I think you could go a step further and make them structural insulated panels that use your mounting brackets to attach to the cans. You could have say 4 or so different styles to cover most options like L or R side door opening, center door opening, solid wall and finally center window opening.
Hey Channing, I appreciate your informative videos regarding shipping containers. I’m currently in university designing a sustainable shipping container home. What’s your thoughts on hanging insulation panels (cork insulation) on the exterior side? And also, any sustainable materials would you recommend? Thanks for your help - Josh
Sustainable materials are ones that last a LONG time. Building 1 house every 100 years with synthetic products is much more sustainable than a house every 10 years with natural products that rot/decay. The issue the planet needs to resolve right now is a how to make building envelopes and HVAC systems for container homes in each climate zone that actually work. It's all the gaps, cracks, seams, corners that are the difficult part - how do you integrate the floor to the walls? The walls to the ceiling or roof? How does it breathe? Shed moisture? Bugs?
@@TheContainerGuyTV Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s quite difficult to achieve any significant r-value when we start adding large windows/openings etc. I suppose an HVAC system using a solar panel system can offset these heating and cooling issues! Now I want to build my own house using shipping containers once I graduate !
