At the core of this innovation lies a galvanized steel frame primed with zinc-rich undercoats and finished in Grand Grey epoxy paint, ensuring corrosion resistance and longevity . The structural components are meticulously selected to meet Australian Standards, as outlined in the table below:
| Компонент | Material Specifications | Performance Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | Galvanized steel with zinc-rich primer + epoxy paint (Grand Grey) | Withstands coastal corrosion and UV degradation; fire-resistant and low maintenance. |
| Напольные покрытия | Magnesium concrete composite (MGO) with timber-look vinyl overlay | Rot/insect-proof; excellent thermal insulation; high load-bearing capacity (1.5 tonnes/m²). |
| Roofing | Centre: Thick steel sheeting (epoxy-painted) with glass-wool underlay Side: Fibreglass/steel cladding with EPS insulation |
Thermal/acoustic insulation (R-value 2.5–3.0); water-tight seal; reduces heat transfer by 70%. |
| Walls | Steel-clad exterior/interior with expanded polystyrene (EPS) core | Fire-rated (B1 class); resists termites and moisture; maintains consistent indoor temperature. |
| Windows/Doors | Double-glazed aluminium frames with flyscreens; frosted privacy glass for bathroom doors | Reduces noise transmission by 35 dB; thermal break design minimizes heat loss/gain. |
Smart Design for Seamless Living
The Expandable Container House prioritizes user experience through intuitive features:
- Rapid Expansion Mechanism: Unfolding in 3–5 hours (excluding options), the unit utilizes a hydraulic winch system (optional 240V electric winch) to expand widthwise, transforming a 20ft container into a 37m² living space .
- Pre-Installed Systems: Electrical wiring complies with AS3001, pre-wired for air conditioning and connected to a distribution board with circuit breakers . Plumbing fixtures, including a luxurious full-length shower and stainless steel kitchen sink, are factory-installed for plug-and-play convenience.
- Energy Efficiency: The combination of MGO flooring, EPS-insulated walls, and double glazing achieves an energy rating of 6–7 stars, reducing heating/cooling costs by up to 40% compared to conventional homes .
Tailored for Australian Lifestyles
