Expandable Container House

Professional-grade expandable prefabricated house structural system

Reinforced Galvanized Structural System 

We use full-size 210×150×160mm galvanized corner fittings and high-grade Q235 structural steel for all main beams and columns, with a yield strength exceeding 235MPa. This heavy-duty framework ensures no deformation even after repeated lifting and long-term use, while the hot-dip galvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, preventing rust and extending the service life.

Professional Surface Treatment 

Unlike ordinary paint, we adopt powder coating + baking process for all structural parts, with strict temperature and time control during production. The eco-friendly powder coating is recyclable, offers a 3+ year lifespan without fading, and creates a uniform, scratch-resistant surface that outperforms traditional paint in durability and environmental performance.

A1-grade fire-resistant and thermally insulated wall panels

All models come standard with a 50/75/100/120mm high-density rock wool insulation layer, meeting the A1 fire-resistant standard. With a thermal conductivity as low as 0.038W/(m·K), they utilize a composite wall system of "rock wool + moisture-proof membrane + metal panel," and can be upgraded to polyurethane, with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.024W/(m·K).

Superior Waterproof & Sealing System 

Every expandable container undergoes 100% water tightness testing before delivery. The wall panels and roof are designed with adouble waterproofing system using structuralsealant and butyl tape, and have passed a 100%waterproofing test to ensure long-term leak-freeoperation.

Corrosion-Resistant & Low-Maintenance Design

From galvanized steel frames to powder-coated surfaces, every detail is designed for low maintenance. The rust-resistant materials eliminate the need for frequent repainting or repairs, making our expandable container houses ideal for remote areas, construction sites, or long-term residential use.

Expandable Container House Price

The price of UVO expandable container homes is influenced by multiple factors, including size specifications, layout design, internal configuration, and personalized customization needs. Our brand's base price range is $6,999-$13,000.

If you require upgrades to the spatial layout, such as adding multiple bedrooms or multi-functional offices, the overall price will increase accordingly. Choosing quality upgrades, such as adding a complete kitchen system, high-end insulation, and premium interior finishes, will also increase the price.

Transportation costs will also affect the final total price. Especially for long-distance cross-border or remote area deliveries, transportation costs can account for a significant portion of the overall cost.

UVO adheres to the principles of transparent pricing and diverse configuration options, allowing you to freely choose and customize according to your budget and actual needs.
