Once you have determined the insulation R-value you’ll need for either adding insulation to an existing basement or new home construction, you can choose the type of insulation, including the following:
* Blanket (batt and roll) insulation
* Concrete block insulation (new construction)
* Foam board insulation
* Insulating concrete forms (new construction)
* Loose-fill insulation (good choice for finished basements)
* Sprayed foam insulation (good choice for finished basements)
The installation of insulation in your basement will depend on the type you choose and the best way to control moisture in your particular climate.
