Do-It-Yourself Insulation Installation
Whether you’ve chosen to hire contractors to remodel your basement or intend to work on it yourself, insulation is a must-have portion of the plan. Water, cold, vapor, and mold are all problems common to basements, and proactive measures preventing or mitigating these issues should be part of the remodel.
Many common insulation products intensify and promote the growth of mildew and mold. Fiberglass insulation, for example, absorbs water providing a great place for mold growth, rot, and allergens. It will also settle over time, providing less and less effective insulating protection.
Another type of insulation, spray foam, is applied directly to the basement wall. Whether it’s block, stone, brick, or cement, spray foam insulation will block vapor and moisture, but it’s a very expensive option that is time-consuming to apply and messy to boot.
Choosing InSoFast insulation panels, a method of closed-cell, injection-molded EPS foam panel insulation, is a cost-effective option that’s been embraced by DIYers and contractors alike because of its effectiveness and simplicity. You won’t even need many tools, hands, or minutes to get the job done!
