Owens Corning pink board's FAQ says:Q: Can FOAMULAR? be left exposed in a basement wall application?
A: No. To comply with building codes, all foam plastics must be covered with a 15 minute thermal barrier. Gypsum board, ?? thick is a common covering.
Q: Can FOAMULAR? be used as interior basement wall insulation?
A: Yes, but to comply with building codes, all foam plastics must be covered with a 15 minute thermal barrier. Gypsum board, ?? thick is a common covering.
So if I want to be up to code, I've got to cover it... I was not planning on that. It does have a "Class A" fire rating, whatever that means.
Oh yes, it's shined on. The front facing wall is a few degrees south of due West; ergo, the wall facing the driveway is a few degrees West of due North. No tree shade. Plus the wife convinced me the house should be painted "Federal Blue" so it's sucking up the BTUs. It's 77* on the main floor, 75* in the basement, but 82* in that storeroom. It'll be 90* or 100* in a few hours after the heat soaks through the wall. Heck, the garage is only 80*, but the AC ducting runs through it and we have some VERY nice insulated garage doors.
Thanks again for the tips. Time to grab some 2" foam, some twoBys and some drywall.
