Insulate a cargo container with a ceramic paint additive.
Cargo containers are large steel boxes that are loaded onto shipping freighters and trains. They are designed to be easily stacked on top of one another, as well as hold large amounts of weight. Though cargo containers are intended for shipping, they are sometimes used as ad-hoc garages or home storage spaces. No matter the intended use of a cargo container, they can have their walls insulated to keep in either warmth or cold. Standard fiberglass insulation doesn?t hold up well to the sometimes harsh environment cargo containers withstand. Instead, a coat of insulating paint can be added to the container?s interior.
Instructions
1. Add the insulating additive to a gallon of paint in the ratio recommended by your particular additive?s instructions.
2. Mix the paint and the additive with the paint stirrer. Make sure that this is done thoroughly, so that there are no clumps of additive in the paint, and it appears entirely smooth. Make any paint insulate Save 20% on your utility bills
3. Paint the inside walls of the cargo container with the paint brush or spray. Make sure the cargo container?s doors are wide open when you are doing this. If you do not have adequate ventilation, you could become ill from the paint?s fumes.
4. Allow the paint to dry overnight.

Time was that trading in storage containers was straight forward.? Like many, we came into the business from the freight industry, knowing our way around containers and where we could buy the from when the shipping lines were finished with them.? It was all nice and straight forward.? Shipping lines bought lots of containers every year to use for cargo and they depreciated them every year until they had a low book value then when they arrived somewhere where there was a demand – they sold them.? There was a small market for secure site storage.? Then of course, people started making things with them, like anti-vandal cabins and later on self-storage using shipping containers came along.? In the meantime, the quality of containers increased dramatically and the storage and site services users demanded higher quality and there were some manufacturers that were only too happy to oblige and manufactured containers. The upshot is that there is a real mix of containers in the storage and site services market and those in the container resale business have to keep a sharp eye on how things are changing.
We now buy containers from shipping lines and?manufacturers as well as buying them back from customers and also buying from auction sites.?Types of containers have changed and expanded too.? As well as the 20ft, we can get up to the 48ft., reefers, half-heights, open tops, refrigerated, flatracks and others.

New ones and single trip containers for re-sale and storage were few and far between but that changed a few years back and re-sale of new containers became mainstream.
We are finding many more containers available on sites?as people either go out of business or look to cash in on assets that are no longer needed.? We have found ourselves buying back many that we have sold previously ? and thankfully most of them are still in good nick!? A credit to our painters.? We like to keep a range in stock so we are just as happy to buy back a used unit as we are to buy in new ones ? depending on customer requirements.? Whatever type of unit we supply we try to make sure it meets our customers requirements at the right price.

Many people mistakenly think that residential storage containers are only useful for those who are moving. On the contrary, storage units can be used year-round and come in handy when you least expect it. All homeowners alike can agree?there?s always a need for more room.
Here are 3 unique storage container uses you probably didn?t think of.
Outdoor Furniture Storage
In order to increase the lifetime of your outdoor furniture, it?s recommended that it be stored away during parts of the year and protected from harsher weather. While Phoenix storage containers may not have to protect your furniture from the snow, Monsoon season can wreak havoc on your outdoor furniture, and our scorching summer heat can have damaging effects as well. Let your outdoor furniture last by investing in a storage container.
Nursery Furniture Storage
Having a baby is an exciting time. Parents are often filled with joy as they decorate their nursery with cribs, dressers, play pens, and more. Eventually though, that newborn will grow out of the nursery furniture in their room. Parents who plan to have more children are often reluctant to sell or give their nursery furniture away, and rightfully so. With a storage container, you can keep your nursery furniture safe and out of sight until another baby comes along. This investment saves you more money than you think.
Home Remodeling Storage
Remodeling your home always seems like a great idea until you?re halfway through your first paint job and asking yourself, ?Where do I put my stuff while this dries?? Instead of turning your home into a complex obstacle course, place your furniture in a storage container rental. Your furniture will remain paint, scratch, and dent-free while you work on your dream home. Once you?re done, just return the container.
