Basement walls are pretty easy to insulate. They are usually exposed walls that we can apply spray foam to directly. This was a simple upgrade to the home that will last the entirety of the home's life and it will make the homeowners much happier.

Simple block walls can be much more difficult to insulate. There are many gaps and cracks that can be hard to get to. That is why we recommend spray foam insulation in this instance because it will fill all those hard to reach gaps and cracks and will also fill in all the porous areas of the block wall. All in all it makes the entire basement much more comfortable and that's what matters. As a bonus it also aides in mold protection.
Insulating interior walls is not usually how we insulate pre-existing homes. Usually there is drywall and paint up and furniture that would have to be moved. It's just a lot of extra work and cost to the homeowner so we will always suggest insulating from the outside when using TruSoft Cellulose. But when were using spray foam insulation, insulating from the outside is not an option. Sometimes the homeowners will already have the walls open for us due to other renovation projects or they will go through the long process of reopening the walls for us. Any way you put it, the end result comes out perfectly. The homeowners have a home with a higher resale value and they also get to thoroughly enjoy the rest of their time spent in their home. In the summer they will be able to stay cool and in the winter they will be able to trap the heat in the home much better.
Doing this half wall for the kitchen will greatly improve the drafts, the cold air, and make the kitchen a much more comfortable place to be.
