Shipping containers are typically reused and re-purposed for commercial or residential uses.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This is because cargo containers are high grade, with a durable steel exterior. It being able to be stacked on top of one another also make them space efficient. They are also a more sustainable choice for storage and residential spaces. For instance, after 10 to 12 years, the shipping container is converted into a storage container or a temporary cold room for reefer containers or converted in an office or toilet containers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A shipping container lifespan depends on how the container is kept and where it is kept. If it were stored in wetter, saltier climates, especially if the paint were to wear off, rust will develop which can potentially lead to long term structural problems. However, if it were not in heavy use, shipping containers can last between 25-30 years without any <a href=\"https:\/\/confoot.fi\/shipping-containers-last-average-lifespan\/\"><span class=\"s2\">maintenance<\/span><\/a>. Homeowners who repurpose shipping containers which are well treated and made for use in construction even say that containers can last well over 50 years.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Different Uses of Shipping Containers<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Shipping containers are commonly used for the following ways after being repurposed for both residential and commercial use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><\/b><span class=\"s3\"><b>1) Refrigerated storage units<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Reefer containers are temperature controlled portable shipping containers. They are used for inter-modal freight transportation. As its name suggests, they can carry temperature sensitive items, mainly perishables across the sea. However, reefer containers are increasingly needed even in the business and household setting. This is because reefer containers can either keep perishable items warm or cool and can control a wide range of temperatures, which make them become increasingly in demand. Also, reefer containers enable versatile airflow throughout the container so that the items inside are kept at their ideal temperature to keep them warm, frozen or chilled. They are even available for rent for commercial and residential needs such as for wholesalers, manufacturers who need to ship perishable goods long distances, healthcare facilities to store medicines and vaccines, retail shops who sell items that require climate-controlled environments like plants, and more.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><\/b><span class=\"s3\"><b>2) Commercial or Residential Storage<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Cargo containers can be transformed into a storage container for businesses that need extra spaces for limited periods of time and come in a variety of sizes. They can be customised according to the needs of the business, such as by adding doors, flooring, locking mechanisms, wheels for transportability, shelving and additional storage if needed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1767350914\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:72%;\">\r\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-1088x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"container house, container home, shipping container house, container house for sale\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-1088x800.jpg 1088w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-510x375.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-544x400.jpg 544w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-1536x1129.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.osgcontainers.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/customisation-2048x1505.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style scope=\"scope\">\n\n#image_1767350914 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<h3><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>3) Offices<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Shipping container offices are versatile and sustainable.
