Shipping containers is not a new concept but it has undergone immense development. Now these containers are modern and are available in various capacities. These containers are used for good storage for the purpose of transportation. The material used and the dimension keeps changing depending on products that will be shipped inside the containers.

Condensation inside a container

Since a shipping container stores various types of goods, you should be cautious about dampness and humidity. Condensation can be a tough battle that you have to win. This process happens when the air inside reaches its dew point. The walls are filled with cool air while the rest of the space is filled with warm air. The water present in the atmosphere condenses turning into liquid state from the water vapor state. There are droplets on the metal surface that can drip and damage the cargo.

PVC panel is the right solution

There are different types of containers available and the standard sizes are 20 ft to 40 ft in length, 8 to 10 feet wide and they have a height of 8 to 9 feet. These containers are made of corrugated steel that is anti-corrosive in nature. There are various ways to maintain a shipping container like proper ventilation, insulation, dehumidification but why not install shipping container wall panels for a permanent protection. The walls and ceiling should not be just painted and bare. There is no other covering that is a full proof solution apart from PVC panels. Drywall, tiles, plywood or FRP have been proved weaker compared to PVC sheets because they cannot stand moisture.

Single-day installation

The installation process is hassle-free and requires no extra charges for getting materials or hiring labor. We use the materials given with the kit for the installation. The panels are cut to the right shape before initiating the installation. PVC panels are fixed to the studs with fasteners and screws that are not made visible to retain the look of the panels. The shipping container wall panels do not have backers. This arrests moisture penetration through the surface of the panels. They have tongues and grooves in interlocking patterns for simple installation. The installation process is completed within 7 to 8 hours by one local contractor.

No daily cleaning or maintenance needed

Your shipping container does not require daily maintenance after you have installed PVC panels. The shipping container ceiling panels have a smooth surface that does not attract impurities or microorganisms. Wipe the surface gently with a cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Wash the surface of the panels and do not worry about humidity seeping into the surface of the ceilings and walls.

100% waterproof PVC panels

You need a waterproof vinyl panel for protecting the shipping container interior. Duramax panels are 100% waterproof because the surface of the panels is technically manufactured in a way that no moisture can settle on it. The walls and ceiling inside remain dry, protected and in good condition for many years. Duramax PVC sheets are also layered with an anti-mold covering. This prevents the formation of mold and mildew on the surface of the panels. So, these panels are ideal for residential and commercial areas. No other material has waterproof qualities compared to vinyl panels. Majority of the containers are made of drywall and the interior has suffered due to condensation.
