Whether you’re planning a creative take on a permanent home or looking into building a temporary shelter, classroom, or church space, transformations of shipping containers into habitations is an eco-friendly solution to both the need for space and the problem of abandoned shipping containers. One key to making the project easier and faster is to buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast, LLC. We’ll make your shipping container home livable despite the heat of a Tampa, FL, summer.
Taking a shipping container and setting up house immediately isn’t possible. In order to live in a shipping container-turned-home, you’ll need to deal with a few issues, primarily temperature extremes, corrosion-causing condensation, and amplified noise.
Back in 2006, InSoFast, LLC began offering insulation that was revolutionary in both its quality as well as the speed and convenience of installation. Our systems of continuous insulation quickly became popular among DIYers and homeowners as well as contractors.
Using InSoFast insulation panels for your shipping container conversion solves all of the primary problems related to shipping container living, and we offer two different methods for creating a wall system of continuous insulation inside of a container.
The CX 44 Insulation Panel System for Shipping Container Transformations
InSoFast CX 44 Insulation Panel follows an 11-inch repeating pattern to fit perfectly against the corrugated ridge of a shipping container. The panel is thin and includes a frame with embedded studs that saves space inside the container.
Each of the panels is 44x24x2 inches and requires a horizontal application for the studs to line up correctly. The embedded frame, built-in raceways, and moisture control channels offer protection for the structure and facilitation of other construction processes. The panel system provides an R-11 level of insulation overall.
The InSoFast InSert Option Paired with UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 Insulation Panels
An even tighter continuous insulation system occurs when you pair InSoFast InSerts with InSoFast insulation panels. The InSerts will fill up the room in the corrugated spaces of the shipping container, and you’ll have a flat surface upon which to layer the insulation panels when done.
You can choose the series of panel you want, either InSoFast UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5, depending on the features and level of insulation desired.
