Do you want to live cheaply and quickly? Then a living container is the simplest solution. Living containers are not so common here, but they are often used abroad, for companies, kindergartens, public institutes or families. You would probably be amazed at how luxurious you can live if you have the right amenities.
They say you should never judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for container homes. When you imagine a simple medical container, you probably think of an unsightly white shed used on construction sites. However, real living containers have practically nothing in common with them. White is by no means necessary and the shape can also be freely designed - of course you are limited by the square shape of the container, but if a few containers are placed next to and on top of each other, a normal building with a flat roof is created.
A living container is a popular form of housing, e.g. B. in Texas and California (generally in the USA), of the European countries e.g. B. Great Britain - there is a district in London where there are only container houses. In Germany, nursing homes, student homes and kindergartens are built in this way, i.e. buildings that usually have to be erected very quickly.
However, there are also companies here that deal with the construction of container houses, so if you decide on such a house, you are by no means an exception.
There are two reasons - price and speed. In our country you can get a living container with two rooms and a kitchen for very cheap. It sounds almost unbelievable, but you can move within a week. The containers are manufactured in a hall, so production is independent of the weather. The container is already transported to the destination, so it just depends on how long it takes to set up.
Perhaps the container already has a floor, that depends on where it was purchased. If just a simple shipping container is purchased for construction workers to use during a construction project, it will likely have a wooden floor. Pay attention to this, as the shipping containers are designed to withstand an overseas journey and protect the goods being transported. For this reason, wooden floors are often treated with various chemicals, so it makes sense to remove this floor and lay a new one.
If the container is to be used as a house, it will probably be custom-made by a special manufacturing company. In this case it is usually delivered without a bottom. The companies provide pure container cells and the setup depends only on you. PVC tiles are usually recommended, and terramondi is one of the options. Why?
One of the main reasons is speed. A living container is purchased in order to be able to live quickly, so you don't want to spend time laying the floor. A container without interior fittings can also be obtained, but the floor is one of the things that is essential. The PVC tiles are laid very quickly; the terramondi tiles do not need to be glued or dried. As soon as the floor has been laid, the move can start.
The PVC tiles terramondi can be cut with a simple knife. This means that the side tiles can be adjusted very easily and precisely.
The container walls cannot insulate the heat that well, so good thermal insulation is very important if the building is to be inhabited all year round. And since cold feet are perhaps the worst thing, the container floor plays a very important role. Electric floor foils are often used to provide warmth, but you should still consider an insulating floor. The PVC tiles terramondi function as perfect thermal insulation so that you don't get cold feet in the container.
The PVC tiles primarily protect against mold and corrosion. They have a Sys on the bottom sidetem consists of drainage channels that drain away moisture. The main reason why steel containers are good is because the material used can otherwise corrode when exposed to moisture.
Perhaps you decide on a living container because you want to live ecologically and have as little impact on nature as possible. The terramondi floor construction meets this wish. The tiles are made from recyclable raw materials and can be reprocessed and pressed again after use.
If you manage to furnish the living container tastefully and add a beautiful external facade, no one has to realize at first glance that there is not a brick house here. You can even have a container set up as a garage. Here too, the tiles from terramondi can be used as a garage floor. They are designed for heavy loads and are often used in garages.
