InSoFast Flat Panel EXe 2.5 is a feature rich continuous insulation panel. The EXe is optimized for exterior wall applications

For legal sake, we should probably clarify that you can try InSoFast panels at home. We don't necessarily condone trying the rock-climbing part at home.

The InSoFast Panel features built-in drainage channels that are specifically designed to direct the flow of moisture out of the wall.

Side Jamb Flashing Detail describes how to flash around an exterior window. This process added a 2 1/2" extension jamb so that the window will sit flush with InSoFast insulation panels. The jamb also provides an attachment point for siding.

Sill Flashing Detail describes how to flash around the sill of a  window. This process added a 2 1/2" extension jamb so that the window will sit flush with InSoFast insulation panels. 

Typical Head Jamb Flashing Detail to direct water around and away from the window opening.

This video illustrates a method for installing a pre-engineered insulated window buck being nailed to the wall. Additionally it shows a nail gun applying the panels to the wall.

This video illustrates the use of a starter track along the base of a home. The track contains special "weep holes" which direct moisture off and away from the surface of the home.

Built-in stud framing allows for fast installation exterior continuous insulation. During warmer weather the insulation can be nailed to the wall.

Attaching Siding directly to the built-in stud framing of the insulation panels. During warmer weather the insulation can be nailed to the wall.

In this video we demonstrates how Dan and the crew of MJ Builders attach James Hardie siding board to InSoFast panels. Dan illustrates a few techniques to assure a 32" offset of the lap siding. 

InSoFast Metal colored flashing roof detail. This is coil stock metal bent to protects the exposed InSoFast Foam from UV degradation.

Remodeling the exterior wall with InSoFast and Hardie siding on a 1960's era colonial home to update and give the home a face lift and complete energy retrofit.

Technical description of InSoFast exterior applications over steel studs here we discuss a few of the  different finishes.

Why InSoFast's panel is 24" x 48" expanded polystyrene. InSoFast could have manufactured our panel with any type of insulation and we chose shape molded Expanded Polystyrene. In this video we explain a few of the reasons.

Board and Batten Exterior with InSoFast panels. Our use of board and batten siding demonstrates one of the many exterior finishing choices you have when you insulate with InSoFast.

Tom from TBD Architecture discusses at the PassiveHouse 2016 Conference InSoFast affordability, cost of ownership is a wash! Better to invest in insulation then pay more for energy, which is an uncertain cost over time.

InSoFast exterior project in Minneapolis it isn’t a typical job site with a professionally-trained crew.  This is a Urban Homeworks project coordinated by Minneapolis-based non-profit focused on rebuilding neighborhoods with the help of volunteers and students.

InSoFast exterior insulation vs Complexity (the human factor) why architects and community leaders choose InSoFast. Complex insulation methods are tedious and simple mistakes on the different layers can lead to major problems.
