Wisconsin winters can be harsh, making it essential to maximize the comfort of your home. If you’re looking to transform your basement into a functional living space, insulation is a smart choice. Not only will this enhance your home’s value, but it will also provide a cozy retreat in the winter and a refreshing escape during the summer months.
There are two places to insulate: outside the basement walls and inside the basement walls. The expert technicians at ABT are well-versed in protecting basements across northern and northeastern Wisconsin − both in the winter and during the summer. Let our professionals give you an assessment on how to insulate your basement and gain more livable square footage in your home.
Exterior rigid foam insulation over the outer basement wall is usually applied during construction, but it can also be added during renovation projects. This type of insulation provides a durable layer of protection against heat loss, helping to maintain a consistent temperature inside your home. Additionally, rigid foam insulation creates a moisture barrier that reduces the risk of water infiltration and damage.
If you’re planning an exterior drainage project involving your foundation, this is the perfect opportunity to enhance your home’s energy efficiency by installing rigid foam insulation. The added layer not only improves thermal performance but also helps shield your foundation from the freeze-thaw cycle that can cause cracking and structural issues over time.
By insulating the exterior of your basement walls, you can effectively reduce energy costs and maintain a more comfortable living environment throughout the year.
For homeowners who want to insulate existing basements or prefer an interior insulation solution, ABT offers closed-cell spray foam insulation. This type of basement insulation is ideal for sealing and protecting basements from temperature fluctuations and moisture intrusion.
Our expert technicians can apply spray foam insulation around the rim joist (also known as the band or perimeter joist) that rests on top of your foundation walls. This area is a common source of heat loss and air leakage, making it critical for energy efficiency. Spray foam creates a seamless air barrier, preventing drafts and reducing the potential for condensation that can lead to mold growth.
Closed-cell spray foam not only insulates but also strengthens the structural integrity of the basement walls. It offers excellent resistance to moisture, helping to keep your basement dry and comfortable. This solution is perfect for homeowners who want to optimize their basement space for living, storage, or other functional uses.
By choosing interior insulation, you gain enhanced comfort, improved energy efficiency, and long-term protection against the elements.
Don’t let your basement remain an underutilized space. Whether you want a cozy retreat for the winter or a cool escape in the summer, proper insulation is key. Our expert technicians at ABT are here to help you enhance your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
