Floor (20’ Container) 2.0 Flat Panel-Bundle

Insulating a shipping container floor with the InSoFast flat panels increases thermal performance. Just insulating between the flooring beams @ 12″ on center, the steel beams, a super conductor of thermal energy will deliver a U-Value thermal penalty of .109.  What that means an R-19 insulation placed between the beams the effective R-Value, will be, (1 ÷ 0.109 = R-Value of 9.17)   Adding the UX 2.0 (R-8.5) flat panels to a container floor can double performance and increase comfort. 

This floor bundle is part of an assembly with enough material to finish one 40 High Cube or standard container floor. The studs are 16 inches on center.

2″ thick  of closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam body achieves R-8.5 insulation The UX2.0 is our thinnest panel, optimized for flat surface interior finishing. The UX 2.0 will work on floors, walls, ceilings adapted for shipping container construction. It is a good choice as a sub-flooring base panel for shipping containers.

You will need to determine what loading (weight per square foot) is acceptable for your local building codes.

For the most part, live load and dead load values for floor systems are considered “distributed loads.” The total weight is distributed or shared uniformly by the members in the floor system. InSoFast panels are uniform because they have 100% contact with the concrete and subflooring. Our product testing determined that InSoFast panels can support 13 lbs per square inch of compressive resistance at 10% strain deformation. This equates to 1872 lbs per square foot for the design load, well within most residential construction specifications.

Estimating and ordering is simple measure the square feet of floor surface that it requires to complete the job. Divide the total square footage by 40 sq.ft per box and that will give the box requirement for the project, (round up to the whole box count).  Don’t overestimate.

• One (UX2.0 Insulated Panel = (8 sq.ft)
• One box of  5 (Insulated Panels = (40 sq.ft)
