Possible Insulation Products to Consider
Every day your basement goes unfinished is money and space wasted. When comparing the various insulation products that you could use, InSoFast insulation panels come out as the winner in virtually every category.
Fiberglass insulation is the product most commonly seen in insulation projects, but it’s far from perfect. The wooden frame to support the insulation interrupts the coverage and reduces its effectiveness. Fiberglass also absorbs water and invites hazardous mold and mildew to take up residence within your walls.
The choice of cellulose insulation is very eco-friendly but doesn’t provide a viable long term insulation solution. Made from recycled paper goods, cellulose insulation is water absorbent and will become useless once it becomes wet.
Spray foam insulation is an excellent insulator. It works very well, fills up the empty areas within walls, doesn’t absorb water, and will stand up against the tests of time. The problem with this choice is multi-fold. Its installation demands professional intervention, doubling the cost of the project.
Expanded polystyrene foam panels like InSoFast insulation panels are the best choice. The closed-cell EPS foam provides double the insulation power of open cell insulation technology, and the panel can be installed with a few common tools and novice skill level because of the notched alignment edges.
With a light weight and non-bulky design, InSoFast insulation panels are easily transported and installed. Along with your panel supply, the tools required include a utility knife, a saw of any kind, a caulking gun, construction adhesive, and canned expanding foam. This project is one that you can do on your own. The panels include cutting lines for easy modification at the wall edges and ceiling, and the studs are able to support the panels on the wall as well as the drywall that follows.
The InSoFast 2.0 Flat Panel and 2.5 Flat Panel are the two product lines we offer that are appropriate for basement applications. They’re designed to be vapor and fire resistant, meet all present and future energy regulations, and provide a versatile plethora of other features, such as a built-in rot-resisting frame, electric wiring service channels, a straightforward design that makes connection easy and tight, an affordable price, universal application to any flat surface, and drainage channels for moisture.
