New structures are highly resistant to harsh environmental conditions and corrosion.

China manufacturers of modular houses have come up with new designs that are light yet sturdy against strong winds and earthquakes, and do not get damaged by fire and insects. Some models in the featured selection below resist up to 210kph wind and grade 8 earthquakes.

Besides resistance to harsh environmental conditions, some designs are also strengthened against corrosion, which is critical given that many are made of steel. There are homes that are insulated or energy-efficient as well.

The houses are also versatile. Shipping container types can be stacked and combined vertically with other units. Other releases are minimalistic but can still be customized with different colors and graphics.

The products in this gallery were selected by our China-based Market Analyst for representing the current trends in modular houses.
