When higher R-values are not needed, or wall-depth is an issue, an easy-to-install alternative for basement
walls is a rigid insulation like Owens Corning FOAMULAR
INSULPINK® rigid foam insulation. Their notched-design system makes installation easy and
fool-proof. Panels butt together to form a tight, true barrier against air infiltration and energy loss.

Installation:
|
1. The installation process for rigid foam insulation is much
like that for paneling. The material is attached to the walls
with furring strips that are screwed to the walls at each slot
formed by the joints in the insulation.
|
|
2. This material should be covered with a 15-minute thermal barrier such as gypsum as soon as the insulation is completely installed.
