Hi;
I am hearing about laying near-horizontal insulation just underground, running out from the perimeter of a basement or slab, to keep frost from penetrating down along the basement wall.
Any comments from someone who has done it? Or even the correct terminology so I may Google the approach?
I have some landscaping and patio building to do around the perimeter of my house and was thinking the underground insulation might be worth doing.
I live in a cold temperate climate with many freeze-thaw cycles, and frost alongside the basement causes various problems.
cheers, Doug
