Basement Insulation Installation Specifics
Because the basement is more connected to other living spaces than the outside of the house, insulating basement walls is preferable to insulating the basement ceiling. Each has its own advantages.
Exterior wall basement insulation:
- Requires less insulation than insulating the basement’s ceiling
- Maintains continuous thermal and air leakage boundaries
- Reduces heat loss through the foundation of your home
- Allows for minimal increase in the size of heating and cooling equipment
- Reduces the risk of condensation and mildew in the basement
Interior basement ceiling insulation (often the more cost-effective option for insulating your basement):
- Is less expensive to install, especially for pre-existing buildings
- Uses almost any material (blown-in cellulose, fiberglass, etc.)
- Eliminates insect infestation
- Is isolated from the cold climate outdoors, compared to exterior wall insulation
Types of Insulation for Basements
As stated above, we can use several different types of insulation for your Tampa basement, including:
- Spray foam: Typically made of polyurethane, spray foam is applied wet and expands into thick foam. Spray foam insulation can be installed in crevices and hard-to-reach areas and can help reduce air infiltration.
- Rockwool: Rockwool insulation is made of rocks and minerals spun into small, temperature-resistant fibers. It also has soundproofing benefits!
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass, which has been used to insulate homes for decades, is available as loose-fill or batts. Fiberglass is made of tiny glass fibers and is often installed in attics but can be used to insulate basement walls as well.
