Building with shipping containers is not an endeavor only seen on TV. These projects have proven to be worthwhile solutions for those who want an environmentally friendly and affordable home or office space. The uses are as unlimited as the builder’s imagination, and the project can be completed quickly. DIYers in Ohio who have a plan in mind should buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels to see their plans come to fruition with minimal hiccups.
The surge of shipping container projects is real. From camp houses to pop-up shops, these projects appeal to the world of the hobbyist and commercially motivated alike.
The trend of shipping container conversions likely began because of the wide availability and affordability of the units themselves. Abandoned shipping containers are found throughout the country, waiting to be rescued and upcycled into a functional structure.
Issues with Shipping Container Projects
Building shipping container projects isn’t without difficulty or complication. The metal of the shipping container promotes thermal energy loss as well as condensation. Sufficient insulation will ensure temperature stabilization as well as mitigation of condensation formation. In so doing, builders will make the structures habitable and durable.
The InSoFast insulation panels are injection-molded, closed-cell EPS foam. When put together, the system these panels create will provide continuous insulation coverage for your building.
CX 44 Shipping Container Insulation Panels
The CX 44 shipping container insulation panels produce R-11 continuous insulation. The panels create a frame because each has two built-in non-ferrous studs within it. Additional features of the panels include built-in channels for wiring, moisture control channels, and an 11” repeating pattern that suits perfectly against shipping container side walls.
Side Wall and End Wall InSerts
Other insulation options for shipping containers include Side Wall and End Wall InSerts. Once the InSerts are in place, a wall system of insulation will follow. Builders should choose between the UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panel. The CX 44 panel is not appropriate for this step. Systems made with the combination of InSerts and interior insulation are airtight and provide maximum thermal protection.
CX-LP LowPro Embedded Studs
The CX-LP studs supply the framing and insulated protection of the InSoFast insulation panel without the bulk of the panel. These systems work in combination with InSerts and any rigid foam board. Cheaper than other InSoFast products, the CX embedded stud is perfect for jobs that don’t require running services to the structure. If you’re planning to run electricity or other services to your project, you should proceed with the CX 44 shipping container panel option or the InSerts plus interior panel method.
The Benefits of Choosing InSoFast Insulation Products
A professional contractor isn’t necessary for installing InSoFast insulation systems. Our panels have a simple panel design that makes installation convenient without the complexity of other insulation methods. Tools required for this job are limited to a caulking gun loaded with construction adhesive, a utility knife and saw for modifying the panels, and a can of spray foam insulation for sealing up any gaps or seams.
Builders in Ohio interested in transforming a shipping container into anything from an architectural masterpiece to a simple storage shed will benefit from the decision to buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels.
