What about rust and corrosion? Won't a metal shipping container rust quite easily?
No. Most Shipping Containers are used for ocean shipping, humidity and saltwater. A shipping container is a special, non corrosive Corten steel; then, when coated with the Ceramic Insulation paint, it becomes virtually rust proof and also prevents mildew, mold and is highly antiseptic.
I read that shipping container homes or offices are Hurricane proof. Is that true?
Yes, either single units or multiple units connected, can withstand 100mph winds on a foundation, or 175mph winds when easily anchored with pylons. ...extremely solid in tornados or hurricanes.
Aren't shipping containers just hot ovens when they are used for homes or offices?
Absolutely not! The reality is, that the new Ceramic spray insulation is most effective when applied to metal. In fact, if you build using Ceramic Insulation paint (spray) the structure will probably be more energy efficient than a conventional home.
