Rigid insulation works well for exterior walls, and the best option available is InSoFast insulation panels. Meeting and exceeding all existing and projected energy regulations, the closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam insulation panels are simple to install while providing a sufficient R-value and enhanced moisture control.
The Right Insulation Product for the Job
Skepticism over new products for insulation or other construction processes is natural. Tradition holds sway, but an honest consideration of the pros and cons of traditional fiberglass insulation against those of InSoFast insulation products will make the choice much easier.
Fiberglass rolls or batting setups require a wooden frame for cavity installation. The frame itself is problematic because each stud creates a break in thermal coverage and lessens the effectiveness of the insulation system. Our insulation, on the other hand, includes built-in non-conductive studs within the insulation panel. This design allows for continuous insulation with no gaps in coverage.
Fiberglass insulation also settles as time passes. This natural process will lead to less effective insulation and the need to replace or upgrade the insulation system. InSoFast insulation panels don’t break down as time goes by; they’re chemically and physically stable.
Another problem with fiberglass insulation is the absorptive quality of the material. Vapor and condensation lead to mold, mildew, and rotting of the wooden frame. The insulation is rendered largely useless, and the respiratory-hazarding growths will continue without remediation. Further, the insulation can become a safe place for insects and vermin to live and breed. InSoFast insulation panels do not absorb water, resist mold/mildew growth, and inhibit pest infestations as well.
The installation of your insulation system is another consideration. Fiberglass insulation isn’t easily added to the exterior or interior cavity of your home. You’ll have to open the wall and add the material within the frame. InSoFast insulation panels are incredibly easy to install. You don’t need any special skills or tools. With a few videos and blogs as educational resources, along with a utility knife, saw, caulking gun, construction adhesive, and canned spray foam insulation, you’ll be on your way to a successful insulation application. Our reputation for ease and speed is well-deserved due to the design of our product.
Exterior Applications of InSoFast Insulation Panels
Exterior insulation is simplified by InSoFast insulation panels. Our panel specifically designed for use outdoors is the EXe 2.5 insulation panel. Systems made from these panels form continuous insulation that serves as a secondary weather screen assembly. It provides exemplary insulation and moisture control with an R-10 insulation that outperforms R-15 fiberglass insulation. The panels are 24”x48” with a depth of 2 ½” and a stackable design with moisture control channels on each side.
The InSoFast PLUS option allows you to take the R-value even further by using an insulation panel of your choice with an InSoFast insulation layer over it.
Our insulation panels welcome the finishing material of your choice. Whether you choose an absorptive option like stucco or stone or go with vinyl siding or another attached option, InSoFast insulation panels work with them all without any prep work required.
