Are you looking for a cost-effective, fast, and easy to install method for insulating exterior walls for a new or retrofit construction project? InSoFast EPS foam insulation panels can be applied universally to any interior or exterior wall assembly.
InSoFast, LLC, established in 2006, develops energy efficient building systems that exceed present and future energy codes, outperform the competition, and simplify construction processes.
EPS insulation, like InSoFast, has the highest average R-value per dollar of the rigid foam insulation materials (about R-4.6 per inch) and the R-value does not degrade over time. EPS is also the most versatile because you can use it anywhere in the building envelope, from roofs to walls to floors, and even below grade.
With tightly interlocking tongue-and-groove edges that don’t require taping, InSoFast panel installation could not get any easier and requires only a minimum of tools and supplies, including a utility knife, saw (hand, jig, skill or table) and construction glue.
InSoFast Insulation for Exterior Walls
The InSoFast EXe 2.5 Panel is an R-10 continuous insulation (CI) weather screen assembly that is optimized for exterior usage and maximizes energy efficiency and moisture management. The R-value outperforms traditionally framed R-15 batt walls.
The 2 ½-inch thick EXe 2.5 Panels panels feature dual-sided engineered drainage channels that allow multi-directional air flow and help ensure that no moisture penetrates the wall assembly, providing drainability and breathability in a simple easy-to-install system.
InSoFast panels can be installed over your existing weather resistant barrier or house wrap. They serve as a secondary weather resistant barrier that is well-suited to absorptive claddings such as stucco or stone and provide a much-needed capillary break from wood framed walls and sheathing.
Siding can be attached directly to the panel’s embedded stud framing. The polypropylene plastic studs have the same structural strength of 20-gauge steel studs but, unlike metal, do not conduct heat and will not disrupt the home’s thermal protection.
When using InSoFast to retrofit older structures, you won’t have to remove existing wood siding or trim boards and can incapsulate old lead paint siding instead of wasting time, energy and expense on abatement.
