There are various types of insulation used in crawlspaces, each with its own characteristics. Common types include:
Choosing the right type depends on factors like climate, budget, and specific requirements of the crawlspace. Professional assessment can help determine the most suitable insulation for a given space.
Fiberglass Insulation
Traditional and cost-effective, fiberglass insulation comes in batts or rolls. It is effective in resisting moisture but should be installed with care to avoid gaps.
Foam Board insulation
Rigid foam boards provide good insulation and moisture resistance. They are often used on crawl space walls and are effective in preventing heat transfer.
spray foam insulation
Applied as a liquid, spray foam expands and hardens, creating an effective barrier against air and moisture. It’s suitable for sealing gaps and irregular spaces.
