The best insulation for basement walls is InSoFast insulation panels. The closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam is cost-effective and energy efficient. Banish the dampness and clammy chill common to basement areas with an insulation that is easy to apply and suitable for ceilings and floors as well as the walls.
Established in 2006, InSoFast, LLC, designs and produces insulation products that are intrinsically easy to install, meet and exceed present and future energy codes, and provide a leg up on several steps in construction. InSoFast patent and patent-pending Expanded Polystyrene foam panels will perform well in your basement and can be shipped for free throughout the continental US from our sites in South Dakota, Idaho, Massachusetts, and Minnesota.
Start with a Dry Area
Prior to insulation installation, you must verify that your basement doesn’t have a water issue. Placing insulation on top of perpetually wet surfaces is a bad idea, and weatherproofing would be an appropriate first step in these cases.
Choose the Right Insulation
The right insulation process for your basement will begin with InSoFast EPS insulation panels. Closed-cell, injection-molded panels will go straight onto the surface to facilitate continuous insulation coverage.
Closed-Cell Equals Double the Energy Efficiency
InSoFast insulation panels offer double the R-value, or resistance to energy efficiency, per square inch as opposed to foam panels with open-cell technology. These panels are physically and chemically stable and won’t break down or release toxins over time.
Easy to Install
In addition to being durable and energy efficient, InSoFast insulation panels are affordable and easy to handle. They don’t weigh much and stack like Legos. Furthermore, the only tools you’ll need for installation include a utility knife and saw of some kind, a caulking gun loaded with construction adhesive (Loctite PL Premium 3x Stronger Construction Adhesive), and a can of spray foam insulation to seal up small gaps and seams.
InSoFast Insulation Panels Offer More Than Speedy Insulation
InSoFast UX 2.0 panels, the base level interior option, have an R-value of 8.5, a thickness of 2”, and a fire-resistance and vapor barrier function.
Each panel also provides a frame that doesn’t rot, raceways for wiring, moisture control channels, and a simple to install design.
For a greater R-value, the EXi 2.5 option is 2.5” thick with an R-value of 10. The embedded studs are recessed more deeply, and the interlocking edges allow this system to keep true despite slight irregularities along concrete walls. A system made from this insulation panel is 20% stronger than those created via UX panels.
Following the installation of insulation with a layer of drywall will be as simple as installing the insulation system due to the extremely strong embedded studs found every 16” on center.
In addition to these interior insulation products, InSoFast insulation also comes in panels designed for exterior uses as well as shipping container projects.
