Insulation & lining

Container insulation and lining elevates both function and style. Our solutions offer versatility, transforming spaces into offices, workshops, or storage areas.

Transform Your Space: Insulation & Lining Solutions

Lining your container involves adding an interior layer to enhance functionality and aesthetics. Our lining solutions offer versatility, transforming your container into a comfortable and functional space suitable for various purposes. Whether you need to create a cozy office environment, a durable workshop, or a secure storage area, our options cater to diverse needs.

Ply lining

Shipping container ply lining

Ply lining, available in either 9mm or 12mm thickness, offers a versatile solution for container interiors. When combined with 25mm PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation, the plywood lining provides durable protection against wear and tear while ensuring excellent thermal performance.

This combination enhances the structural integrity of the container and creates a comfortable interior environment suitable for various applications, from offices to workshops.

Alternatively, ply lining without insulation offers a clean and durable finish, ideal for applications where thermal insulation is not a priority but interior durability and aesthetics are paramount. This option provides cost-effective and practical solutions for various uses, allowing for easy customisation according to specific requirements.

Vinyl Faced Ply

Shipping container vinyl based ply

Vinyl face ply, paired with 25mm PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation, combines durability with ease of maintenance. This solution offers the robustness of plywood along with a sleek vinyl surface that is both easy to clean and visually appealing. The insulation properties of PIR ensure efficient thermal performance, reducing heat loss or gain and providing a comfortable environment inside the container. Ideal for environments requiring hygiene standards, the vinyl face ply with PIR insulation offers a practical and modern interior finish.

Alupanel

Alupanel, composed of 9mm plywood with a tin aluminum ply, is specifically designed for food storage or preparation areas. This lining option ensures compliance with hygiene regulations, offering a food-safe finish that is easy to clean and maintain.

The aluminum layer provides additional protection against corrosion and damage, making it suitable for heavy-duty use in commercial settings. Alupanel offers structural strength, durability, and hygiene, making it an ideal choice for containers used in the food industry.

Rockwool Insulation

Shipping container rockwool insulation

Rockwool insulation, installed with timber battens, provides superior fire resistance and sound insulation properties. This solution is designed to enhance safety and comfort within the container. Rockwool offers excellent thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer and energy costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

The timber battens provide structural support and prevent direct contact between the insulation and the container walls, reducing the risk of condensation and mould growth. Ideal for applications requiring fire safety and noise reduction, rockwool insulation with timber battens ensures a secure and efficient container interior.

Container insualtion and lining solutions serve as the foundation for a myriad of container conversions, including offices, welfare units, retail spaces, and pop-up shops.

Whether combined with insulation for thermal control or used standalone for durability and aesthetics, our versatile lining options offer endless possibilities for customisation. With lining as the cornerstone, our container conversions are tailored to meet diverse needs and deliver functional, innovative spaces for various applications.
