Insulation Metal Container Project in Excelsior Springs, MO
At KS Spray Foam Insulation, we recently completed an exciting project in Excelsior Springs, MO, where we had the opportunity to insulate a metal shipping container. This was a commercial installation, and we focused on enhancing the energy efficiency and durability of the container by applying closed cell spray foam insulation and an acrylic coating.
What Work Was Performed
For this project, we supplied and installed an average of 2 inches of closed cell polyurethane foam over the entire exterior of the container, including the walls, floors, and roof. This provided an impressive R-14 value, ensuring excellent thermal resistance. Additionally, we applied a white acrylic coating over the foam to protect it from UV light, which is crucial for maintaining the longevity and performance of the insulation.
Why This Solution Was Chosen
Closed cell spray foam was the ideal choice for this shipping container due to its superior insulating properties and its ability to adhere to metal surfaces effectively. The foam creates a seamless barrier that not only insulates but also strengthens the structure. The acrylic coating was selected for its protective qualities, shielding the foam from harmful UV rays and environmental wear.
How It Benefits the Homeowner or Building
By insulating the shipping container with closed cell spray foam, we’ve significantly improved its energy efficiency. This means reduced heating and cooling costs for the owner, as well as a more comfortable environment inside the container. The added acrylic coating ensures that the insulation remains effective over time by protecting it from UV degradation. This combination of materials helps maintain the container’s structural integrity and extends its lifespan.
What Makes This Project Successful
This project is a success due to the careful selection and application of materials that meet the specific needs of the shipping container. Our use of closed cell spray foam and acrylic coating not only provides superior insulation but also enhances the durability and energy efficiency of the container. By choosing KS Spray Foam Insulation, our client benefited from a professional installation that will serve them well for years to come.
