Expanding families need an expansive space. Families in Waukegan, Illinois with unused basement space can transform it into a bedroom or family area with InSoFast insulation and a short period of time.
Basements are often considered damp and cold, so homeowners don’t plan on using the area for living. Instead, they store the rubbish of life within the basement, and in the process, overlook some valuable real estate that could enhance the family’s lifestyle and increase the home’s appraised value.
With InSoFast insulation panels, you can easily remedy the chill and damp common to basement spaces. The panels welcome a DIY approach to residential basement insulation installation.
Shopping for InSoFast insulation panels is easily approached online or at physical Menards locations. For Waukegan-based customers, the Gurnee and Vernon Hills, Illinois locations provide the ultimate in convenient shopping for our panels.
Basement Insulation Products
When you plan to insulate your basement, the ability to resist thermal energy loss will be a major concern. This ability is measured in R-values, and the power of the material to contain energy within the home goes up as the R-value increases.
The insulation you choose for your basement should have a high enough R-value to contain the heated or cooled air without allowing it to escape. Even the base InSoFast 2.0 Flat Panel meets all energy codes and outperforms competing insulation with higher R-values on the label.
Upgrade from Fiberglass Insulation
Traditional fiberglass insulation requires that contractors also incorporate a wooden frame to support it. Unfortunately, this design creates thermal leaks at every single stud location where wood interrupts insulation. InSoFast insulation panels overcome this weakness with continuous insulation coverage. Each panel has embedded studs within the insulation, and the panels connect into a system for a no-leak wall of insulation.
The system also provides a frame that makes drywalling even easier.
