Basement remodeling plans likely include comparisons of products, including insulation. For your Oak Lawn, Illinois home, you’ll find no better option than InSoFast insulation panels. These lightweight, cost-effective, simple to install products are far better than other insulation products.
Since 2006, InSoFast, LLC, has designed, manufactured, and distributed systems of continuous insulation that outperform insulation measures with higher R-values and fall in line with existing energy codes. Our engineered closed-cell EPS foam panels are available online or as close as your nearest Menards. You can shop for our products at the Menards in Bridgeview, Evergreen Park, or Crestwood.
The Most Appropriate Choice for Continuous Insulation
InSoFast insulation panels offer continuous insulation as a wall system of 2’x4’ panels. They inter-connect through notched edges along the panels. Each panel joins to the next in a tight fit, disallowing thermal energy loss. The panels also won’t degrade or break down as the years go by.
The InSoFast UX2.0 insulation panel is the base-level product that we offer. This panel is 2” thick with exposed faces of the embedded side along the flat surface. The panels include a rot-resistant frame, moisture control channels, and electric raceways. This panel line provides an R-value of 8.5 but outperforms traditional R-13 insultation. You’ll have no trouble working with these stackable and lightweight panels, and they meet all base-level codes.
The other interior insulation option from InSoFast, LLC, is the EXi 2.5 insulation panel. It’s 2.5” thick and produces 20% stronger resistance to thermal energy loss than the UX 2.0 panel. The R-10 insulation outperforms fiberglass insulation with an R-15 insulated strength. These panels connect tightly together with recessed studs that are embedded deeper so that the panels can remain straight and true despite any bumps and grooves of the basement wall.
Moisture Protection via InSoFast Insulation Panels
The InSoFast panel design inhibits moisture and vapor from damaging the wall interior. The EPS foam is non-porous, and the moisture control channels along the panel wicks water away from the wall. The continuous insulation system is not a waterproofing solution, but it does offer enhanced protection as compared to other insulation products.
DIY-Friendly InSoFast Insulation Panels
The DIY-friendly features of InSoFast insulation panels are seen in the installation process. As you need to modify the panels, you can cut through the foam with a utility knife and through the embedded studs with a saw of any type – table, handsaw, jig, etc.
The other implements of installation you’ll need include a caulk gun loaded with Loctite PL Premium 3X Stronger Construction Adhesive and canned spray foam insulation. You will not need tape because of the tight connections, and the wall system will grow in strength with each additional panel.
As you install InSoFast insulation panels, you won’t need great strength or extra help. They’re not heavy, bulky, or difficult to store. They stack like blocks and aren’t difficult to manage.
Within every InSoFast insulation panel lie non-ferrous studs embedded every 16” on center. With adhesive or screws, the studs allow the panel to affix to the wall, and the studs provide the purchase to attach drywall and mounted hardware.
The electric raceways build into the InSoFast insulation panels run parallel and perpendicular to make wire installation simple and versatile.
