Living sustainably is more than lip service for those who choose to build habitations out of abandoned shipping containers. By pairing the sturdy structure with protective insulation, you can create a durable and comfortable home, gym, office, classroom, or other structure. Buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast for your eco-friendly dream build in Ferndale, WA, or elsewhere in the US.
All you’ll need to insulate and frame your container is a free weekend, a stack of our panels, and a utility knife, a saw, a caulk gun, and a few tubes of construction adhesive.
Shipping Containers’ Special Need for Insulation
Insulation is known to be a construction essential, but the need is never more significant than with shipping containers. Steel structures face specific challenges related to their construction, namely extreme heat and cold, condensation, and noise. Each of these problems finds its resolution with an innovative product -InSoFast insulation panels.
Stifle the Noise
Poorly insulated shipping containers will be noisy places to live, work, or learn. InSoFast insulation products can minimize the noise and create a quiet environment.
Stabilize Temperatures
Another problem with attempting to live in an uninsulated shipping container is the amplified heat and cold. Having a home that’s either a hot box or a freezer is a dealbreaker, but InSoFast insulation panels can resolve all of the problems by preventing thermal energy loss.
Minimize Moisture and Condensation
Water can destroy the integrity of your shipping container. Most are painted with saltwater resistant paint, and homeowners should be sure to keep this protection updated. Preventing condensation on the inside, behind insulation is also critical.
Condensation can occur when shipping containers aren’t insulated well. The conflicting temperatures between the inside and the outside results in moisture on the surface of the metal.
If you choose traditional fiberglass insulation instead of our panels, the result will be moisture, mold, mildew, and corroded metal. Inhabitants may have respiratory problems, and the structure will lose structural integrity over time.
Expanded Polystyrene foam (EPS), like that comprising InSoFast insulation panels, is a non-porous, closed-cell, and injection-molded product that’s sure to protect your shipping container project from moisture, noise, and temperature fluctuations.
The panels are twice as strong as those made with open-cell technology, and water and vapor can’t permeate the material. Furthermore, the material won’t degrade or release toxins as time goes by.
