If you’re in the midst of planning a shipping container conversion project and looking for the best materials around, keep reading! When finished, we’re confident that you’ll be ready to buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels and have them delivered to your project site in Georgia for a faster and easier build experience.
Insulation Should Be Priority #1 for Shipping Container Transformations
The steel composition of shipping containers is the source of your project’s strength as well as its most imposing challenge. The conductivity of the home can be surprisingly easy to overcome with quality InSoFast insulation products. You’ll be able to maintain a comfortable temperature and lower utility costs while limiting condensation, corrosion, and amplified noise.
The CX 44 Shipping Container Panel Insulation from InSoFast
The InSoFast CX 44 shipping container panel is made to work with the contours of the shipping container’s corrugated sides. The 24”x44” panels should be placed horizontally in a running bond pattern that repeats every 11” for a seamless installation. The two studs embedded within each panel will align against a ridged portion of corrugation and is made to serve as the place where construction adhesive is used to adhere the panel to the wall.
In addition to the R-11 energy efficiency this product provides, the continuous insulation system provides additional benefits to your project:
- Wiring
- Framing
- Moisture Elimination
- DIY-friendly Installation
Wiring – InSoFast insulation panels provide raceways for wiring that facilitates setting up circuitry. The channels follow a sideways and lengthwise path to allow for any setup you desire, and the foam is so easily modified with a utility knife that adding outlet boxes at your discretion is simple.
Framing – The rot-resistant studs embedded within the panels serve as a substitute for traditional wood framing. The studs are strong – able to support 250 pounds each, so you can be confident in the ability to hold the necessary drywall in addition to accessories like flatscreens and shelving. The thin profile of the panel is also preferable to the wooden frame especially considering the limited space within the container.
Moisture Elimination – Little could have more long-term damage to your shipping container home or office than the presence of moisture. The EPS foam panels are non-porous, and the built-in moisture channels wick away vapor and moisture from the wall. Corrosion caused by condensation and humidity won’t occur with InSoFast insulation products.
The results of moisture on fiberglass insulation are often mildew and mold. InSoFast insulation panels don’t promote the growth of these substances, nor will they provide sustenance for pests and rodents.
DIY-Friendly Installation – Installing InSoFast insulation panels is simple and can be done quickly. Prepare yourself for installation by watching a couple of the resource videos uploaded to our website, ordering a supply of panels, and gathering a few simple tools.
The panels connect to one another via notched edges and to the wall with construction adhesive. You’ll need a caulking gun, and a supply of Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive. As the build continues and you need to resize the panels, a utility knife for cutting through the foam and a saw of some sort for cutting through the polypropylene studs will be necessary. Once complete, seal the seams, edges, and gaps with canned spray foam insulation, and your airtight shipping container insulation is done!
