The features that make InSoFast panels so easy for do-it-yourselfers to use include:
- Cut to fit with handsaw, jigsaw, sabre saw or table saw
- Seamless interlocking edges require no taping
- Easy to handle 2’x4’ panels stack like LEGO® bricks
- Notched alignment system ensures that panels and studs stay aligned during installation
- Built in embedded stud framing aligns every 16-inches on center to simplify gluing
- Built in electrical raceways run horizontally and vertically along the edge of every panel and enable you to install electrical boxes anywhere you need them
- Moisture control channels prevent moisture from becoming trapped in walls
- Straight surface supports drywall and paneling, as well as cabinets and TVs
InSoFast UX 2.0 panels have a 2-inch depth and provide energy efficiency with an R-value of 8.5. The flat surface of each panel displays the embedded studs held within the EPS foam. The panels also provide built-in rot-resistant framing, raceways for wiring, and moisture control channels. Also, the light weight and stackable panel design makes the product convenient to transport and apply. This series is perfect for those seeking affordable insulation that meets all base level code requirements.
InSoFast EXi 2.5 panels are a step up from the UX 2.0 option. With a half inch thicker panel and a tighter connection among panels, this series provides 20% stronger insulation. The system will stay true and straight because of the tight fit and the panels’ ability to bridge slight irregularities, making it a great remedy for concrete basement walls.
The InSoFast PLUS method is another option that works well for those seeking an even higher R-value. By placing a generic foam board on top of a system of InSoFast insulation panels, you’ll increase the cumulative energy efficiency of the overall system.
