An interesting twist on home and office construction comes by using shipping container units as the bones of the build. Reasons for choosing this method range from a need for fast completion and a limited budget to the desire to limit the carbon footprint of the build and the lifestyle lived within it. To ensure that the structure you design is durable, comfortable, and dry, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels and have them shipped to your project site in Connecticut.
Items to Consider While Planning
Before beginning your shipping container project, you’ll need to establish a location for your build, research any applicable codes or regulations, purchase a quality, rust-free container, and create a design plan to game out your entire build. Following these steps will keep unpleasant surprises from interfering with the process.
CX 44 Shipping Container Insulation Panels
The CX 44 panel fits along the side walls of shipping containers in an 11” repeating pattern. The 44” long, 24” wide, and 2” thick panels should be installed horizontally so that the built-in studs line up against the ribs. These panels create a system of insulation with an R-value of 11.
Side Wall and End Wall InSerts
InSoFast InSerts work with the corrugation of the shipping container. Designed as a sleeve of EPS foam, InSerts fill up the empty recessed spaces and create a flush surface. On this surface, builders should install a wall system of either UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panels. The UX panel is the base option, and the EXi 2.5 series is 20% stronger than the UX series.
CX-LP LowPro Embedded Studs
The newest star in the InSoFast insulation lineup is the CX-LP LowPro Embedded Stud. This product provides the insulated, strong stud found within our panels without the bulk of the panel. This design makes the product cheaper, but it’s most appropriate for exterior use or for storage buildings where services won’t be installed because the raceways found on our panels won’t be available. The studs are used along with InSerts and any rigid foam board.
Benefits of Choosing InSoFast Products for the Shipping Container Build:
- Systems include rot-resistant frame
- Panels offer raceways for running electricity
- Built-in moisture control channels wick away moisture from the wall
- Airtight systems of continuous insulation outperform other methods of insulation
- Installation is unambiguous and simple, requiring only a utility knife, saw, caulking gun, construction adhesive, and a can of spray foam insulation
