 Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 6:55 pm Post subject: Need help choosing insulation material |
    |
|
I have an older home partially constructed with cement block (hollow core blocks). The outside walls have no insulation either on the inside or on the outside under the stucco.
I just recently bought the home and the seller had a new stucco coat put on the outside without adding solid foam insulation first. A cheap and quick job for a quick sell.
So I would like to insulate the inside of the exterior cement block walls by using rigid foam insulation sheets and then cover that with sheetrock/wallboard.
I remember many years ago that it was unsafe to use rigid foam inside a house because a fire would create a toxic gas when the flame reached the foam.
So the question is this: Is there any safe rigid foam insulation for interior use? Brand name? Chemical name?
I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
Thanks for the help. |
