Keeping shipping container free from excess humidity – Installing shipping container wall panels

07 December, 2022

A shipping container is a metal box that is made of steel, reusable and is used to transport manufactured goods and products from one location to another. The dimension and the structure of these containers alter depending on the product that will be shipped. There are shipping boxes like a tank, flat rack, open top, dry storage, ventilated and open side. The standard sizes of these containers are usually 20 ft and 40 ft in length, 8 ft wide and 8.5 feet in height. The shipping containers are continuously exposed to various elements and survive saltwater attacks and changing climates. Though the corrugated steel body is known for anti-corrosive and structural properties, you can add a shipping container wall panel layer.

Shipping containers have come a long way and have undergone immense development and modernization. Condensation takes place when air reaches the ‘dew point.’ The walls of the shipping container become cool while the air inside the space becomes warm. This results in the water content in the atmosphere to condensate as it turns into a liquid state from a vapor state. The liquid builds up and sits on the surface of the container’s metal body. With time, the moisture drips on the cargo which causes damage. 

Using ventilation and dehumidifier

Ventilation prevents condensation by equalizing the interior and exterior temperatures of the container. The warm air is removed by ventilation and the air of the same temperature is drawn in. This is done to stabilize the humidity levels inside the shipping container. If you have been using the container for a long time, use dehumidifiers. But there is a lot of hassle as they must be emptied daily. 

Save the container from condensation

Most shipping container walls are made of drywall, they get affected by condensation. Install shipping container wall panels to save the walls and ceiling from any moisture damage. The panels are completely water-resistant, so they arrest any excess moisture that might damage the walls and ceiling in the long run. The vinyl panels are coated with an antibacterial layer that prevents mold growth and mildew on the surface of the walls and ceiling. The waterproofing quality is one of the most important qualities of PVC panels. Vinyl boards are ideal for all other humidity-prone commercial and residential interiors.

Duramax PVC panel installation – simple and affordable

The installation process is simple and requires no additional charges for purchasing materials or hiring labor. The panels are cut to shape before the installation. PVC boards are fixed to the studs with fasteners that are not visible. The shipping container wall panels do not have backers, so there is no fear of moisture penetration through the panels. They have tongues and grooves in interlocking patterns, making the installation easier. Leave the shipping container out for a short time because the installation is completed within 7 to 8 hours. A single professional can install the panels inside a shipping container. 

Simple and easy maintenance

Your shipping container does not require expensive upkeep. The PVC panels have a smooth surface that does not attract dirt or impurities. There is no scope for bacteria, mold or mildew beneath the shipping container ceiling panels. There is no need to clean the vinyl sheets daily, but an occasional cleaning is good. Wipe the surface gently with a cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Wash the surface of the panels and do not worry about moisture seepage into the walls and ceiling. 

Duramax – manufacturing panels in the USA

Duramax is well-known for manufacturing vinyl panels in the USA. We have been designing panels for more than 40 years. The panels are ASTM-certified, CFIA-certified and FDA-compliant. We install panels inside grow rooms, restaurants, commercial kitchens, laundries, poultries, dairy parlors, hospitals, warehouses, shipping containers, etc. The panels are non-porous and are made of premium-quality raw vinyl. 

Abuse and impact-resistant PVC panels

Duramax shipping container ceiling panels are ½ inch thick, 16 inches wide and have varying lengths. The boards are white, they do not fade or become yellowish as time passes. This is a unique characteristic of vinyl panels. The boards can be painted using PVC-grade paint if you want colorful panels. Do not install FRP boards if you are attracted to colorful panels because they tend to fade away easily. The PVC boards are robust so they resist impacts and abuses. The panels also ensure chemical spillage, stains and odor. The vinyl sheets are non-toxic, environment-friendly and can be recycled several times. The lightweight PVC ceiling sheets can be transported easily without heavy transportation charges.
