Different Ways To Insulate Your Crawl Space

There are different ways to insulate your crawl space - Understanding the different types will help you choose the best insulation for your crawl space.

Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation is the oldest type of crawl space insulation, and is installed between the floor joists and the crawl space ‘ceiling’.
- Advantages: Fiberglass is readily available, inexpensive, and easy to install
- Disadvantages: Can support fungal growth, is ruined by exposure to moisture and humidity, and rodents bed in it

Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation
Closed cell spray foam is made up of cells that are completely closed. The cells are pressed together so air and moisture are unable to get through the foam.
- Advantages: Fast and effective install, not damaged by water or moisture, and expands to fill in gaps providing larger coverage area
- Disadvantages: Restrictively high cost product, permanent install (can't be easily removed), and must be installed by an experienced professional (overspray creates a messy clean up)

Foam Board Insulation
Foam board is wrapped in reflective foil to create a barrier against water, fungal, and air. The higher the R-value required, the thicker the foam board.
- Advantages: Creates thermal efficiency, no messy install, and is waterproof (resistant to water damage)
- Disadvantages: Can be difficult to install around obstacles in your crawl space and doesn't expand to fill voids
