The creative transformation of a shipping container into a tiny home is a construction option that’s surging in popularity. To best resolve potential challenges and complete your project in Traverse City, MI quickly and affordably, buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast.
Regardless of the planned purpose for your project, you’ll begin with a steel box. Transforming this metal box into a home means dealing with the lack of energy efficiency, the noise, and the destructive nature of moisture and condensation.
InSoFast injection-molded, closed-cell, EPS foam insulation panels will help you overcome all of these problems while providing the convenience and simplicity that are embraced by hobbyists and professionals alike.
The Shipping Container Options Offered by InSoFast
To become a home or place of business, a shipping container needs to be insulated, and InSoFast, recognizing this need, has designed two options especially for this type of project.
InSoFast CX Shipping Container Panels make the best use of the interior space within the shipping container. With built-in framing and an R-value of 11, each panel is 44x24x2 inches, and the thin profile maximizes the leftover space. This panel also works with an 11” repeating pattern on the wall of the shipping container. When placed horizontally, the studs embedded in the panel will lie vertically for easier application to the wall.
Instead of choosing InSoFast CX panels for shipping container projects, consider InSoFast Container Inserts. Also designed for the shipping container, these sleeves of EPS foam fill the corrugated spaces along the wall. Then pair the resulting flush surface with InSoFast UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panels. The difference will be the degree of insulating power. The UX 2.0 panel has an R-8.5 rating while the EXi 2.5 panel has an R-10 rating, or 20% more energy efficiency.
Most InSoFast panel installations can be completed by do-it-yourselfers with a utility knife, glue and a caulk gun.
InSoFast offers shipping container kits that will make your project simple whether you’re transforming a standard 8-foot ceiling container or a high cube 9-foot design. We can customize your kit to order based upon the container that you’re transforming; just have the dimensions ready when you place your order.
