Painting the inside of a shipping container.

[barcelona]

I recently bought a shipping container to use as storage/workshop.
I had thought about cladding the inside with insulation and ply, but then came accross this paint. http://www.thermilate.com/product-overview/industrial-coatings/warmtouch-handrail-coating
Anyone know if it's any good ?.

You don't seriously think this will actually insulate do you?

Unless you fix insulation to the walls it will be like a cooker in the summer and a freezer in winter. Plus, on cold days and whilst you are working inside, there will be enough condensation produced to fill a fish pond.

When I asked the company about it they assured me it would work.
Wouldnt that be against trade descriptions or something ?

What would be the best way to insulate it ? Materials etc.
Preferably without making holes in it. Could i use no nails or something to attach the batons ? Should I insulate under the batons to stop cold bridging ?

there's b*gger all insulation in that.

it is 'warm touch'
that just means you wont get cold handies on a cold day on railings and metal surfaces.

It will NOT insualte a building / shed / container.

If it would, building would be a whole lot simpler!
There is a reason insulation is quite thick - even the high performance stuff (excepting foils etc that polarise opinion)

sheet and board it.

better still - board it OUTSIDE with a weatherboard finish, rather than inside. More room inside, and less condensation.
