Insulation
Keeping Your Container Comfortable Year-Round
If you’re using a shipping container for anything other than dry storage, insulation is a must.
Why Insulate a Shipping Container?
-
Temperature Control: Keeps the interior warm in winter and cool in summer.
-
Condensation Prevention: Reduces moisture buildup.
-
Soundproofing: Adds an extra layer of noise reduction.
Insulation is crucial when converting a container into a workspace or living space. Without it, the metal walls of the container conduct heat and cold, making the interior unbearable in extreme weather conditions. By adding proper insulation, you create a more stable and livable environment.
Common insulation methods include closed-cell spray foam, fiberglass batting, and rigid foam panels. Each option has its advantages—spray foam, for example, provides an airtight seal that prevents moisture buildup, while rigid foam panels offer excellent thermal performance.
Best Applications for Insulation
-
Offices & Living Spaces: Essential for climate control.
-
Cold Storage Units: Maintain a consistent temperature for perishable goods.
-
Soundproofed Workspaces: Reduce noise pollution in industrial areas.
