Shipping container units are widely available, affordable, and useful as the bones for a build of any sort you might imagine. Whether you plan to build a tiny home, a triple unit mansion, a concession stand, or a house of worship in British Columbia, Canada, buy InSoFast shipping container insulation panels to cover all your insulation needs and more.
InSoFast insulation products made for shipping container projects work with the design of the unit, providing the features our products are known for in a fashion that is maximally effective given the use. Products that we make especially for shipping container transformations include the following:
- InSoFast CX 44 Shipping Container Insulation Panel
- InSoFast InSerts
- InSoFast CX-LP LowPro Embedded Studs
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam makes up our insulation products. It’s a highly dense material that is closed-cell and injection-molded to create remarkable, non-porous insulation.
Importance of Insulation for Shipping Container Builds
Steel shipping containers are particularly vulnerable to loss of thermal energy. Traditional fiberglass batting is affordable and readily available, but sticking with old-fashioned means of insulation brings the same problems along with it: mold and mildew growth, thermal bridging, and loss of insulation strength as fiberglass settles.
To achieve excellent insulation power along with protection from condensation and humidity, consider the InSoFast insulation options. The material doesn’t deteriorate or lose strength over time, absorb water or feed mold growth, or allow for thermal bridging at the sites of studs.
Benefits of Insulating with Our Products
Shipping containers have a particular design, and we meet the peculiarities of this design with the way that we make our shipping container panels. The CX 44 shipping container panel follows a repeating pattern of 11 inches, aligned horizontally against the side walls of the corrugation. Their thin, 2-inch profile leaves as much of the small space for use as possible.
The built-in studs embedded in the insulation aren’t conductive. Every 16” on center, a strong stud lies for use to adhere the panels to the container as well as providing a source of strength for hanging drywall and any mounted accessories like cabinets, shelving, or flatscreens.
For the best possible air-tight fit, the InSoFast combination of InSerts and interior insulation panels UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5 works wonders. InSerts are sleeves of EPS that fill the corrugation for a smooth surface upon which a wall of interior insulation follows.
Still another insulation option facilitated by InSoFast is to use the CX-LP LowPro Embedded studs to include a non-conductive frame, InSerts to fill empty corrugation, and the rigid foam board of your choice to fill the space between the two. This option is more affordable, but it does not include raceways for running wiring.
Any of our products can be installed without special skills or tools. They’re user-friendly and high quality. Our website is chock full of resources to guide your purchase and installation.
