A shipping container doesn’t have to languish in a shipyard, abandoned and unused. With a bit of effort and ingenuity, shipping containers can be changed to serve as a home, office, gym, or other habitation. For the best potential results, buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast, LLC, to complete your project in Concord, NC.
What Makes InSoFast Insulation Products Special?
While several InSoFast insulation products are available, the magic of the products stems from the same concept: continuous insulation. The panels connect and become a system of insulation without thermal bridging.
All of the panels are made from closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam. This material isn’t porous. It’s quite dense and prevents loss of thermal energy. Through the insulation strength of the panels and the tight connection of the system, InSoFast insulation provides double the R-value per square inch.
As you contemplate your shipping container project, we proudly offer a couple of options you can use to create powerful insulation without an abundance of money, effort, or time.
What Are the InSoFast Container Insulation Products Available?
The InSoFast CX container panel provides excellent insulation coverage with a thin profile meant to take up little of the usable container space. The panels are 44×24 inches, and they should be applied horizontally so that they line up against the ribs of the corrugation by following the 11-inch repeating pattern.
An InSoFast shipping container option with more of an airtight design is to combine InSoFast InSerts with InSoFast interior insulation panels. The pairing works because the foam sleeves fill up the empty area left by the corrugated design. These foam sleeves make a flat surface upon which the interior panels lie.
Alternative Choices for Shipping Container Insulation
Shipping container insulation can come from products other than InSoFast insulation panels. Fiberglass insulation and spray foam insulation are both viable alternatives, but neither is ideal.
If you’re looking for an insulation option you can install yourself, choose InSoFast insulation products. The other options are better suited to professional installation. Furthermore, the alternatives don’t work as well and can lead to mildew and mold development. The required wooden frame will also take up too much room.
Each InSoFast shipping container insulation panel includes built-in embedded studs that work as a frame. The panels have indicator lines to promote drywall application, and the studs will hold up to 250 pounds apiece. You’ll have no need to install a separate wooden frame.
The electrical raceways embedded within the panels will facilitate wiring as well. You won’t have to navigate a wooden frame, and the raceways will allow you to run wire either horizontally or vertically. The foam panel even allows you to cut out space for outlet installation.
To install InSoFast EPS foam insulation panels within your shipping container, you’ll need just a few tools. They include some sort of saw, a utility knife, Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a caulking gun, and a can of spray foam insulation to seal all of the tiny cracks and seams.
Once you determine that the best route for your project is to buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast, call (888) 501-7899 to place an order. We’ll ship free of charge for your project in Concord, NC or elsewhere in the contiguous US.
