The ingenious uses for shipping container transformations are innumerable. Practically any need for space finds a suitable solution with a bit of creativity and a rescued container. Any of these plans will require insulation, so plan to buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels and have them shipped directly to your project site in Hempstead, NY.
The plans that you make for a container-turned-workshop/home/retail space/etc. will face naysayers and doubters. You’ll be told that your plans are pie-in-the-sky nonsense. Instead of listening to the negativity, take the warnings and turn them into instructive guidance.
Concern 1 – Thermal Instability
One of the primary, valid concerns will be the fact that shipping containers are metal, and metal is a strong conductor. You’ll need to begin with an effective insulation product. Cue InSoFast insulation panels, an inventive, efficient insulation that you can install on your own.
A Panel Made for Shipping Container Walls
Insulating the walls of your shipping container couldn’t be easier than when you choose the InSoFast CX shipping container panel. Installation of this product is straightforward. Panels follow a running bond pattern to create a gap-free wall of continuous insulation.
The Side Benefits of InSoFast Insulation Panels
In addition to effective and easy insulation, InSoFast insulation panels facilitate running services to your new structure. The channels for installing services run horizontally and vertically on the panel, and the EPS foam is readily modifiable to welcome the outlet boxes. You won’t find this benefit with other insulation products.
You will also be surprised to find the built-in frame that InSoFast insulation panels compose. Each panel holds two non-ferrous polypropylene studs within them. When the panels are in place, the alignment is true and straight due to the interlocking notches, so the studs are as well. The ingenuity of these studs results in several benefits including the following:
- Replacement for traditional frame leaving more usable interior space;
- Lack of thermal bridging where insulation continuity fails with other systems;
- Strong source of purchase for installation;
- Frame for installation of drywall as well as mounted hardware like cabinets and televisions;
- Frame that will not deteriorate, release chemicals, or welcome pests, mold, or mildew.
Concern 2 – Condensation and Humidity
Along with temperature instability, condensation follows the metal construction of a shipping container. Picture an enlarged version of a cold soda can on a hot day; the sweat that appears on the can also appears on the shipping container. Quality insulation like our products provide will lessen this phenomenon, and our products don’t absorb water. In fact, they feature moisture mitigation channels to wick away any water.
Concern 3 – Your Ability to Do the Job
A Do-It-Yourself skill level will be another of the concerns that naysayers cite. Fortunately, InSoFast insulation panels are the type of product that you don’t need special skill or tools to apply. A utility knife, any type of saw, a caulking gun loaded with construction adhesive, and canned spray foam insulation are the only tools you’ll need, and we offer ample guidance on our website to bring your skill level up quickly.
Open a pop-up retail space, create an eco-friendly home, or construct your lakeside home with the perfect view by transforming an abandoned container unit.
