INSULATION
At Sonic Steel, we’ve set a new standard for shipping container insulation. Tackling the issues of thermal efficiency and condensation build-up head on, our priority is to address the challenges faced by many shipping container home enthusiasts.
Our comprehensive approach doesn’t just stop at insulating the metal walls, but also covers the underfloor insulation (which can contribute up to 20% thermal loss), as well as the highly efficient windows and doors, making your container home comfortable regardless of the season.
