Methods for Insulating Basement Spaces
Insulation for basement areas exists as a menu of products from which you’ll have to choose the best one for your property, goals, and budget.
Fiberglass insulation is the classic product for insulating purposes. Cheap and available, many homeowners will naturally choose this product without even considering alternatives. However, the installation process will require that you build a wooden frame and itch like you found an ant bed hiding in the basement.
As far as effectiveness goes, fiberglass insulation absorbs moisture and serves as a petri dish for mold and mildew to grow and pollute the air of the entire home.
The continuous coverage of spray foam insulation is an expensive and messy method of insulation. Professionals must come in to spray the foam straight onto the wall. An often unconsidered problem with this method is that you will still have to build a frame to support the drywall you must install.
The best of the options is InSoFast insulation panels. The frame is included, and the foam is closed-cell, non-porous Expanded Polystyrene. Best of all, most novice DIYers find this installation to be an easy project.
InSoFast, LLC, offers products that meet the needs of interior, exterior, and shipping container projects. For basements, homeowners should choose the 2.0 Flat Panel, 2.5 Flat Panel, or InSoFast PLUS method.
