Crawl Space Insulation Tips
In crawl spaces the floor beams are quite deep, likely 2″ x 10″ and will take a high R value insulation. This thick insulation above your crawl space will function to keep your floors warm and keep out winter dampness. The higher the R value the better. R value is an industrial measurement of the insulation’s effectiveness.
The basic types of wall insulation are loose fill, batt and blanket, rigid board and spray foam. Batt and blanket uses mineral fibers and is the cheapest form of installation, but it can be difficult to install. Loose fill and spray foam both fill in little empty spaces and cracks using fibers or foam respectively, and they cost more than batt and blanket. Rigid board usually uses fiberglass, and it is very thick and insulating, but it’s the most expensive type of wall insulation. Each has its pros and cons that should be weighed before going forth with the insulation installation procedure. Learn more here: Crawl Space Insulation Facts.
