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.
