Protect your shipping container turned home or office with the best shipping container insulation panels – InSoFast insulation products. The Alabama heat and humidity will be no match for our methods and materials. When you buy our products, your project will last longer, finish faster, and cost less!
Choosing the perfect insulation product for your project is possible with the InSoFast product catalog. We provide a few different options that work with the corrugation of shipping containers, namely the CX 44 shipping container panel, InSerts of EPS foam, and CX-LP Low-Pro embedded studs.
All of our products are composed of closed cell Expanded Polystyrene foam (EPS). The foam is injection molded into the shape required by our patented and patent-pending designs. The lines of insulation products we manufacture are strong, non-porous, and easily installed.
Why Insulation Is So Important to Shipping Container Projects
If you’ve ever had the misfortune of touching a metal pan that’s been on the stove, you understand how conductive metal can be. To make a steel shipping container comfortable in the Alabama climate, you need effective insulation to control the heat and humidity. Everyday life’s experience with a cold drink on a hot day and the condensation that results should similarly inform you of the need to insulate a container – as you do a drink with a koozie.
The continuous insulation provided by InSoFast insulation maximizes the efficiency of the system. The studs aren’t conductive and are fully sheathed within closed-cell insulating EPS foam. With this feature and the tight connection among panels, thermal bridging doesn’t occur as it does with typical fiberglass/wood frame setups.
Fiberglass insulation absorbs water, setting an ideal stage for mold and mildew. Insects, rodents, and pests of all sorts find refuge and sustenance within this material. Not so with InSoFast panels. These non-porous panels wick away moisture so that mold and mildew can’t grow, and the lack of protection for pests prevents infestation.
How InSoFast Products Work with Shipping Containers
The CX 44 shipping container panel is made to answer the particular features of a shipping container with corresponding dimensions and characteristics. The panels are 44” long, 24” wide, and 2” deep, so they aren’t too bulky to handle on your own and thin enough to require little of the precious space within the container. When applied horizontally, the panels go along an 11” repetitive pattern and match the corrugated interior in a running bond pattern of installation.
These panels also include non-ferrous studs every 16” on center that will prevent thermal bridging and replace the wooden frame.
Another InSoFast insulation product that will work with the design of your shipping container is the InSert. It’s used with the UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panel. First, the InSerts slide within the empty spaces of corrugation, and the interior panel of your choice goes over the resulting flat surface in a system of continuous, airtight insulation.
The final option for shipping container projects is best suited for those that don’t include the need for electricity. The CX-LP Low-Pro studs used along with rigid foam board and InSerts provide an effective system of insulation at a cheaper rate, but they don’t include moisture channels, electric raceways, or tongue-and-groove notches.
Each of the above insulation methods is simple to install and needs a few simple tools for installation. Order a supply of panels and gather up a utility knife, saw, construction adhesive, caulk gun, and canned spray foam to be fully prepared for your insulation project.
