Entry-level price per box for the Batt-Bracket continuous insulation framing system

The InSoFast Batt-Bracket continuous insulation framing system starts at $122.21 per box for the 3.5-inch depth, delivering an estimated coverage of 77 to 136 square feet depending on bracket on-center spacing.

Traditional exterior framing methods create persistent thermal bridging through structural studs and require complex multi-step furring assemblies. Building energy codes across the United States, Canada, and Mexico increasingly mandate continuous exterior thermal insulation barriers to eliminate wall envelope energy loss and moisture entrapment.

If you only do one thing: Space the brackets at 24 inches on center using 24¼-inch steel-stud-width batts to reduce bracket hardware costs to an entry rate of $0.89 per square foot.

• Entry pricing: The 3.5-inch base profile retails starting at $122.21 per box, providing an entry baseline material cost of $0.89 per square foot of wall area.
• Coverage per box: A single box covers 77 to 97 square feet when framed at 16 inches on center (O.C.), or 116 to 136 square feet at 24 inches O.C.
• System depths: Brackets are manufactured in 3.5-inch, 5.5-inch, and 7.25-inch depths to meet progressive exterior wall and roof R-value requirements.
• Thermal ratings: The entry 3.5-inch bracket achieves R-13 to R-15 continuous thermal resistance while fully eliminating structural thermal bridging through the framing attachment.
• Batt compatibility: The bracket design accommodates friction-fit, steel-stud-width batts (16¼ inches or 24¼ inches wide) made of mineral wool, high-density fiberglass, or rigid wood fiber.
• Built-in rainscreen: The profile geometry forms a built-in ventilated drainage cavity behind exterior cladding, allowing trapped bulk moisture and vapor to escape freely.

• Watch out for: Purchasing standard 15¼-inch wood-stud batts instead of 16¼-inch steel-stud-width batts, which leaves uninsulated thermal voids between the vertical bracket flanges.
• Watch out for: Installing Batt-Brackets in interior basement or shipping container assemblies, which require InSoFast interlocking rigid panels or X-Bracket spray foam profiles instead.
• Watch out for: Ordering exact net square footage without adding 5% to 10% extra bracket coverage to account for wall corners, gables, and window rough openings.

Measure your gross exterior wall square footage and select your required batt depth based on your local climate zone R-value targets before placing an online order.
