If you’ve thought about transforming a shipping container into a home, vacation cabin, office, café or workshop but worry about insulation, look no further than InSoFast.
InSoFast, LLC has provided superior quality products since 2006. Our EPS foam insulated container panels are ideal for do-it-yourselfers because they are lightweight, can be easily cut and installed on your site, and require no special safety gear to handle.
Why Insulate a Shipping Container?
Building with shipping containers is a relatively new construction approach, but the trend is growing. Homeowners use them to build homes of all shapes and sizes to enjoy lower construction and maintenance costs. They can also be used for commercial offices, retail spaces and store fronts.
Shipping containers, however, were never designed for habitation by humans. Made of steel, they are susceptible to condensation that can cause mold and corrosion and shorten the container’s usable life. The interiors of these metal boxes can also become too hot, too cold and too noisy.
Traditional insulation methods will lead to problems in a shipping container. Water vapor can travel through traditionally framed walls like water through a screen door in a submarine.
InSoFast panels are the easy way to turn cold, corrugated steel containers into cozy and safe dwellings or business establishments, keeping them comfortable, dry, quiet, and in good condition.
The InSoFast Solution
InSoFast CX Container Panels are designed for the side walls of most shipping containers and take the hassle out of insulating and framing. Their thin profile takes up only two inches of interior space. One of the biggest benefits is that most installations can be completed by do-it-yourselfers with a utility knife, glue and a caulk gun.
The 44” x 24” panels fit the width between the weld seams on the long side walls of the container and are set up for an 11-inch repeating pattern of corrugation. They are installed horizontally with the studs running vertically to allow the studs to adhere to the interior facing ribs of the container.
The features of CX Container Panels and Inserts include:
- R-11 wall panel
- Designed to fit containers
- Built-in framing
- Integrated composite studs
- Built in electrical raceways
- Continuous insulation
- Controls condensation behind drywall
- No special tools required
- Can be affixed with adhesive
- Save space, time and energy

To achieve maximum insulation and air-tightness, combine our specifically shaped InSoFast InSerts for side walls, end walls and ceiling with InSoFast UX 2.0 or InSoFast EXi 2.5 panels. The combination will provide a smooth backing for drywall and other wall finishes and fill all of the hidden airspace behind the drywall with solid closed cell foam.
