Default BASF Walltite?

It sounds like a fantastic product...R6 per inch, which makes a 2x6
stud wall about R33 (instead of R20 with fiberglass batt insulation).
Structural support. *No vapour barrier required. *Resistant to mold.
Fills in all gaps (unlike batt insulation), so minimal air leakage.
Etc. etc.

I just got a quote done up for my basement (92 linear feet @ R24).
Total came to about $2700 (installed). *An 'equivalent' fiberglass/XPS
installation would cost about $1300 in raw materials, and I would lose
about 10 square feet due to added wall thickness.

Does anyone think that the additional cost (2x) is justified?

Here's a link to a local company that supplies the product:http://www.healthyhomesprayfoam.com/


Is that finished to paint with drywall. Is it a below grade, if there
are moist walls you will have mold you need to know about leaks and
moisture. Foam off gasses, for how long or how much and if it can make
you sick is real hard to find out info on, remember UFFI that ruined
houses, There are water base foams of 5R " that I dont think offgass.
Its a good product GE foam is R7, for pricing you need to get bids,
for health concerns you need to research it. With oil up foams price
wont get any cheaper.
