#2 javekas on 28 Apr 25Hey! For basement finishing in Calgary, it's crucial to focus on good insulation because of the cold weather. You definitely want to use strong thermal insulation and include a vapor barrier to prevent moisture. A lot of people here use spray foam for the walls. You might want to check out Boreon Builders - they have great references for basement projects!
