The Guide to Porta cabins and cabin Containers

What Is Porta Cabin, and where can it be used?

Porta cabin is a kind of temporary building, also called of detachable container house. Porta cabin’s standard size is 5950(L)*3000(W)*2800(H) mm. They use high-strength steel to build the main frame, and use high-quality sandwich wall panels as walls and roofs to form a sturdy and durable overall structure. Prefab container cabins are highly flexible and support customized size, material and appearance design according to needs to meet diverse scene applications.

Porta cabin houses are a multifunctional solution for project camps and commercial spaces with excellent mobility. They can be quickly deployed in different locations to provide users with a convenient and comfortable space experience. The internal layout can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of people to achieve efficient use of space.

In addition, modern container house roofs can integrate solar photovoltaic systems to provide clean energy for indoor lighting, heating and water supply equipment, effectively ensuring electricity demand in remote areas.

With modular characteristics and rapid deployment capabilities, portable cabin containers are widely used in on-site offices, meeting rooms, staff dormitories, schools, hospitals, laboratories, refugee camps, toilets, storage rooms, etc. It has become the preferred solution for temporary modular buildings.

What you Should Know Before Buying a Porta Cabin?

Learn About the Porta Cabin base frame

The main structure of the prefab cabin is stable. The primary consideration for large camp construction is safety. The portacabin can be stacked up to 3 floors. The main structure and the density of the purlins of the bottom frame determine the load-bearing capacity and overall safety of the floor.

The main beams and columns of the porta cabin container are formed by cold bending with 2.3 mm thick galvanized steel. The surface treatment is completed by electrostatic spraying. The galvanized layer provides basic corrosion protection, and the spray coating gives the structure a unified visual texture. The double protection system ensures that the frame has both long-term corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

The bottom support system is composed of 14 long purlins and 30 transverse short purlins. The long purlins are 80x80mm (4 pieces) and 40x80mm (10 pieces). The two specifications of steel are evenly spaced. There are 30 transverse short purlins with a size of 30x50mm. The precise grid structure at the bottom can significantly enhance the platform’s bearing capacity and provide a stable foundation for the upper building.

The internal roof structure of the container house is composed of 0.4mm decorative ceiling and 50mm insulation core material, which reduces the heat conduction between indoor and outdoor.

The external roof system is covered with 0.4mm high-strength galvanized steel plate. A drainage structure with a two-way slope (uplift in the center and gradually lower around) is adopted. A deep groove gutter system is set at the eaves, and a drainage path is formed with the preset downpipe to ensure the smooth flow of rainwater.

Ensure that the portacabin has a good drainage system. The drainage system of the porta cabin is very important. If you do not consider this when buying, it will become a headache for you when it rains heavily. A good portable building should be weatherproof and have strong resistance to natural disasters.

Ensure that the porta cabin has a good internal seal. Inferior porta cabins may have very poor sealability and may make some noise when there is strong wind. The Porta cabin, which is well-sealed, does not have this problem.
insulation. When looking for a suitable portable structure as a storage building, make sure it has adequate and proper insulation.
Electrical facilities. Depending on the purpose of your Porta cabin, it is strongly recommended that you ensure that you provide the correct wiring, lighting and sockets.
Plan plumbing in advance. Installing the plumbing system before installing the floor and ceiling makes it easier to manage the plumbing.
Prefabricated porta cabin aesthetics. The porta cabin should have a beautiful appearance and complete internal facilities. So make sure that the portable building you buy has matching finishes and does not require additional exterior paint.

Container houses do not have high requirements for foundations. They only need to be placed on flat ground. For some special ground, point foundations, strip foundations, or concrete hardened foundations can usually be set up.

What Are Porta Cabin Walls Made Of?

The porta cabin wall panels are made of sandwich panels. There are three different materials and thicknesses to choose from, depending on climate and geography. These wall panels are good for any bad weather.

No.	Wall Panel Types	Thickness	Options
1	Rockwool Sandwich Panel	50mm/75mm/100mm	Standard Options. The most cost-effective choice.
2	Polyurethane Sandwich Panel	50mm/75mm/100mm	high-end choice, better performance, more beautiful.
3	EPS Foam Sandwich Panel	50mm/75mm/100mm	the cheapest option, the shorter service life choice.

The sandwich panel consists of two layers of galvanized metal panels (or panels of other materials) and a polymer insulation core that is foamed and cured directly in the middle of the panel, which is easy to install, lightweight, and efficient. Sandwich board is a common product in modern building materials, which is not only good in flame retardant and sound insulation, but also environmentally friendly and efficient.

It is widely used in Purifying factories, combined house, building top attachment, indoor partition, automobile painting room, refrigerator, and other projects, e. G. Interior decoration of civil building for medicine, electronic, foodstuff, beverage, vegetable preservation, and large refrigerator, etc.

Features Of Sandwich Panels:

The weight per square meter is less than 24kg, which can fully reduce the structure cost.
Light weight, plug-in, installation and free cutting characteristics, which determine the ease of installation, which can improve efficiency and save construction period.
The surface material and heat preservation material of the color steel composite core board are non-combustible or non-combustible materials, which can meet the requirements of fire protection regulations.
Colored steel plates treated with special coatings will last for 10-15 years. Afterwards, anti-corrosion coatings will be sprayed every ten years, and the life of the plates will reach more than 35 years.
The clear lines of the profiled steel plate are as many as dozens of colors, which can meet the needs of any style of building.
Thermal insulation Commonly used thermal insulation materials. Include: rock wool, glass fiber cotton, polystyrene, polyurethane, etc., with low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation effect.
Environmental protection and noise prevention.
The sound insulation strength of the composite board can reach 40-50 decibels, which is a very effective sound insulation material.
The plasticity and strong profiled steel plate can be cut arbitrarily, which can meet the needs of special design.
High-strength High-strength steel plate is used as the base material, the tensile strength is 5600 (kg/cm2), plus the most advanced design and roll forming, it has excellent structural characteristics.

Study Your Local Regulations Carefully

When deploying porta cabins globally, strict compliance with the building regulations and industry standards of the target countries is the first prerequisite for project success. Although our products adopt a universal modular design, each country has its own rules and standards. There are significant differences in the fire rating, structural wind pressure coefficient and seismic performance requirements of temporary buildings in different regions.
