Low-cost Insulation Materials for Shipping Container Homes

[@sheltermode]

Which alternative materials would you prefer?

I like the styrofoam method but how reliable is it in a northeast climate

[@willrorajr.2634]

Actually the hempcrete insulation caught my attention... Being able to grow your own insulation for your home is an attractive opportunity. My only question is how well that would work in northern climates like Minnesota... Where double digit below 0 and Triple digit above 0 temperatures are not uncommon....just make it thicker??

hempcrete looks amazing

[@charlesfeng3823]

Issues for container is condensation and thermal bridge.
It will be a win if these 2 issues get solved.

Thanks for the compilation of all the various insulation materials. Having more alternatives to consider besides the usual fiberglass or spray foam is interesting.
Hempcrete looks good

very useful information.

Which material will be good for very noisy environment. Equally important my container home is near the railroad tracks.

This is very informative and helpful.

For the styrofoam panels do they have to each be cut to fit in between each wall rib? Or are there kits that are already pre cut?

A tad difficult to see how rammed earth marries with shipping containers. And if you could manage rammed earth why would you have any need for shipping containers - they are not even in the same league.

How about the cement for insulation??

I love the brick walls

[@sylism5086]

I love the voiceover.

[@exwoodexoyo1404]

How if we use bamboo as heat insulator?

[@kadachiman7234]

Brick on the outside with EPS on the inside (between the ridges) would this stop the condensation/moisture problem?

Container home bueatiful

Thank you

American uses brick to line shipping container walls.
European looks at it, shakes his head and builds a brick house.

[@badawesome3047]

You will never be able to sell a shipping container house for the amount you spent to build it so why bother.
