IICL 6 Quality – Guarantee of Perfect Condition

The IICL 6 designation means the highest standard among both used and new containers. It is an international certification issued by the Institute of International Container Lessors, which guarantees that the container has passed a strict inspection and meets strict criteria. In practice, this means that the container is free of dents, cracks, corrosion, or any damage that would affect its functionality. IICL 6 is the grade commonly used for maritime transport of goods, and for new units it guarantees a container practically without any signs of use – completely new, ready for immediate deployment. For your purposes this means absolute reliability, airtightness, and watertightness. This is why these new shipping containers are the perfect starting point not only for logistics, but also for architectural conversions where any defect is unacceptable.

RAL 7016 Color – Anthracite Elegance

The container is painted in RAL 7016, known as anthracite grey. This deep, dark grey color looks exceptionally sophisticated and modern. In the context of shipping containers, it is an above-standard color finish that goes beyond the traditional shades of marine blue or rusty brown. RAL 7016 is popular with architects and designers because it easily fits into both industrial and minimalist styles, visually reduces the mass of the building, and gives it a touch of luxury. The color is baked in powder coating, so it resists weathering, UV radiation, and mechanical abrasion. The anthracite container will become a distinctive element of your building, whether you build a family house, office, or garden studio from it.

Container House Conversion: Modern Housing with Added Value

New High Cube shipping containers in IICL 6 quality are the perfect material for building original and at the same time practical housing. Let’s look at all the aspects why this path is worth taking.

Conversion and Use Options

New shipping containers can be transformed into a detached house, weekend cottage, garden house, studio, office, commercial stand, or mobile café. You can build a simple bungalow, or assemble multiple containers into a complex villa. The interior offers flexible space where windows, doors can be cut without restrictions or individual boxes can be connected. After insulation, installation of floors, electricity, water, and sewage distribution, a full-fledged living space is created comparable to a classic building.

Who Is the Container House Suitable For

This type of housing appeals to individuals, couples, and families looking for a quick, cost-effective, and design-distinctive solution. It is ideal for young people who want to live without a mortgage, for ecology enthusiasts, for artists needing a studio, or for landowners who want to reclaim a difficult-to-access plot. It is also very popular among business owners as a representative office or showroom.

Where a Container House Is Suitable

Thanks to its compactness and durability, it is suitable almost anywhere – in the garden, at the edge of the forest, in the mountains, by the water, but also in urban areas where it brings a fresh industrial touch. There is no need to build complex foundations; a hardened surface or concrete strips are sufficient. A container house can be placed even in places where classic construction would encounter a building ban or difficult terrain.

Advantages of Building with Containers

• Speed: after a prepared project and zoning approval, construction can take weeks, not months.
• Ecology: by recycling shipping containers, you give new life to material that would otherwise remain unused. A new container also has a minimal ecological footprint.
• Durability: Corten steel construction withstands extreme weather, fire, earthquakes, and burglary.
• Price: compared to a classic masonry building, you save on materials and labor.
• Variability: the container can be expanded in the future by adding additional modules.
• Design: industrial look with anthracite lacquer is an architectural statement in itself.

Mobility – Housing That Can Move

One of the biggest assets is mobility. A container house is not permanently tied to the land; it can be loaded onto a low-loader and transported to another location. You will appreciate this if you are moving for work, or if you want to move your cottage to the lake instead of the forest. After minor chassis modifications, it can also serve as a permanent residential vehicle.

Recommendations and Ideas for Your Project

Before you start the conversion, we recommend consulting the project with an architect who has experience with container buildings. Think about quality insulation (e.g. sprayed polyurethane foam) so that the house meets Czech standards for passive housing. In the design, take advantage of the full High Cube height – it offers space for a mezzanine floor or raised ceiling. An interesting idea is a glazed entire front wall, which visually enlarges the interior and connects it with the surroundings. You can combine two containers stacked on top of each other and connected by a spiral staircase, or place them side by side to create an atrium. Anthracite color contrasts beautifully with wood, stone, or greenery – use this for terraces and garden modifications. Don’t forget smart connectivity: the container can be easily equipped with solar panels, heat pump, or air recuperation.

Free Transport to Vlašim and Throughout the Czech Republic

Part of our offer is free container transport right to you – whether you live in Vlašim or anywhere else in the Czech Republic. Loading the container at the depot is included in the price, so you don’t have to worry about anything. For unloading at the site, it is necessary to arrange a crane, because the weight of the container does not allow manual handling. The customer orders the crane separately according to their possibilities. If you need transport outside the Czech Republic, we will gladly prepare an individual offer according to the specific location.
