20ft One Bedroom Modular Container House
If you’re hunting for a single-bedroom modular home that balances low shipping costs and fast build times, our 20ft single room expandable container house is your ideal pick. This expandable unit uses a double fold-out wing design, built on thick galvanized steel frames and EPS insulated wall boards. It works great for short-stay accommodation, small business booths and long-term private living all around the globe.
Once folded narrow, the unit takes up minimal space inside shipping vessels. A single 40HQ high cube container can fit two full units, cutting down your ocean shipping bills significantly. Every part inside the house—room layout, wall materials, kitchen and bathroom fittings, electrical circuits—can be tweaked to match local market needs for global buyers. It’s widely used for mountain getaways, construction site single staff quarters, disaster temporary housing and roadside service kiosks.
Features
Product Description
Our 20ft single bedroom expandable modular home stands out from regular flat pack containers thanks to its stretchable bilateral side wings. After full unfolding on site, it delivers a spacious 37 sq.m living zone, while folding slim to slash ocean transport volume.
All frames, wall panels, doors, windows and internal wiring assemblies are fully finished in our factory ahead of delivery. Pre-drilled bolt holes and pre-mounted door/window frames come pre-installed, so crews skip tedious cutting and welding on-site. The structure passes wind, rain and seismic resistance testing, and fits all types of flat ground foundation for domestic and overseas projects.


Product Details
Robust Galvanized Steel Frame Construction
Both the central main frame and two side wing frames are constructed from high-grade galvanized steel profiles, holding up well in rainy, humid and seaside areas without easy rusting.
● Main frame: 80802.5mm square tubes for top and side horizontal beams; 801402.75mm square tubes for bottom support beams; 2.0mm bent steel sheets for top/bottom end frames and vertical support columns.
● Wing frame: 40801.5mm P-shaped steel and square tubes for upper frames; 60801.5mm square tubes for bottom wing frames, paired with 130mm galvanized folding hinges for smooth opening and closing.
● The whole metal frame goes through electrostatic plastic spray and baking paint treatment. With regular outdoor maintenance, the frame can last up to 15 years.
Thermal Insulated Wall & Roof Panels
We use EPS color steel composite panels as standard, balancing heat retention, noise blocking and basic fire protection.
● Outer roof layer: 950 type 50mm EPS composite board with double-sided 0.3mm color steel, plus 0.4mm corrugated steel sheet. Its 360° interlocking structure stops rainwater seepage effectively.
● Indoor ceiling: Matching 50mm thick EPS sandwich panels for a neat, smooth interior finish.
● Outer wall panels: 65mm thick 950 type EPS boards; inner partition walls use thinner 50mm panels, with an STC 35 sound insulation rating to block outside noise.
Quick On-Site Assembly Work
You only need flat compact gravel or concrete ground to place this house. All heavy fabrication steps are completed inside our factory before shipment. Every set ships with pre-punched bolt holes, pre-installed door and window frames, plus a full set of sealing accessories. You'll just need a crane or forklift to unload the folded unit; 2 to 3 workers with simple hand tools can finish unfolding and full assembly within 3–4 hours. All panel seams come with matching rubber strips and structural sealant, so buyers don't need extra waterproof coating after installation.
Heavy-Duty Floor Structure
We build floors with fire-resistant materials that hold steady under daily long-term use.
● Base floor sheet: 18mm magnesium oxide fireproof board for solid structural strength and fire safety.
● Surface finish: 2mm wood grain anti-slip PVC floor covering that's waterproof and easy to wipe clean.
● Rated live load of the floor: 2.5 kN per square meter, fully meeting daily residential weight demands.
Standard Built-In Features
● Front entrance door: One 840*2035mm steel fire door with 3-point anti-theft lock.
● Windows: Four 930*930mm plastic steel inward tilt windows, double-glazed with built-in fly screens for heat insulation and bug prevention.
● Layout design: Base single-bedroom open plan; buyers can upgrade to layouts with up to four separate sleeping rooms, and we can adjust bathroom length freely per requests.
● Suitable occupancy: 2 to 4 people for the standard one-bedroom layout.
Complete Pre-Wired Electrical System
All wiring follows moisture-proof construction rules, and we can adjust circuits to meet different countries' certification standards.
● Factory standard voltage: 220V / 50Hz; we can rework circuits to 110V/60Hz or other local power specs on request.
● Standard electrical fittings: One large ceiling lamp, international 3-hole and 5-hole power sockets, single and double gang light switches.
● Wire size breakdown: 6mm² main incoming cable, 4mm² air conditioner wiring, 2.5mm for regular sockets, 1.5mm for lighting loops. All wiring can be adjusted to pass local export certification checks.
● Default power capacity: 12KW, with upgrades available for high-power equipment users.
