If you’ve been inspired by the new trend of transforming shipping containers into purpose-driven buildings, you need to consider the importance of insulation. These metal units provide strong bones for building, but the metal is also highly conductive. The humid, warm climate of Miramar, FL, will warrant the protection provided when you buy and install InSoFast shipping container insulation panels as part of your project.
Unregulated Temperature Extremes
The purpose of insulation is to keep thermal energy from escaping the home’s interior. In other words, when your A/C or heating system does its job, more of that climate-controlled air will stay inside when insulation is effective. A shipping container is singularly vulnerable to thermal loss because of the metal composition. Other challenges caused by the steel include greatly amplified noise and frequently occurring condensation. Overcoming these problems via quality insulation will make your project possible.
InSoFast insulation products meant for shipping containers include the CX44 panel, InSerts for side walls, end walls, and ceilings, and CX-LP LowPro Embedded Studs. These products make installing high-quality, effective, and lasting insulation something you can do on your own without the expense of professional labor.
The CX shipping container panel is a 44”x24”x2” panel should be installed horizontally, making the embedded studs line up vertically against the corrugated ridges. These panels are non-porous and fit together at notched edges to produce gap-free continuous insulation. As important as it is to emphasize the ease of installation and the quality of the insulation protection, the benefits of choosing InSoFast insulation products don’t end there.
More Than Thermal Stability
The versatile nature of InSoFast insulation panels is impressive.
The panels include built-in channels for running services. This feature will make running electric wire throughout your home easier, and the easy modifications made to the foam will do the same for installing outlet boxes.
The embedded insulated studs are another feature that has multiple benefits. Instead of installing a bulky wooden frame, the InSoFast insulation panels have polypropylene studs every 16” on center. These studs serve as a frame, eliminating the need for the wooden frame. This advantage is excellent in consideration of interior space. The panels also have indicator lines to make mounting drywall and accessories a straightforward process.
While you expect insulation to stabilize thermal energy, InSoFast insulation panels also mitigate condensation and vapor. A system of our insulation will act as a Koozie for your container, preventing condensation formation. The non-porous nature of the foam also prevents moisture from naturally occurring humidity from passing through, and the moisture control channels wick away any moisture that does occur away from the wall.
The greatest claim to fame for InSoFast insulation may very well be the convenience of the installation. InSoFast insulation panels need a few things for install. They include construction adhesive, a saw and utility knife to modify the panels, a caulking gun for application of the adhesive, and canned spray foam insulation to close up all small gaps and edges.
A shipping container offers the perfect material for building a structure for whatever purpose you might imagine. Buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels to facilitate any design you might imagine. Your home, retail establishment, vacation home, or other structure in Miramar, FL, will be thermally efficient, dry, and quiet and won’t require professional installation or sacrifice of quality.
