Key Advantages of Structural Insulated Panels

The list of key advantages of structural insulated panels is long. From greater affordability to strength, longevity, and convenience, the benefits of choosing products like InSoFast insulation panels should not be overlooked. Our products make construction easy with interlocking notches that eliminate taping, and they can be installed with few tools.

Typically, structural insulated panels (SIPs) are made from a foam board of insulation with a structured surface on either side. They’re generally stronger than constructions with wood framing, and InSoFast insulation systems are terrific examples of such. You’ll find that our insulation panels, beginning with the UX 2.0 panel, are perfect for remodeling and new construction and are an excellent do-it-yourself project.

Key Advantages of Structural Insulated Panels

The InSoFast UX 2.0 Panel – This panel features a 2” thickness and embedded studs with faces displayed along the fat surface. All of our panels are made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam with a fire-retardant additive and function as a Class III vapor barrier!

The R-value of 8.5 produced by the continuous insulation of the UX 2.0 panel system outperforms traditional insulation with higher R-values up to an R-13. The design is simple and the panels are stackable. You’ll have no trouble transporting, maneuvering, and working with these products.

The systems also create a rot-resistant frame, include moisture control channels, and provides great energy efficiency at a budget-friendly cost.

The InSoFast EXi 2.5 Panel – A half inch thicker, an R-value of 10, and 20% more insulating strength, this panel is a step above the UX option. Through tighter connections and deeply embedded studs, the system is able to bridge irregularities without sacrificing straightness. With the same 2’x4’ dimensions as the UX 2.0 panels, the EXi 2.5 option is similarly easy to work with.

InSoFast insulation panels are closed-cell Expanded Polystyrene foam structural insulated panels. They provide hefty insulation power along with many advantages for diverse applications. You’ll be able to insulate interior and exterior walls as well as floors and ceilings.

Other advantages of choosing structural insulated paneling include stronger structure, higher energy efficiency, thinner walls, compatibility with other construction materials, and flexibility of design. The need for wood framing will disappear, as will the vulnerability to rot, termites, and other pests that love the taste of wood.

The time saved by using SIPs shouldn’t be overlooked. The very name of our products – InSoFast insulation – characterizes this advantage. You’ll also need less help and no special tools. With a caulking gun, construction adhesive, utility knife, and saw, the panels will go in quickly.

Once construction is complete, the insulation will be airtight. No drafts will exist to detract from your A/C or heater’s effectiveness. Utility bills will be lower; noise will be lessened; and mold, mildew, and pests will be less likely to intrude upon your home.
