Northern Climates like Chicago have insulation on basement/crawlspace walls with cellulose above grade and fiberglass below grade. Things to factor in when insulating basement walls are:
✓ Costs for finished/unfinished basement
✓ Don’t insulate wet walls
✓ Air/vapor/moisture barriers
✓ New construction
✓ Header/box sill/rim joist
✓ Air infiltration sealing

Where To Insulate & When To Use Vapor Barrier
Heat will always travel warmer to cooler areas until there is no longer a temperature difference. Insulation retains heat by resistance to flow. Tiny air pockets within the insulating material slow down the transfer of heat and cold.
Basement insulation can be fiberglass below grade, mineral wool for ceiling of furnace room , cellulose above grade/interior walls and ceiling, closed cell spray foam for the rim joist and more.
Basement insulation can be done with closed-cell spray foam directly applied to foundation walls creating a moisture (water), pressure (air), and thermal barrier for the walls and box sill.

Existing Drywall On Basement Walls Cellulose Dense Pack
Basement insulation (below grade) is commonly completed using fiberglass or cellulose, provided a vapor barrier is installed beforehand.
Important to consider water management around the property before finishing a basement to ensure basement waterproofing is satisfactory before closing off access. Don’t insulate a wet basement.

Closed Cell Spray Foam Basement Walls
Closed cell spray foam provides an effective solution for insulating basement walls by creating a seamless barrier against air, moisture, and thermal transfer.
Applied directly to the foundation, it ensures a tight seal that prevents energy loss, manages moisture and reduces air infiltration.
Closed cell spray foam insulation is ideal for problem areas like rim joists and headers, offering exceptional durability and efficiency for both finished and unfinished basements.
