I am currently finishing my basement. I live in Northern WI so the temps this time of the year get "COLD".
I have my basement framed and insulated. I built 2 X 4 walls and have insulated them with R13. I insulated the wall and after a few days I began to insulate them. I was suprised to find "FROST" on the back side of the insulation, which was against the concrete wall. I went ahead and placed 4 mil poly on the interior framed wall.
My question is whether or not the frost is a concern? Was it a result of not having the vapor bear on the wall? I assume the tempture difference between the heated basement and the cool concrete wall caused the frost...... but I am now questioning my thoughts. HELP!
