Frugal home seekers, budget-stretched school boards, and even environmentally aware preppers around Bakersfield, CA, may seek a shipping container to transform into living, working, or learning space. If you have plans like these, the intent to buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels should be top of the list. Anyone will find this quality insulation easy to install, whether he or she is a novice or a professional contractor.
Every insulation product that we produce consists of Expanded Polystyrene foam panels. The EPS foam is closed-cell and injection-molded, producing double the insulating strength per square inch versus open cell insulation technology. This strength, combined with the continuous coverage of insulation via systems that our panels create and the lack of thermal bridges, allows our products to provide incredibly effective protection of thermal stability.
InSoFast Shipping Container Panel CX 44
For shipping container projects, InSoFast CX 44 insulation panels will line up directly against the ribbed columns along the side walls of a shipping container. The panels are 44×24” with a 2” depth. The thin profile lets you preserve more of the limited available space within the container, and each panel has two embedded studs to take the place of a wooden frame and provide a place of purchase for installation with construction adhesive.
InSoFast Shipping Container InSerts with Interior Insulation Panels
The second option for applying insulation to a shipping container is to pair InSoFast InSerts with a following layer of interior insulation. The InSerts, when applied within the corrugated space, will result in a flush surface. Then, you’ll apply either the UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panels for an airtight, maximized system of continuous insulation. Both options include non-ferrous studs and electrical raceways, but the EXi 2.5 panel is 20% stronger and ½” thicker.
InSoFast CX LowPro Insulated Studs, InSerts, and Rigid Foam Boards
To save room and money in shipping, InSoFast CX LowPro Insulated Studs provide the materials for framing without taking up space or causing thermal bridges as a wooden frame would. The InSerts then fill up the empty spaces, and you layer it with a rigid foam board of your choice. This option is less expensive, but it lacks the raceways for running services. If you plan to run electric, the shipping container panel is still the better choice.
The product you choose will depend on how you plan to use your structure, the climate where you live, and the budget that you have.
