    Attention contractors! Insulation question.

    I am looking to finish my basement. Right now I have poured concreet walls. Does anyone know much about this insulation? http://www.insulation4less.com/highr_FfmF.asp
    It seems strange to me that they can achieve R14 in 1/4 of an inch. Is this stuff for real?

    Thanks in advance for any and all answers.

    Mike

    Huh...dunno about that. Could be. I'm going to watch this thread with great personal interest since I need to better insulate 2 rooms in my basement.

    I've always taken the "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is" approach to things like this, but once in awhile you find a gem of a product.

    I may have found the fly in the ointment here http://www.builtgreen.org/articles/0208_mold.htm and here http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings...pdfs/26455.pdf

    Looks like there may be a moisture issue.

    Oh well, I guess I couldn't expect you guys & dolls to know everything.
