If you are building a new home just go ahead and use ICF construction for the ext walls and be done with it. 200mph wind proof walls with built in insulation. If you are going to be there for a while you might as well do it right. Jt

Yea, new construction, this is what I'd do. This stuff is bad to the bone.

Well heck.....A man that wants to do things the right way would just tear it down and start over:) In all honesty.......either way you decide to go it will be far superior to batt ins. I would do the foam, but that is probably because we just use a lot of it on the commercial side of things and in my simple mind its a better product, but I honestly haven't done much comparison between the two.

What is the average cost difference per sq ft for foam vs batt/fiberglass?
