Basement Insulation Can Save You Money

Basement Insulation Wall Panels Help Insulate your Below Grade Space!Basement Wall Panels for Insulation in below grade space

Most homeowners understand the importance of insulation in their home but they often forget about one of the largest areas of winter heat loss - their basement beneath the home. This is partially to blame from the mistaken belief that "heat rises". While it is true that heated air rises, heat actually moves from a warmer area to a colder one. In cold weather, the temperature in a basement or crawlspace can sometimes be as much as thirty degrees colder than in the main living area. This results in a substantial amount of heat being lost down through the floors. Insulating your basement can reduce this heat loss, saving you money on your energy bills.

How you choose to insulate your basement depends on two things, if your basement is “conditioned” or “unconditioned”. Conditioned means that it is heated and cooled which is usually the case in a finished basement. If you have a conditioned basement, you need to first find out whether it has already been insulated. A home energy audit can help you figure this part out. Once you’ve established if the area has insulation, you can add more if needed or replace it. Most conditioned basements can usually use more insulation in the walls and floor. Unconditioned means that the basement is left in its original state.

Wall Panel Options for Unconditioned Basements

With an unconditioned basement you have several choices. You can insulate the walls, ceiling, floors or all three. The ZenWall™ Insulated Basement Wall Panel System is an attractive & energy efficient option for those who want a finished look without the inconvenience or extra expense connected with drywall and other basement finishing systems. Along with greatly improving the appearance of your unfinished basement, ZenWall will also benefit your home by adding insulation and creating a heat-reflective vapor barrier on the walls. Not only will it save you energy in the long run but it was also make the floor above feel warmer. ZenWall is compatible with your basement drainage system and other waterproofing products. They can tuck easily into the drain below to direct water from the walls to your sump pump. The panels can easily be cut for pipes, windows and other obstacles.

Another great option is the Basement To Beautiful™ Basement Wall Panels. These are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Designed with the unique SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation, this insulation provides 24% more energy-saving than conventional foam products. At 2 ½" thick and R-13 insulation, Basement To Beautiful™ panels create a warm, protective blanket around your basement. These unique wall panels form an unbroken sheet of insulation on your basement walls and provide a waterproof vapor barrier. Created with inorganic materials, the panels will never support the growth of mold, mildew or rot. The Basement To Beautiful™ wall panels are also compatible with our drain systems and have built-in electrical outlets and chases to allow for electrical installation. The system is designed to attach directly to your basement walls; metal studs are integrated with the foam and do not touch the concrete basement walls so you don’t lose any heat.
