The 20FT Expandable Container House is a prefabricated modular housing solution designed for fast deployment, efficient transportation, and flexible space expansion. In folded condition, the unit maintains standard container dimensions for easy shipping. Once installed on site, the structure expands horizontally to create a spacious and functional living or working environment.
This expandable container house is widely used for residential accommodation, site offices, temporary housing, and remote project camps, offering a reliable balance between mobility, comfort, and durability.
Scalable modular structure
The 20FT Expandable Container House is engineered to solve the limitations of traditional container rooms by integrating an expandable modular structure with factory-prefabricated systems. During transportation, the unit remains in a compact 20-foot container size, significantly reducing shipping costs and simplifying logistics. After arrival, the expandable sections are unfolded on-site to increase the usable interior area without additional construction work.
The main structure is built with a reinforced steel frame designed to support repeated folding and expansion. All hinges, rails, and locking mechanisms are factory-installed and tested to ensure smooth operation and long-term structural stability. Compared with conventional buildings, this expandable container house requires minimal site preparation and no complex civil construction.
Thermal insulation sandwich material
Wall panels, roof, and flooring are manufactured with insulated sandwich materials to enhance thermal performance and indoor comfort. This ensures the unit can adapt to different climates and usage environments. Doors and windows are integrated into the expandable sections, allowing natural light and ventilation immediately after deployment.
Electrical wiring, lighting, switches, and basic plumbing systems are pre-installed in the factory, enabling rapid commissioning once power and water are connected. Optional configurations such as bathroom modules, kitchen units, air conditioning, and interior partitions can be customized according to project requirements.
Thanks to its modular and foldable design, the 20FT expandable container house is suitable for both temporary and semi-permanent applications. It can be relocated when needed, making it a cost-effective solution for projects that require flexibility, fast installation, and controlled budgets.
