Looking to downsize?
Need a portable structure for a pop-up shop or concession stand business?
Embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle and want to build a home that reflects this commitment?
These plans and more become possible with the rescue and rehab of an abandoned shipping container. Since insulation is one of the most severe challenges you’ll face, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels and have them arrive on your build site in Gainesville, FL, for a hassle-free transformation.
The Draw of a Shipping Container Transformation
The standard size and shape of container units make them ideal for use as a repurposed building material. Finding units at reasonable prices doesn’t require in-depth searching. They’re cost-effective, strong, and readily modified for versatility of repurposing.
The Shared Strength and Weakness of Shipping Containers
Building with shipping containers comes with the benefits and challenges related to the steel composition of the units. Metal conducts energy of all sorts – including thermal and sound. Without stellar insulation processes, your shipping container build will be loud, difficult to heat or cool, and ridiculously noisy. InSoFast, LLC, offers user-friendly products that provide differentiated insulation systems.
System 1: CX-44 Panels for Shipping Container Walls
The injection-molded, closed-cell, non-porous, Expanded Polystyrene foam insulation panel that InSoFast, LLC, produces for shipping container transformations is meant to work specifically with the corrugated fabrication of the shipping container’s metal structure.
- Lightweight, non-bulky for easier transport, storage, and install;
- Design that requires simple tools including construction adhesive, caulk gun, utility knife, and saw of any type;
- Thin panel design and built-in frame in place of the traditional design leaves more useable area within the unit;
- Electric raceways and moisture control channels facilitate wiring and mitigate moisture, respectively.
System 2: InSerts Paired with Interior Insulation Panels for Shipping Container Side Walls, Ceilings, and End Walls
InSerts and InSoFast interior panels, used in combination, are a bit more complex to install but provide an additional degree of airtight, continuous insulation coverage. The InSerts slide into the recessed columns created from the corrugation process, and when this step is done, the result will be an even wall. Then, you’ll apply a layer of UX2.0 or EXi2.5 interior panels to complete the system. The end result leaves no room within the wall for un-treated air.
System 3: InSerts, CX-LP Low-Pro Embedded Studs, Rigid Foam Board
Sometimes storage container plans aren’t geared toward uses that require electricity throughout the unit. In these instances, you can save some money while still enjoying the space-saving, strength-building, insulated frame that our products provide. Installation follows a set procedure:
- Step One – Apply the CX-LP studs to the ribs of the corrugation.
- Step Two – Apply the InSerts in the corrugated recesses.
- Step Three – Apply your choice of rigid foam board in the area between studs.
For simplified ordering, we provide kits for shipping container orders. Customize your order, or rely upon our standard kits to fit either a standard 20’ or 40’ container with either 8’ or 9’ high cube ceilings.
