You’ll likewise require to install a great vapour barrier to the warm side of the insulation to prevent moisture entering contact with the steel of your container home.

At which point you ‘d get condensation forming which might trigger rust to the steel and reduce the effectiveness of your insulation. In my viewpoint the very best method to insulate a container homes is to utilize one of the closed cell spray foam insulations readily available. My thinking for this is the spray foam will bond to the unequal surface of the ribbed steel walls/roof meaning there are no air voids for condensation to form on.
