The bottom line
Payment, plainly
We do not offer financing. Payment is by bank transfer in full, port-to-port. Insulation and interior fit-out are usually done locally after delivery, so budget them as site costs on your side.
The bottom line
Insulation is where a container home becomes a real home. Spend properly here and you will never think about it again. Cut it and you will think about it every season.
Insulate, barrier, then line. In that order.

The vapour barrier is the cheap part that prevents the expensive problem. Without it, warm moist air meets cold steel and condenses inside the wall, where you cannot see it until the damage is done.

Insulation has to be covered. That means framing or battens, a vapour barrier, and then wall board or panelling. Buyers who price only the insulation are always surprised by the lining cost that follows.

As a rule of thumb, budget a four-figure number for the insulation itself on a full unit, then add interior wall lining on top.

Rigid foam board is the common middle option: cheaper than spray foam, still good performance if the panels are fitted tightly. Mineral wool or glass wool is the budget route and works, but it does not stop thermal bridging at the steel ribs on its own.

Spray foam gives the best seal and the highest R-value per inch, and it also stiffens the shell. It costs the most, typically a few thousand dollars for a full 20ft or 40ft interior.

A shipping container is a steel box. In summer it turns into an oven; in winter it bleeds heat straight through the walls. Bare steel also condenses moisture, which is how you get rust and mold inside a unit that looked fine at the factory.
