optimal energy efficiency

Why insulate the exterior side of the foundation wall?

All building foundations come in contact with the ground. Wherever a building is located, water, temperature, air, and soil on the foundation can impact the performance and integrity of the total structure. Continuous polyiso rigid foam insulation effectively reduces foundation energy loss and protects against moisture problems.

ADVANTAGES OF INSULATING
EXTERIOR VS. INTERIOR SIDE OF THE WALL

  • It does not reduce the usable building space

  • Completely continuous for optimal energy efficiency

  • Mass of foundation within the insulated building envelope

  • Warm wall solution minimizes condensation on the interior side of the wall

  • Protects the waterproofing

  • Eliminates freeze/thaw on structural elements

  • Easiest install
