Why use InSoFast's 2.5 Continuous insulation for Exterior Applications?
The EXe 2.5 is the most versatile exterior insulation panel for commercial and residential construction. The EX panel combines all the best features of continuous insulation, double thermal by-pass attachment, built-in rainscreen, R-10+ insulation, insulated studs, self-flashing interlocks, with just one trip to the wall, the panels ready for finishing. A single panel that eliminates endless trips to the wall and multiple parts, pieces, and confusing guess work with the in the field assemblies. Our instructional videos demonstrate approaches that work, we make it look easy, after all because it is easy to do right. Skilled professionals with years of experience or novice carpenters can simply install the interlocking panels with success.

The InSoFast panel studs provide a simplified approach to wall assembly. The InSoFast stud are injection-molded high-strength recycled polypropylene plastic. Next a special co-molding process expands the foam insulation around the studs forming one solid panel. The studs provide a structural attachment point to the substrate and for the specified finishes.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the International Building Code states that – wall assemblies shall be tested in accordance with and comply with the acceptance criteria of NFPA 285. InSoFast has tested and passed these stringent guidelines, here are a few of the possibilities that will work with the InSoFast continuous insulation panel. Please contact us for specific details.
