InSoFast EPS insulation panels are the perfect DIY solution for insulating interior walls, floors and ceilings. They are very lightweight, can be easily cut and installed on the jobsite, and require no special safety gear or training to handle.
InSoFast is a style of engineered continuous thermally stable insulation that comes in interlocking panels. The closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam panels can be applied universally to any interior or exterior wall assembly.
About InSoFast Interior Insulation
The InSoFast UX 2.0 Panel is R-8.5 closed-cell, injection-molded continuous EPS foam insulation that comes in 2-foot x 4-foot interlocking panels of varying depths. EPS is a non-toxic, inert insulation that maintains its R-value for the life of your building. The foam body is a fire-retardant material and serves as a Class III vapor barrier.
Each panel is 2-inches thick with a flat surface that exposes the face of the embedded studs. With rot-resistant framing, drainage channels, electrical raceways, and a simple, stackable interlocking design, the UX 2.0 panel is exceptionally cost-effective for base-level code requirements.
When you need a thicker panel with a higher R-value, the EXi 2.5 Panel, at 2 ½-inches thick, is a great choice. Its tighter interlocks and recessed studs keep the EX barrier truer and straighter, enabling it to bridge over cups, bows and other irregularities in concrete basement walls. This InSoFast panel’s continuous R-value of 10 outperforms traditionally framed R-15 batt walls and provides 20% more insulation than our UX panels.
InSoFast insulation panels are also manufactured without any ozone depleting CFCs or HCFCs that could affect the indoor air quality of your home. The closed cell foam is inert and experiences no physical or chemical breakdown over time.
Eliminate Thermal Bridging
A thermal bridge occurs when there is a break in, or penetration of, the insulation envelope which allows heat and cold to pass through undisturbed. Thermal bridging creates cold spots on walls and ceilings, and can encourage interior condensation that contributes to moisture and mold problems.
With traditional fiberglass and wood framing, each wood stud represents a thermal short circuit where moisture-filled, heat-transferring air can pass through the barrier. The stud area accounts for 15% to 25% of the wall surface and significantly reduces the R-value of the fiberglass.
InSoFast panels qualify as continuous insulation (CI) because the integrated, non-conductive polypropylene studs are fully encapsulated by the insulating material, eliminating the potential for thermal bridging to occur. The interlocking grooves also create a tight seal at the intersection of each panel.
InSoFast patented EPS insulation panels are the best insulation for interior walls. We manufacture them in Idaho, Massachusetts and Minnesota and ship them free of charge to project sites across the country. UX 2.0 panels can also be special ordered at many Menards home improvement stores in the Midwest. Call us today at (888) 501-7899 to explore the benefits of InSoFast.
