Shipping containers have many uses: storage, offices, living quarters, greenhouses, sheds, pools and more! Insulating a shipping container is extremely beneficial for keeping a steady temperature year round. Insulation keeps the container cool in the summer and warm in winter. Additionally, the insulation deadens sound, which keeps the interior quiet and peaceful.
An insulated shipping container is also pest resistant as the insulation blocks off small cracks and gaps that bugs can crawl through. Finally, insulation prevents moisture in a shipping container which stops mold, mildew and structural damage.
As shipping containers have many uses and purposes, one insulation product may work for one use and not for another. Schedule a free assessment with our team of certified technicians and go over the best options for your project.
Spray foam is the most efficient, quick and easy way to insulate a shipping container. The insulation can be applied as thick as needed with an R-Value of about R-6 per inch. Spray foam is the perfect material for coating the corrugated shipping container walls without leaving any gaps.
Foam panels are another amazing option for insulating shipping containers. These panels have an R-Value of about R-5 and can be glued onto the walls of the shipping container or screwed onto an affixed flat bar.
The foam panels are available in many sizes and thicknesses. Schedule a free assessment and quote with our certified technicians in order to determine which panels are right for your project.
Fiberglass insulation is most commonly used in shipping containers which are utilized as a container office or home. The R-Value for fiberglass insulation is about R-13 per 3 1/2″ of thickness. Once the insulation is installed, the walls are then finished with a fiber compressed and factory primed cement board (HardiePanel®) or a fiberglass reinforced plastic plywood (FRP).
