I am watching this after many years, but isn't there going to back at gap on the edges of the floating floor? Would it be wise to instead use spray foam after setting down the insofast boards on the edges or perimeter of the now giant rectangle, then drill in the boards? Thanks
It would be nice if there were panels you could install on the underside of a container, I resorted to cutting 2" foam panels to fit between the floor rails. That made it easier to have a level door entry.

Yes. The floor panels are our flat panels the EXi 2.5 or the UX 2.0 Here is a web page link from our website that can help: www.insofast.com/resources/insulation-panels-for-interior-residential-floors-ceilings.html

When you pull an ice-cold drink out of a foam cooler on a humid summer day, you will almost immediately notice condensation forming on the sides of the can. This is exactly what happens to the cold walls of a container. Warm air meets cold can, (condensation). If you take the same insulation from the foam cooler and you wrap it onto a shipping container wall, the condensation is controlled. The engineered insulation, (EPS - Expanded Polystyrene) that InSoFast panels use helps prevent water from passing through its solid material and collecting and forming on the surface of the shipping container. One of the most common uses of our insulation is for transporting perishable food items and medical supplies. (EPS - Expanded Polystyrene) is used for ice chests, foam coolers, and are held to the highest standards of quality. Independent Testing Laboratories clearly prove measure and control the level of temperature protection you should expect from thick-walled ice chests. InSoFast work effectively just applied that proven technology to shipping container conversion technology? InSoFast has application in place from the jungles of Africa to the Arctic Circle, we are pretty sure that EPS will work just fine in Europe.
Yes it can, there are less expensive alternatives for the outside under side of a container. InSoFast molds a stud into the panel for attaching finishes. The underside of a container may not need finishing or protection from the elements. A 2 pound density spray foam on the outside of a container where appearence and off-gassing is less of an issue is a better choice. www.epa.gov/saferchoice/potential-chemical-exposures-spray-polyurethane-foam The one consideration is the thermal bridging from the steel floor beams, this is a good video for you to review, 2 R's Won't Make Your U: Improving Thermal Performance ua-cam.com/video/EATTkrGlOa8/v-deo.html
That is a preference at times gluing the panels helps shim and level the floor. Container floors are pretty flat and you have the advantage and benefit of gravity working for you.
Don't fasten anything to the walls.. Wasted time & issues prescribed! Use the ceiling beams holding wall construction in place. Eventually a few diagonal screw in the floor.. It is a fixed house, not a moving construction.
This is awesome stuff! The description mentions a fully adhered method for tiled floors, are there any video examples of this or instructions on your website?

Styrofoam is a brand name for Dow, InsoFast is made from EPS expanded polystyrene. We are not drilling through the floor. The method we are useing is called a floating floor it is tied together, "screwed to the panels with decking screws," so it is one large panel or floor held in place by gravity. We don't like poking holes into a container. Think of it like it is a big wood carpet with a foam backer. www.insofast.com/explore/shipping-container-installing-ux-2-0-or-ex-2-5-panels-on-the-floor.html
Mal echo, en las uniones de suelo con pared hay fisuras sin tapar, fuga de calor, entrada de la misma y entrada de frio y posible condensacion. En las juntas se deberia de aplicar espuma de poliretano en spray.
Si le preocupa el piso, aplique un recubrimiento epóxico de sellado al aire para cubrir las juntas existentes del piso y la pared del contenedor. Es mejor reparar todas las fugas de aire antes de instalar el aislamiento. No recomendamos rociar espuma de poliuretano en las juntas de la placa de espuma.

Hey Inso folks, could you do this floor first? Before the walls? Assuming the container is 8 feet wide, then not cutting plywood right?
This guy is working about 5x faster than I can
The video is sped up, for sure.
And me.
Love what you can do with this. Glad i found your channel. HogOn
Awesome! Thank you! We try to answer questions when the come up.

Did you remove the floor or did you flip the container to access it from underneath?

Hey folks, what are the thinnest panels you have with the built in studs I can use for a container floor?
Our thinnest is the 2" Panel!

What about condensation between panels and the container!? How effective is the isolation in European continental type of environment? Thanks.

Can Insofast be installed on the under side of the container? I want to retain the look of the original floor and don't want to cover it up.

So for the walls you suggest to glue the panels to the wall. So for the floor installation do you not recommend for it to be glued?
That is a preference at times gluing the panels helps shim and level the floor. Container floors are pretty flat and you have the advantage and benefit of gravity working for you.

Use the ceiling beams holding wall construction in place.

Hello Sir,
Does it good for hotel ?what will be the interior theme?

where can I buy the blueprints of that house
Sorry no prints are available.
would this work in a metal shed for the walls
Consider necessary ventilation & eventual heating. Moisture is the issue, causing corrosion, rot and mould/mildew.
isn't that styrofoam? and are you drilling into the flooring or just the styrofoam nails look pretty short

Is this the same as the walls
It is the same as the ceiling panel UX 2.0 www.insofast.com/resources/insulation-panels-for-interior-residential-floors-ceilings.html
The same as the ceiling panel the UX 2.0
How thick is the one for the floors? I'm definitely interested.
Are these available in alaska
