Turn steel containers into usable, condensation-free space — spray foam bonds to the ribbed steel and seals out 'container rain'. Installed UK-wide.
Shipping containers are sealed steel boxes that swing wildly in temperature. Warm interior air hits cold corrugated steel and condenses, producing the notorious "container rain" that drips onto stored goods, equipment and machinery. Left untreated, that moisture corrodes the steel shell, ruins contents and makes any converted container unworkable as an office, store or workshop.
Enverge closed-cell spray foam self-bonds directly to the ribbed steel as it cures, forming a seamless insulating skin with no gaps, joints or fixings. Because it is a closed-cell foam it resists moisture and breaks the thermal bridge that causes condensation, so the steel surface no longer drops below dew point and container rain simply stops forming inside the unit.
The result is a dry, stable, well-insulated container that holds temperature, protects its contents and converts cleanly into usable commercial space. The coating hugs every corrugation tightly, so almost no internal volume is lost, and the steel shell is protected from the corrosion that untreated condensation would otherwise drive.
Eliminates the condensation that drips from cold steel ceilings onto stored goods, stock and equipment.
Self-adheres to every corrugation as it cures, with no fixings, battens or fabric needed.
Hugs the profile tightly so usable floor and head height inside the container are barely reduced.
Buffers the steel box against rapid heating and cooling, keeping contents and converted interiors comfortable.
Shields the steel from the corrosion that trapped condensation would otherwise drive over time.
A whole container can often be coated quickly in one mobile visit with minimal disruption.
Closed-cell foam follows the corrugations of the steel and seals completely, stopping condensation and insulating in one pass.
Enverge closed-cell spray foam (Nexseal LE) is applied directly to the cleaned interior steel, where it self-bonds and expands to wrap every corrugation in a continuous, moisture-resistant layer. Its low water absorption and high closed-cell content keep the steel surface above dew point, stopping interstitial condensation and container rain without any vapour barrier, batten or board.

Steel boxes condensate: 'container rain' ruins stored contents and corrodes the shell. A 15–25 mm closed-cell coat sprayed to the ribbed steel stops it at source — the foam bonds to every corrugation and carries its own vapour barrier. For containers and modular units being converted to occupied space, 35–50 mm+ delivers real thermal performance without stud-out framing eating the internal width.
Application and cure happen in a single day per unit, and the same approach upgrades draughty site cabins and modular buildings into warm, dry, usable space.

Yes. Closed-cell foam bonds to the steel and keeps its surface above dew point, so warm interior air no longer condenses on cold metal. That is what stops "container rain" dripping onto your stored goods and equipment.
Very little. The foam follows the corrugated profile of the steel tightly rather than building out a thick boxed wall, so usable floor area and head height inside the container are barely affected once coated.
Yes. We insulate containers used as offices, stores, workshops and welfare units across commercial and industrial sites. The seamless coating gives a dry, temperature-stable shell ready for lining out, wiring and fit-out.
By stopping condensation forming on the interior steel, the coating removes the trapped moisture that drives corrosion. The shell stays dry behind the foam rather than sitting wet, which helps protect the container over its working life.
Closed-cell foam significantly improves a container's thermal stability and resistance to heat gain, making it far better suited to temperature-sensitive commercial storage. For specific performance targets we'll assess your container and intended use on site.
A 15–25 mm closed-cell coat is enough to stop condensation in storage containers; conversions to occupied space typically take 35–50 mm or more.
No — the foam bonds directly to the ribbed steel with no battens or framework, preserving internal space.
Spraying and curing are typically completed within a single day per unit.
