The upswing in shipping container transformed spaces shouldn’t come as a surprise. Modern problems require out-of-the-box thinking, and shipping container homes, offices, churches, and classrooms are quality examples of what creative thinking can produce. When contemplating this project, InSoFast insulation products provide the most energy efficient insulation for shipping container homes along with an easier process of installation with benefits that facilitate other aspects of the project like wiring and framing.
Insulating material is a must-have for shipping container projects because its metal composition is so very conductive. Maintaining a comfortable interior temperature is next to impossible without high-performing insulation. With InSoFast insulation panels, comfortable interior temperatures, lower electricity bills, and a reasonable decibel level are possible.
Understanding the Necessity of Shipping Container Home Insulation
Making sure that A/C cooled air stays inside during the summer and that heated air stays inside during the winter demands quality insulation. InSoFast injection-molded, closed-cell, EPS foam insulation panels provide great thermal protection and connect together to design an airtight system of continuous insulation coverage.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint Created by Your Need for Space
Environmentally aware residents, business owners, and community managers often cite limiting the carbon footprint of the project as a reason to choose shipping container conversions.
With quality InSoFast insulation products, you can build on the choice to upcycle a shipping container into a home, office, church, or classroom. The incredible insulating power reduces the energy used to keep the home comfortable, increases the durability of the home, and will not break down or release CFCs or HCFCs.
The InSoFast Insulation Products for Shipping Container Projects
Shipping container insulation systems comprised of InSoFast shipping container insulation panels, CX 44, are designed to provide ready insulation that works with the container itself. The panels are 2” deep and take the place of an additional wood frame for support, so the finite space within the container will be maximized.
CX panels are 44 x 24 inches and follow an 11” pattern that repeats along the corrugation. Application of the panels should follow a horizontal orientation to make sure that the embedded studs align with the corrugated ridges.
Systems of CX 44 shipping container insulation provide an R-value of 11, a built-in frame, included raceways for wiring, a strong and non-ferrous system of studs, and a straightforward universal design. The panels go in without requiring special tools or much help while appropriately fitting along flat surfaces including walls, floors, and ceilings.
The InSerts of EPS foam will fill up the empty spaces and create a smooth, air-free surface upon which interior InSoFast insulation should follow.
InSoFast InSerts also help build a system of insulation using InSoFast CX-LP LowPro Studs and any rigid foam board insulation. The studs are embedded within EPS insulation, and they should be installed directly on the ridges of the corrugation while the InSerts fill the empty spaces. The rigid foam boards then go between the studs for a fully complete system of continuous insulation. This system will lack the raceways for running services, the drainage channels for controlling moisture, and the interlocking edges for a foolproof installation.
