Looking for suggestions. I have an unfinished basement, with unfaced
fiberglass insulation in between the floor joists. I hate the stuff.

I'm facing the same situation, and I've thought about it some,
although I haven't decided on anything yet. Another poster suggested
cotton batt insulation, which seems like a good idea and is one I'm
considering. The other option I've thought of is to attach a small
continuous angle bracket to the bottom of the sides of each joist and
use this to support rigid insulation.

Cheers, Wayne


I have duct work, and wiring in joist area. Rigid seemed like it had
to be 'cut' perfect, or lots of gaps could be an issue. I was
thinking about a rail system close to the edge, and sliding the foam
boards up like drop ceiling tiles. I have to now find a product that
matches my imagination. So I can make comparisons.

thank you,
