The Hardcover model provides significantly higher structural rigidity, better insulation, and enhanced protection against extreme weather conditions compared to soft-shell or lightweight models.
To ensure maximum safety and structural integrity during transit, one 40HQ container fits 1 piece of the 40ft Expandable Folding House.
Yes, the 73㎡ represents the total cover area based on the extended external dimensions of L11800mm x W6220mm.
Yes, our metal structure manufacturing process uses high-grade galvanized steel, which is specifically designed to resist corrosion in humid and coastal environments.
The process involves placing the unit on a level foundation, unfolding the side walls via the integrated mechanical system, and securing the roof and locks.
While designed primarily as single-story units, the structural integrity of the hardcover model can support stacking if proper engineering foundations and connecting kits are implemented.
