Basement Insulation q's
I'm slowly finishing my basement (it's my project to do in the winter months).
The basement is studded, so now is the time to do the insulation, HVAC, and electric work. When insulating basement walls, are you supposed to use the batten type with the liner, or without? If with the liner, is it installed with the liner to the outside walls, or to the inside? Also, should the insulation run floor to ceiling, or just down halfway to cover the frost line? Also, the area that I'm planning on for my TV area is going to have the ceiling drywalled (there isn't any utilities above, so it's perfect). But I'm worried about sound insulation. (The wife probably will not care for surround sound cranked up to levels that most males prefer  ). Can I insulate the ceiling with the batten stuff as well? If so, which way should the liner be? Or should I be looking at something different?Thanks in advance. Jamie
