InSoFast Outperforms Conventional Wall Systems A Wall System built with InSoFast Panels will outperform a Frame Wall with R-15 Fiberglass Insulation in 17 categories! Framed Walls InSoFast Wall System A concrete wall along with a 2x4 wall framed InSoFast panels Installed against a Wall System at 16"o.c. installed with R-15 fiberglass concrete wall with a drywall finish.
