Basement Remodeling Tips!
Homeowners often convert basements into extra bedrooms and home offices, but there are other unique ways to use the space. InSoFast offers the best DIY tips and the most flexible EPS foam insulation panels for the walls, floor and ceiling. Adding insulation to your basement is one of the most effective investments you can make for your home.

InSoFast closed-cell, injection-molded continuous EPS foam insulation panels are cost-effective, lightweight, and easy for do-it-yourselfers to install with little more than a hand saw, a utility knife, and a caulk gun.
Once you complete your basement insulation project, you can install drywall, cement board, tile base, or wood siding over the panels just like over traditional framing and hang heavy items like cabinets and TVs.
InSoFast Interior Insulation
The InSoFast UX 2.0 Panel is 2-inches thick with a flat surface that exposes the face of the embedded studs. The EPS body is manufactured with a fire-retardant additive and serves as a Class III vapor barrier.
With R-8.5 continuous insulation, rot-resistant framing, drainage channels, electrical raceways, and a simple, stackable interlocking design, this panel is a very cost-effective insulation solution for interior walls, floors and ceilings and is suitable for both DIY residential projects and large-scale commercial projects.
For a higher R-value, the EXi 2.5 Panel, at 2 ½-inches thick, is a great choice. This InSoFast panel’s continuous R-value of 10 outperforms traditionally framed R-15 batt walls and provides 20% more insulation than our UX panels.
Basement Remodeling Ideas
Converting a basement into a usable living space is a popular way to cope with changing household needs without having to move. Properly insulated (with InSoFast, of course!) it can add value to your property.
Man cave: By adding a pool table and dart set, pinball machines, a bar, and a big-screen TV, your basement can become a comfortable sanctuary for you and your friends to watch movies or enjoy the big game.
Wine cellar: The fact that basements are constructed underground makes it easier to keep the space at a constant temperature year-round. This makes the basement ideal for wine storage.
Home gym: If your basement is large enough, consider installing fitness equipment to give yourself a private exercise room and save on expensive gym memberships. Add a TV or surround sound system to keep you motivated as you work out.
Home theater: Basements are great places for home theaters since noise is not a problem. Invest in comfortable seating and consider built-in cabinetry around the TV screen so you can hide messy wiring and provide storage space for DVDs and accessories.
