If you are planning to build a new home, then you may like to consider the distinctive style that sea containers for sale can bring to your house design. For the past 5-10 years architects all around the world have been experimenting with buying sea containers for sale and incorporating them into home designs. Buying up sea containers for sale and using them in the construction of new homes is cutting edge architecture that has a number of benefits for the home builder and the environment. The designs that make use of sea containers tend to use between four and eight containers.

Advantages of Sea Containers for Sale for Building Homes

According to architects that are using sea container in home design, this kind of construction has a number of advantages:

  • Speed: The amount of time taken to construct a home with sea containers is around 40 per cent less than with regular construction methods.
  • Cost: Sea containers for sale are very affordable and can reduce the total price of construction by at least 10 per cent.
  • Eco-friendly: Reusing the containers reduces the need for raw materials and minimises the environmental impact of home construction.
  • Strength: Shipping containers are extremely strong and durable, which makes them ideal for construction especially in locations that face extreme weather such as cyclones.

Many people find the aesthetic of reused shipping containers appealing and homes that are constructed from used sea containers will stand out from other designs in the neighbourhood for their modern style. When you buy up sea containers for use in your home construction, you can choose to keep the design simple so that it remains somewhat apparent that the home is built with the containers or you can choose to camouflage them.

The more that you alter the appearance of the shipping containers the higher the cost will be so if you are on a strict budget it is best to select the modern design and keep it simple. Home construction with shipping containers is generally very easy, the only consideration is that you need to include insulation to prevent overheating.

A few short years ago there were no homes built from used sea containers and now they are popping up all around the world. Many architects are taking the environmentally friendly angle and running with it by finding more and more ways to include other recycled materials or sustainable energies.

Sea containers for sale are so affordable, that this is truly a realistic solution to the current high cost of housing and environmental concerns.  Contact Gateway Container Sales & Hire now to discuss how we can help you build your dream home with used shipping containers!
