Tightening up a drafty house by adding insulation to the exterior walls is an out-of-the box idea worthy of consideration, and the best type of insulation for this project is InSoFast insulation panels.
Insulation is measured in units called R-value. This level refers to the strength of insulation with a directly proportional relationship: the higher the number, the more resistance to energy loss the material exhibits. InSoFast insulation panels are a system-based approach that we have patented and patents pending and are appropriate for a broad range of insulation applications.
Our company, InSoFast, LLC, started in 2006, marketing our insulation panels to commercial construction projects. We ship direct-from-factory to sites throughout the contiguous US even as we’ve grown in popularity as a home improvement material with the professional and DIY markets alike.
Understanding R-Value and Maximizing Its Effectiveness
Insulating products are meant to prevent heat from entering or exiting the interior of a building. During the summer, it keeps heat out, and during winter, it keeps the warmed air inside. In addition to increasing comfort, quality insulation will keep utility costs low.
The three factors that determine R-value include:
- Thickness
- Density
- Material
Colder climates demand higher R-values, and InSoFast insulation panels can meet any R-value needed.
In addition to providing buildable insulation, InSoFast insulation panels provide a gap-free system of coverage that maximizes the insulation in a way that fiberglass batt insulation can’t. Fiberglass insulation requires a wooden frame for support, and at every single stud location, leakage of thermal energy occurs, but InSoFast insulation panels include built-in, non-conductive studs buried within the insulation, preventing this leakage.
InSoFast Exterior Insulation Panels
InSoFast, LLC, offers a product for every application, and the exterior appropriate panel is the EXe 2.5 panel. It’s devised for use outdoors, offering a more convenient avenue for insulation.
Highlights of the EXe 2.5 panel:
- R-10 insulation that outperforms traditional insulation with an R-15 insulation label
- Functional as a continuous insulation weather screen assembly
- Dual-sided moisture control channels for maximized protection from the elements
- 2 ½” deep panels
- Suitable for application directly over the existing home
InSoFast Insulation PLUS Process
While our panels meet and go beyond all existing and future energy codes, you can meet the demands of any climate by using the PLUS method. Install the EXe 2.5 panels over a base rigid insulation panel for a cumulative R-value, ramping up your exterior insulation coverage up to R-21 levels.
Simple Installation
The exterior application of InSoFast insulation panels is simple. The panels can be modified with a utility knife through foam and a saw through the studs to fit specific areas, and attachment requires a nail or screw gun to apply them directly onto the existing exterior.
Benefits of Ordering a Sample
Being able to touch and see for yourself the product you’re considering ordering is quite beneficial. That’s why we offer a sample kit available for purchase, and we also offer to refund the price of the sample when you place an order for a full project.
