and construction waste is easily generated after being discarded.
- Container House: Use decommissioned containers (about 4 million units are eliminated every year around the world) to reduce resource waste, which is in line with the trend of the circular economy.
