InSoFast Panels Provide Continuous Insulation

InSoFast insulation panels are engineered to provide continuous insulation through 24×48” interlocking panels that come with a set of quality features in an array of thicknesses. These panels connect tightly, allowing no thermal loss, and they won’t break down over time.

InSoFast Panels Help Protect from the Destruction of Moisture

Specifically designed channels in the InSoFast panel body prevent moisture from getting trapped in your walls. While your basement will still require waterproofing if it has issues with moisture, these channels do help control the problem.

InSoFast Is DIY-Friendly

The attributes that make InSoFast products DIY friendly are largely related to installation. The panels are easy to cut down to size when you have small gaps remaining that need insulation. A handsaw, table saw, or jig saw are all sufficient.

In addition to some sort of saw, the only other tools you’ll need include a utility knife, a caulking gun, plenty of Loctite PL Premium 3x Stronger Construction Adhesive, and a can of spray foam insulation to seal the edges when done. Because the insulation panels fit together so seamlessly and tightly, you won’t need any tape to stabilize the construction as it builds.

Another reason do-it-yourselfers often choose InSoFast insulation panels is that they’re not bulky or difficult to handle during construction. They stack easily and are not too heavy to carry around effortlessly.

InSoFast insulation panels include embedded studs every 16 inches on center. These studs simplify applying the panels to the wall with either glues or screws. The studs also provide strength to hold drywall, cabinets, TVs, or other mounted additions.

Finally, InSoFast insulation panels go beyond insulation with the built-in electrical raceways that run horizontally and vertically. They make running wires and installing outlets a breeze – no complicated planning required.
