Benefits of Insulating Your Florida Crawl Space
If your home has a crawl space, it needs to be insulated, properly weatherized and sealed. Otherwise, you’ll have issues like moisture control problems and soil vapor intrusion (which can decrease indoor air quality).
Crawl spaces are a big source of energy loss in homes; a lot of air can leak in through your crawl space. Crawl space insulation and sealing are optimal because insulation isn’t as effective if there are air leaks. A crawl space that is insulated but not sealed won’t do much to maximize your home’s energy efficiency.
Insulating crawl spaces can help homeowners:
- Reduce utility bills and maximize energy efficiency
- Make their home a more comfortable space
- Improve the efficiency of heating and air conditioning
- Contribute to a healthier environment
Crawl Space Insulation Materials We Install
Typically, IBP of West Palm installs the following insulation materials in crawl spaces:
Ventilated vs. Unventilated Crawl Spaces
Is your crawl space ventilated or unventilated? You should find out before insulating. If you aren’t sure, our insulation contractors will be able to tell you.
Ventilated crawl spaces should be insulated under the subflooring material and between the floor joists. When it comes to insulating crawl spaces that are unventilated, wall insulation is important. For these types of crawl spaces, you don’t need to worry about sealing.
For such a small area, a crawl space can have a huge impact on your home’s energy efficiency if not properly insulated. No matter what type of crawl space you have and what material you use, you’ll notice the difference crawl space insulation can make.
