So what are the main materials of the space capsule?

The primary materials include aluminum veneer, steel structure, insulated panels, fluorocarbon paint, polyurethane foam, and silicon glue. Each of these materials contributes to the overall durability, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal of the capsule houses.

In the following sections, we will delve deeper into each material, explaining their applications, roles, and advantages in the construction of Capsule Houses. This detailed exploration will help you appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness that go into building these innovative homes.

Aluminum Veneer

Application in Capsule Houses:

Aluminum veneer is a critical material in the construction of capsule houses, used extensively for exterior cladding and structural components.

Role

The aluminum veneer used in capsule houses is self-produced, ensuring high quality and purity. This material offers exceptional plasticity and stability, making it ideal for the unique requirements of capsule house construction. Free from impurities, the aluminum veneer is durable and resistant to various environmental factors.

Advantages

Aviation-grade aluminum panels, known for their exceptional strength and durability, are used. These panels are suitable for harsh environments, such as highways and airports, providing a robust and reliable solution for capsule houses. The use of high-quality aluminum ensures that the houses can withstand the test of time and adverse weather conditions, ensuring safety and longevity for the inhabitants.

In one of our recent projects, aluminum veneer was used to construct a capsule house located in a coastal area. The house has withstood several severe storms without any damage, demonstrating the material’s durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.

Steel Structure

Application in Capsule Houses:

Steel forms the backbone of capsule houses, providing the main framework and support structure.

Role

Capsule houses use 1001003 HDG (hot-dip galvanized) plates for the main keel, ensuring a strong and shock-absorbing framework. This scientifically arranged structure offers superior durability and resistance to external stresses compared to frameworks from other factories, which often use minimal materials and have disorganized designs.

Advantages

The advantages of the steel structure include high durability, reduced maintenance costs, and long-term reliability. By using robust materials and precise engineering, the capsule houses provide a safe and stable living environment, capable of withstanding various challenges over time.

Insulated Panels

Application in Capsule Houses:

Insulated panels are used for the walls and roofing of capsule houses, providing essential thermal insulation.

Role

The insulated panels are made from high-performance polyurethane insulation boards. These boards offer multiple benefits, including being flame-retardant, heat and sound insulated, heat-preserved, waterproof, and airtight. The insulation thickness ranges from 8 to 10 cm, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and comfort.

Advantages

The high-quality insulation materials achieve cold storage level insulation, making them suitable for the cold chain industry. This means that the houses can maintain a stable internal temperature, providing a comfortable living environment regardless of external weather conditions.

Compared to traditional fiberglass insulation, polyurethane insulation boards offer superior thermal performance and durability. Fiberglass insulation can degrade over time and is less effective in extreme weather conditions, whereas polyurethane boards maintain their insulating properties and structural integrity for much longer.

Fluorocarbon Paint

Application in Capsule Houses:

Fluorocarbon paint is applied to the exterior surfaces of capsule houses, enhancing their durability and aesthetics.

Role

The fluorocarbon paint provides a durable color that lasts longer and maintains its vibrancy over time. This paint also creates a smoother surface, improving the overall appearance of the house.

Advantages

One of the critical processes in applying this paint is acid pickling, which removes impurities and toxic substances from the aluminum plates, ensuring they are smooth and defect-free. Large-scale spraying equipment is used to achieve uniform and eco-friendly coatings, certified by national environmental assessments. This meticulous process ensures that the exterior of the capsule houses is not only visually appealing but also highly resistant to environmental damage.

Polyurethane Foam

Application in Capsule Houses:

Polyurethane foam is used for internal insulation layers and foaming treatments in capsule houses.

Role

Polyurethane foam provides high-performance insulation, offering flame-retardant, heat-preserved, and sound insulated properties. It is also waterproof and airtight, ensuring a high level of energy efficiency within the house.

Advantages

By using polyurethane foam, the capsule houses can maintain a comfortable interior environment regardless of external conditions. This material helps to regulate temperature, reduce noise, and prevent moisture ingress, contributing to a more pleasant and sustainable living space.

Thermal Break Aluminum

Application in Doors and Windows:

Thermal break aluminum is used in the construction of doors and windows in capsule houses.

Role

Thermal break aluminum ensures high-level insulation and energy efficiency for doors and windows. This material significantly reduces thermal conductivity, enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the house.

Adavntages

In addition to insulation, thermal break aluminum provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability. The doors, made from aviation aluminum sheets, come with a 30-year warranty, reflecting their high quality and reliability. Door sealing strips further enhance these benefits by providing soundproofing, dust prevention, waterproofing, and protection.

Silicon Glue

Application in Capsule Houses:

Silicon glue is used for bonding and sealing various components in capsule houses.

Role

Industrial adhesive silicon glue with a 25-year lifespan is commonly used for large skyscrapers, high-speed rail, and airports. This high-quality adhesive prevents leaks and other safety hazards, ensuring the structural integrity of the house.

Advantages

Using substandard glue can lead to leaks and other issues, compromising the safety and durability of the house. By using top-tier silicon glue, all bonded and sealed components of the capsule houses remain secure and reliable over time.

Conclusion 

The quality and durability of capsule houses are a direct result of using high-quality materials like aluminum veneer, steel structures, insulated panels, fluorocarbon paint, polyurethane foam, thermal break aluminum, and silicon glue. Each of these materials plays a crucial role in ensuring that these innovative homes provide a safe, comfortable, and sustainable living environment.
