Basements are commonly composed of concrete or stone, and wood. These materials are considered to be poor insulators, which may explain some of the unexplained rise in your utility bills provided that you hadn’t got the chance yet to insulate your basement. Without a proper basement insulation, your HVAC system may have to work harder and longer to compensate for the heat loss in your basement. This issue will end up costing homeowners a lot of money if left unchecked. Adding insulation can keep your basement warmer, lower utility bills, and make your home more energy-efficient. If you are building a new custom home, you would be insulating the basement with a minimum of R20 at the same time you would insulate the first and second floor because it is regulated by the Ontario Building Code. Enjoy a peace of mind knowing that we only supply Canadian sourced insulation material from well known and established quality brands.
How Ecc Construction Group Inc. does basement insulation
The most important step is to determine if your basement is to have continuous or non-continuous insulation by fire code. The next step is to choose to use batt insulation or spray foam, the reasoning could be based on cost or preference but it is up to you. When it comes to insulating an existing basement, the drywall should be completely removed and studs exposed so that we can proceed with installation. For new custom homes, the best way to insulate the interior side of a basement wall is with foam insulation that is adhered to or sprayed directly on the concrete. We highly recommend using 2lb closed cell spray foam from the ground up to the rim joists to create a seamless air and vapour barrier for your basement. This eliminates both air infiltration and moisture issues. No more basement smells, drafts or chills, and it will also increase the value of your new home
