Basement Finishing - Insulating Basement Walls in Kirkwood, MO

Before framing the basement, our friends at Dr. Energy Saver St. Louis air sealed the rim joists with spray foam insulation to prevent warm, humid outside air from invading the dry, finished basement (or cold outside air causing drafts and making upper level floors cold).  Instead of using wood to frame the basement, Woods Basement Systems used metal framing that won't be damaged by mold.  To insulate the basement walls, SilverGlo insulation panels were installed to create a insulation-radiant barrier combination that keeps the basement warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
