Here’s an Article Summary: Batt Bracket 5.5″ Release – January 2026
The InSoFast Batt Bracket 5.5″, releasing January 2026, is a high-performance exterior insulation solution designed for builders, contractors, and architects across the United States and Canada. Engineered for cold climates, mixed climates, and high-performance building zones, the 5.5″ bracket enables cost-effective continuous batt insulation using, mineral wool, wood-fiber and other high density insulation batts. Its deeper cavity helps meet modern code requirements, making it ideal for energy-efficient construction in areas like the Northeast, Upper Midwest, Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountain states, and Atlantic Canada.
The Batt Bracket 5.5″ reduces thermal bridging, improves moisture management with a built-in rainscreen, and supports a wide range of cladding systems common in diverse regional markets—from fiber cement in the Northwest to metal siding in Northern climates and wood siding across the Northeast and Canada. Made in the USA and designed for jobsite efficiency in urban, suburban, and rural markets, it offers a scalable, affordable path to high-R wall assemblies for both residential and light-commercial projects throughout North America.
Introducing the Batt - Bracket 5.5″
A Breakthrough in Continuous Batt Insulation
InSoFast is expanding its lineup of high-performance insulation products with the release of the Batt – Bracket 5.5″, arriving January 2026. This new bracket is engineered to help builders create affordable continuous insulation assemblies using standard batt insulation—delivering high R-values and dramatically reduced thermal bridging.
For builders, remodelers, architects, and energy-efficiency professionals looking for a smarter way to meet modern energy codes, the Batt Bracket 5.5″ introduces a cost-effective, easy-install solution that transforms how batt insulation performs on the exterior side of the wall.
Benefits of the Batt Bracket 5.5"
- Higher R-Value Potential
Accommodates thicker batt insulation for improved wall performance and greater thermal comfort. - Optimized for Modern Energy Codes
Gives builders an economical path to achieving IECC and stretch code requirements. - Ideal for High-Performance and Passive-Inspired Envelopes
More depth means more flexibility in achieving airtight, thermally stable wall assemblies. - Durable & Moisture-Resistant
InSoFast’s structural polymer resists rot, corrosion, and mold—ensuring long-term stability. - Designed for Real-World Jobsite Efficiency
Brackets align easily, accept mechanical fasteners, and help streamline exterior insulation work.
For builders who want to boost R-values without redrawing their entire wall detail, the Batt Bracket 5.5″ offers higher performance with familiar materials.
How the Batt Bracket 5.5″ Outperforms Traditional Exterior Insulation
Lower Material Costs vs. Rigid Foam CI
Rigid foam can be expensive, especially at thicker R-value levels. The Batt Bracket allows you to use cost-efficient batt insulation while still delivering the benefits of a continuous insulation layer.
Simplified Installation
Batt insulation slides into place between brackets—no multi-layer foam seams, taping, or complex detailing.
Superior Drying Potential
The built-in rainscreen gap creates ideal conditions for drying, helping prevent trapped moisture and improving the long-term health of the wall assembly.
Fewer Thermal Bridges
Traditional furring strips or direct cladding attachments conduct heat. Batt-Brackets interrupt that pathway for significantly improved thermal performance.
