How to Insulate a Crawl Space

Crawlspaces are often overlooked but in order for your home to be appropriately insulated, they should be insulated. The thermal blanket that covers your entire house helps to hold cold air inside in the summer and prevent warm air from escaping in the winter, and crawl space insulation is an essential part of that. It’s recommended that you use precut batts, they’re easier to use in tighter spaces. It’s also important to wear safety gear and cover the ground with a plastic linter in order to keep moisture out of the crawlspace. When considering crawl space insulation, keep in mind that there are two different types of crawlspace: vented and unvented. We’ll guide you through the differences and what they mean for your insulation process. Mainly, it’s important to make sure the ducts and pipes are appropriately insulated in and areas where air could escape are sealed off. Even in potentially tight spaces, we’ll show you just how easy and effective insulating your crawl space can be, and how essential. When it’s all said and done, you’ll see that insulating crawlspaces is a simple way to improve your home’s overall insulation.
