Understanding R-Value
An average homeowner might not understand the significance of R-value. When evaluating the grade of insulation you need, consider the R-Value. It indicates the product’s resistance to energy loss. Higher R-levels indicate higher degrees of resistance to loss of energy.
With InSoFast products, you typically see performance that exceeds that of traditional products because of the design. Other products settle over time or have large gaps where the insulation can’t go. Neither of these issues exist with InSoFast wall panels.
The studs within InSoFast are made of non-ferrous material that won’t conduct energy outward. They lie every 16” on center and are naturally square by design. Since the studs aren’t found outside of the insulation within a wood or metal frame, leakage can’t occur in those areas.
For straightforward and simple drywall installation during your project, take advantage of the studs included within InSoFast. They’re strong with the ability to hold up to 250 lbs. each, so drywall, cabinets, and even flat screens will hold securely.
The strength of interlocked panels might be something that you doubt. However, the tongue and groove design of these panels enables the strength to amplify with further development of the insulation wall. With a few dots of Loctite PL Premium 3x Stronger Construction Adhesive and some concrete fasteners as needed, your insulation design will be complete. Other tools that you might need include a utility knife for most cuts, a saw for cutting through studs, and expanding spray foam for tiny gaps and edges.
In addition to requiring few tools and less time, InSoFast panels even make installing electrical wiring easier. The raceways within the panels are perfectly aligned to allow for any plan of circuitry.
Insulation that deals with the potential for moisture and mildew is also beneficial for any home project. Dual-sided moisture channels make sure that vapor and water flow away from the wall, leaving the insulation and the wall dry and free from any ensuing damage. The non-porous Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS) is approved for all applications and will surely protect your property from common challenges to a home’s integrity.
Founded in 2006, made in America, and committed to educating and promoting smart energy efficiency within construction projects, InSoFast provides the Illinois area with insulation wall panels that will make your project more affordable, easier, faster, more energy efficient, and more durable in the long run.
