Achieve any R-value of insulation in the basement of your Eau Claire, Wisconsin home by choosing InSoFast insulation panels. With our products, you can easily install insulation with an R-value of 8.5 all the way to 21 or greater.
Customizing the R-Value
The InSoFast insulation product catalog includes two products designed for interior use. The base level panel is the UX 2.0 panel, and the EXi 2.5 panel is 20% stronger. To achieve greater R-values, you’ll layer rigid foam board insulation on top of the InSoFast insulation for a cumulative result.
This method of insulation is referred to as InSoFast PLUS. Since rigid foam boards are available in an assortment of thicknesses and R-values, you can construct a system that meets any level of energy efficiency you might need.
Ordering InSoFast insulation products is a straightforward process that you can pursue online for direct delivery from our factories in Idaho, Massachusetts, and Minnesota to your project site (as long as its within the continental US). Customers in the Midwest can also find a supply at their local Menards. Homeowners in Eau Claire, Wisconsin will find Menards stores on N. Clairemont Ave. and S. Hastings Way.
Installing Electricity in Your Basement
In addition to customizable continuous insulation, InSoFast insulation panels provide built-in service channels to run wiring for electricity hookup. These service raceways run both horizontally and vertically to safely hold the wiring within the panel. Creating any circuitry design is possible, and adding outlet boxes only requires cutting the foam with a utility knife to add the outlet boxes.
Counting on the Strength of a Rot-Resistant Frame
Within InSoFast insulation panels, you’ll find built-in non-ferrous studs. These studs are spaced every 16” on center and are able to support up to 250 pounds each. With a strength equal to that of 20-gauge steel studs, the embedded studs serve a dual function.They support the panels on the wall and then the attachment of rigid foam board, drywall, cabinetry, shelves, etc. The panels include indicator lines to help hang materials upon the InSoFast insulation panels as well.
Installing Insulation without Complications or Difficulty
InSoFast insulation panels are simple to install. With a free weekend, a supply of InSoFast insulation panels, a caulking gun loaded with construction adhesive, a saw, a utility knife, and canned spray foam, you’ll be completely prepared for the process.
If you’d like to see the installation and its ease for yourself, check out the videos and articles we have uploaded to our website. We offer ample resources for inspiration, guidance, and troubleshooting.
The panels’ studs provide support for applying the panels to the wall, and the panels fit together in a running bond pattern. As your wall system grows, it will become stronger, and the tight connections allow you to perform the installation without using tape. When the panels reach the side and top of the wall, you’ll use the saw and utility knife to modify the panels.
Whether you’d like to achieve greater energy efficiency, easier wiring, reliable framing that won’t rot, or an insulation system you can do yourself, choose InSoFast insulation for your basement.
