home basement exterior concrete wall insulation

Hi Tom,
When insulating the outside concrete wall at my home, should I use the Dowsuper tuff-r sheathering or the styrofoam light blue insulation? Also, doyou have a suggestion on which glue I should use?
Thanks, Harley


Hi,
Use Styrofoam, it will stand up better. It does need to be protected with acoating, but this does not need to be done immediately and only the abovegrade area needs to be covered.You can use construction adhesive to adhere it. Make sure it is compatiblewith Styrofoam.It usually will say so on the label.
