With the growth of the travel and camping economy, capsule homes are attracting attention for their unique design and convenience, but they also raise a number of questions. The following answers key questions.
Why are the prices so high?
The pricing is based on high-standard materials and features. The structure utilizes high-strength galvanized steel pipes for stability. The insulation layer is made of polyurethane, which offers excellent thermal insulation and contains flame-retardant ingredients, achieving a Class A flame retardancy rating. The floors are finished with SPC fire-resistant flooring, and the walls are covered with carbon crystal decorative panels, both durable and environmentally friendly. The interior is decorated to five-star hotel standards and features intelligent control throughout the home. These high-quality features directly impact the cost.
Can it be used in extreme climates?
Absolutely. For extremely hot or cold regions, the design features increased insulation thickness to effectively block temperature differences between the outside and inside. Air conditioning, floor heating, and other temperature control features are standard. Tests have shown that even in temperatures as cold as -30°C or as hot as 40°C, the extra-thick insulation combined with the temperature control system maintains a comfortable indoor temperature, meeting living needs.
How is it transported?
Primarily shipped by sea, special containers are required because their length, width, and height exceed the specifications for ordinary containers specified in the GB/T 1413-2021 standard. Special containers are significantly more expensive than ordinary containers, resulting in ocean freight typically accounting for 1/2 to 2/3 of the product price, a significant cost component.
Is there a solution to high ocean freight costs?
Modular capsule homes have been developed. Disassembled into standard modules, they can fit two to three units into a 40-foot high cabinet, significantly reducing unit shipping costs. However, modular products carry a slight price premium and require on-site assembly, incurring labor and equipment costs. They are more suitable for campsites and tourism developments. While shipping a fully shipped capsule is more expensive, the space capsule is ready for immediate occupancy upon arrival, making the overall cost more economical than traditional construction.
What is its safety rating?
Excellent safety features. Professionally tested and certified for earthquake resistance, they are rated for magnitude 10, ensuring safety in earthquake-prone areas. Wind load tests have proven they can withstand a force 12 typhoon, ensuring structural stability in extreme weather conditions, providing reliable protection for residents. In summary, capsule housing meets stringent standards for materials, adaptability, and safety. While transportation costs are relatively high, continuous technological innovation and optimization make it an excellent value for scenarios requiring rapid implementation and prioritizing quality.
