A home’s basement is more than just extra space for storage. You can transform this area into living space for a family room, downstairs apartment, home gym, etc. A project of this kind will require that you insulate the basement walls, and planning to implement what has been shown to be the best way – InSoFast insulation panels – will improve the results.
The cold basement floor, walls, and ceiling will be cold no more with an application of InSoFast insulation panels.
Why InSoFast Insulation Is the Answer
InSoFast insulation panels are engineered, injection-molded panels of closed-cell EPS foam. The 2’x4’ panels fit together tightly, as well as to the wall or other flat surface. When put together, these insulation systems provide a superior level of thermal protection for remodels, basement finishing projects, and newly constructed buildings.
InSoFast interior insulation comes in two product lines – the UX2.0 and EXi2.5 panels.
The Base Insulation Panel Suitable for Most Applications
In most climates and situations, the UX 2.0 panel meets every requirement. This 2” thick panel lines up with all existing and future energy regulations and includes built-in non-ferrous studs that double as a place to secure the panels to the surface and the drywall through the panel.
This product line has an R-8.5 labeled energy efficiency and includes the following:
- Built-in studs for framing
- Moisture control channels
- Service channels for wiring
- Straightforward, stackable, and lightweight panel
Stronger insulation is available by choosing the other interior option we offer. The EXi 2.5 insulation panel is ½” thicker and 20% more insulating. The built-in studs are deeper and the connections tighter, so the system more easily adjusts to slightly irregular features you commonly find in basement walls.
The EXi 2.5 panel provides R-10 energy efficiency in a system that typically outperforms conventional batt insulation labeled as an R-15 insulation solution.
Banish the Discomfort
When finishing out a basement, the primary concerns are moisture and cold. InSoFast insulation resolves both of these problems. The panels offer a tight fit of insulation and moisture control channels that wick away vapor. Composed of closed-cell EPS foam, each panel is non-porous and twice as strong as open-cell insulation.
Skip the Hard Stuff
Installing insulation doesn’t have to be a huge chore. InSoFast insulation panel installation doesn’t require specialized tools or skills. Order a supply our panels, gather a caulking gun, load it with Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, and make sure that you have a utility knife and saw to modify the panels when required.
To install a system of insulation, simply attach the panels to the wall and to one another in a running bond fashion. Modify the panel at the ends and tops of the wall, and seal up small gaps and edges with canned spray foam insulation. After curing for 24-hours, cut away the extra with a utility knife for a finished result. This system will then be ready to support the requisite drywall application.
If you’re planning to finish your basement and wondering what the best way to insulate the walls is, stop right there and order InSoFast insulation panels. We make it easy to skip the labor portion of the bill and do the work yourself without giving up one iota of quality.
