It's going under the slab , in the walls and on the roof. I'm trying to get this whole addition done for under $20k so I've been shopping as wisely as possible. Insulate the footing too. You will be glad you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contractors here will not pour a footing without insulating it with blue board. A 4' wide parameter around the top of the footing is also good but the vertical insulation around the entire perimeter is preferred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have no idea what this footing and block work is or this commentary would be made. There is zero reason to put any insulation on this footing. Zero. That is a waste of material and labor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 This is the correct way to insulate a slab on grade with footings. This is code here in AK. You don't have this option since you already poured your footings so you just need to insulate the vertial part of the footing and under the slab that you have yet poured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture has literally nothing to do with my foundation. Nothing. That is exactly how I would insulate a slab on grade and it's exactly how I did my last addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as effective as vertically insulating the footing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is to prevent the heat from escaping. Vertical insulation around the footing prevents the heat from escaping. Horizontal insulation does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
