As your DIY basement remodeling project gets underway, you may be wondering about the best insulation to use for the interior walls. Consider the lightweight, easy-to-install, cost-effective insulation panels from InSoFast that can help you insulate it properly.
InSoFast, LLC, established in 2006, develops energy efficient building systems that exceed present and future energy codes, outperform the competition, and simplify the construction process. Our patented EPS insulation panels are manufactured and shipped to project sites across the country from our manufacturing facilities in Idaho, Massachusetts and Minnesota.
About InSoFast
InSoFast is a style of engineered continuous insulation that comes in 2-foot x 4-foot interlocking panels of varying depths. The UX 2.0 Panel is 2-inches thick with a flat surface that exposes the face of the embedded studs. With a continuous R-value of 8.5, rot-resistant framing, drainage channels, electrical raceways, and a simple, stackable interlocking design, this panel is exceptionally cost-effective for base-level code requirements.
When you need a thicker panel with a higher R-value, the EX 2.5 Panel, at 2 ½-inches thick, is a great choice. Its tighter interlocks and recessed studs keep the EX barrier truer and straighter, enabling it to bridge over cups, bows and other irregularities in concrete basement walls. This InSoFast panel’s continuous R-value of 10 outperforms traditionally framed R-15 batt walls and provides 20% more insulation than our UX panels.
The InSoFast moisture control channels are designed to redirect the flow of potential moisture so that it does not become trapped in your walls and cause problems. However, InSoFast panels should not be considered a waterproofing solution. If your basement needs waterproofing, it must be done before InSoFast is installed.
