Reflective Bubble Insulation is excellent for insulating concrete basement walls. When installed properly radiant barrier bubble insulation blocks radiant heat transfer and with an R-Value of 10.5 (double bubble foil insulation), you get the added benefit of slowing conductive heat transfer as well. Reflective Radiant Barrier is a vapor barrier and is not affected by water or moisture. Temperatures in un-insulated basements can easily be 5-15 degrees cooler than the living space above.
