Insulating a Basement with Foamax Board in Orange, MA

This homeowner in Orange, MA called us in order to bulk up her basement's insulation. When we arrived in the home, we noticed that her basement's poured concrete walls were not insulated. This is fairly common -- but it can affect the temperature of the basement, making it colder than you would like it to be and, unfortunately, harder to heat. This meant that their energy bills were higher than they should be. 

The best way to protect and insulated poured concrete walls is to use insulation board. We installed our Foamax polyisocyanurate (Polyiso) foam insulation boards on all of the walls of this basement. They install right over the concrete! As a bonus, they are also flame retardant, so it can be exposed in the basement unlike other types of foam. This insulation board makes a noticeable difference in a space -- the basement feels warmer and more comfortable, and the home is easier to heat!
