A cold, under insulated basement does not create a pleasant environment. Finishing out the basement of your Duluth, Minnesota home with InSoFast insulation panels will make your entire home warmer, your heating bills lower, and the air quality in the home better.
Installing insulation in basements is a worthwhile project, but it can be complicated by high humidity and moisture. Our products eliminate these complications while simplifying the entire installation process.
InSoFast insulation panel systems work on any flat surface. Our panels provide versatile application options that extend from walls to floors and ceilings as well. Closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam panels connect to one another with no breaks in insulation coverage for a wall system that outperforms competing insulation with a higher R-value.
When InSoFast, LLC, began operations in 2006, the target demographic was commercial builders. The crossover into DIY territory occurred as information about the simple application and strong quality of the insulation became well known. Today, all builders, both professional and do-it-yourselfers, prefer InSoFast insulation panels.
Buying InSoFast insulation panels is simple. You can order a supply on our website and await free delivery to project sites within the continental US, or you can head to your local Menards and make a purchase. In Duluth, you’ll find a Menards on 50th Ave. W or in nearby Hermantown, MN or over the state line in Superior, WI.
The Concrete Wall Situation
When you decide to insulate a basement, you’re forced to deal with a concrete wall situation. Understanding the problems inherent to this endeavor means that you’ll need to appreciate the water-logged nature of concrete. If seeping occurs, you’ll have to install waterproofing measures, but in all cases, you’ll need an insulation that is non-porous.
In short, fiberglass insulation is not a good choice for basement rooms. Fiberglass insulation soaks up moisture and provides a virtual reproductive haven for mold and mildew.
Foam insulation is highly effective, and when sprayed, covers surfaces easily and fills up empty spaces that might otherwise be difficult to reach. However, the process requires professional installation and is quite expensive. Fortunately, closed-cell EPS foam in panel form from InSoFast, LLC, is readily available, affordable, and easily installed.
Installing InSoFast insulation panels requires little more than the panels themselves. Gather a utility knife, a saw, a caulking gun, a supply of construction adhesive, and canned spray foam for the seams and edges. With these implements, and after watching a few of our helpful videos, you’ll be armed and ready to take on the monster of insulating a basement.
