How Long Can A Capsule House Last

Capsule houses are becoming increasingly popular due to their high cost performance and efficiency.  It is widely believed that capsule houses will dominate the market in the future.  However, a common concern among buyers is its durability.  A topic has sparked widespread discussion: "How long can capsule houses last?"  Many people think that the service life of capsule houses is not as long as that of traditional houses, but the fact is that "the service life of capsule houses is comparable to that of traditional houses."  There are even surprising conclusions suggesting that if properly built and maintained, the service life of modern capsule house may exceed that of traditional on-site constructed houses.

Some of the following questions: How long can the capsule house be used?  How long can it last?  These questions have not been fully answered yet.  Therefore, we will provide you with all the answers.  In this article, we will explore the service life of capsule houses, the factors affecting their durability, and suggestions for extending their service life.

The average service life of Capsule House

These capsule rooms can be used firmly for an average of fifty to eighty years.  Because they meet strict quality standards, are manufactured in professional factories and come with the builder's warranty, their performance remains good over time.  With proper maintenance, these capsule rooms are not only safe but also can be used for a lifetime.  With the advancement of design and engineering technology, capsule rooms are no longer temporary residences but can become an ideal choice for long-term living.  We have launched a series of products, such as modern capsule house, space cabin, capsule house with balcony, etc.  However, in addition to the above factors, the service life of prefabricated houses is also affected by many other factors.

Key factors affecting service life

First of all, the selection of materials and the overall quality of the building are very important.  If the capsule room is constructed with metal materials, its resistance to damage will be greatly enhanced.  Houses built with steel and aluminium are more durable. However, we should not overlook the importance of non-structural materials either.  For instance, if the roof wears out rapidly and causes water seepage, it may cause damage to other parts of the house.  Therefore, when assessing the durability of a house, the performance of all materials used must be comprehensively considered. The main frame system of our company adopts an earthquake-resistant galvanized steel frame structure system, and the exterior wall system uses fluorocarbon paint custom-made 2.5mm aviation aluminum plates, making our space capsule more solid and durable.

Second, after the framework of the exterior is constructed, a solid foundation is equally important. This involves considering the construction site. Some houses are built on complete basements, while others are built on pile foundations. Regardless of the method chosen, it must ensure rapid soil drainage and maintain density under load to prevent movement and limit water damage over the years.Some methods of absolute locations are for principle only.Consider the local climate before deciding on the location.  It is best to avoid being frequently exposed to places with extreme weather.  For instance, if your home is located in a humid area, apply a waterproof barrier to build your capsule room to prevent water leakage; otherwise, it will have a shorter service life. The quality of the construction is as important as the materials. In addition, it is also crucial to choose a solution that can be installed quickly, is cost-effective and flexible in transportation.  We adopt an efficient and flexible installation plan.  Moreover, our capsule houses are made of durable materials, making them even more sturdy and durable.

But no matter how carefully you design and build your home, if it lacks proper maintenance, it will become useless.  Therefore, it is crucial to develop the habit of maintaining the house regularly.  Appropriate maintenance throughout the year can not only extend the service life of the house according to actual needs, but also effectively prevent water damage, for example, by repainting materials to enhance the protective effect.

Maintenance recommendations to extend service life

Although prefabricated buildings ensure durability, true durability depends not only on it but also on how you maintain it. This will affect its service life. The following is how you can increase durability.

Check for leaks, cracks and insulation problems regularly and replace any damaged parts or elements such as roofs and sides in time.Clean the house regularly to prevent pest growth. Dust and vacuum frequently, use mild non-abrasive cleaning agents, and check for dampness and mold.Ensure good ventilation, keep the air circulating indoors to prevent mold and moisture accumulation.Maintain the exterior wall regularly,this protects the house from rain and sun while keeping it attractive.If your house is built on a pile foundation, it is recommended to check it every five years. In areas where the ground is prone to movement, you may need to replace new shims or adjust metal brackets. This helps keep the house level and reduces safety risks.If you want your modular home to last and look good, consider some smart upgrades. These simple changes will not only ensure the stability of the shell structure, but also reduce energy consumption, thus reducing the financial burden and avoiding potential problems.

Conclusion

In short, the service life of a well-crafted modern capsule house can reach fifty to eighty years, or even longer.  This lifespan length actually depends on the initial construction quality of the house, local climatic conditions and the daily maintenance status.  It is comforting that through continuous maintenance and meticulous upgrades, your house can maintain a long service life.  In the space cabin, we are committed to building sturdy and durable modular houses to provide you with a daily comfortable experience and lasting peace of mind.
