A shipping container, once retired from its original use, can be used again as a habitation, classroom, or office instead of being abandoned in the shipyard. The structure can’t be used without some construction, though, including insulation, wiring, plumbing, and finishing. The entire project will be made easier and get done faster if you buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels for your efforts in Santa Cruz, CA.

The InSoFast Insulation Solution for Shipping Container Living
InSoFast CX Container Panels
This insulation solution is made to fit the corrugated walls of shipping containers. The CX Container Panel from InSoFast is 44x24x2 inches. The lightweight, non-bulky panel makes it easy to move, and the thin depth will leave more room within the container than the traditional wooden frame and fiberglass insulation design would.
The panel itself follows an 11-inch repeating design along the corrugated sides as long as it’s placed with a horizontal orientation. The embedded studs will fit perfectly up against the corrugated ribs of the wall.
InSoFast Insulation InSerts for Shipping Containers
Another option for shipping container transformations is to use a combination of InSerts and interior insulation panels. The InSerts receive an application of construction adhesive and are then fixed in place inside of the empty spaces left within corrugated walls. InSoFast InSerts are composed of the same injection-molded, closed-cell Expanded Polystyrene foam as other InSoFast insulation panels.
This process readies the walls of the container for the application of InSoFast interior panels. Choose between the UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 panel for the most powerful insulation possible. Since all of the space is filled, the insulation system will be even more powerful.
Why Insulation Matters So Much to Your Shipping Container Project
Every home needs insulation, but it’s particularly important for shipping container transformations.
Shipping containers are primarily steel boxes. The conductive nature of the metal should be evident, but the ramifications of this conductivity might be overlooked. Temperatures will transition wildly and quickly depending on outside temperatures and sunlight.
In addition to the interior of the container being either too cold or too hot, there will also be substantial and regular condensation. That condensation will lead to rust and corrosion.
The noise issue relative to the shipping container will also be resolved with insulation, limiting the amplification of the sound waves.
Insulation options for your shipping container project are many, but only one is ideal for your plans. Spray foam insulation is too messy and costly, and the traditional fiberglass/wood frame design will take up too much room, complicate wiring, and cause thermal breakage in insulation coverage.
