LIVING CONTAINERS FOR SALE
Residential container for temporary stay
A residential container is nothing more than an arrangement of a container or several containers for residential purposes, taking into account the functionality of social containers, office containers and sanitary containers. For many years, we have been observing the growing popularity of all containers that can be used permanently or as year-round apartments or even container houses. In recent years, with the increasing availability of new and used containers, both regular office containers and sea containers, customers are looking for containers for temporary stay, e.g. a container for a plot of land, containers for temporary workers during field work and for the accommodation of workers during construction works. A new trend is the search for solutions in the field of container houses with an area of up to 35m². A residential container with an area of about 13m² should not serve more than two people. A maximum of two or one person will be able to comfortably use the living space and sanitary part.
Equipment and division of the residential container
Bathroom of the residential container – shower, sink and toilet, electrical installation, water and sewage installation.
Apartment – residential part for all-day stay equipped – Electrical installation, electric heater.
Kitchen of the residential container – kitchen area which is part of the residential space – kitchenette with refrigerator, single-bowl sink with tap and electric cooker. Hot utility water is supplied by an electric heater powered by electricity.
Residential containers for employees
Residential containers have a very wide range of applications, starting from emergencies such as sudden changes in weather conditions, disasters or warfare in which people are left without a roof over their heads, where immediate action is needed to provide shelter for the injured. In such circumstances, even long-term stays for the elderly or mothers with children or even entire families should be considered. It should also be taken into account that the residential containers will be occupied by people who are complete strangers, which will require taking care of more intimate and safe conditions.
Housing containers during the pandemic
In addition, recent problems with the COVID19 pandemic have shown that containers are useful for limiting the spread of the virus by providing a separate, safe and isolated place for infected people. A housing container can be used like a modular hotel room, as it is fully sufficient for an independent stay for one person.
Container house
Every residential building, such as a house or apartment, must have solutions and devices necessary for everyday use. This involves dividing the facility into a kitchen area, an all-day stay area, or a bedroom and a corridor. The area where meals can be prepared should include kitchen furniture with a countertop and sink, as well as an electric stove, oven or microwave and, of course, a refrigerator. Mobilbox rents and sells equipment for container kitchens, social facilities and employee dining rooms. The offered solutions are dedicated to installation in a residential container or social container and a container house.
A residential container for years
A residential container requires maintaining special aesthetics inside and outside the container as well as appropriate quality of materials and their installation. The container is used for several years in various circumstances. During the production and design of a residential container, it should be taken into account that the materials are solid and durable.
Modular construction based on containers
A residential container, due to its advantages such as a durable frame, modular structure and ease of its movement and transport, can be part of a multi-module residential facility. In combination with other containers, we can adopt additional rooms or other usable space in them. In our geographical conditions, these are most often temporary facilities, used seasonally in tourism or construction. Sometimes local governments decide to buy or rent such facilities for people without a roof over their heads.
Residential containers and social containers
Residential containers can be used as social containers by employees who use them only during work, as a place of refuge from unfavorable weather, to prepare a meal, rest or simply spend a break. It is worth paying attention to installing air conditioning in the container, which will contribute to faster regeneration of employees on hot days. Such a container not only provides shelter and safety, but in emergencies it can also provide comfortable accommodation.
The attractiveness of residential containers
The growth in popularity of containers, and especially residential containers, occurred at a time of growing awareness of the possibilities offered by the sea container, which, due to its high durability and easy availability, has become the subject of various and original adaptations to container houses, container hotels or even student housing estates made of sea containers. An additional advantage is the unlimited possibilities of solutions and ideas that we can implement in a container facility.
Residential container manufacturer
The manufacturer of residential containers should be open to the needs of customers and people who will use them. This applies primarily to planning such a residential facility, as well as the selection of equipment. In such a case, you should consider renting and buying furniture and RTV and household appliances and other equipment that is not permanently available from either the container manufacturer or the company renting the equipment.
Once a storage room, a barrack, a construction barrack, a workers’ barrack – today a modern residential container or a social container
In many parts of the country, terms used to describe or name residential containers and even social containers have taken root. This is a remnant of old solutions offered to employees in the construction, railway, energy and railway industries. A storage room or a barrack served employees during work as a shelter, a place to eat meals, and very often they were simply an ordinary apartment, especially in areas far from urban centers. They used different materials, there was more wood, different internal and external finishes, on a weaker wooden frame, which is why they were destroyed more quickly. Roofing felt was most often used on the roof instead of more durable galvanized sheet metal.
