These are some of the tools and supplies that you will need to install InSoFast to your walls that is now available at Menards.
You will want to
• Measure
• Mark
• Cut
• And fit
the panels before you adhesively or mechanically attach them to your walls.
• Tape measure
• A dark marking pen
• A razor knife with extra blades for cutting and trimming the foam panel
When cutting across the panel and through the studs it is necessary to use
• A sharp tooth hand saw
• jigsaw
• Or Skill saw
Once you have completed the measure, mark and cut phase you are ready to either adhesively or mechanically attach your panels to the wall.
For adhesive applications, USE the Loctite® PL® Premium Polyurethane Construction Adhesive in the 28 ounce tubes. One 28 ounce tube of adhesive is enough to install 6 InSoFast panels, 48 square feet.
If you choose to use fasteners a few extra tools and supplies are needed.
• A hammer drill
• Proper length concrete drill bit
• Concrete screw manufacturers recommend a minimum of one inch penetration into the substrate. Add 2 inches to the screw length to compensate for the depth of our stud
• A Tapcon 3/16” by 3 ¼” will work
Now that the panels are installed you are ready to air seal your project. To do this we recommend using a spray foam adhesive to fill any gaps in the insulation’s thermal barrier.
• At the floors
• Corners
• Damages that occurred during installation
• And any other penetrations or gaps
For electric locate the raceways marked on the front of the panel and remove the foam.
• Run your wires vertically and horizontally.
• Install the electrical box and roughed in wires.
• Spray foam and seal the box.
Next trim any foam over spray and you are ready to install your finish material, for drywall, use a standard length course thread drywall screw.
