For a unique and flexible building material, shipping containers fit the bill. The strong, uniformly sized structure is great for creating all sorts of buildings ranging from tiny houses to massive shipping container mansions or office complexes. The price is right thanks to availability, and the containers are also generally strong and durable. Before you purchase a container for your project in Portsmouth, RI, prepare, plan, and consider all the benefits you’ll enjoy when you buy shipping container panels from InSoFast.
By choosing InSoFast insulation panels, you’ll have access to two different insulating methods that we offer specifically for shipping container transformations. By considering the nature of the corrugation and other features of shipping containers, we have developed panels with features that complement the structure.
The corrugated sides of shipping containers can be challenging, but not for those who choose InSoFast insulation panels. With our InSoFast InSerts, the spaces created by corrugation are filled up with EPS foam sleeves. They’re designed to fill the space completely and create a smooth surface that is level with the corrugated ribs.
This smooth, flat surface serves as a foundation for a layer of InSoFast interior insulation panels. Whether you choose the UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panels, the insulation system will be airtight.
The other method we offer for insulating shipping containers is to apply panels directly to the corrugated ribs. The CX shipping container panel, when applied horizontally, aligns with the vertical studs, and the system will fit together perfectly since the panels follow an 11-inch repeating pattern.
Both of these procedures will include built-in, non-ferrous studs within the panels to supply a frame for your shipping container. Using these strong studs, you can hang drywall and other hanging accessories without worrying about building a separate wooden frame. Since the InSoFast insulation panels are thin, too, you’ll be left with plenty of space within the structure.
Our panels also provide electrical raceways for easier wiring, moisture control channels to mitigate moisture and vapor, and a lightweight and stackable design for easier application.
When insulation is of particular importance, you can also consider the InSoFast PLUS method. You’ll pair a rigid foam board with the interior panels for a cumulative R-value.
InSoFast Insulation Goes in Easily and Effectively
Putting in a system of InSoFast insulation couldn’t be easier. In accordance with the name, In-So-Fast, the process is straightforward. The panels are lightweight and easily stacked, and the only tools required include a caulk gun, Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a utility knife, saw, and a can of spray foam insulation.
The panels go together in a running band pattern via tongue and groove notches for interconnectedness. Each InSoFast panel you apply increases the strength of the wall system, and the application is virtually foolproof.
