5 Finish and Material Considerations for Your Prefab Container Home

Container homes offer incredible versatility when it comes to home décor options and finishing styles.
The rudimentary design essentially offers a blank canvas for you to decorate in a way that reflects your
unique lifestyle. There are many options when it comes to creating a pleasing surface appearance for
your container home. Consider these 5 finish and material selections when creating your ideal living
space.

Bamboo Panels


Bamboo panels are a fantastic choice for creating a flattering interior wall space. This option strikes a lovely balance of invoking an eco-friendly atmosphere while also displaying a modern aesthetic, resulting in a timeless décor choice that simply won’t go out of style. Available in a spectrum of colors, bamboo panels feature a very subtle wood grain that complements a variety of interior décor. Select a dark, rich tone for a lavish appearance, or try a more blonde color to create a light and airy space.




Modified Wood

If you’re concerned about long-term upkeep of your container home, you may want to consider integrating modified wood into your exterior finishing plans. Exposure to sun, rain, wind, and all other weather phenomena can take a toll on the appearance of your home. Modified wood offers an attractive exterior finish without sacrificing durability. Undergoing an innovative treatment process, modified wood can decrease the visible effects of swelling, warping, and dulling better than traditional paneling. This is great for homeowners who are looking for low-maintenance options.

Roofing Shingles


Another way to jazz up the appearance of a prefab container home is to add roofing shingles. This simple addition can have a huge impact in making your house look more like a home, while also increasing curb appeal. Roofing shingles come in a variety of colors and designs, including laminated and alternatively shaped shingles, so you can personalize the look of your residence. In addition to beautifying your container home, adding roofing shingles also provides an extra layer of protection against the elements, including snow, rain, tree sap collection, and hail. This can be a great investment for the long-term upkeep of the container home.

Hardwood Plywood

If you enjoy the artistry of fine details, you may want to consider integrating hardwood plywood into your interior finishing plans. One of the most versatile materials available, hardwood plywood can be used to finish cabinetry, tabletops, drawer sides, paneling, shelving and more. In addition to rich color options, a variety of veneer, shellac, beaded plywood designs, and flexibility features are also available in selecting the best hardwood plywood to match the details of your home. With a fantastic array of choices, you’re sure to find the perfect complement to your prefab container home.

Hardwood Flooring


The importance of quality flooring is often overlooked when homeowners are establishing the finishing materials for their homes. While other interior design details may steal the spotlight in magazine spreads, having the right flooring that is both durable and beautiful can truly be a game changer in creating a warm, welcoming living space in your prefab container home. A faulty floor does not go unnoticed, so it can be wise to invest in a superior flooring material. Engineered hardwood flooring can outperform other flooring materials by providing a strong foundation fit to handle high foot-traffic while delivering a classic and elegant look. Also, several selections are available in wood stain, grain appearance, and the arrangement of the flooring, providing you the opportunity to create your dream homestead.

If you are invested in creating a truly unforgettable living space in your prefab container home, it is worth the effort to select quality materials for the finishing touches. Integrate these 5 finish and material options when designing your home, and you’re sure to find something that reflects your distinct style.
