Hi I'm new to the group, and would like to ask the experts some questions on installing expanded polystyrene insulation. I'm finishing my basement and the walls are concrete. I want to "glue" the EPS directly to the concrete walls then frame out walls using 2x4,and finish the walls with 1/2 sheetrock. The basement will be heated in the winter. The EPS is foil faced on one side and plastic wraped on the other. My very basic questions are: 1) What side of EPS should face inward? I assume the foil to reflect heat, but I don't want to assume. 2) What is the best adhesive to use ? 3) Should the EPS go all the way up the wall to cover the house sill or just the concrete wall?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
