Hi
The infamous "diaper"that's in my basement, well I can't find who manufactured it.
It goes to 6 inches above the floor, as explained.
I am planning to have half my basement unfinished storage, and leave the existing insulation up. The finished area's walls will be about 1/2-1" from the poured concrete (or existing diaper insulation depending on the answers below).
If the air space behind the finished space is contiguous to the unfinsihed basement:
1) Is it still better to rip down the diaper?
2) Does the fact that the wall ends remain "open" help any moisture/airflow problems or will it not matter?
Any opinions are appreciated, Thanks!
