I spaced my "false wall" about 1/2" away from the existing concrete wall
(already treated by a previous owner with DryLok or something similar)
with a sheet of heavy plastic sheeting in between (just in case) and
attached it to the floor and the joists.

BTW, I used 2x6 studs to get the extra thickness (and corresponding
higher R-value) of insulation: R-19.

Hi Folks, I'm looking for the best way to attach 2X4 studs to a cement
basement wall. I plan on painting the wall with a moisture barrier
paint (DRYLOCK) then installing the studs, Ridged foam insulation
between then a vapor barrier, then drywall.
Hi,
R19 on a baement wall? Wow!
