Key modifications and features
The Structural Improvements
Commercial-grade doors
Commercial-grade steel entry doors are a worthy inclusion in your container modifications. These are durable doors and, aside from being both secure and robust, improve access to your new space immeasurably.
Depending on the type of shipping container, you could choose to keep the end doors operable. This would allow for additional access points and flexible configurations.
Insulation
With insulated floors and ceilings, as well as SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) walls, your container will be ready for whatever the climate throws at it.
These modifications comply with national construction standards and will minimise thermal loss and reduce noise for your container.
Functional Enhancements
Power Solutions
You can have us install power points where they're needed for the most convenient use of your devices and equipment in your container.
For seamless connection to external electrical sources, you can also add an external inlet socket.
We ensure compliance and safety with all our container electrical work meeting AS/NZS 3000:2018 standards.
Air Conditioning
For office spaces and lunch room use, you can enjoy comfortable interior temperatures by equipping your container with reverse-cycle air conditioning.
LED Lighting
LED lights are recommended for illumination inside and outside of your container. It’s efficient for all uses and environments.
External LED lighting provides visibility and safety outside, while LEDs inside make for bright, functional workspaces and living areas.
Interior Designs
Flooring
For most container applications, from workshops to hospitality setups, heavy-duty vinyl flooring is the popular choice. This durable flooring option is anti-slip and easy to clean.
Please get in touch and talk to us about our flooring options, if you'd prefer an alternative to vinyl.
Layouts
The internal layout of your container is up to you. You could include a kitchen, mesh shelving units, work benches, industrial drawers, cabinets, and much much more — as you like it.
Designing the interior is all about flexible options and maximising functionality. Our container modification technicians are well-versed in completing layouts to suit the needs of private and business clients, as well as government entities.
Specialty Options
Windows and Shutters
Include framed windows in your container modification to take advantage of natural light. Optional flyscreens will keep the bugs out.
Add security grills or roller shutters for enhanced security to protect your container’s contents.
Kitchens fully equipped
A perfect demonstration of shipping container modification versatility is our expertise in installing fully equipped kitchens for hospitality and industrial purposes.
Stainless steel kitchen benches, sinks and washbasins. You choose. Add an option for external connection and you're ready to go.
Cyclonic compliance
Your container can have reinforced structures and concrete footings that comply with Region D cyclonic standards. This means safety, durability and peace of mind in extreme weather conditions.
