Our basement gets a ton of use. I make videos at my home office, and my son has set up a recording studio, so sound needs to be managed. Sounds from upstairs are coming in the basement, and the saxophone, drums, and keyboard can be heard throughout the house as well. I plan to use a combination of ROCKWOOL and Homasote plus a few sealants to create an environment where sound is better managed.
We interviewed @homasotecompany5059 at the international builders show this year, and they shared some wall and ceiling details with us.
Most builders know how to insulate walls and roofs; however, little attention is given below the slab and foundation walls. ROCKWOOL insulation is designed for sub-slab and exterior foundation wall applications since water does not affect its composition.
In order to create a NET ZERO ENERGY home, we must continue to refine insulation and air sealing techniques. Dan Edelman of ROCKWOOL Insulation hosted Chris Laumer-Giddens of LG Squared, Inc in a webinar where he covers advanced building science topics such as the “Perfect Wall” and Hygrothermics with examples and details for all of the concepts discussed.
Green Builder, Matt Hoots chats with Dan Edelman with ROCKWOOL insulation about why that myth needs to be BUSTED.
