InSoFast UX 2.0 Insulation Panels
The base level InSoFast panel still exceeds efficiency requirements for most regions. While the 2” thick panel has an R-value of 8.5, it outperforms traditional fiberglass batt insulation with an R-value of 13. This panel includes non-ferrous embedded studs and a lightweight, stackable design.
InSoFast EXi 2.5 Insulation Panels
The next level up of InSoFast insulation is 20% stronger than the UX 2.0 panel. The additional thermal protection comes from a ½” thicker panel and deeper embedded studs that allow for a tighter fit even when applied against the irregularities commonly found on a cement basement wall. The resulting wall of insulation is true and straight naturally due to the way that the panels connect to one another.
Noteworthy Features
InSoFast insulation panels feature built-in raceways for running wiring, making the installation of electric and other services easier. The raceways have both a horizontal and vertical orientation. With a utility knife, the foam can be cut to hold an outlet box, making these panels ideal for easy installation of circuitry as well as insulation.
InSoFast panels also feature drainage channels to make sure that moisture flows away from the walls. This level of protection doesn’t make the insulation system a full waterproofing solution, though. Prior to the installation of InSoFast insulation, you should determine whether your basement will require waterproofing measures.
