- Integrated Glass Windows: Includes factory-fitted glass windows to allow natural light into the interior space.
- Double-Swing Doors: Features standard container doors at one end with locking bars for secure closure.
- Ventilated Design: Passive ventilation louvres are integrated to promote air circulation and help reduce condensation.

Detailed Description
The 20ft Shipping Container with Glass Windows is a modification of a standard ISO shipping container, designed to provide a secure and well-lit enclosed space. Its structure is built from corrugated weathering steel, commonly known as COR-TEN steel. This material is selected for its durability and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
One or more glass windows are integrated into the sidewalls during the modification process. These windows are set within the steel structure to provide a source of natural daylight while maintaining the overall integrity of the container structure. This can help reduce the need for artificial lighting during daytime use.
The container retains its original double-swing doors at one end, fitted with heavy-duty locking rods to help secure the contents. The exterior is finished with a protective coating applied over a prepared steel surface.
Passive ventilation louvres are typically included to support airflow and help manage interior moisture and temperature. As a result, this unit provides a practical solution for applications requiring a robust, lockable structure with natural light.
