House from containers

()

Although the house from containers until recently sounded like crazy, today more and more companies propose such a solution. It is an ecological, fast and modern way for your own apartment.

Houses with containers (next to microdoms, houses on the water and Finnish houses) are slowly becoming an increasingly popular alternative to buying a new flat. It is not only the effect of high prices, but also an increasing social awareness and a growing eco-lifestyle. Although for many it still sounds crazy - we assure you that there is a method in it.

The trend for houses from sea containers has flourished in the US and Scandinavian countries. Until a few years ago, it was treated more as a whim, only for exceptionally wealthy people - today, even on the Polish market, we find companies that prepare homes from turnkey containers, including their proper insulation (at prices competitive for flats in new housing estates) .

Marine containers - constructed of stainless steel covered with a protective layer of paint and epoxy resin - are the most commonly used for adaptation. The containers used in sea transport are generally made of stainless steel covered with a protective layer of paint and epoxy resin. It is therefore necessary to properly insulate such a building, eg polyurethane, which ensures its energy-saving and the ability to keep cool in the summer, and heat in winter inside houses from containers.

The house can also be made of tin containers, reinforced with closed profiles. These are popular constructions that are most often used for the construction of garages or construction storage compartments.

Container houses by their producers are referred to as LEGO bricks, because several or even more than a dozen connected containers can be used for the construction of more fanciful and larger buildings. It all depends on our imagination and budget - we can order a simple, basic project of adaptation of a single container or something more fancy, for example, a two-story house, or even ... an office building! This solution already exists in London.
