Lining and Insulation for shipping containers

Container lining may be an aesthetic decision or something that is required; for example, it can help with temperature, condensation and sound control. Whatever the reason for lining your container, we can help!

Lining and Insulation Options

A common request for lining a standard storage container is ply lining and insulation, this will help to control big peaks and troughs in the temperature of your container providing a more ambient protective environment for items stored. Shipping containers that have been ply lined have the added benefit of providing a perfect base for fixing other items to without having to penetrate the steel structure of the container making the installation of items like shelving and electrics really simple. If you are considering lining and insulating your container to help to reduce the effects of condensation, a more cost-effective option may be the application of Grafo-Therm, a condensation reducing treatment that can be applied to the ceiling of your container. Speak to one of our container experts who can help you to decide which option would be best for you.

Many of our office, canteen and drying room containers are insulated and finished with a wipe clean lining making them easy to clean.

We have experience in lining shipping containers with a wide range of internal lining options, from plaster board to steel lining. Speak with us to discuss your requirements, we have probably done it before!
