Insulation Alternatives to Avoid
The two most frequent descriptions of basements are cold and damp. Creating a space that is dry with stable temps and a fresh scent will require the best insulation you can find. Unfortunately, the most common insulation installed will accelerate mold and mildew growth rather than prevent it.
Fiberglass insulation is affordable and readily available, but it is not the best choice for your remodel. It will soak up water, creating musty and hazardous mold and mildew. The wood will be susceptible to rot and pest infestation as well, and as the years go by, the insulation may settle within the wood frame and perform much less effectively.
Spray foam insulation performs better than fiberglass, but it’s not without its own points of detraction. A professional must perform the installation, which is expensive and makes a huge mess.
Mirroring the strength and coverage of spray foam insulation without the expense and requirement of professionally provided installation, InSoFast insulation systems employ the insulating power of closed-cell EPS foam created into systems of tight connection via injection-molded panels. This option is affordable and accessible to DIY-interested homeowners.
InSoFast insulation systems work through panels constructed into walls of continuous insulation. The panels are 24”x48” and include features that contribute to installation of the insulation as well as further aspects of the remodel.
The UX 2.0 panel is the base panel that is 2” thick and produces an R-8.5 resistance to thermal energy loss, and the EXi 2.5 panel is ½” thicker and produces an R-10.5 resistance to thermal energy loss.
Each panel features built-in non-ferrous studs that create a rot-resistant frame, channels for running services, a stackable and lightweight design, moisture control channels, and insulation strength that meets all base energy regulations.
The frame created by the built-in studs provides a source of strength to hold the panels on the surface of the wall as well as purchase for attaching drywall or screwing the panels into concrete and then attaching a subfloor.
