Whether you’re an ecologically-minded house hunter or a budget-motivated business owner in Nevada, shipping containers provide a strong unit in which any number of useful spaces can be built. To provide the resulting structure with a long life and comfortable interior, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels. Keep reading to learn how our insulation products can help you perfect your shipping container design.
Worry-Free Energy Efficiency
Protecting your home from losing thermal energy will keep utility bills low and comfort levels high. Our shipping container panels, the CX 44 line, have an R-11 resistance to energy loss. These panels aren’t porous, being made from closed-cell EPS foam. The systems of continuous insulation created from these panels will be a tightly constructed insulation wall, enhancing the function of the panels further.
To design a system of continuous insulation, we’ve included strong studs within our insulation panels. Regular wooden frame/fiberglass insulation designs cause thermal bridges at every stud location, but InSoFast shipping container insulation panels don’t since the studs are non-ferrous and sheathed deeply within the insulation.
Strong, Insulated, and Rot-Resistant Frame Provided
The polypropylene studs encased within the insulation panels are strong. They provide purchase for up to 250 pounds of weight each, so they create an excellent frame alternative upon which drywall can be hung, not to mention cabinets, shelving, flatscreens, or other mounted accessories. Our panels even feature indicator lines for straightforward application of finishing products and accessories.
Electric Raceways Simplify Wiring
Running services to your shipping container will clearly be another step in your construction process if you plan to live, work, or perform other activities within the unit beyond storage. The shipping container panel we offer includes raceways that run from side to side and up and down, and the foam is easily modified with a utility knife. These two factors alone should make any electric circuitry design much easier to install.
Eliminate Problems Related to Condensation and Moisture
Moisture is a true enemy of shipping container homes. Metal is subject to rust as well as prime real estate for condensation that creates water. This moisture in addition to the regular humidity caused by daily living stands to cause long term damage to shipping containers. InSoFast insulation panels will keep the metal from sweating; the drainage channels will wick any moisture away from the walls; and the panels’ non-porous quality will keep moisture from permeating the insulation wall.
Other insulation products will welcome mold and pests, but InSoFast insulation is inorganic and non-porous. Mold, mildew, bugs, and rodents won’t feel at home with this insulation design.
DIY-Level Ready
We bank on homeowners, DIY builders, and professional contractors appreciating the ease and speed that come with an InSoFast insulation process. The panels connect to one another in a straightforward, interlocking fashion via tongue-and-groove notches. Builders apply them to the wall itself with Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive.
To complete the project, builders should have a ready supply of construction adhesive, a caulking gun, a utility knife to cut the foam, a saw of some kind to adjust the panel size through the studs, and a can of spray foam insulation for final sealing of tiny gaps and edges. The build will flow naturally, starting at one corner and working across and then up. The insulation system’s strength will rise with each additional panel applied.
If you’ve been struck by the spark of solving your space problems in Nevada with an environmentally and budget friendly solution, a shipping container outfitted with InSoFast insulation panels can produce an outstanding home, office, classroom, clinic, or other facility on a short timeline and with a limited budget.
