An easy, fast, and effective exterior wall insulation that’s also DIY appropriate might seem like a fairy tale, but it’s real, affordable, and readily available in the form of InSoFast interior panels.
InSoFast insulation panels, composed of closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam, create strong wall systems of insulation. The features of the panels allow for a mistake-free application that doesn’t require much time, skill, or equipment.
InSoFast insulation panels produce systems designed to provide energy efficient insulation that meets all current and future regulations. Founded in 2006, InSoFast, LLC, originally marketed products to commercial construction interests, but the features that make the product so special quickly inspired a surge of interest from project-minded homeowners and builders. We make and ship products without surcharge to locations within the continental US from our sites in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Idaho, and South Dakota.
Exterior Wall Applications of Insulation
Applying exterior insulation can often involve several steps, beginning with demolition and remediation of existing house finishes. The fact that InSoFast insulation panels allow you to skip this step is one of its major draws. While our panel systems do not serve as waterproofing, they can provide weather screening for your home. Skip the prep work and install InSoFast insulation panels directly over your existing house wrap.
Applying a layer of InSoFast exterior insulation to a home can promote comfort and stable utility costs, while reducing the potential for mold, mildew, and pest infestation. This project is one that will meet any evaluation of reward versus cost. Other insulation promotes rot and infestation because it absorbs water. Our products resist water absorption and even encourage the direction of moisture away from the wall.
InSoFast Exterior Insulation – the EXe 2.5 Panel Series
Designed specifically for exterior purposes, InSoFast EXe 2.5 panels are non-porous and strong, so they’re identified as appropriate and functional Class III vapor barriers. These panels also include fire-resistant additives and aren’t subject to physical or chemical degradation. The level of insulation strength will be as strong three decades down the road as it is the day of installation.
The energy efficiency of the EXe 2.5 panel is remarkable. The R-10 energy efficient labelled product outperforms competing insulation with an R-15 label. You can expect cozy, dry, and quiet spaces to be the end result when you enhance your structure with our panels.
Practically every feature of the EXe 2.5 series is similar to the EXi 2.5 line, which is focused on interior use. They’re both 2’x4’ with a 2.5” depth. The panels connect tightly with interlocking notches to keep the system true and straight, even over slight irregularities. Because the EXe 2.5 panel is meant for outdoor applications, it lacks the raceways for running services that the EXi 2.5 panel includes, and instead the panel includes drainage channels on each side.
Adding exterior insulation is incredibly easy with InSoFast EXe 2.5 panels. Every 16” on center lies an incredibly strong polypropylene stud. These studs are non-ferrous and able to hold up to 250 pounds each, serving a dual function as a method of application for insulation as well as finishing materials.
Installing exterior wall insulation as a DIY project is remarkably simple with InSoFast Expanded Polystyrene foam panels. Reach out by calling (888) 501-7899 or using our online mechanisms to discover the wonder of InSoFast products or to place an order to get your project started ASAP!
