Basements and Crawlspaces
Build from the Ground Up with Protection That Lasts
Basements and crawlspaces are among the most challenging areas of a home—often damp, cold, and prone to air infiltration and soil gas exposure. Without proper insulation and moisture control, these spaces can negatively affect the comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency of the entire home.
WALLTITE® closed-cell spray foam insulation from BASF provides the durable, high-performance solution needed to transform basements and crawlspaces into dry, comfortable, and healthy environments.
Why Insulate Basements & Crawlspaces
-
Control Moisture and Humidity: Below-grade walls absorb ground moisture and transmit it into living spaces. WALLTITE® acts as a continuous air and vapour barrier, helping prevent condensation and mold growth.
-
Improve Energy Efficiency: By minimizing heat loss through basement walls and floors, WALLTITE® helps maintain consistent temperatures, reducing strain on heating and cooling systems.
-
Reduce Soil Gas Infiltration: WALLTITE® can help limit the entry of soil gases such as radon, improving indoor air quality and supporting a healthier home.
-
Increase Comfort and Durability: A sealed, insulated foundation helps stabilize interior temperatures and protects structural materials from long-term moisture damage.
WALLTITE® for Basements and Crawlspaces
WALLTITE® is a closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation that provides superior thermal resistance and exceptional moisture control. Its dense structure and adhesive properties create a seamless layer that adheres directly to foundation surfaces—delivering an effective air, vapour, and thermal barrier in one application.
Recommended Applications:
- Basement Walls: Applied directly to interior foundation walls, WALLTITE® creates a continuous insulation layer that prevents moisture intrusion and temperature fluctuations.
- Under-Slab Insulation: When installed beneath concrete slabs, WALLTITE® acts as a protective barrier against heat loss and radon infiltration.
- Crawlspace Encapsulation: WALLTITE® seals floors and walls in vented or conditioned crawlspaces, helping eliminate cold drafts, musty odours, and excessive humidity.
Key Benefits:
- Air, Vapour, and Thermal Barrier in One: Seals cracks, gaps, and joints for a fully enclosed envelope.
- Superior R-Value per Inch: Provides high thermal performance while saving valuable space.
- Moisture Resistance: Protects against condensation, dampness, and mold.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Reduces radon and soil gas entry for a safer, healthier home.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Rigid, closed-cell foam maintains its shape and performance over time.
