Installing Insulation on Exterior Walls
Insulation enhances the energy efficiency of a home and the comfort level of its residents. During the winter and summer alike, maintaining stable temperatures will be easier with an effective insulation system. InSoFast continuous insulation panels make installing insulation on exterior walls an uncomplicated, affordable, and incredibly beneficial task.
Selecting Insulation Products
InSoFast insulation products are not your only option for external insulation, but they’re likely the best option for your property.
Sprayed foam insulation is expensive and will require a professional for installation. If you decide on fiberglass insulation, you will have to remove the exterior wall sheathing.
InSoFast insulation can cover the exterior directly without remediation of the exterior sheathing. Installation is simple and can be done with a few simple tools by anyone with a little common sense and the ability to use a drill with a screw bit.
Choosing the Right R-Value
R-value is the unit that indicates resistance to the loss of thermal energy. Spray foam and fiberglass have similar R-values, and the typical wall will hold insulation to produce an R-15 level of coverage. The Department of Energy will suggest an R-value recommendation for your climate.
InSoFast insulation panels offer differing levels of R-value. The EXe 2.5 exterior panel produces an R-value of 10; however, the panel system typically outperforms competing insulation with an R-15 energy efficiency. You can also use our InSoFast PLUS option if your area requires greater insulation.
The Importance of a Vapor Barrier
With no vapor barrier, condensation will accumulate and destroy your insulation and framing. A vapor barrier can prevent this disaster and should accompany any insulation installation.
InSoFast insulation panels serve as a Class III vapor barrier. The dual drainage channels and non-permeable structure provides a weather screen assembly.
