Closed cell foam vs. Cellulose for basement insulation?

6 years ago

Would you please help settle something? For basement insulation, two different contractors in our area recommend different insulation types for basements.
1. Closed cell because it seals out moisture. However the fumes can be toxic while curing. Also toxic if house burns.
2. Cellulose does not have the toxic qualities, but is porous and could allow moisture through.
What do you think?
