If your basement is a cold, damp place that you don’t like to visit, InSoFast has some recommendations for transforming it into a rec room, spare bedroom, or home office. Our InSoFast insulation panels will help you make your basement a quiet, comfortable, and healthy haven while lowering your energy costs.
InSoFast insulation panels are the superior option for insulating your basement’s interior. From the ceiling to the walls, and even the floor, line your room with this closed-cell, injection-molded Expanded Polystyrene foam panel product for an affordable and effective outcome!
The InSoFast product line has quickly become the standard for DIYers in the know, but it wasn’t always that way. Founded in 2006, InSoFast began as a commercial-scale product, but the revolutionary nature of the simple and versatile design spurred a rapid crossover appeal for all builders – professional and hobbyist alike.
Weighing the Alternatives
Alternative options for insulation exist, but they’re not the best choice for your basement. Fiberglass, for example, is a poor choice because of the complicated nature of installation and its tendency to mildew after absorbing moisture.
Spray foam, which is applied directly onto the basement walls, makes a vapor barrier that’s quite effective, but this option is highly expensive, messy, and time intensive.
The best option for basement insulation remains InSoFast insulation panels. They’re affordable and easy to install while working impressively well. Grab your caulk gun and utility knife along with the saw of your choice and install an effective system of insulation that won’t break down or lose effectiveness over time.
Detailing the Benefits of InSoFast
The continuous insulation that InSoFast provides comes by way of 24×48 inch interlocking panels with various thicknesses, depending on the strength of insulation you need.
The UX 2.0 panel has a 2” depth and a flat surface with exposed faces of the embedded studs. The R-value is 8.5, but it outperforms traditional batt walls with an R-value of 13. The special design features include drainage channels to wick away moisture, rot-resistant framing to promote durability, electrical raceways to facilitate electrical wiring setup, and a simple, stackable, lightweight, interlocking design to will required less manpower. For meeting base-level code, this panel option is right on the money.
If you require a higher insulating power, the EXi 2.5 panel is half an inch thicker and offers an R-value of 10 that outperforms R-15 traditional batt walls. The tongue-and-groove edges and the embedded, non-ferrous studs promote a tighter fit that remains true and straight, even over the irregularities of the typical basement wall.
InSoFast EPS foam panels are made in America and shipped free within the contiguous United States from our sites in South Dakota, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Idaho.
