how to prevent container houses from rusting
At present, the container house has won wide recognition from users. It influences almost all kinds of industries. The modular container housing not only has a favorite price, but also easy to move and built quickly. Rust can be said to be the key factor affecting the life span of container houses.
Then, how to prevent container houses from rusting? BUWO has 4 suggestions to solve this issue:
1. Seal the peripheral walls
Because the main material of the prefabricated container house is steel. It will get rusty if exposed for a long time in humid outdoor environment. If people want to prevent container houses from rusting from harmful substances at the source, we should do a good job in the construction of the relevant measures. So, we can use the insulated material to seal the peripheral walls well, to avoid the outdoor humid air into the room.
2. Use moisture-proof products
Sometimes the container houses will be used in the scenic area, and it may be more humid if there are lots of trees and lakes. If located there, the container houses are more likely to get rusted. To prevent container houses from rusting because of moisture, during construction we can also use a layer of moisture-proof insulation material inside and outside the wall. It can both increase the house insulation and avoid moisture erosion.
3. Add anti-corrosion coating
Since most components of the container houses are steel plates or steel pipes, to prevent the corrosion of the components, adding a layer of anti-corrosion coating on the surface is particularly important.
4. Regularly do maintenance works
It may not completely prevent container houses from rusting even in accordance with the above three methods. So, it’s better to remove the rust and repaint the exterior wall of the container house timely. Paint, especially anti-rust paint, can effectively isolate steel from air to prevent rusting due to oxidation.
The main parts of BUWO container house are used steel materials that galvanized on the surface. After the galvanized processing, ordinary carbon construction steel can effectively prevent steel from corrosion and rust, thus it can relatively protect the house and extend its service life. If you have higher requirements for corrosion protection or are in a humid area such as the seaside or the house needs to be acid and alkali resistant, we can propose professional solutions for you!
