Foundation Walls
Return to House Overview >> Finishing the basement is a great way to add extra space to your home. But the foundation walls can affect the comfort of your room. Because concrete walls have low insulating value, cold from the ground transfers directly into the basement. Since Owens Corning's FOAMULAR® rigid foam insulation is installed directly against your foundation wall, homeowners will enjoy insulated comfort in their below-grade living space. And its excellent moisture resistance means it won't lose any insulating power (R-value) even after long-term exposure to water and wet soil.
FOAMULAR® rigid foam insulation installs directly against your foundation wall from the footing to the top of the wall. It offers excellent moisture resistance so it won't lose any insulating power (R-value) even after long-term exposure to wet soil and ponding water. Its rugged construction readily withstands the pressure of backfilling and resists the effects of acids and other decaying elements in the soil.
