For most of the basement we have 4 foot poured walls daylight basement the rest is 9 foot poured wall.
Insulate poured basement walls.
Picture of my basement attached.
Make sure your adhesive is free of solvents which can eat away at the foam insulation.
Basement walls made out of concrete stone concrete bloc and other masonry foundation materials have very minimal insulating properties and cause approximately 20 of heat loss in a home.
Adhere and apply the remaining panels.
I started framing the walls and have them all up.
Above the 4 foot walls is sheeted and has stone on the outside these are 2 6 construction and filled with spray foam then the stud wall is infront of that and 3 4 from the concrete below.
Many builders put up a 2 4 wall on the interior side of the foam insulation.
If you frame a 2 4 wall don t forget to install fire blocking at the top of the wall if your basement has stone and mortar walls you can t insulate them with rigid foam.
Step by step basement insulation installation.
After the cement is set apply a foam board adhesive to the rear of a polystyrene insulation panel then press the panel to the wall.

That is why insulating your basements walls is necessary especially when you live in areas that have very cold climate.
