How to Insulate a Basement Bulkhead
Things You'll Need
Instructions
1Measure the bulkhead. This includes getting measurements for the width and height of the walls and bulkhead door. Use these dimensions to determine how much insulation needs to be purchased.
2
Buy sheets of Styrofoam insulation. Cut pieces of foam insulation to lace on the walls and door of the bulkhead. Measure the size needed for each wall and mark the insulation where it needs to be cut. Use a hacksaw to cut the insulation to the correct size.
3
Affix each piece of insulation on the walls using construction adhesive. Use a utility knife to cut the tip off the tube and insert it into a caulk gun. Press the trigger to force the push plate to begin spreading the adhesive on the Styrofoam.
4
Place the insulation on the bulkhead door from the outside. Working in the bulkhead can be confining and the doors are going to be over your head.
