Image
The basement is constructed with precast concrete walls lined with R-21.3 foil-faced rigid foam while an R-10 layer of XPS rigid foam covers the ground under the slab.
Image
The basement walls’ interior framing is set in 3 inches from the concrete to allow space for closed-cell foam that is sprayed directly on the concrete, then blown cellulose is added to fill the wall cavity.
Image
The daylight basement walls are made of concrete walls with integrated rigid foam and steel-faced concrete studs.
Image
The existing slab is retrofitted by coating with epoxy paint, then installing rigid foam insulation and a floating subfloor.
Image
The existing slab is retrofitted with epoxy paint, rigid foam insulation, sleepers (furring strips), and subfloor.
Image
The rim band connecting the insulated precast concrete basement walls to the floor joists above is spray foamed to provide air-sealing and insulation in this hard-to-seal juncture.
Image
This basement is insulated on the exterior with rigid foam over dampproofing, with granular backfill and footing drains to facilitate drainage away from the foundation, a termite shield to protect from pests, and cellular PVC to protect the rigid foam.
Image
This exterior insulated slab-on-grade monolithic grade beam foundation is protected from pests by termite shield at the sill plate, borate-treated framing, flashing at end of wall insulation, brick veneer over slab-edge insulation, and rock ground cover.
Image
This floor assembly above a vented crawlspace controls vapor and heat transmission by using foil-faced isocyanurate rigid foam insulation installed underneath the floor joists and fiberglass insulation in the floor joist cavities
Image
Unvented air-sealed crawlspace is insulated along the perimeter walls with rigid foam
Image
Wrong - Air leakage from the conditioned space to the basement foundation wall can lead to condensation or moisture issues in a conventional blanket insulation installation.
Image
Wrong - Moisture from within the basement foundation wall can migrate into the insulation cavity in a conventional blanket insulation installation.
Image
Wrong - Plastic-covered blanket insulation that is installed directly against concrete walls with no rigid foam or closed-cell spray foam covering the concrete could trap moisture coming through the concrete, leading to mold, moisture, and odor problems.
Image
Wrong - The basement blanket insulation is loosely attached to the interior of the basement wall, does not cover the entire wall, is not sealed at the edges, and is not installed over rigid foam that covers the entire surface of the foundation walls.
Image
Wrong - The fiberglass blanket insulation has no perforated vapor retarder, does not cover the entire basement wall, is not sealed at the edges, and is not installed over rigid foam.
Image
Wrong - This plastic-covered blanket insulation is not perforated, does not cover the entire basement wall, is not sealed at the edges, and is not installed over rigid foam.
