2) Main Structure of a Capsule House
The structural design of a capsule home prioritizes strength, safety, and durability. Its architectural design enables it to withstand the effects of extreme climates, thus enhancing the comfort and reliability of the building in the long run. Let’s have a look at the options available:
i) Galvanized Steel Frame Structure
The capsule house rests on a solid steel framework of 100×100×3 HDG plates that have been hot-dipped. This material is welded together according to a specified configuration so that it can provide enhanced shock absorption. Such a design principle enables you to build capsule houses in a region anywhere close to seismic activity without any safety issues.
ii) Aviation-Grade Aluminum Panels
Aviation-grade( used to make aircraft) aluminium panels put great emphasis on product quality and as a result, are predominantly used in the aerospace sector. These panels not only enable the building to control long-term wear and tear but also improve the frontal facade. So that it can withstand harsh weather conditions while providing the structural support needed over the years.
iii) Polyurethane Panel Insulation
In order to insulate the capsule houses, polyurethane insulation boards are used that are about 8 to 10 centimetres thick and this allows for the homes to feel comfortable. They also make sure cool air stays inside during hot summer months and thus help in lowering energy bills by being more efficient.
Also, the insulation panels are waterproof, soundproof, airtight and flame retardant which not only provides you a peaceful environment but also a safe one.
iv) Aluminum Alloy Customized Door
The doors of capsule houses are made from aircraft aluminium and the edges of the door frames have also been made carefully so the doors fit perfectly. With these features, the door can prevent dust, heat, rain and sound from entering inside the house.
v) Intelligent Access Control
Another feature that greatly improves and protects capsule houses is that they come with a smart access control system embedded in them. The entry point of the capsule house comes with a smart panel which is button-controlled as well as an AI card insertion power system. It advances security and enhances the convenience of access to your home. With these great technologies, access to your home is easy and more secure.
vi) Panoramic Wall Curtain Glass
The walls of the capsule houses mainly include large triple-layered glass( 6+12+6 ) which is best for design purposes as well as for creating a more modern feel. The walls make the capsule houses look bright since they let in more sunlight and heat.
