Any advice on how to fix a container house with tubing frames that are now dripping like crazy in the winter due to thermal bridging and condensation? We did drill holes and thought our spray foam guys filled them, but we are finding they are not full. If we do fill the tubes with foam, will that stop the condensation?

@TheContainerGuyTV 6 ай бұрын

No, it won't stop it. It might marginally help by keeping the cold air out of the inside of the tube. The steel is a conductor and will transfer cold/hot freely whether there's foam inside or not. You should not be able to see the tubing from inside. If it is exposed, you haven't finished the interior up to the actual window properly. You need 2" of foam against the tubing then finish over that. If your house isn't spray foamed, it'll be doing that in your walls as well which is going to cause health problems or constant fatigue. I had black mold in my bedroom growing up and once we spray foamed our basement, it made a world of difference.

Should blast prior to welding in place. Can even prime with weld-through primer immediately after blast, too. The tubing is the strongest frame and an inner flange/lip to foam to and provide a thermal break is easily installed to get optimal results, especially if using triple pane windows in extruded glass filled polymer frames. I'm a retired Industrial Design Engineer and these types of issues were all in a day's work for me. Good to see young craftsmen at work!

@TheContainerGuyTV Жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, I hear ya. We have a 4ft blast cabinet and I wanted the guys to blast them ahead of time but the compressor wasn't working that day. You should check out some of our other videos and frame designs that have way less thermal bridging than NAAMM commercial steel door frames. Our window kits allow the spray foam to come right up to the vinyl window (perfect vapor barrier) which is an argument to stick with vinyl although I want to play around with sealed glass units. For another project unrelated to shipping containers, we're working on a thermally broke, extruded aluminum sealed glass window frame design that is going to be amazing, but nobody would pay for it on a container mod.

@pat36a Жыл бұрын

How do you blast the inside of the tube ? Not very well . Then how do you seal the inside of the tube ? I don't understand why they need square tubing to begin with .

@fixingscreens7075 Жыл бұрын

@@pat36a Number one reason its done is that engineers feel its easy way to weld continuously to the corrugations, plus you can weld plates to carry flanges, bulkhead connectors and electrical connectors and so on. The sheet metal window frames address the building envelope thermal bridging issues but there need to be thicker metal versions that can allow the welding of a plate on the inside. Then that plate makes it easy to carry any pipe or electrical connector. Plus its recessed so you can have outside weather covers.

Don't like rust, start out with new steel tubing(not something from a scrap yard that's been laying on the ground outside). After the frame is fabricated and welded in place to container side. Drill a small hole in each corner and fill with expanding spray foam. You'll have 2'' of spray foam inside window frames.

@TysonCapel23 Жыл бұрын

If you do a proper cut, clean, weld, primer, and paint job, you are not going to have problems with the frame rusting. Spray the frame and weld with phosphoric acid, and it will neutralize any rust. It also acts as a primer. Most people don't take the time to do it right.

@kumark214 Жыл бұрын

Exactly. This is the normal method of container repairs approved and it is certified for marine use. If you don’t do a good job of surface preparation, weld and proper primer and paint job then it will rust. That’s not the problem with the method but the execution.

@SPECTREapparel 11 ай бұрын

Correct, Seems to be a scare tactic into getting folks to buy something they dont need. These containers are no longer traveling the salt water seas so the rust factor drops depending on your location. The thought anyone thinks they will live longer than these take to rust when properly prepped is BS craziness.

@TheContainerGuyTV 8 ай бұрын

It's been a long road to get to where we are now. We had to start with modelling shipping containers from scratch so our FEA analysis actually works. We can then run all the theoretical calculations for the structural engineer and show the stress analysis. This is a tremendous amount of time savings for them and gets them off on the right foot. They can then analyze the vertical (web) portion of the sheet metal profile in conjunction with the corrugations that are left remaining to calculate the span characteristics. We've cut a lot of holes into the sides of containers and know where our frames have "failed" in the past. It's starting to feel like second nature nowadays around our engineering office on what gauge thickness to choose and the size of web required for X span. Another huge thing to consider is converting the container to a container-based structure. Containers have way higher wind loads and snow loads than a building needs in most areas so you can weaken the overall structure and still have a high safety factor.

Would not recommend spray foam, it catches fire easily. Using bat insulation is the way to go, but you can't lay it against the container walls, first put a vapor protection over the steel way then lay the bat insulation over it

@TheContainerGuyTV Жыл бұрын

Here is a video for you to watch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n56VgNKJssyZY2Q.html Vapour barriers must be on the inside of the wall system. Poly vapour barriers and batt insulation needs a wall cavity that breathes. The steel container does not breathe. I would NEVER use anything other than spray foam. A wall system as you suggest will create condensation between the container and vapour barrier and the batt insulation will act as a filter, not insulation.

I really dont think spraying foam inside is a good idea. You have isocyanate's gassing off for a few years and you will be breathing them. After Katrina the US house thousands of people in trailers and they got sick after a few months from the chemical's inside. I you are planning to live in a container you have to understand that is a watertight structure, so any chemicals in construction materials WILL impact your heath. You can spray Hemp for start on the inside, (expensive but the best) and foam on the outside. that will give you the ideal R insulation rating. If they would have insulated from the outside, the window framing would not be an issue. The frame s would be buried in the foam. That guy is obviously not qualified to discuss this topic.

@@chucknorris277 is ALWAYS right. The health of the breaker panels and exhaust fans will not be adversely affected in this structure. If I was to build a container home, I would encapsulate the container in spray foam from the outside then finish the exterior to blend in with surrounding infrastructure. I am the guy in the video and I am qualified to provide the public my opinion, experience, and wisdom. There are few people on the planet with more practical experience than myself.

@@TheContainerGuyTV what would the advantage of having a container house with such quantity of steel in your walls and then encapsulate it with spray foam in the exterior which you will need to frame to cover it?. It sounds like repetitive and duplicate work and materials, a lot of money, a lot of labor hours.
