I have been reading many threads on what to do about a cold basement, and I need to know what to do next. We moved into a house where the basement was already developed and it is cold. It is all developed except the storage and furnace room which are closed off by a door.
The outer walls are insulated, but the wall that separates the storage/furnace room is not insulated. It has a tbar ceiling, not insulated. The storage room has a bare basement floor.
What should I do first
- Insulate the inner wall that separates the storage/furnace room.
- Insulate the tbar ceiling
- Or is there something I can do to the bare basement floor in the storage/furnace room.
There are about 5 heat registers and when the heat comes on, it does get very toasty down here, it just does not stay.
Thanks in advance Just me
