I've finally made up my mind to cover the exposed XPS foam boards in the basement.
I have 2" boards held to basement wall with glue and vertical furring strips.
Then, I have an additional 2", with grooves milled out so that it fits flush over the strips, that are glued on to the sheets below (used wood strips into furring strips to brace while glue dried).
Anyway, now I want to put drywall over the assembly, and am thinking about using glue in addition to screwing onto the furring strips.
The wall will be very solid, ie, no cavities, one way or the other.
The furring is only vertical, so I guess I could put some across the top and bottom, but again, the wall is solid.
I don't know if I'll gain anything by gluing, since I do have to screw it on anyway (so it stays up longer in the event of a fire).
What do you think?
