Hi All.
Illinois basement:
Want to complete the rim joist insulation properly and then drywall the ceiling and walls.
Builder sprayed 1 plus inches around the perimeter and 3/8" to 3/4" in the center of each rim joist. It seems the intent was to seal the joints and then some residual over spray in the center.
I'm having an additional 2" sprayed on the entire rim joist areas in a couple of weeks, which should bring the R-value up to R15-R19 depending on the skill of the installer.
I'm trying to avoid any additional fiberglass or rock wool added to the inner side of the foam.
I'm thinking about installing random depth gauges (screws) to aid in getting the proper depth.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Thank You,
Jeff
