Melamine Lined Shipping Containers
The Wipe Clean Alternative to Ply Lining
Melamine is used as an alternative to ply wood in the process of insulating containers. Lining and insulating provides warmth for containers that are used for working in, and the wipe clean surface of melamine makes it a popular choice for containers used in the catering and food preparation industry. It also provides a neat and professional looking finish for
office conversions, and a hygienic, easy to maintain interior for changing rooms and toilet blocks. We offer two colours as standard - beige on white, or white on white.
Fitting melamine lining
The first step is to build our timber framework. We build this to fit snug within the corrugation, with the two sides supporting the roof, meaning we never pierce the skin of the container. The container is then insulated with rockwool, to retain heat, and we overlay with 8mm melamine panels and finish with white trim. These provide a hygienic washable surface for your container.
Please note: there is a surcharge over standard prices for lining for any additional container doors, apertures and for high cube containers. The internal height of the container will be reduced with melamine lining.
