Cold Weather Installation
If you opt to use a power nail gun in colder weather to install InSoFast panels and/or siding, it is only recommended that the temperatures are above 60° F. It is up to the contractor, and/or building official to determine the suitability for the use of power nail guns when installing siding. The contractor should verify that the fasteners do not crack the stud and are not over or under-driven into the stud. If you have questions or need specific cold weather nailing options please call our technical department.

Suggested products for Commercial Exteriors
EXe 2.5
Panels
Closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam body achieves R-10 insulation. Built into the front and back of the EX panel is a network of shingle-style capillary channels. They comply with Oregon Residential Speciality Code section R701.1 allowing the panel to serve as a certified rainscreen for exterior applications.
InSoFast Plus Method
Need a higher R-value? It’s easy to increase your R-Value beyond R-10 while maintaining the engineered benefits of the continuous InSoFast panels. Simply add rigid foam insulation board over top of InSoFast panels. This saves money by utilizing locally obtained rigid foam to enhance the R-Value. Additionally, projects can be completed in a fraction of the amount of time because they start with a base of feature-rich, low-labor InSoFast panels.
