The second act of a shipping container occurs after it’s been used for shipping and abandoned in a shipyard. Used containers are readily available, very affordable, and still useful. For the best possible outcomes, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels when you’re planning a shipping container conversion project in Arlington, TX.
The InSoFast Insulation Revolution
InSoFast insulation products have made quite an impact on the construction industry since our inception in 2006. The panels we produce consist of EPS foam, and the wall systems of insulation they produce are impressively effective. Our products provide a built-in frame along with a leg up in the wiring process. The installation of these panels is foolproof and simple, so even novice homeowners can perform the work of insulation.
Our products are American made at our facilities in South Dakota, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Idaho, and we offer free shipping to destinations within the Lower 48.
The Strength of InSoFast Insulation Products
InSoFast insulating products connect tightly via tongue-and-groove notches on the edges. The system of wall insulation grows stronger with each additional panel, and the panels themselves consist of closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam. This strong insulation works in a variety of applications – including shipping container purposes.
InSoFast CX Shipping Container Panels are designed to match against the corrugation of shipping containers. The panels are 44-inches long, 24-inches wide, and 2-inches thick. They don’t weigh much, and they’re easily maneuvered and modified. The thin profile, built-in frame, and strong, non-porous insulation make the panels worthy of any shipping container transformation plan.
Application will follow an 11-inch pattern that repeats when placed horizontally in a running bond pattern, and the embedded studs will line up well against the corrugation.
InSoFast Insulation InSerts are another option we provide for insulating shipping containers. The InSerts fit within the recessed places of the shipping container, creating a flat surface. Then, you’ll apply one of our interior lines of insulation – either UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5. This system provides maximum protection from outside temperatures.
InSoFast CX-LP LowPro Studs are a less expensive option. The studs line up on the ridges of the corrugation, and InSoFast InSerts fill in the empty corrugated spaces. Then, your choice of rigid foam board insulation panel will be installed over the InSerts and between the studs. This option does not provide the electrical raceways common to InSoFast panels.
Insulation Alternatives
InSoFast insulation is the best choice for your shipping container project, but it isn’t the only method you have to choose from. Traditional fiberglass batting, spray foam insulation, and other rigid foam boards are options as well.
Spray foam insulation is often prohibitively expensive, messy, and requires professional installation.
Traditional fiberglass batting requires a bulky wooden frame. It also soaks up water, settles over time, and encourages the growth of mold and mildew.
Alternative brands of rigid foam board insulation often lack the closed cell insulating strength of InSoFast panels. They also fail to include the raceways, drainage channels, and built-in framing provided by our products.
