InSoFast Adds Batt-Bracket and Larger X-Bracket Sizes Engineered for High Wind and Lateral Loads
Mitchell, United States - September 24, 2026 /InSoFast, LLC./
InSoFast has expanded its X-Bracket System with three additional bracket sizes and a new product, the Batt-Bracket, broadening the range of construction applications the system can address.
The expanded lineup introduces new sizing options across the bracket family, extending coverage to a wider set of project types in residential and light commercial construction. The additions are intended to give builders, contractors and installers greater flexibility when specifying continuous insulation brackets for both new construction and retrofit work.
The X-Bracket and Batt-Bracket lines are distinct from InSoFast Panels, the company's original product line and the foundation of its business since 2006. InSoFast Panels are rigid foam insulation boards with integrated framing studs, wiring chaseways and drainage channels, a design protected by U.S. patent. The panels remain unchanged by this expansion and continue to be sold alongside the bracket systems - including basement insulation panels designed for below-grade walls - as part of a unified continuous insulation product lineup.
The updated X-Bracket lineup now includes 5.5-inch, 7.5-inch and 9.5-inch sizes suited to a wider variety of wall assemblies, providing contractors with more options for achieving higher R-values. According to InSoFast, the larger brackets are engineered to withstand wind loads exceeding 200 mph and lateral loads over 300 pounds per square foot.
The new Batt-Bracket is designed to hold standard batt insulation - such as mineral wool or wood-fiber batts - in a continuous configuration, positioning it as a lower-cost alternative to rigid foam continuous insulation systems. The bracket incorporates a built-in rainscreen gap intended to manage moisture behind exterior cladding.
"Our goal is to take the mystery out of high-performance building and make it accessible with tools that just work," said Matt Scherrer, commercial sales director at InSoFast.
The larger X-Bracket sizes are also directed at exterior wall insulation retrofit applications. Retrofitting existing structures presents distinct challenges compared to new construction, including integrating insulation with existing cladding attachment systems and meeting current energy code requirements without full wall disassembly. InSoFast states the expanded sizes give contractors more flexibility to apply continuous insulation brackets to existing buildings with fewer workarounds.
The bracket expansion reflects a broadening of the project types InSoFast targets, extending its reach into light commercial construction alongside residential applications. Contractors working across both markets can source components from a single system rather than specifying separate insulation products for different building types.
Installation methodology remains consistent with the existing product family, meaning contractors already familiar with InSoFast brackets can apply the same techniques to the new sizes without additional training or changes to tooling.
InSoFast manufactures continuous insulation brackets and basement insulation panels for residential and light commercial construction. Founded in 2006 and based in Mitchell, South Dakota, the company produces its products in the United States. Its product line includes continuous insulation brackets, InSoFast Panels and mounting brackets for basement, above-grade and exterior wall applications across new construction and retrofit projects.
