Additional usable space for your home is as close as your basement. With InSoFast insulation added to the basement of your Wisconsin home, you’ll gain space to use without requiring an addition or relocation. Our panels work for all flat surfaces, meaning that you can fully encapsulate your room with insulation – floors, walls, and ceiling.
The key to InSoFast insulation is the non-porous, closed-cell EPS foam injection-molded into uniquely engineered designs for a straightforward, fast application with additional features to facilitate the building process.
The energy efficient systems that we produce and distribute were originally marketed to the commercial sector, but the DIY home improvement market quickly discovered the ease of use and grabbed hold. In the time since the establishment of InSoFast, LLC, in 2006, we’ve developed a strong customer base. Our American-made products ship directly from our factories in Idaho, Minnesota, and Massachusetts to project sites throughout the continental US.
Insulating a Basement without the Costs of Professional Labor
The basement of your home is likely a setting vulnerable to moisture and cold. The traditional fiberglass insulation absorbs the moisture, which leads to mold and mildew growth. In the end, the insulation will be worthless for thermal protection and hazardous to the respiratory health of the home’s residents.
Spray foam insulation provides better thermal protection, but it costs quite a bit and requires professional labor for installation. With InSoFast EPS foam insulation, you’ll get the full coverage without the labor costs or need to build a wooden frame you’d otherwise encounter.
What’s more, all you’ll need to complete the install is a bit of common sense, a supply of panels, a utility knife, a saw of some kind, a caulking gun, construction adhesive, and expanding spray foam.
Basement Applications of InSoFast Insulation Panels
InSoFast insulation panels work together as separate units that fit together into a wall system of continuous insulation. Each panel measures 2’x4’ with differing thicknesses.
The 2.0 Flat Panel has a 2” depth and a flat side with exposed stud facings. The R-value, or resistance to thermal energy loss, measures an 8.5, but the panel outperforms R-13 labeled fiberglass insulation. This base level panel is in line with all existing coding guidelines.
Features of the panels include polypropylene studs that create a rot-resistant frame, moisture control channels that direct water away from the wall cavity, channels for wiring the unit, and a stackable unit design for easy application and storage.
The 2.5 Flat Panel connects more tightly, with more deeply recessed studs and a ½” thicker foam panel. The result is 20% stronger insulation with an R-10 thermal efficiency that outperforms R-15 fiberglass insulation.
The frame that a system of InSoFast insulation panels creates is a substantial advantage to choosing this method of energy efficiency. The studs are strong enough to both hold the panel on the wall and to support the drywall that must follow insulation application. Beyond that, all of your mounted hardware, cabinetry, and flatscreens will find purchase with these studs as well. Each has the strength of a 20-gauge steel stud.
The studs, being enmeshed within insulation, prevent thermal bridging and maximize the effectiveness of the continuous insulation system.
Wisconsin homeowners who’re considering a basement insulation project should look to InSoFast insulation panels for the perfect solution to a plethora of problems.
