Why does our expandable modular house stand out?
1. Expandable design
Freely increase or decrease space:
- Manually connect modules, and one person can complete expansion or contraction using standard tools, without the need for a professional construction team.
- The new module is locked with the original structure through a unified interface, and independent units such as bedrooms, kitchens, and storage rooms can be added.
Adaptable scenarios: Supports horizontal extension (maximum single-side extension of 12 meters) or upward stacking (up to 6 floors), meeting long-term needs such as family population growth and store area adjustment.
2. Quick installation & convenient transportation
Quick construction: The basic house (100㎡) only takes 3 days to assemble on site, while the traditional equivalent building takes more than 3 months.
Convenient transportation: The module can be folded to 37% of the original volume, suitable for standard container transportation, reducing international logistics costs.
Terrain compatibility: It comes with an adjustable leg system and can be directly installed on uneven ground such as slopes and sand without foundation construction.
3. High-strength steel structure & durability
Safety performance: The main body is made of special high-strength steel, which is 5 times stronger than the wooden structure and can withstand a super typhoon of level 17 and an earthquake of magnitude 9.
Long-term protection:
- The exterior walls and roofs are protected by multi-layer metal coatings, which will not rust for 30 years;
- The fireproof performance is up to 2 hours (open flames do not spread), and the moisture-proof and insect-proof design has passed the extreme hot and humid environment test.
4. Energy saving & environmental protection
High efficiency and energy saving:
- The wall insulation performance is 40% better than that of traditional buildings, and the air conditioning energy consumption is reduced by half;
- The roof is pre-installed with a solar panel installation interface, and the wall is reserved for rainwater recycling pipes.
Environmental certification: The steel is 100% recyclable, and there is zero construction waste during the construction process, which meets international green building standards.
5. Personalized customization
Flexible configuration: 12 basic apartment templates are provided, supporting customized wall colors, floor materials and interior partition layouts.
Intelligent upgrade: The wall reserves a dedicated channel for wires, which is compatible with the mainstream smart home systems in the market (lighting, temperature control, security, etc.).
Future expansion: Water and electricity pipelines are pre-buried in a centralized manner, and there is no need to break walls and remodel new rooms in the future, and the module interfaces are compatible for life.
