Upgrading the basement insulation of a home is one of the surest ways that homeowners in Green Bay, Wisconsin can get the biggest return on their investment. The performance of InSoFast insulation panels will promote high R-values, resist moisture, and facilitate easy construction.
Winter is a time of particular vulnerability to thermal energy loss. The basement can be a prime target for quality insulation protection since it is one of the primary culprits of heat loss and cold intrusion, and InSoFast insulation panels offer a quality insulation that outperforms competing insulation with higher R-values on the label.
Outfitting a Basement with the Best R-Value
Products with a specified R-value on the label often fail to produce the R-value advertised due to inefficiency of the system design. The studs that support traditional insulation products allow thermal energy to escape, reducing the R-value of real-life scenarios.
InSoFast insulation panels prevent thermal bridging through an airtight system of insulation made possible by the tongue-and-groove alignment notches and embedded, non-ferrous studs built into the insulation panels. No thermal energy escapes the continuous insulation created from our panels.
The Right InSoFast Insulation Panel for Your Basement Design
Interior InSoFast insulation panels are 2-feet in length and 4-feet in width. The two interior panel options, UX 2.0 and EXi 2.5, are either 2” or 2.5” thick.
The 2” panel comes in the UX 2.0 product line and produces an R-value of 8.5, but when installed into a system of insulation, it outperforms insulation labeled as R-13. This panel meets most base level energy regulations, and the next panel is 20% stronger.
The EXi 2.5 insulation panel is ½” thicker than the UX 2.0 panel. This panel’s R-value of 10.5 outperforms competing insulation with an R-value of 15.
Both of these panels feature service channels for running electricity, a rot-resistant frame, and channels for moisture mitigation.
The InSoFast PLUS method takes the R-value up even further. Layered InSoFast insulation, rigid foam board, and drywall create a system that ramps insulation R-values cumulatively up to R-21 or even greater!
In-So-Fast – An Apt Name for a Remarkable Product
The strength of the continuous insulation coverage isn’t the only benefit of choosing InSoFast insulation panels. The installation doesn’t require professional intervention. You can install these panels yourself without special skills or construction implements. You will only need a saw to cut through the panels, a utility knife to modify the foam, a caulk gun loaded with construction adhesive for installation, and canned spray foam to seal up the tiny gaps and seams.
As the name implies, InSoFast insulation can be installed quickly, and the product speeds up other aspects of construction as well. The interlocking alignment notches allow the panels to fit together on the wall in a running bond pattern with a bit of construction adhesive applied to the embedded studs to secure their placement. The built-in studs are as strong as 20-gauge steel studs and will support the insulation panels on the wall, the drywall, cabinetry, and mounted accessories.
