7 Surprising Advantages of Using New Shipping Containers

Prior to recent decades, the primary function of new shipping containers remained confined to the high seas, transporting cargo from port to port. Due to their extreme durability and design flexibility, these sturdy metal boxes have opened the door for forward-thinking companies, like Absolute Containers, to tap into their potential for innovative land-based applications.

 

How New Shipping Containers are Changing Building Perceptions

 

From mobile clinics to creating your dream home, new shipping containers are slowly transforming how architects and builders look at construction. The dynamic team at Absolute Containers share several innovative container transformations, introducing you to a world of design possibilities.

 

  1. Schools and libraries

Containers have found a place in schools, where space and funds for brick-and-mortar classrooms and libraries are often scarce. The simple addition of flooring, shelving, electrical wiring and colourful paint, among others, converts an ordinary container into a comfortable place where children can learn and grow.

 

  1. Clinics

Whether integrated into existing infrastructure or as stand-alone mobile clinics, containers provide effective and efficient solutions to the medical industry. The mobility of containers makes them the perfect choice for clinics as they can be easily relocated to serve patients in remote areas where medical care is minimal.

 

  1. Sports and leisure facilities

New shipping containers are extremely versatile and can be easily converted into changing rooms, clubhouses and ablution facilities at sports and leisure establishments. A standard six-metre container can comfortably hold two turnstiles and a small office, making them perfect for security at stadium entrances.

 

  1. Eating establishments

Compared to conventional construction methods, containers offer an affordable and on-trend solution for building restaurants, on-the-go coffee shops and sidewalk cafés. Their versatility allows for the creation of these establishments in a wide variety of configurations and architectural styles.

 

  1. Offices

Containers offer a more cost-effective and quick-to-construct building alternative, making them the ideal blank canvasses for offices. By installing insulation, windows, power plugs, air-conditioning and lighting, a container can become a high-quality office space.

 

  1. Studios

Whether one’s artistic flair lies in painting, woodwork or ceramics, containers can be modified to provide the perfect spaces where tools and materials can be kept out of the living room and in a space purely devoted to creativity.

 

  1. Garages

If you have an existing garage that needs expanding or have bought a house that doesn’t have one, converting containers into garages is a trendy and affordable addition to any home.

With a touch of ingenuity, new shipping containers can be used for almost any purpose, even as swimming pools!
