Need some help making heads and tales in insulating my basement walls
Right now, we have just old dark brown paneling on the walls in the basement. Underneath is just some super thin metal sheeting. Is that a vapor barrier or that is that just radiant insulation? My wife wants to get rid of the paneling for drywall. Can/should I use proper roll insulation before I hang the sheets? Do I need vapor barrier in between the wall and the insulation? What options do I have? I have tried to google search some info but it seems so inconsistent and I wanna plan this all out so I can properly prep. Thanks in advance all submitted by /u/rocketsurgeon1024 [link] [comments]
