The Insulation Decision
If you’re unversed as of yet in the quality and additional benefits of InSoFast insulation panels, let’s run down the alternatives – starting with the traditional standby, fiberglass.
Fiberglass insulation is the long-time choice for insulation projects. It’s widely available, inexpensive, and the conventional example of what insulation is. However, InSoFast insulation panels are the far better choice because fiberglass insulation:
- requires a wooden frame support system where thermal bridges will result at every stud site;
- settles over time;
- absorbs water and promotes the growth of mold and mildew;
- Involves a complicated installation process that should be professionally approached.
Spray foam insulation works incredibly well, with no gaps in coverage. However, the installation absolutely must be professional. The process is complicated, messy, and expensive.
InSoFast insulation panels offer the strong, closed-cell foam and continuous coverage without the complications, mess, or expense of spray foam insulation. Most homeowners will find them easy to install on their own without taking much time or special, expensive tools.
The InSoFast Insulation Panel Options
InSoFast insulation panels come in two product lines for basement installation.
The Flat Panel 2.0 is 24”x48”x2” with a flat side where the embedded stud facings are visible. The R-8.5 energy efficiency outperforms fiberglass insulation labeled as R-13. These panels offer built-in framing, moisture control channels, service raceways, and a straightforward design for easy maneuverability and installation. This product line meets all base level coding guidelines.
A level up, the Flat Panel 2.5 is ½” thicker and has an R-10 energy efficiency. When installed, it outperforms fiberglass insulation labeled as R-15, and the product line is 20% stronger than the 2.0 Flat Panel.
Continuous Insulation for a Synergistic Result
The InSoFast insulation panels function as a system of continuous insulation (CI). Each panel connects to the next at interlocking notches that facilitate an airtight wall of coverage, and each panel also contains embedded, non-ferrous studs within the insulation foam. These studs replace the wooden frame, eliminating the potential for thermal bridging.
A wall system of InSoFast insulation resists water absorption in two ways. First, the panels are non-porous, and second, the panels feature built-in drainage channels to direct any water or condensation away from the wall cavity.
