I built a house but am no expert. I wish I put foam in the walls. I have a lot of customers and we talk. Never have any of them regretted putting foam throughout the entire house.
One thing with foam you don’t have to worry about mice tunneling through it. I’ve seen many places with tunnels everywhere in the fiberglass and blown in. I’m curious if rock wool is a deterrent?
My concern with foam is if you have a roof leak it could travel between the sheathing. If you don’t have many flashing points then I would feel better about it.
If you keep your basement dry I don’t think you have to worry about mold. Foam sounds good to me but I’m not sure about the off gassing? I guess keeping a window cracked for the first year.
So many options you could spend hours driving yourself crazy.
Is Radon an issue in your area?
