Converting a shipping container into a home, office, or project space is a popular Do-It-Yourself project, so user-friendly products are exceptionally important. InSoFast insulation panels for shipping container houses allow everyone to complete this step of the project without regard to skill level.
When InSoFast, LLC, was founded in 2006, we marketed our insulation panels as commercial-grade energy efficiency solutions, which they are. However, they also provide easy installation and versatile use in addition to highly effective insulation. With a little extra time, a stack of panels, and a few simple tools, your insulation installation will be complete. The short list of tools required includes a utility knife, a saw of some kind, Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, and a caulking gun.
The EPS Construction
The Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS) that makes up our panels is a closed-cell, injection-molded insulating material that perfectly suits the application and offers double the insulating power of open-cell insulation technology. The material is non-porous, preventing vapor and air from permeating the coverage.
InSoFast insulation panels do not decompose or release toxins like CFCs or HCFCs, nor do they provide a refuge or nourishment for pests. Unlike other forms of insulation that settle over time, InSoFast insulation panels are physically and chemically stable.
InSoFast insulation panels share a few appealing features:
- Convenient installation
- Standard size, lightweight, and stackable
- Moisture control channels
- Embedded, non-ferrous studs for rot-resistant framing
The Right Insulation for Container Home Transformations
InSoFast insulation panels come in a few different product lines engineered for shipping container projects.
The CX container panel lines up along the containers’ side walls. The 2” depth of the panel leaves more room within the container, and the embedded rot-resistant frame takes the place of a bulky wooden frame. The 44”x24” panel, when installed horizontally, follows a design that repeats every 11”.
Another InSoFast product line of insulation for shipping containers is the InSert. InSoFast InSert products come in three different products – for side walls, end walls, and ceilings – for shipping containers.
The InSerts slide into the open spaces of the corrugation, creating a flush surface upon which one of our interior insulation panels should follow. This design leaves no empty space behind the insulation system.
For homes that don’t require electrical works, the CX-LP Low-Pro Embedded Stud from InSoFast is a great product. It provides the insulated rot-resistant frame that InSoFast insulation panels provide without the bulk of the entire panel. Installation will require InSoFast InSerts along with the rigid foam board of your choice for a less expensive design. This option is more economical so long as sacrificing the electric raceways and moisture control channels doesn’t lessen the comfort and durability of your project.
If you prefer the tangibility of seeing and feeling products before making a purchase, why not order a shipping container sample kit from InSoFast, LLC? You’ll be able to see the lightweight, standard size of the units, and when you order a project’s full supply, we refund your money.
InSoFast, LLC, manufactures patented and patent-pending insulation products and delivers them directly from factories in Massachusetts, Idaho, and Minnesota to project sites within the continental US.
