Hello,
I'm hoping for input on the "best" options for temperature and moisture control as I look to finish a basement. I've heard about wood studs, metal studs, or applied furring. I've heard of bat insulation, rigid foam boards, spray foam, using no insulation, or "InSoFast" panels. There seem to be a lot of options out there and people seems to have their favorites, but I'm looking for a good long-term solution.
Here is my situation: 2 year old home with 8" thick poured concrete walls with mastic spray applied waterproofing and WatchDog insulation on the exterior of the foundation. There is exterior and interior drain tile with a sealed sump basket and passive radon venting. The rim joists have (closed cell?) spray foam to R19 and there is spray foam under the slab (which is also run for radiant heat, though it's not hooked up).
Cost is always a factor (the sky is NOT the limit), but within reason I'd rather pay a little more now to have long-term benefits of a comfortable and healthy home. So, what seems to be the best solution in this situation?
Thanks,
Guy
