Insulating crawl space walls will always take precedence over insulating the floor, but floor insulation can be a valuable improvement in the following situations:
Dirt-floored crawl spaces. It’s critical to install a moisture barrier over a dirt-floored crawl space. For a little extra money, you can put down TerraBlock™ flexible foam insulation that comes with its own moisture barrier. Combining TerraBlock™ with dimpled plastic drainage matting will transform a dirty, damp crawl space into a bright, clean, dry space.
Rough, uneven crawl space floors. TerraBlock™ crawl space floor insulation is flexible enough to cover uneven floor areas. It’s also puncture resistant. Installing TerraBlock™ over a crawl space floor creates a cushioned surface that homeowners and service pros appreciate when moving around in the crawl space.
Excessive winter heat loss. In cold climates, heat loss through a crawl space floor can contribute to cold floors, chilly temperatures and high heating bills. By insulating the crawl space floor as well as the walls, you’ll solve these comfort and energy problems. A professional can help you choose the right crawl space insulation for your home.
