Key Characteristics of Folding Houses
Ultra-compact foldability：Folds into a small volume(1/5–1/10 of the unfolded size)for easy transport(by truck/van)and space-saving storage,no large equipment needed for folding/unfolding.
Rapid on-site assembly：Deployable in 30 mins to a few hours by 2–3 people;hinges,telescopic braces and self-locking structures eliminate complex construction,achieving"unfold and use".
Lightweight yet stable：Mainly made of aluminum alloy/light steel+fireproof/insulated panels;the unfolded frame forms a rigid support system,resistant to light wind/rain for temporary use.
Cost-effective&low maintenance：Simpler structure than modular/container houses,lower production/transport/installation costs;detachable parts make daily maintenance and replacement easy.
Basic functional scalability：Comes with standard insulation,waterproofing and ventilation;can be customized with simple fittings(lighting,sockets,simple furniture)for temporary living/working,no complex renovation possible.
High mobility：Light overall weight and foldable design enable repeated disassembly,folding and relocation,suitable for temporary and mobile scenarios(no fixed foundation required).
