The shipping container home is becoming a much more common sight in the country. Whether your Long Beach, CA, project is a hobbyist pursuit or a commercial development, InSoFast insulation products offer continuous insulation that will speed up your completion date, lessen your budget, and lighten your stress and workload.
The surge in shipping container use is relatively easy to explain. Companies will leave them at the drop off point rather than shipping an empty container. Overrun shipyards make affordable shipping containers readily available, and the strong structure makes it effective to use for a variety of purposes from working to worshipping, living, working, or pursuing hobbies.
The Importance of Insulation in Shipping Containers
InSoFast insulation products are critical to a simply done shipping container conversion. The insulation aspect is vital because the metal of the container is such a good conductor – allowing thermal and sound energy to be amplified greatly. To keep temperatures comfortable, the noise level bearable, and condensation out of the picture, quality insulation is a must.
Other options, like spray foam insulation or fiberglass batting, are either too expensive and messy or less effective and non-sustaining, respectively. InSoFast insulation panels offer energy efficiency, affordability, durability, and non-degradation.
The straightforward approach of application that we offer will require you to purchase an adequate number of InSoFast products and bring a razor knife, saw, can of spray foam insulation, and caulking gun loaded with construction adhesive.
The InSoFast Insulation Available for Shipping Containers:
- CX 44
- InSerts
- CX LowPro Insulated Studs
CX 44 Shipping Container Panel Insulation – 44x24x2” – provides a standard size that will easily stack and doesn’t weigh much so that you can work with it easily. The product provides an R-value of 11 and leaves more of the interior room available for use because of its thin profile. The studs embedded into the panels also create a frame making a bulky wooden one a non-factor. This insulation panel will lie perfectly against the sides of the shipping container when installed horizontally in a running bond pattern.
InSerts – EPS foam sleeves – fill the inset columns created by the corrugation to make a flush surface. Then, you’ll apply a layer of InSoFast interior insulation – either UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 – for a fully airtight insulation system.
CX LowPro Insulated Studs – non-conductive and strong – will allow you to bypass purchasing the entire shipping container panel. The process involves adhering the studs along the ridges, filling the inset spaces with InSerts, and then covering the system with a rigid foam board of your choice. This option is excellent for projects with a limited budget or when services will not be wired to the project since raceways are not included.
