Silvercote Basement Wall Insulation is a fiberglass blanket laminated to a reinforced facing. It lets you insulate basement walls without the cost of full framing or finishing the interior walls. It can be used in new construction or to retrofit existing homes.
The facing can be left exposed or covered, including in areas like crawlspaces. This version has a perforated facing, which suits situations where moisture is expected to migrate toward the home's interior. A non-perforated facing suits situations where warm, potentially moist interior air will mainly move outward toward cold surfaces.
The blanket can be installed horizontally or vertically, so you can insulate a full wall or only a half-wall. The facing is attached with a hot melt adhesive lamination. This gives a smoother finish and lets the blanket be installed with appropriate droop while keeping a clean interior appearance. The product meets the iECC code for continuous R-value and has a Class A fire rating.
