Upgrading the basement insulation of your Cincinnati, Ohio home is one home improvement project that produces quite a big bang for the buck. InSoFast insulation panels can be put in on your own, saving you the cost of labor, and they work better than practically any other insulation product on the market.
Made in America and shipped for free to destinations within the continental US, InSoFast insulation panels ship directly from factories in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Idaho.
We also make them available for purchase at Menards locations including the ones in Florence, Evendale, Loveland, Hamilton, and Miamisburg in the Cincinnati area.
The InSoFast insulation panel system is made of closed-cell, non-porous EPS foam panels. They are patented and patent-pending, delivering twice the insulating power per square inch as open-cell insulation foam. An InSoFast insulation system regularly outperforms traditional batt insulation with a higher R-value.
The airtight wall of insulation these panels provide, along with the straightforward process of installation, gives InSoFast insulation users an advantage when upgrading their basement insulation.
The implements required for your basement insulation application are few and easy to use. In addition to a supply of InSoFast insulation panels, you should gather a utility knife, a saw of any kind, a caulk gun loaded with construction adhesive, and canned spray foam insulation.
InSoFast insulation systems work for both interior and exterior purposes, with different panel designs for each purpose. Basement projects will use the interior panels, either UX 2.0 or EXi 2.5.
Our panels are 2’ long and 4’ wide and fit together into a wall system of interconnected insulation panels that provides continuous insulation coverage. The coverage is continuous due to the lack of thermal bridges at stud locations or gaps in coverage. Our design is key to this coverage with the tight fit and the inclusion of embedded polypropylene studs every 16” within the panel.
The differences between the UX 2.0 and EXi 2.5 panels are in the depth, R-value, and fit. The UX 2.0 panel is 2” deep, and the EXi 2.5 panel is 2.5” deep. The R-value of the UX 2.0 panel is 8.5, and that of the EXi 2.5 panel is 10.5. This ½” increase in thickness and the tighter fit of the panels create a 20% increase in the efficiency of the insulation system.
Once insulation is in place, you’ll need to follow up with a drywall application. This process will also be simple due to the embedded studs and the indicator lines on the panels showing where the studs are. These built-in studs are as strong as 12-gauge steel studs and able to support 250 pounds each.
Not only will these studs support drywall, but they also prevent thermal bridging. The studs are enmeshed within insulation, so the insulation coverage continues. Wooden frame and fiberglass systems differ in the interruption of coverage at each stud location.
