The shipping container project bug is contagious! If you’ve caught the bug, you should know that the project is not without obstacles. Building with a shipping container does come with strength, but you’ll also face a higher demand for thermal regulation, condensation limitation, and noise reduction. Before you begin your project in Garland, TX, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels to resolve these problems while gaining the benefit of easier framing and wiring.
Promote Thermal Stability with Quality Insulation
Making sure that your shipping container home remains at stable temperatures is absolutely essential for using the container as a habitation. This factor will also provide an avenue for lower utility costs, muffled noise, and mitigated water condensation.
InSoFast CX 44 shipping container panels will work for your project as an effective insulation. The panels aren’t porous, and the system of insulation created by tightly connected panels is continuous. The R-value of the insulation is 11 and is buildable if necessary.
Versatility and Additional Benefits of Choosing InSoFast Insulation Panels
Includes a Built-in, Strong, Non-Conductive Frame – A shipping container comes with limited usable space. Making the most of this structure comes with the 2” slim profile of InSoFast shipping container insulation panels because the panels include embedded, non-ferrous studs every 16” o.c. These studs are strong. They can sustain a minimum of 250 pounds each, easily supporting drywall as well as televisions, shelves, or cabinets.
Facilitates Electric Service Installation – Putting in electricity to your shipping container will likely be required if you plan to live in it. Running the necessary wiring is easier when you use InSoFast shipping container insulation panels. The design includes raceways that run horizontally and vertically for this purpose. The foam can be cut with a utility knife to accommodate outlet boxes as well, so this insulation system is ideal for a convenient circuitry installation.
Limits the Destructive Nature of Condensation and Vapor – Moisture on metal leads to rust and corrosion, so it’s best avoided with shipping container homes. Quality insulation like InSoFast insulation panels provide will lessen the occurrence of condensation, but some humidity and vapor come with daily activities like cooking, showering, and even breathing. Our panels include drainage channels that will redirect moisture away from the walls to prevent corrosion.
User-Friendly InSoFast Insulation Application – Insulation installed in a shipping container is easier when you choose our products. Each panel connects to the next with notched edges, so the connection is tight. The tools you’ll need are limited to Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a caulking gun, a saw of some sort, a utility knife, and a can of spray foam insulation. The system of insulation will be strong and go together easily and quickly. Ordering is even simple. We offer shipping container kits for both standard and customized measurements.
Constructing a home from a shipping container might seem like a crazy idea. However, it’s not only feasible but affordable and environmentally friendly.
