Fully agree with the flash and batt method Another help to those in hot climates is White painted roofs As it does not absorb heat like darker colors

Great and informative information. And I appreciate how you got straight to the point. Thank you!

Great video! I’d like to see a comparison of all 5 insulation types, and the bonus type. Temp outside vs inside, cost of materials, time to install, etc. Maybe some thermal camera shots too please.

I’m Zone 2, 100* for 6mo a year. It’s InsoFast outside clad in board & batten. Inside it’s 2.5” of closed cell spray foam, 1.5” air gap, then advanced framing wall with staggered studs and insulation. Goal is passive house standards, minimize heat gain, noise abatement. Each exterior container is double width, so losing a few inches is irrelevant.

Excellent video, lots of great information, how many vents are required for rock wool batting?

The Goat always dropping gems!!

Great info, thanks for sharing. I live in the carribean and we get 11-13ft of rain per year and the climate is 75-88 degrees Farenheit all year-round. What do you recommend for my container framing and insulation? Steel or wood framing? Best insulation for jungle humid environment?

I suggest a vapper barrier prior to any of the 5. What I was planning to use is a product called "super therm". It's a ceramic that can be applied on the exterior and interior. And if your intent is to build a home. And clad the exterior with other materials. This would be a great way to insulate. Thanks for the great videos by the way!

Hey man, thanks for the solid content. Just bought a beat up 40hc and I’m learning a lot. I have a question, I’m in south Florida and the heat is my only enemy, it never gets cold enough here to worry about. Have you ever tested radiant heat barrier with an air gap for heat differentials with and without?

Curious on how the battens are installed. Are they screwed on or are the glued on to the container walls. Is that what the studd brackets are for?

on the double wide video u welded steel to the long side base on the other video you say only to brace the corner please explain why

Very informative. Have you tried insulating medical facility especially the ones needed lead insulation?

Thanks for sharing this with me 😁👍

You didn't stipulate whether it is open or closed cell foam on the flash and batt method? I'm assuming closed cell foam for the rigid improvement and sealing?

A cost comparison seems like a key factor that was missed. That's a big deal to most folks. Another key factor is the ability to DIY. I've looked for DIY spray foam kits and got sticker shock.

What is your advice for insulating a container home in a hot and humid environment such as an island as Aruba in the Caribbean, where temperatures are between 25C to 35C degrees and lots of salt in the air?

Is there a way to insulate the outside leaving as much room inside as possible?

Why not spray foam the outside which blocks the hot sun from heating up the cold morning metal? You don't loose any inside space. I have been moisture dripped upon by inside spray foam in a container, more than once. And I have also been warm in a steel quonset hut that had about 4" of foam on the outside. ?

Tell us how to solve the mold problem in a naked container. Hot humid air during the day and cool at night equals condensation. Can we use an exhaust fan in the back of the container?

So strange that reefers (refrigerated containers) are not/never/rarely mentioned. You have 4 to 6” of closed cell insulation on all 6 sides with the benefit of a flat heavy duty stainless steel skin on the inside that can be painted, not to mention that the refrigeration unit that can be sold. Why spend all this time and money to do exactly that with other materials? So yes, there is more cutting and welding but this is largely offset by the benefits if the design is smart. Also, reefers are more likely to have transported non toxic materials.

How much to do this to a 40ft container roof price only and then complete price. Boarded up and everything to make it a good r rating.

On the flash and bat method mentioned, what size studs would you use? Since it's 6 in of insulation, would you have to use 2x6s or could you get by with 2x4 somehow?

we can use Thermocol , Polystyrene

Quick question will 2 inch of spray foam on a shipping container will give me a thermal barrier for the temps in Puerto Rico??

Hi, I will be building a bunker and living container on top with 2 retired no cooling system,refrigerated containers . 40 ft any advice have you tried one ,any videos? Thanks

Love the videos.

What 2x4''s do you use inside.

Can we insulate the container from outside?

why use 2x4 on the ceiling if you spray foam?

Can I still use fiberglass without vapor barrier and I’ll be ok ? In a hot climate country btw

It should be a consideration that spray foam is highly flammable Personally I use rockwool inside and out and yes clad the outside as well The idea of a fire taking hold in a tin can is not a chance I will take

just wondering something...if you frame the container in wood or your steel system, which makes the container heavier?

Just reference , what area of the country are you located ? I live in Mid Texas. Wondering what the differences would be compared to something like the Midwest

. Thank you for this video. .2 questions.. 1..what insullation system would you recommend for a wood dry Kiln? .. with moisture being a constant issue from the process of lumber drying? 2.. how can you be contacted? email or phone number..?.. I have already sent an email to the one listed for that covers all the locations you have in Canada on your website but I imagine with the volume you get it.. fell through the cracks.. I have a couple questions concerning the AC Infinity fans ..A.C. customer service has been unable to help.. but I'm thinking you probably will know... I understand you're very busy.. so the questions will be brief. thanks

Hey The Container Guy I am using a container for a tool room and only want it to be Insulate outside. The front will be a cement plate, and styrofoam on a wooden frame between that and the container.. Should i leave space to air between the metal and Insulate? Any other adviser when I do it outside. Thanks for a great channel

Do you habe a video bats and mineral insulation procedure

Curious which video was the wood stud brackets one? I just got 2 containers and live in a hot dry climate so mods are in order for heat

Wow good

Hi @TheContainerGuyTV I’d like to build with a number of containers. 1 - How can I best insulate from the outside, to avoid rust, moisture and the container heating up? 2 - Is it possible to double the width by joining two containers, or does this entirely remove the structural integrity? Thanks!

I'm in Vegas. You only have time to walk in and walk out of a 40 ft container before passing out. The temp gets up to 140 degrees, inside the container. What kind of insulation do you suggest?

Putting studs all over the inside totally defeats the advantage of a shipping container.

I have heard that spray foam is toxic. It’s fine for storage buildings but you don’t want to live in there and breathing that air all day.

✔️ 🔺️

If using the container solely for storage in zone 3, how well would steel studs with mineral rock insulation work? What are your recommendations for insulating a quad side door 40' for storage, especially all 5 doors economically?

"Cementicious"

Once you put studs and all that insulation on the inside you barely have enough room left inside for living space. Better would be studs on the outside, with insulation between them, and then skin the whole thing with plywood and a roof. But now you've built a shed...

This could also be an alternative: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g6hmgNl5ytKdmIU.html

spray foaming is toxic

can you do more in-depth video on insulating with rockwool does it need ventilation ?

space paint developed by nasa, graphs show results on metal usbc r-39 in one coat

why use 2x4 on the ceiling if you spray foam?
