What are people’s thoughts on putting mineral wool insulation in the stud bays before putting drywall up? The existing setup was a wood veneer nailed directly to the studs . There is approximately 4.5” space from face of stud to concrete. I’m thinking of stapling insulation to front of stud to allow for 1.5” of air space between insulation and concrete to promote some drying of any moisture that condenses. I understand the right way is to remove the studs and place closed cell foam, however, I’m trying to be practical here. Interested in what people think, responses in internet range from this is the worst thing you could do to it’s going to be ok :D
Helpful to add this is a 1980 build, so no foam insulation nor vapor barrier on outside of stem wall.
