Are you planning to make an investment in building a storage building, camp house, vacation cabin, office, home, church, classroom, pop-up retail or restaurant space, concession stand, or any other structure? If so, consider how a shipping container can be upcycled to meet your needs with a unique, affordable, and fast approach. InSoFast insulation products provide excellent options for insulating the interior and exterior of your shipping container project.
Transforming a steel shipping container into a habitable and usable space requires strong insulation like that provided by InSoFast insulation panels made from high-density, closed-cell, injection-molded Expanded Polystyrene foam. Our panels are non-porous and protect from thermal energy loss and moisture seepage through systems of continuous insulation. They’re also incredible easy to install while leaving more interior room and requiring a small portion of your budget.
InSoFast insulation product installations don’t require specialized tools or skills. With a few free days, you can install this insulation yourself with only a utility knife, saw of some kind, supply of Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a caulking gun, and a can of spray foam insulation.
Whether you need to install insulation on the exterior or interior, or on floors, walls, or ceilings, InSoFast insulation panels are appropriate.

Shipping containers are made to be strong and durable. Unfortunately, they’re often abandoned after a few years and left to degrade in the weather. Recycling these containers can be expensive, so upcycling them can be a great alternative to letting them languish in a shipyard.
The vulnerabilities of shipping containers come from the lack of appropriate insulation. Uncontrolled temperature extremes, destructive condensation and moisture, and even amplified noises will make all of your shipping container plans short-lived without a well thought out insulating system. InSoFast insulation products are the answer to all of these issues.
