The surge in shipping container turned home, office, etc. stems from the ready access and affordability of the units. The strength of the steel composition creates a great starting point for the build, but it also creates challenges to creating a habitable, lasting building. When you buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels for your project in Irving, TX, you’ll have the right product to eliminate obstacles while speeding up the build.
What It Takes to Build a Home Out of a Metal Box
A metal shipping container’s conductivity is the primary source of limitations to habitability. This factor promotes the formation of condensation and temperature fluctuations as well as the amplification of noise.
Rust and corrosion are the clearest dangers to durability. When condensation forms on metal, the inevitable result is destruction. Unfortunately, the metal also creates an environment where condensation recurs regularly.
Overcoming the effects of condensation requires quality insulation, moisture control, and protective paint. InSoFast insulating panels join to create seamless continuous insulation providing thermal protection. The panels also feature drainage channels that eliminate moisture from the walls.
Another problem commonly caused by the metal composition is the fluctuation in temperature. Freezing in the winter and overwhelmingly hot in the summer, the interior of the shipping container will not be livable without insulation. InSoFast insulation panels provide the level of insulation needed to create a comfortable home with lower utility costs and greater efficiency.
While noise might be an after-thought, an uninsulated shipping container would be a recipe for migraines. InSoFast insulation is just the trick to muffle the echo and turn the metal box into the right structure for any purpose.
