The DryBox - Eco Range
The cheaper, greener way to guarantee condensation free containers.
Condensation in steel shipping containers can wreak havoc with the contents, especially during the winter months when temperature drops cause moisture to form inside leading to a drip dripping effect. No one wants to open their storage container to find stains, mould and a musty smell clinging to their belongings!
To combat condensation our experienced joiners have been using the traditional technique of ply ling and insulating containers for over a decade, with highly effective results, and at the same time achieving aesthetically pleasing finishes. However, with budgets increasingly tight and an ever growing recognition of the desirability of reducing our carbon footprint Containers Direct have developed the discounted DryBox, available in three standard lengths. Explore the benefits of the DryBox by clicking on the products below.
Why choose a DryBox?
Affordable
The DryBox offers affordable lining in standard sized 20ft shipping containers and 40ft shipping containers, and 10ft cut downs. While we've always offered the option of ply lining in containers, the price of timber, and indeed most other building materials, has risen sharply, pricing this valuable upgrade beyond the budget of some of our customers, or leaving them with the temptation to take a gamble on damp and condensation. We buy KronospanTM boards in bulk which lets us pass this saving on to the customer. As with all our ply lined containers we use the mineral-based Rockwool insulating material packed behind the boards.
Sustainable
The newly formulated OSB lining developed by KronospanTM that we use for the DryBox has been sourced from sustainable materials that offer an attractive price, are easily accessible, while still meeting our standards of quality control. The timber is produced with zero added formaldehyde and conforms to EN 300 performance standards. The DryBox itself is created by up-cycling second hand containers, minimising the carbon footprint.
Immediately available
Delays in production are common when there are material and labour shortages, including shipping containers themselves! We've bypassed these delays by ensuring we keep a reserve of good quality used shipping containers, selected exclusively for DryBox conversions. Our joiners use what would have previously been down-time, for instance when we experience delays in production due to circumstances beyond our control (a not uncommon problem during these difficult times) to "jump on" to a DryBox job. This enables us to build up a good supply of 20ft and 40ft DryBoxes, ready for dispatch when an order is placed. Other lengths are available, but lead times may be longer.
