Mold only can grow on paper and wood and organic substances. There are none of these in the Owens Corning system. I also LOVE it....everyone talks about it being expensive, but I think it was worth EVERY PENNY.....the Lifetime warranty also guarantees that I'll never have to pay to finish my basement again!! It looks great, much better than moldy drywall. I actually had a flood this winter, but you'd never know it by being in my basement....VERY happy!!!
Most experts will tell you it is a good idea to "float" the walls you install from the basement walls. I have never seen or hear of anyone advocate anchoring directly to the basement wall.
instead of some blowhard marketing video, why didn't they show real 'before' and 'after' of real basements (instead of the 'studio' make believe basement).
That's an awfully flimsy explanation. Do you have any sources? Paper traps moisture, and it has no vapor barrier... Same with drywall. And as a contractor, I've seen plenty of disgusting, rotted fiberglass. Even as a renter- the place I'm renting now is filled with rotting fiberglass that's dripping from the ceiling of the basement.

How does it simultaneously keep the heat in the basement and also let the basement walls "breathe"?

fiberglass insulation breathes and insulates at the same time.

thats how fiberglass works, its doesnt trap moisture bc there is no vapor barrier
