For a creative and eco-friendly approach to constructing home or office space, builders can choose to transform a shipping container in San Diego, CA. If you buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels, you’ll overcome any problems created by the steel material of the structure with an affordable and easy to use solution.
The conventional method of insulation is to use a wooden frame to hold fiberglass insulation. This process is disastrous for shipping container projects. Due to thermal breaks at the stud locations, condensation will lead to mold, mildew, and rust. The insulation will also settle over time, lessening its strength even further.
InSoFast insulation panels create a system of continuous insulation that negates the need for a wooden frame. Instead, each panel includes built-in framing and non-ferrous studs that will prevent thermal breaks.
InSoFast Insulation Systems Explained
InSoFast insulation works as a wall system of interconnecting panels that promotes continuous insulation coverage. The panels are composed of closed-cell, injection-molded Expanded Polystyrene foam and are perfect for all sorts of surfaces – inside and outside.
The tongue and groove connections make it nearly impossible to mess up installation. Regardless of skill level, hobbyists and professionals alike can use InSoFast insulation panels to quickly install high-quality and effective insulation in their shipping container projects.
The closed cell structure of EPS foam is not porous. The R-value of InSoFast insulation panels, which indicates insulation strength, is double that of alternatives that use open-cell technology.
InSoFast CX Container Panels
The first of two InSoFast shipping container options is the CX Container Panel. This product’s dimensions are designed to follow the same 11” repeating pattern as the corrugated wall of the container, and the panels are only two inches thick to leave as much room as possible for movement and living within your new container habitation.
InSoFast Container InSerts
Our end wall, ceiling, and side wall InSerts are made with the same EPS foam, but they are shaped as sleeves that slide snugly into the corrugation and remain affixed with construction adhesive. Using these InSerts creates a flush surface that’s prepared to receive a layer of InSoFast interior insulation panels. Choose between InSoFast UX 2.0 and EXi 2.5, depending on the level of insulation you need.
Further construction of your shipping container project will require electrical wiring. InSoFast insulation panels include electrical raceways to facilitate running wiring.
The panels also contribute a rot resistant frame upon which you can hang drywall. Each embedded non-ferrous stud can hold up to 250 pounds and won’t cause thermal breaks like wooden studs do.
Moisture control channels promote drainage too, further minimizing the hazards of moisture.
InSoFast insulation kits come in either the standard 20- or 40-foot measurements, or you can order custom sizes.
