Shipping containers are conex boxes that store goods for transportation in trucks, boats, trains. This facilitates intermodal transportation. These containers are used to transport palletized goods and heavy materials. The structure, dimension and material of shipping containers change depending on the product that will be shipped. Some of the common shipping container types are dry storage, open top, refrigerated, tanks, flat rack, open side and ventilated. These containers safeguard the cargo from harsh weather and shocks. These were developed for commercial purposes long ago. Shipping containers have come a long way so there has been a lot of development and modernization. Recently shipping containers are not used for just transportation. The latest trend is retrofitting the container into living spaces or commercial ones.

Vinyl panels do not let moisture enter the walls

Bare walls and ceiling are not something your shipping container must have. They remain enclosed and are prone to moisture seepage. Install shipping container wall panels to insulate, waterproof and improve the aesthetics. The walls of these containers can be made of drywall, plywood or FRP panels. None of these are permanent solutions because these coverings usually undergo wear and tear. The movement of shipping containers result in constant movement due to which vibrations are caused in the inner walls that result in cracks inside. Also, these coverings are not suitable for humid interiors. PVC panels can be a lifetime solution for the humid and moist shipping container walls and ceiling.

How about installing white vinyl panels inside?

Duramax manufactures only white color shipping container wall panels that do not get dirty or discolored. White panels remain very white without becoming yellowish. FRP panels are available in multicolor but they fade out easily. Duramax panels are light-reflective so you can save your energy bills to some extent upon installing these. Only a few LED lights can light up the space adequately. We recommend not to use ceiling lights as it could hamper the panels.

The installation process explained

Are you already planning to install shipping container wall panels? There is no need to spend extra money on purchasing materials or hiring many laborers. The panels can be installed quickly and easily by one contractor. The boards are cut precisely before the installation. The sheets are fixed to the walls with the help of the studs. They have no backers so the walls do not attract any humidity. The boards have tongues and grooves that interlock, making the installation process easier. You do not have to evacuate the container for a long period of time as the installation is completed on the same day within 7 to 8 hours.

The maintenance is super simple

Are you scared of expensive maintenance because you are adding a layer of extra covering? Vinyl panels have a smooth surface that does not allow impurities to accumulate. No bacteria or microorganisms can reside beneath the panels. Cleaning is not a regular task because they do not look dirty or old. You can wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a cleaning agent. Do not use acids, bleaches, or any other harsh agents. Once a while cleaning is sufficient so you do not need to hire a separate team for maintenance. You can wash the panels if there is any spillage or you feel like washing. There is no need to worry because your panels and walls are safe from moisture seepage. The shipping container ceiling panels add hygiene to your interior by avoiding any odor or stains.
