On November 26, 2025, a major fire broke out in Hong Kong’s Houfui Estate, affecting 7 buildings. This disaster highlights the significance of fire-resistant and flame-retardant properties of building materials.
Why Fire Resistance Is Crucial in Container House Construction
With the global rise of modular housing, container homes, and prefabricated buildings, the importance of fire-resistant materials has become a top priority. Whether used for worker accommodation, temporary offices, schools, emergency shelters, or commercial spaces, safety remains non-negotiable
Fireproof and flame-retardant materials
1. Galvanized Steel Structure – Strong, Durable, Corrosion-Resistant
2. Rock Wool Sandwich Panels – Class A Fire Rating
3. Flame-Retardant Foam Panels – Economical Fire Protection Option
Fireproof container houses are applicable in multiple scenarios
Construction worker dormitories
Mining camps
Emergency shelters
Commercial stores
Office buildings
Classrooms
How to Select Reliable Suppliers
When choosing a supplier, you can focus on the following aspects：
Whether to use galvanized steel
Is the core material of the panel made of rock wool or flame-retardant foam?
Is a fire resistance rating certificate provided (such as A1 grade)?
Do you support the customization of fire protection solutions?
Is the factory’s scale legitimate and reliable?
Conclusion: Fire Resistance Should Be a Top Priority in Container Housing
Fire resistance is not an optional feature—it is a critical guarantee of safety.
Through the use of galvanized steel, rock wool sandwich panels, container homes become safer, more durable, and more reliable for long-term use
