An insulation system is described for rapidly securing insulation to the interior surface of a basement wall, comprising: a continuous roll of flexible insulation having (i) a first layer of insulation of a predetermined width corresponding practically to a portion of the height or length of the interior surface of a basement wall to be covered in a continuous application of the continuous roll of flexible insulation to the basement wall, and of a predetermined length substantially greater than the width sufficient to permit practically the continuous roll to be affixed to a wall in a continuous application by means of at least one fastening strip; and, (ii) a second layer of an impermeable vapour barrier continuously laminated in intimate contact with one side of the first layer of insulation. The impermeable vapour barrier over-extends the upper and lower edges running the length of the first layer of insulation so as to provide at least one continuous tab of vapour barrier running the length of one edge of the roll of insulation suitable to form an overlapping seal with any abutting surface.
