As your home grows older and your electric bills rise, consider insulating exterior foundation walls to finally win the battle against the elements. With InSoFast insulation panels and the videos we have uploaded showing you how to perform the project efficiently and appropriately, you will have the materials and the skills to do the job entirely on your own.
The Application of InSoFast Insulation Panels
The addition of InSoFast exterior insulation panels to the walls of your home is an innovative way to make your home airtight and energy efficient much easier and faster. The panels, made of closed-cell Expanded Polystyrene foam, are 2 1/2” thick and include dual drainage channels to mitigate moisture.
When installed on your home’s exterior, these panels contribute a secondary weather barrier and a built-in rot-resistant frame to support the panels on the home as well as finishing materials on the panels.
InSoFast insulation panels for your home’s exterior facilitate a one-person installation and a minimal budget. They provide 10.5 R-value and outperform fiberglass insulation labeled as R-15 due to the tight fit and embedded non-conductive studs. You will not find another insulation product more in-line with exterior applications.
The installation of our panels is pretty self-explanatory. The notched alignment edges make alignment true and straight, the fit tight, and mistakes almost impossible. To fit the panels into the system, users can cut the panels with a utility knife through the foam and a saw through the studs. Affixing the panels requires a screw or nail gun to secure the panels to the structure. Some users also choose construction or masonry adhesive.
Before installation, you will not have to remediate the home. Trim and lead paint can be enveloped into the system as it is. A system of InSoFast insulation can go directly over the existing house wrap.
Once you have the InSoFast insulation panels in place, finishing materials will follow. A few of the material options include the following:
- Cultured Stone Veneer
- Thin Brick Veneer
- Vented Rain Screen
- Cement Board Siding
- Steel Siding
- 3-Coat Stucco
- Vertical Siding
- Vertical Siding Rain Screen
The finishing process works exactly as it does with a wooden frame. The finishing material can be screwed in directly into the embedded studs; the panels even include indicator lines to make the process even easier.
