Transforming a shipping container into a space that’s usable for residential or commercial habitation is a unique, sustainable building trend. As you contemplate such a plan in Houston, TX, buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast to make the process easy, affordable, and extremely effective. Our professional-quality injection-molded, Expanded Polystyrene foam panels are ideal for do-it-yourselfers.
InSoFast Insulation Panels Work with Shipping Container Conversions
Manufactured and shipped by InSoFast, the CX shipping container panel has features that will make your conversion project easier and better. With dimensions of 44×24 inches and a thickness of 2”, the profile will leave ample interior space for life, work, and enjoyment within the shipping container.
These insulation panels have embedded, non-ferrous studs that will help you avoid thermal leakage while also providing a strong base for holding drywall and cabinets. The stud feature also provides a frame, making it possible to conserve even more room by doing away with the step of constructing a wooden frame.
The only tools you’ll need include a caulking gun armed with PL Premium 3x Stronger Construction Adhesive, a utility knife, and the saw of your choice. The CX units can be applied with a horizontal orientation directly to the interior ridges.
Traditional construction and insulation methods will lead to problems in a shipping container. InSoFast, on the other hand, installs quickly and provides a lifetime of effectiveness.
InSoFast InSerts for Shipping Container Projects
Another choice for the conversion of a shipping container includes InSoFast InSerts paired with your choice of regular InSoFast insulation panels. This continuous insulation works because the inserts fill the inset corrugation of the shipping container. The sides, ends, and ceilings of the container can be insulated in this manner. Once you create a flush surface with the InSerts, the UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panels follow, creating maximum insulation and air-tightness.
Insulating Power
Each InSoFast insulation option offers effective insulation. The UX 2.0 panel has an R-value of 8.5, and the EXi 2.5 panel has an R-value of 10.5. Each outperforms the competition and includes rot-resistant built-in framing, moisture control channels, built-in electric raceways, and a simple and stackable design. The shipping container specific panel, InSoFast CX, has an R-value of 11.
