Basement Wall Insulation

This customers basement wall was uninsulated when we arrived, which can result in a very cold and uncomfortable basement. This is because the bricks are not an effective barrier, air easily flows through these block walls. Block walls are hollow, have a big honeycomb of airspace inside them and can be very porous. Any type of boiler, furnace, water heater or ducts in the basement are wasting the heat that comes off them instead of warmer the room or the floors above it. To fix these issues we installed a SilverGlo foam board which reduces heat flow, stop airflow through the walls, and provide a better seal from your basement walls to the outside of your house. In result the basement can be cooled or heated more effectively while using less energy, all of these things mean a more comfortable home!
