Hi. I waterproofed the basement exterior last year and I'm finishing the basement interior this year. It's concrete block walls on concrete slab. My plan is to glue 2" styrofoam insulation sheets to the interior wall in a contiguous manner (to act as insulation and vapor barrier), install metal studs in front of this insulation, and then install concrete board or paperless sheetrock in front of that. My goal is to make it as unattractive as possible for mold growth. I've read that this is an accepted practice.
I also want to install ceramic tile on the floor.
If I put the walls up first, I'll never be able to run the tile to the concrete block wall and thus create a depression around the perimeter where, if I got water, would cause problems as it's not seen. If I install the ceramic tile floor first, I run the risk of damaging the tile during wall installation.
What is the typical approach in this case?? All advice appreciated. Regards, Theodore
