Wall Insulation


I am building a home theater in my basement. How important is it that I insulate the walls? I will for sure insulate the ceiling but what about the walls. The basement is very dry warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Probably far more important to cover them than to insulate behind the cover . What are your intentions ?

Good luck.
I'd insulate them in addition to what the coverings previously mentioned. I agree with you also about the ceiling and since the insulators will already be out there to do the ceiling, the walls shouldn't be much more of an expense.

For drywall, I'd use the drywall used in showers to preclude any moisture invasion or damage.
Check your building codes, too. Insulation and a vapor barrior may be required.
