Insulating a basement can be a critical step in creating a comfortable space and an effective way to lower your utility bills. Either way, finding the right method for how to insulate a basement is as close as InSoFast EPS foam panels. Our system of InSoFast insulation paneling is an easy and fast answer for those seeking affordable and effective insulation.
InSoFast facilities located in Idaho, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Massachusetts produce patented and patent-pending Expanded Polystyrene foam panels for use indoors, outdoors, and on all flat surfaces – including cold basement floors.
InSoFast insulation panels will create an energy efficient building system. Our insulation meets present and future energy codes. The continuous insulation outperforms most traditional fiberglass insulation and simplifies many of the steps of construction projects.
Insulation for Your Basement
Time will be on your side when you choose InSoFast insulation panels. The standard design is meant to facilitate installation, requiring few tools and limited experience. They’re lightweight and stack like Legos, so you’ll have little trouble moving them around and putting them up.
With a stack of panels, a caulking gun loaded with Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive, a utility knife, a saw, and a can of spray foam insulation, you’ll be fully prepared to begin insulating your basement.
Continuous insulation via panels that connect with tongue-and-groove notches is the hallmark of our insulation panels. While the available panels differ in size and R-values, they consistently provide convenience in regard to both installation and other construction processes.
The Series of InSoFast Insulation Products
The initial, base level InSoFast insulation product is the UX 2.0 panel. Each panel has a flat surface that displays the faces of the non-conductive studs embedded within. The panel’s resistance to energy loss, known in the industry as the R-value, is 8.5, but the system as a whole is continuous and outperforms traditional insulation options of R-13. These panels also feature a rot-resistant frame, drainage channels, and wiring raceways.
The next level up from the base insulation is the InSoFast EXi 2.5 insulation panel. It has a depth of 2 ½ inches and an R-value of 10. Systems made from these panels outperform traditional insulation with R-values of 15 and are 20% stronger than the UX InSoFast panel. With interlocking notches and deeply embedded studs, these panels can bridge slight irregularities like those found on concrete walls, especially those in basements.
When you choose InSoFast insulation for your basement remodel, you gain additional benefits.
Convenient wiring is one of these benefits. It’s made possible through the vertical and horizontal wiring raceways built-into the panels. Run your wire anywhere and cut out space in the foam for outlets with a handy utility knife.
Moisture control channels are another unexpected benefit. These channels direct moisture away from the walls, preventing it from being trapped and causing serious problems to the structure and health of the occupants.
While planning out how to insulate a basement in your home as a remodeling project or during new construction, choose the convenience, cost-effectiveness, and speed of InSoFast insulation panel systems.
