Begin with an Evaluation of the Basement
Checking out the current condition of your basement is the obvious place to start when planning a remodel. If your basement retains the finishes of cement walls and concrete floors from the original build, your project will begin with an assessment of the needs for waterproofing followed by the insulation of installation.
InSoFast insulation panels should play a significant role in your basement remodel. While not a waterproofing solution, they do provide weather resistance for homes. With our insulation panels, the entire insulation process can be complete in less than a day, and the electric and drywall work can proceed without delay.
The insulating power of InSoFast insulation panels comes from the closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam that makes up the panels. They’re designed to work when applied against any flat surface – making them perfect for the cold floors and walls of your un-remodeled basement.
Stay Under the DIY Umbrella
If you’re performing your remodel without hiring contractors, InSoFast is the right choice. InSoFast insulation panels offer professional-degree quality without requiring professional skills.

InSoFast Insulation Panels Evaluated
The InSoFast insulation panels fit together into walls of continuous insulation. Each panel has a regular size of 2’x4’ and a depth of either 2” or 2.5”.
The UX 2.0 panel’s 2.5” thickness produces an R-value of 8.5, and when constructed into a wall of continuous insulation, it outperforms traditional insulation labeled as R-13.
The EXi 2.5 insulation panel is ½” thicker and produces an R-value of 10 for 20% greater insulation. The continuous insulation systems also outperform traditional insulation significantly. This product outperforms traditional insulation labeled as R-15.
Once your insulation systems are in, you will cover them with drywall by screwing it into the embedded studs. These studs are as strong as 20-gauge steel studs, so you can install a flat-screen in your man-cave, shelving for a library or office, or whatever mounted accessories you might have.
