Why work so hard at insulating exterior basement walls when you could be using closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam panels from InSoFast! The cost-effective interlocking continuous insulation panels require fewer steps, less time, and less work.
InSoFast, LLC, established in 2006, develops energy efficient building systems that exceed present and future energy codes, outperform the competition, and simplify the construction process. Our patented EPS insulation panels are manufactured and shipped to project sites across the country from our manufacturing facilities in Idaho, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
Insulating Exterior Foundation Walls
Concrete walls have low insulating value, which means that cold from the ground outside will transfer directly into your basement. Moisture management is also crucial because cooler basement air temperatures generally mean higher relative humidity conditions which can lead to mold and odors.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Building Technology, State and Community Programs (BTS), “A properly sealed, insulated, and moisture-protected basement will increase comfort, save on energy costs, improve durability, and reduce entry of moisture, soil gases, and other potential irritants or pollutants into the home.”
Installing InSoFast EPS foam panels directly against your foundation walls will help keep your basement warmer and dryer and give your home healthier, more usable space.
InSoFast EX 2.5 Panel
The EX 2.5 InSoFast Panel is optimized for exterior usage. Because it does not absorb moisture like open-cell types of bead board, it is rated highly for below-grade applications like basements. The EPS body is a fire-retardant material and serves as a Class III vapor barrier.
The closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam body achieves R-10 insulation. Built into the front and back of the EX panel is a network of shingle-style capillary channels. They comply with Oregon Residential Specialty Code section R701.1 allowing the panel to serve as a certified rainscreen for exterior applications. The channels are specifically-sized cavities that moderate wall pressure so that both interior and exterior wall assemblies can drain and be allowed to remain dry.
The InSoFast FP-2.5RW Panel is 2 ½-inches thick. Its continuous R-value of 10 outperforms traditionally framed R-15 batt walls. Tight interlocks and recessed studs keep the EX barrier true and straight, enabling it to bridge over cups, bows and other irregularities in concrete basement walls.
Attaching panels to your wall is simple. Each panel is co-molded to include three high-strength polypropylene studs that align every 16-in on center. We call them the “embedded studs” and they serve the same exact purpose regular stud-framing serves in regular walls, with some additional benefits like resistance to mold, rot, rust, warp and decay and an adherable dovetailing for ease of installation.
InSoFast EPS foam panels are the perfect solution for insulating exterior basement walls. Call us today at (888) 501-7899 or contact us online to learn more about our products. We offer free shipping in the contiguous U.S., and our panels are designed for do-it-yourself simplicity.
