Types of Insulation for a Shipping Container

Insulating commercial shipping containers has become a much more common practice in recent years. Not only does shipping container insulation protect your cargo from temperature extremes and humidity, it also can prolong the lifespan of the container itself! To meet this need, there are three major forms of insulation commonly in use. And the experts at Installed Building Products Houston can supply them all!

Insulation for Shipping Containers

The three insulation types we use for shipping containers each serve specific purposes, as well as providing unique benefits. We supply:

• Spray foam insulation. Spray foam provides a comprehensive solution to meet your insulation needs. Sprayed in wet, the product expands to fully seal cracks and spaces throughout the entire container. Spray foam defends the contents of your container from both temperature extremes and moisture, keeping your cargo safe for any occasion or location. This option is one of the most widely used, and generally considered the best insulation protection you can get for shipping containers and commercial use.
• Fiberglass insulation. Available in batt and blown-in fiberglass, a thermal barrier is created within a boxed enclosure. Fiberglass is very cost-effective, quick to install and generally suits many commercial uses well. It is an option to create a moisture barrier within the insulation walls, and our team can provide that service as well!
• Rigid foam. Panels of solid foam are cut to fit your container, installed either via a glue solution or by installing them along side bars in the container. Rigid foam is often chosen to save space within the container, as it tends to free up inches of valuable storage space when used.
