As a medium for construction, shipping containers work well. They’re strong, uniform, and cheap, so project-motivated builders often choose them when building homes, emergency shelters, classrooms, and many other functional spaces. Fortunately, you can overcome the majority of obstacles to a successful build by choosing to buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels and having them shipped to your project site in Kentucky or elsewhere.
The Challenges Shipping Containers Face
The challenge to transforming shipping containers stems from its composition being metal. A natural conductor, steel loses thermal energy readily. The interior temperatures will fluctuate wildly, condensation will occur regularly, and amplified noise will be a given unless adequate insulation is installed. InSoFast insulation products can provide the perfect solution to each and every one of these challenges.
InSoFast insulation products are easy to transport, stack and install. They can be stacked, and they’re not heavy. Further, you don’t need to have a great deal of construction know-how or a stash of special gear. With a supply of our products, construction adhesive, a caulking gun, a utility knife, a saw, and canned spray foam insulation, you’ll be fully prepared for the insulation process.
InSoFast CX44 Shipping Container Panels
Designed specifically for the corrugated walls common to shipping containers, InSoFast CX44 insulation panels are a uniform 44”x24” with a 2” slim profile. They require little of the limited space within the unit and have two embedded, non-ferrous studs to support the panel as well as attached drywall and cabinetry.
InSoFast InSerts for Side Walls, End Walls, and Ceilings
Another line of products made for use with shipping containers is the InSoFast InSert. Specific sleeves of EPS foam slide into the empty corrugated spaces where they’re affixed with construction adhesive and leave a flat, smooth surface. These products then require that a wall system of interior insulation follows.
InSoFast CX-LP Low-Pro Embedded Studs
Shipping container projects that don’t require services benefit from the affordability and support provided by the CX-LP studs. These EPS embedded, non-conductive, polypropylene studs are as strong as 20-gauge steel studs and are meant to be applied to the ridges of corrugation. Appropriate InSerts should fill the recesses, and your choice of rigid foam board will fill the space between studs. This system is cheaper but will lack the service and drainage channels built into the other InSoFast products.
