Information Regarding InSoFast Insulation Panels
InSoFast insulation panels work together as engineered continuous insulation. The panels are each 24×48 inches and connect via tongue and groove notches. They feature a rot-resisting frame, moisture control channels, electrical raceways, and an easily stackable, straightforward design.
The UX 2.0 panel has a 2-inch depth and a flat surface with exposed faces of embedded studs. The R-value, or level of resistance to energy loss, is 8.5, but the product outperforms the insulating power of traditional batt walls with an R-value of 13. It meets all the base energy requirements and is suitable for use in most areas.
The EXi 2.5 panel is a step up. It offers 20% stronger insulation with a ½ inch thicker panel. The panels connect even better because of the recessed studs, so the wall system remains straighter and truer, even over the irregularities of concrete walls like those seen in basements. The R-value of 10 outperforms traditional batt walls with an R-value of 15.
The Superiority of InSoFast Insulation Panels over Fiberglass Insulation
Vulnerability to Moisture
The most popular method of keeping homes warm and dry also invites the growth of mold and mildew. Fiberglass insulation absorbs moisture like a sponge, and the resulting growth is dangerous for respiratory health and inhibits the power of the insulation.
Moisture doesn’t just cause mold and mildew. It will also rot the wooden frame you use to install the insulation. Furthermore, when exposed to just a small bit of moisture, fiberglass insulation can lose up to 80% of its resistance to energy loss.
Unlike fiberglass insulation, InSoFast insulation panels won’t settle, breakdown, or lose insulating power. In addition, they’re resistant to the growth of mold and mildew and will repel water through drainage channels built into each panel.
Vulnerability to Thermal Breaks
Traditional fiberglass insulation requires a wooden frame. At each wooden stud, a thermal bridge occurs where energy is lost, and insulation is diminished. These studs make up almost a quarter of the wall and significantly affect the efficacy of the insulation’s design.
InSoFast insulation panels, on the other hand, create continuous insulation and the system is free from thermal breaks. The embedded studs within each panel are non-conductive and serve the same function as the wooden frame. The panels connect tightly, and the studs are firmly enmeshed within the panel and don’t lessen the strength of the insulation.
Faster and Easier Installation
Traditional fiberglass insulation is not an easy project for do-it-yourselfers. It requires skill, tools, assistance, and time. For the system of fiberglass insulation to function properly, it should be free of gaps that promote air circulation.
The InSoFast insulation products we offer are ideal for all sizes of projects, from the smallest to the most expansive. Tongue and groove notches on the sides of the panels encourage gap-free alignment, with the only tools needed being a caulking gun, utility knife, saw, and spray foam insulation for gaps and edges.
