Transforming a creepy, cold basement into a family friendly den, office, or other usable space will involve several processes – two of the most basic being framing and insulation. Fortunately, InSoFast insulation panels work for commercial and home improvement endeavors. The EPS foam panels connect, forming a wall system of continuous, quality insulation.
Available InSoFast Insulation for Interior Applications
InSoFast insulation panels come in two options specifically designed for interior use: UX 2.0 and EXi 2.5.
The base panel, InSoFast UX 2.0, measures 24x48x2 inches and displays the faces of the panel’s embedded studs along its flat surface. Each EPS foam insulation panel includes a fire-retardant additive and functions as a Class III vapor barrier. These panels provide drainage channels, electrical raceways, and a rot-resistant frame, all while providing R-8.5 level energy efficiency.
The next insulating panel is the InSoFast EXi 2.5 insulation panel. This series has the same dimensions as the UX 2.0 with a ½ inch thicker depth. Insulating systems created with these panels have a tighter, truer fit than the base series. While providing the same versatile features, EXi 2.5 panels offer R-15 energy efficiency, a 20% increase from the UX 2.0 option.
Convenience in Insulation Application
Installing InSoFast insulating systems is as easy and fast as the name implies! The edges are designed to interlock, so the system goes up without taping or multiple hands required. You will need a few simple tools including a saw (handsaw, table saw, jig saw, etc.), a caulking gun, Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a can of spray foam insulation, and a utility knife.
Beyond insulation, InSoFast insulation panels facilitate other construction processes – including framing. Embedded studs lie within the panels every 16” on center. These non-ferrous studs are strong; they can support up to 250 pounds apiece. Your drywall and other mounted objects will go up in a jiffy since we even provide indicator lines on the panels for easy identification of each stud.
Providing the required electricity to the basement will also be simple. Each InSoFast insulation panel includes horizontal and vertical extending electrical raceways for simple wiring application.
What Makes InSoFast Insulation Panels Superior?
If the continuous insulating power, easy and fast installation, and additional benefits to construction aren’t enough to convince you of the superior nature of InSoFast insulation panels, we offer plenty of additional benefits for your consideration.
Moisture won’t be able to pervasively damage your home when you choose InSoFast insulation panels. The provided frame will not rot or degrade. Each panel also includes moisture control channels to wick away vapor and moisture.
A thermal bridge occurs as a break in insulation coverage where air can pass, lessening the effectiveness of insulation. The typical pairing of wooden frame and fiberglass insulation experiences thermal bridges at every single location of a wooden stud. InSoFast has no thermal bridging because the studs are non-conductive and embedded within the panels.
