When the need for space calls for creative solutions, a shipping container can provide the perfect base structure to meet your needs. InSoFast insulation panels are the best insulation for creating a shipping container home, classroom, office, or other space. They’re effective, versatile, easy to install, and, above all, affordable.
Engineered continuous insulation created via InSoFast interlocking panels promotes thermal stability. Our panels are made of closed-cell, injection-molded Expanded Polystyrene foam to prevent loss of climate-controlled air or the flow of moisture or vapor through the panels.
When we first began producing our unique, effective, and affordable insulation products in 2006, we assumed that the commercial construction market would be our primary demographic; however, the simplicity of the product along with its effectiveness has inspired a surge of popularity among DIYers.
We design and produce our panels right here in America at facilities in South Dakota, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Idaho. In fact, we offer free shipping to destinations within the continental United States.
The magic of InSoFast insulation products is more than their effectiveness. The versatility of the panels allows for insulation of any flat surface, indoors and outdoors. For shipping containers, this translates to an easier build with a resulting comfortable, quiet, and lasting structure.
All buildings will require some element of insulation, but those built from re-purposed shipping containers will have particular challenges because of the metal building composition. The building is vulnerable to moisture and the ensuing growth of mold and mildew as well as the destructive corrosion caused when moisture meets untreated metal. Within the container, the noise and temperature fluctuations will create an unhospitable environment, to say the least.
The problems of condensation and temperature instability require insulation, but all insulation options do not meet the needs of the container equally. Fiberglass insulation, for instance, will soak up water liberally, and the wooden frames used to hold the insulation cause thermal bridging at each stud’s location.
InSoFast insulation products can transform steel containers from echoing boxes of cold and heat to comfortable and versatile structures for building all manner of homes, offices, and other purpose-driven spaces.
InSoFast Products Available for Shipping Container Projects
- InSoFast CX Shipping Container Panels
- InSoFast InSerts Paired with InSoFast CX or EXi Insulation Panels
- InSoFast CX-LP LowPro Studs
CX Container Panels have a thin profile and a 44” by 24” design. When installed in a running bond pattern horizontally, the embedded studs will follow an 11” repeating pattern where the studs line up perfectly against the corrugated ridges of most shipping containers.
The InSoFast InSerts used in combination with InSoFast insulation panels provide an airtight system of continuous insulation. The InSerts fill up the empty corrugated spaces to create a flush surface for the installation of the interior panels.
The CX-LP LowPro Studs are used along with InSoFast InSerts. This system is more affordable because of the space saved with shipping, but it won’t facilitate running services like electricity while the CX shipping container panels will.
