If you’re working with a shipping container, insulation is one of the most important considerations. There are several options available, but one of the most effective is closed cell polyurethane spray foam insulation.
Polyurethane spray foam delivers one of the highest insulation values available, approximately R-6 per inch. It expands to fully adhere to the interior surface of the container walls, creating a seamless barrier with no gaps—unlike fiberglass or rigid board insulation. This tight seal helps prevent air leaks, while significantly reducing the risk of condensation and moisture buildup inside the container.
Insulating a shipping container can be challenging due to limited space and the metal structure’s tendency to transfer heat and cold. Closed cell spray foam provides a compact, high-performance solution, making it ideal for maintaining temperature control and protecting the integrity of the container.
