Shipping containers are designed for shipping, not living. You’ll need practical and effective solutions to deal with their interior temperature and moisture to make your vision of a shipping container home feasible. One great solution for your new shipping container office or home in Sarasota, FL, is to buy shipping container insulation panels from InSoFast. Our products are high quality, affordable, and offer many benefits.
Thermal Balance Despite Environmental Extremes
Once you are able to control the climate in the interior of a shipping container, it will have real potential as a home, office, or classroom. With insulation, you will enjoy comfortable living temperatures, lower utility bills, and prevent destructive condensation.
The Shipping Container Panel by InSoFast
One of your options for insulating a shipping container with InSoFast products is the CX 44 shipping container panel. This panel is non-porous continuous insulation with an R-value of 11. The thin profile and tight fit provide a thermal barrier without taking up too much of the valuable interior shipping container space.
The other option for dealing with insulation in your shipping container is to use InSoFast InSerts to fill the corrugated spaces and provide a flush surface on which you can apply InSoFast UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 insulation panels.
Appreciate All the Extra Benefits
Traditional wood framing takes up quite a bit of the limited space inside the shipping container. InSoFast insulation panels include embedded studs every 16 inches on center, and in turn, they provide built-in framing that is ready for affixing the insulation panels and then hanging drywall and cabinetry.
Using InSoFast insulation options for shipping container panels provides additional benefits for your project. You’ll find it easier to wire electricity using the built-in raceways. They run horizontally and vertically, and without the need for a wood frame, the wiring process can be completed quickly.
InSoFast insulation products also mitigate moisture and water vapor. Moisture is a real hazard to shipping container conversions because the metal is vulnerable to rust and corrosion, and water will also cause mold and mildew. Efficient temperature control will stop the formation of condensation before it begins. Any moisture that does occur will run down the drainage channels, away from the walls.
The convenience of using InSoFast insulation panels is another benefit. The design is intuitive, connecting via tongue-and-groove interlocking pieces. You can complete the project with only Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a saw of some kind, a utility knife, and some spray foam insulation to seal up edges and seams.
Constructing your own home is a big undertaking.
