InSoFast Insulation Panels and InSerts for Shipping Container Projects
The experts at InSoFast, LLC understand the demands of a shipping container project. We offer two ways to insulate your shipping container well.
The InSoFast CX container panel is made just for shipping container conversions. The thin dimensions mean that the panels won’t take up much of the living space within the container, and the repeating pattern every 11 inches means that the panels will line up perfectly along the ridges of the corrugation when applied horizontally.
InSoFast InSerts are also made especially for shipping container transformations. These InSerts fill the spaces created by the corrugation, increasing the effectiveness of the layer of InSoFast insulation panels you apply.
A few things you can expect from InSoFast shipping container insulation options include:
- A high R-value of insulation
- Continuous insulation wall system
- Built-in, rot-resistant framing
- Embedded, non-ferrous composite studs
- Built-in moisture control channels
- Build-in electric raceways
- Tools required: saw of some kind, utility knife, caulking gun, and PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive
- Easy application of drywall using embedded studs
Making a Shipping Container a Lifetime Home
A shipping container is a handy material that is readily available for use as a home, church, school or place of business. The reason that they’re so sought after is because of how well-built and strong the structures are.
Standard shipping containers are created from weather-resistant steel. Each steel panel is cut down and corrugated to add strength, and the panels are then welded onto a steel beam. After installing the doors and floor, the unit is then finished with high-quality, saltwater safe paint for even further durability.
Once built, shipping containers are then loaded with products and put on a ship. Designed to be stacked, containers are either 20 or 40 feet long. The container has a lifespan of around a decade and can last another 15! You can take this strength and expand upon it after the container is “retired,” putting it to good use after its shipping life.
Taking a shipping container and putting it to good use is a great way to rescue it from the expensive process of melting the container down for recycling. Without insulation, however, the steel container will be uninhabitable. Protect your project from extreme temperatures and corrosion by using InSoFast insulation methods.
You can order a kit or a customized set of panels. Either way, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels if you anticipate a container transformation in Katy, TX.
