Insulation type
Hi, I started to finish the basement. One wall I only put up 2 inch foam board
on the concrete wall as this is where the utilities are. Town wants the foam covered with sheetrock. So, I framed another 2X4 wall in front of the foam, question is do I install faced or not fiberglass in the new wall? Attached is a sketch. Cellar is dry, summer I use a dehumidifier at about 40%. I live in Ct. Thanks -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...e-1123410-.htm |

Jon Agree and if the new insulation is the one with the barrier, it should face inside the basement. |

I live in Ct. Thanks I don't see schetch. I worry more about moisture from wall, not room. The foam should be enough break, so I would not want to make a non breathable section. No facing, or facing near foam. Greg |
