The Right Solution for Energy Containment
InSoFast insulation panels are a worthy product for residential and commercial applications. The DIY and professional construction industry find these products simple to install and remarkably effective. The panels, composed of non-porous, closed-cell EPS foam, have special designs that go in readily and promote other steps of the basement finishing process.
One person with a few simple tools and a stack of InSoFast insulation panels can easily insulate a basement area. The panels are light and connect together snugly and remain stable without taping.
Basement Insulation Panels
The base level of insulation we provide comes from the 2.0 Flat Panel. It is 2” thick and contains embedded studs to create a continuous system of insulation that outperforms competitors labeled as R-13 even though it is an R-8.5 level of thermal efficiency.
The features of the panel make it appealing for many reasons other than simple installation of insulation. The built-in frame is embedded within the insulation, provides the same strength as a 20-gauge steel stud, and resists deterioration. The panels also include drainage channels to eliminate water from the wall cavity and service channels to facilitate wiring.
The next level of insulation is the 2.5 Flat Panel. This panel has an R-10.5 level of insulating strength and outperforms fiberglass insulation labeled as R-15. These panels fit even more snugly than the 2.0 Flat Panel line, more easily working with the concrete walls usually found within basements.
Basement Insulation Finishing
InSoFast insulation panels are ideal for a DIY basement renovation project.
When the time comes to install services, the channels built into the panels are invaluable. The raceways run both up and down and from side to side to make all circuitry plans possible. With your wiring run through the wall, the EPS foam can be cut to make room for outlet boxes. The difference in difficulty of wiring shouldn’t be underestimated.
The built-in frame is also remarkably beneficial to construction. The embedded studs buried within each panel offer a strong method for application along the wall and for supporting drywall.
