    EXTERIOR CLADDING

    Shipping containers are built from corten steel primarily for its exceptional resistance to atmospheric corrosion and its durability under harsh environment.

    At Sonic Steel, we enhance this even further by using high-performance, marine-grade paint for your container home’ exteriors. This paint is chosen for its exceptional durability, UV resistance, and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. It forms a tough, protective layer that resists chipping, cracking, and peeling, ensuring long-lasting protection and appearance. Additionally, it provides a smooth, glossy finish available in various colors, allowing for customisation. The paint’s weather resistance helps prevent rust and corrosion, making it ideal for the metal surfaces of container homes. Overall, this choice ensures the homes remain aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound over time.

    We can also use exterior cladding to provide features to the exterior of your container home.
