WHAT IS THE CORRECT INSULATION TO USE BETWEEN STUDS AGAINST A CONCRETE BLOCK WALL IN A BASEMENT? THE SPACE IS CURRENTLY FRAMED AND WAITING FOR INSULATION AND DRYWALL. WE ARE IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA.

Welcome to the boards, please don't use the CAPS LOCK key when posting, it makes your post harder to read.

Here is a link I provided on another post on the same subject that will help answer your questions.

General Disclaimer

Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.

My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
