Basement Insulation and Framing Update Quincy IL

I've started insulating the basement walls in the new storage room. I'm attaching 1" extruded polystyrene foam insulation board by DOW. I used a special Styrofoam adhesive to adhere the foam board to the concrete.

I've started insulating the basement walls in the new storage room. I'm attaching 1" extruded polystyrene foam insulation board by DOW. I used a special Styrofoam adhesive to adhere the foam board to the concrete. The foam board I am using comes with a tongue and grove so installation is pretty easy. Just cut the boards to length, apply some adhesive and press it against the wall.After I installed all of the polystyrene foam insulation I sealed all of the joints with Tyvek tape. Tyvek tape is a really strong tape that will stay adhered to the foam board and it keeps out moisture. Concrete holds a tremendous amount of moisture so creating a moisture barrier is essential.Once all the insulation was in place I started framing up 2x4 walls. I'm going to place the walls directly in front of the foam insulation and then insulate the wall cavities with fiberglass insulation. You'll need to nail the pressure treated plate of the wall to the concrete with a Trigger Tool Kit, 22 Caliber. By doing the combination I can achieve approximately a R values of 16.After I finish framing and insulating the walls I will install luan paneling over the framing. I plan on install 2' deep shelves all around the room for our storage.Check out my previous post, Finished Basement Step 1 - Insulation where I explain the methods of insulating in detail.
