When time is of the essence following a disaster like a house fire or storm, a shipping container can be an effective foundation for a home build. InSoFast insulation products allow professional and handy novice homebuilders to maintain the strength of the steel structure while mitigating the effects of the conductive metal on the unit’s habitability and longevity. When you buy a supply of these panels, we will ship them to your home site in Alberta, Canada, for a hassle-free undertaking. Create a home that will last a lifetime with a bit of innovation and our insulation products.
An abundance of insulation materials is available to you for your shipping container project, including fiberglass, spray foam, and rigid foam boards, but all options aren’t equal in this situation. InSoFast insulation products provide real advantages in both function and ease of installation.
InSoFast Insulation Eliminates Moisture
Condensation occurs in shipping container homes much as it does with cold canned beverages on a hot summer day. Over time, this repeated occurrence will degrade the steel of the unit. A system of InSoFast insulation panels functions for your shipping container home as a koozie does for your canned drink. Each non-porous InSoFast CX shipping container panel resists water absorption and also includes drainage channels that direct vapor and water away from the wall’s interior.
InSoFast Insulation Offers a Non-Conductive Frame
A wooden frame generally accompanies the use of fiberglass insulation. It provides the studs for hanging drywall, but it also creates thermal bridges at each stud location where they interrupt insulation coverage. InSoFast insulation panels contain polypropylene studs that are as strong as a 20-gauge steel stud, but they’re not conductive and are embedded within the insulation, maintaining the continuity of the insulation system. Since these studs offer purchase and support for hanging drywall and other mounted products, a wooden frame isn’t necessary. This fact leaves more room for furniture, movement, and living, which is a great advantage for a small shipping container.
InSoFast Insulation Prevents Thermal Loss
Insulation’s primary purpose is to keep thermal energy from crossing the boundary that insulation creates, keeping internal temperatures stable. Our shipping container panels have an R-value of 11 and create a system of continuous insulation with no thermal leakage. Our InSoFast PLUS method, wherein a layer of your choice of rigid foam board follows the InSoFast shipping container panel system, cumulatively enhances the R-value further.
InSoFast Insulation Simplifies Electric Work
The CX 44 shipping container panel features built-in raceways for running services. These channels run both lengthwise and sideways so that the wires can follow the best route for your wiring scheme. The EPS foam of the panel can be modified with a utility knife to install the outlet box, and canned spray foam insulation will seal up any gaps once it’s in place. The entire process can be completed with much less time and aggravation with InSoFast panels than it would with a wooden frame/fiberglass design.
The project plans for your shipping container home, office, or other building in Alberta, Canada, should include taking measurements and placing an order to buy InSoFast insulation panels.
