If you need storage or living space, consider taking on a shipping container project. It doesn’t require much time, skill, or money, and it can lead to a comfortable and durable abode. Buy a stack of InSoFast shipping container insulation panels when you have your shipping container in place in Lubbock, TX, to get your project off well.
With InSoFast EPS foam insulation products, you’ll be able to handle the job of insulating your shipping container on your own, even if you’re a first timer. Our insulation will provide quality thermal protection as well as mitigated moisture, strong framing, and raceways for wiring services to your container.
Insulation Designed with Your Project in Mind
Having access to insulation products designed just for your shipping container project will make a significant difference in the success of your project. InSoFast insulation panels will make a comfortable space out of the shipping container.
The InSoFast CX44 Shipping Container panel fits perfectly against the side walls providing a combination of insulation and support simultaneously. The 2” depth of the panel will leave more of the finite shipping container space as compared with fiberglass insulation that would require the addition of a bulky space-taking frame.
Following an 11” repetitive pattern, the InSoFast CX44 panel measures 44×24 inches and should be installed with a horizontal orientation for appropriate placement of the embedded studs vertically along the interior ridges of the container’s corrugation.
The CX 44 panel creates R-11 thermal protection, provides a built-in frame and electrical raceways, and can be installed with few tools, few hands, and little skill.
The InSoFast insulation InSerts work in conjunction with InSoFast insulation panels. These sleeve-shaped foam units will fill the depths, creating a smooth surface that’s ready to receive either UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 insulation panels. With this system, there’s no empty air within the wall, so the insulation is more effective.
The choice between UX 2.0 and EXi 2.5 insulation panels will depend on the thickness of the panel and the power of the insulation required. The UX 2.0 panel provides an R-value of 8.5 with a 2” depth, offering an ideal level of insulation for most projects. A step up, the EXi 2.5 panel is ½” thicker, producing an R-value of 10, 20% more thermal protection than the UX 2.0 panel series.
The InSoFast CX-LP LowPro stud provides protection from thermal breaks along with a rot-resistant frame system. This product should be used with InSerts filling the corrugation and the rigid foam board of your choice spanning the gap between the stud and the InSert. Bear in mind that this system of insulation will not have raceways for running services as the other insulation options do.
Accompanying your purchase of a container should be a plan to buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels. With a stack of panels, a saw, a utility knife, a can of spray foam insulation, a caulking gun, and Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, you’ll be prepared to begin the project on the right foot.
