Just finished installing this system. What you are seeing here is just the installation. In reality you will need to spend a couple hours trimming and shaping the tiles to fit around the various elements of the container (i.e. tie downs, extra structure, dents, etc.). Also, depending upon your ceiling heights, you'll need to trim two rows of tiles so that you have good coverage and don't have a few inches of gap left over. If you have a container that has a side opening door where there is additional structural elements, them even more trimming will be required. To install the side and back walls, and ceiling in a 20' side opening container took me about 20+ labor hours.

One of these would be AWESOME in PR. Since PR imports way more than it exports, you can probably get containers cheap. Done right, you should NOT have any moisture in the walls. If you seal the layers, and get a good tight fit, you will have little to no air in between the insulation and the steel walls. You would be entirely safe from earthquakes too as long as cabinets and shelving units are secured to the walls. With exterior sheathing you could make it look like any other home in PR. You shouldn't need any wood for walls, I'd use steel wall studs. If you are near the coast at all, you will want to make sure any of the exterior is covered by sheathing to prevent salt damage from the ocean air. You could put it up on a concrete footer so that you'd have a sealed crawl space for plumbing access and to prevent bugs and lizards from coming in from underneath. If you support the roof, you could also have concrete poured on top to have the traditional flat roof, that could double as a patio, but you'd need to have an engineer design that just to be safe. One the concrete cures, the roof supports could be removed. Hope this helps.

Cutting and shaping foam is relatively easy and we have quite a few videos on the subject for, "traditional builds, like basements," we haven’t covered dented containers application as of this time.

Given the extremely low space lost, there's not a huge amount to gain and lots to lose. However, insulating the outside ALSO could pay dividends.

@@Kube_Dogyes, lots. As a workshop, rather than a place to live, the needs may be different but the demand on space is just as relevant. The one I worked in was insulated more traditionally, with 2x4 studs and fiberglass. Especially in the winter, we were VERY glad to give up those few inches for the ability to feel our fingers while we work.

Once the sun hits that container and the metal starts expanding you're going to hear a ton of creaking and crackling from those panels.

As with any metal building this can occur. If this concerns you you have the option to insulate the exterior of the container. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aploxq-Aeq_QmLg.html

Cheaper, but not nearly as fast and way more labor intensive. So if you're paying someone to do it, your labor costs will probably make this stuff cheaper.

@insofast-continuous-insulation

Anything can be made to work, most articles about wood fiber insulation advise not to use it for interior or exterior basement-wall insulation unless there is also an impermeable insulation layer to provide dew-point control. Like a basement wall the dew point is on the exterior "metal," an impermeable barrier, and in the wrong place. In this application foam plastics are a better application.

The problem with shipping containers is they will only ever be 2.4m wide no matter what you do. 2.3 if you want it framed and insulated to a minimum . Too narrow to feel comfortable

So these only reduce the volume of moist air in proximity to the walls, not eliminate it. There's still moisture trapped in the wall to rot your drywall backing paper and mold.

@insofast-continuous-insulation

5 жыл бұрын

Yes we can only say we just significantly reduce the potential moisture up against a container wall. The principle behind why we do not have a problem mold behind the drywall has to do with the ability of the wall to dry to the inside. Here is how it works. The barometric pressure on the interior of the container is less than the steel and foam interface due to solar heating. Solar heating will drive any residual moisture through the EPS and Drywall, both materials are vapor permeable so (heat)energy push the vapor through the wall. The moisture will not be trapped behind the drywall causing a mold problem. If you are still concerned with a mold problem use a paperless gypsum wallboard. This would eliminate any food source for mold to survive, no food, no water, no mold. InSoFast has years of successful applications in containers and in "DAMP" basement conditions. Compared to insulating a basement, insulating air tight, water tight, shipping container is way easier to do it right.
