Finishing a basement with insulation, drywalling, and a purpose can greatly increase the value of your Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin home. If you’re at the starting line and unsure of which direction to run, choose InSoFast insulation panels for a clear direction.
Evaluate Your Basement’s Situation
Every makeover begins with a once over to establish the current state of affairs and list areas of improvement. Finishing a basement will require insulation, drywalling, painting, and other steps to make the space attractive and functional.
InSoFast insulation panels are one choice that will propel you forward. The panels are made of closed-cell, non-porous Expanded Polystyrene foam. We use injection-molding to produce panels that are perfect for application onto any flat surface. They also provide insulation, framing for hanging drywall, vertical and horizontal channels for holding wiring, and drainage for moisture mitigation.
When homeowners in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin decide to buy InSoFast insulation panels and prefer shopping in-person rather than online, Menards is the way to go. You’ll find a location on Rickmeyer Dr. as well as in nearby Sheboygan, Beaver Dam, and Oshkosh.
Plan for a DIY Friendly Process
When planning to perform home improvement measures yourself, don’t assume you’re capable of more than you are. Saving on professional installation shouldn’t come at the cost of safety or quality. Luckily, InSoFast insulation panels couldn’t be easier to install. The panels fit together in a clear fashion, and the only tools required include a utility knife, saw, caulking gun, construction adhesive, and canned spray foam insulation. The materials aren’t heavy, and the process will not leave you confused.
