All Insulation Choices Aren’t Ideal for Basement Renovations
Fiberglass insulation is the most popular and affordable product in the insulation aisle, but it’s not ideal for basement projects. Installation of fiberglass insulation requires a skilled touch. It will take time to build a wooden frame and install insulation. By absorbing water, fiberglass also sets the stage for mold and mildew growth as well as rotting of the wood frame.
Spray foam insulation isn’t the right choice for your basement either. When sprayed straight onto the wall, it will create a moisture and vapor proof barrier, but this insulation method may not withstand the tests of time and will require a professional for installation and is not at all budget friendly.
In the end, the best option for basement insulation is the closed-cell, injection-molded, non-porous Expanded Polystyrene foam panel from InSoFast, LLC. We offer a DIY-friendly product that requires few tools, minimum skill, and little time but packs a sustained and powerful insulating punch on any flat surface.
InSoFast Insulation Product Lines for the Basement
InSoFast insulation is engineered into 2’x4’ interconnected panels of various thicknesses. The UX 2.0 insulation panel has a 2” thickness and a flat surface with exposed stud facings. The R-8.5 insulation outperforms traditional fiberglass batting with an R-13 label.
The next option for your basement will remain true and straight with no alignment issues due to the tighter fit. It also provides a 20% stronger insulating strength. This panel is the EXi 2.5 panel. Its R-10.5 insulation strength outperforms fiberglass insulation with an R-15 label.
Every interior InSoFast insulation panel features the following:
- Rot-resistant frame
- Moisture control channels
- Electrical service channels
- Straightforward interconnected panel design
- Meets and exceeds every present and future energy regulation
The purpose of drainage channels is to wick moisture and vapor away from the wall interior. Keeping water away from the wall prevents mold and mildew from forming, but that does not make InSoFast insulation a full waterproofing solution. Conditions that require waterproofing should be addressed before any insulation installation, including InSoFast insulation panels.
