Insulating 100 year old stone walls in basement

Hi,

We recently bought a house built in 1900.

I would really like to insulate the stone walls in the basement.

What do you guys think would be the best way to insulate these walls?

I am thinking of those foam sheets, or maybe some type of spray foam.

Any tips or ideas appreciated

Thanks

J

This is an excellent product for your application. What I like about it is that it allows access to the wall if something should happen. Considering that the wall is over a hundred years old, it is safe to say that you can expect to do some pointing in the near future. Regardless if it has been done recently.
