Description
Designed for buyers who need real floor space that can still be moved, the folding container house folds down to a narrow transport box and unfolds into a 14-15 m2 living unit. The wings are part of the steel structure, not an add-on, and they are lifted into place with the same crane that sets the unit down. Because the electrical system, the sandwich panels, the windows and the floor are fitted during production, the house is ready to use the moment the wings are locked and the power is connected.
The stone texture finish gives this folding container house the appearance of a small masonry building while keeping the flat-pack transport advantage. It is chosen when the unit is going into a permanent or semi-permanent setting - a park, a resort, a school ground, a security post at a development entrance - where a plain steel box would look out of place. The textured surface also disguises the scuffs and marks that any relocatable building collects over time.
Every unit sits on a galvanised steel frame built from national-standard square tube and bent sections. The top and bottom beams run the full length of the body and continue into the wings through 130 mm galvanised hinges, so the opened floor is level and rigid. Electrostatic powder coating with an anti-corrosion undercoat gives the frame a long service life even in wet or coastal climates.
The envelope uses 950-type EPS colour steel sandwich panels: 50 mm on the roof and inner ceiling, 65 mm on the side, front and rear walls and on the wing roofs, and 50 mm for internal partitions. Glass magnesium board of 18 mm forms the floor across the main body and both wings, giving a rigid, moisture-resistant deck that accepts laminate or PVC finishes.
