Storage Container 101 - Types of Insulation Methods for Dummies

By

Are you planning to make some modifications? Are you planning to add insulation to your container? Making modifications in your container is a great way to optimize usage and make it more valuable for you. There are many ways a storage container can be modified. However, we’ll discuss a few common ways in which you can insulate your storage container.

Polystyrene Panels

Polystyrene panels are another common form of insulation. They’re great for space saving as compared to fiberglass insulation. This is because polystyrene panels can be directly attached to the corrugated walls of the container and don’t need a separate wooden panel for proper installation. These panels are available in different widths and lengths and can be customized in shape to install in the storage container. However, polystyrene has a lower melting point and hence moisture and condensation can be an issue in the long run.

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is one of the most widely used methods of insulation. The glass thickness is usually around 3.5 inches and provides top quality insulation value. The glass is cut according to the measurement and fitted well into place. It is fitted in the wooden interior. It’s possible that there is going to be a gap between the insulation material and the ridged walls of the container. In such cases, it is recommended to install a moisture panel between the wall and insulation to make the insulation more effective.

Closed Cell Spray Foam

Closed cell spray foam is of the top most quality in terms of providing efficiency in insulation. It offers the most insulation value. The cell spray form works as a full cover; it does not leave any empty spaces between the insulation and corrugated wall of the container. This prevents any moisture from making its way into the insulation and creating a condensation problem. The spray can be applied as much as required (thin or thick, depending on how much is needed to fill the gap). While this method is certainly most efficient and provides high insulation value, it has a similar price tag attached to it.

All three ways of insulation are useful and provide efficient insulation, it depends on your budget, usage and other specifications. If you’re perplexed about the type insulation you should get for your storage containers in Philadelphia, then it’s a good idea to get in touch with a reputable dealer. Storage container modification is not a tough job for most mechanics and auto shops. It is recommended to only get your container customized from the dealer you bought your storage container from. A trusted dealer will provide you good quality material and do a fine job that offers value and efficiency.
