How do you eliminate moisture in the walls? Traditional insulation is vulnerable to moisture. And moisture, when allowed to linger in walls, leads to health-endangering mildew and mold. InSoFast provides a revolutionary method for controlling moisture in insulation panels. This incredible side benefit of choosing InSoFast insulation panels is in addition to the greater speed and insulating power also offered by the product.
Moisture control via InSoFast insulating panels works through two different mechanisms. The panels mitigate the initial transfer of water to the wall interior, and they wick any trapped moisture or condensation away from walls. These two separate attributes contribute largely to alleviating moisture and preventing mildew and mold.
How InSoFast Panels Protect from Moisture
The preventative nature of InSoFast insulation paneling stems from its composition: closed-cell Expanded Polystyrene foam. The insulation coverage is continuous, functioning to prevent condensation from forming when the outside temperature is sharply different from the climate-controlled air inside a building. This barrier balances the temperature difference without causing evaporation, condensation, and wet wall interiors.
The R-values, or resistance to energy loss, of InSoFast insulating panels is impressive. The UX 2.0 option is an R-8.5, and the EXi 2.5 panel is an R-10.5. Both of these options outperform competitors with higher R-values. This high level of effectiveness works to prevent condensation while also serving to keep the home temperature balanced and your utility bills lower due to the lack of thermal loss.
How InSoFast Panels Redirect Moisture Away from Walls
InSoFast insulation panels are key to eliminating moisture problems. The InSoFast UX 2.0 panel and the EXi 2.5 panel feature drainage channels along the back sides. They wick water downward, out of the wall interior, and you can enhance the water elimination further by incorporating a perimeter drainage system to the basement.
The exterior panel, the EXe 2.5 panel, has dual-sided moisture channels. Capable of serving as a rainscreen, these panels go far to mitigate water absorption by promoting dryness, preventing any kind of mold or mildew growth.
Additional Reasons to Choose InSoFast Insulation Panels
Controlling moisture isn’t the only reason to choose InSoFast insulation panels. A few other highlights include the following:
- Lightweight, 2’x4’ panel design
- Simple and stackable like Legos
- Few tools required (a saw, a utility knife, a can of spray foam insulation, and a caulking gun)
- Electric raceways built-in
- Embedded, non-ferrous studs
- Rot-resistant framing
- Tongue and groove interlocking design
The Clear Choice for Insulation
If you’re planning a remodel or new construction, insulation will definitely play a role. Choosing InSoFast insulation panels will mean that you reap all of the benefits they provide. Starting with a convenient, efficient, and effective means of insulating the building and continuing to mitigate moisture and facilitate wiring.
