If you’re thinking of converting a shipping container into a home, classroom, office, or other usable structure, shipping container interior wall panels from InSoFast can shorten the time spent working, enhance the quality of the project, and leave a bit extra in your budget.
The continuous insulation we produce depends on the interlocking panels of closed-cell, injection-molded, EPS foam. InSoFast insulation panels were originally intended for use in commercial construction projects. The incredible versatility and flexibility promoted by the product have provoked a surge in use by hobbyists, especially those working on shipping container transformations.
The Quality of Shipping Container Insulation Matters
The metal construction of shipping containers creates some particular obstacles that quality insulation can overcome.
Hot and cold temperatures inside the container pose a huge problem for use. How can you live, work, learn, or worship in scorching heat during the summer or in an icebox in the winter? Without appropriate insulation, this situation is precisely what you’ll face with a shipping container project.
Condensation happens when cool metal and hot sun rays meet. The water created will stream through traditional insulation, leading to rot, mold, and mildew. Quality insulation will prevent this condensation from the beginning and wick away moisture when needed.
Noise is an often-underestimated issue within shipping containers that insulation can resolve. InSoFast insulation paneling provides an easy way to insulate the floor, side and end walls, and ceiling for a quiet space.
The Insulation InSoFast Products Can Provide
Transforming a shipping container into a comfortable living and working space with InSoFast insulation products won’t take much time or much money but will provide hardy and strong insulation. The panels are made from closed-cell, injection-molded Expanded Polystyrene foam that offers double the R-value as open-celled insulation technology.
The panels fit together with interlocking notches, and the system grows stronger with each additional panel you add. The finished product will be airtight, continuous insulation that will prevent energy loss for maximum energy efficiency.
