Common questions

Questions people ask about 40ft Insulated Shipping Container containers.

What is an insulated container made of?

Standard corten steel walls with 2-4 inches of polyurethane foam insulation lining the interior. R-value typically 12-20.

Will an insulated container hold cold without a fridge unit?

Briefly — without active cooling, an insulated container slows temperature swings but doesn't generate cold. Pair with a portable AC if you need active cooling.

Can I use an insulated container as a tiny home?

Yes — insulated units are container-home favorites. They save weeks of insulation labor and provide a finished interior wall surface.

How much more do insulated containers cost?

Roughly 50-100% more than standard. Specialty supply varies — call for current pricing.
