Insulating Exterior Walls with InSoFast Insulation Panels
InSoFast FP-2.5NRW (EXe 2.5) engineered panels come as 2’x4’x2 ½” pieces of injection-molded, closed-cell, non-porous EPS foam precisely designed with several key features.
These panels provide rot-resistant framing through the embedded studs found every 16″ within the panels. This frame is purpose-driven and well-insulated, used to apply the panels to the walls and the chosen cladding materials.
Additional features within the panel include:
- Continuous insulation with an R-10.5 thermal efficiency that outperforms fiberglass insulation labeled as R-15
- Drainage channels on both sides for maximum weather resistance
- Straightforward, stackable, and lightweight panel design for easy transport and a small or single-person crew of installers even with limited experience
- Tongue-and-groove alignment notches for an assured straight and true alignment and tape-free, effortless installation
Exterior-appropriate panels from InSoFast function well as a secondary weather-resistant barrier and as a capillary break for wooden framed homes. Because the system will fully encapsulate the home exterior, you do not have to pre-treat the exterior for paint, trim, or wood issues. Our panels simplify the exterior insulation process by blending the functions of rain screening, insulating, attaching, and flashing within one panel.
Cladding options to accompany a system of exterior InSoFast insulation are limited to 2″ thin cladding finishing materials. From thin brick to stucco, vinyl, and more, you can mix and match according to your preferences using the same structural framing.
Sample kits can give potential homeowners a realistic idea of the simple installation process. The only tools you’ll need include a nail or screw gun or a caulking gun with construction adhesive, a utility knife to adjust the panel size and a saw to cut through the polypropylene studs as needed, canned spray foam to seal up small gaps and edges, and static guard for easier cleanup.
When you purchase a full supply for your project, we will deduct the cost of the sample kit from the total supply price.
If you’re a visual learner, take heart! We offer an ample supply of videos for your edification. Our videos leave no matter unaddressed. You will be surprised by how simple our products will add insulation to exterior walls, with no sacrifice required.
InSoFast insulation is the best type to use for exterior walls. They outperform fiberglass insulation with higher R-values, withstand the tests of time in a way other products can’t, and provide a DIY and cost-effective alternative. Learn more by calling (888) 396-9677 or reaching out online.
