Crawl Space Insulation
Keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer
Install Bubble Foil Insulation to redirect heat back into your home during cold weather, or away from your home in hot weather.
EcoFoil Bubble Insulation is the recommended product for your crawl space. We also offer pre-cut joist insulation that is designed to staple between floor joists in your crawl space ceiling for vented crawl space applications. In a vented crawl space application, traditional fiberglass insulation will accumulate moisture and start to sag while also forming unwanted mold and mildew. Use EcoFoil Double Bubble or EcoFoil Between Joist Insulation under your floor joists to avoid these moisture problems and keep your floors warm. For non-vented crawl spaces, we recommend encapsulating the entire crawl space using EcoFoil Bubble Insulation, along with an XPS, EPS or Polyurethane foam insulation used on the walls. In this application, creating a sealed and conditioned crawl space is the key to preventing condensation and keeping your floors warm.

More About Crawl Space Insulation
Crawl space insulation in your home is more important than you may think. 15% or more of a home's total heat loss can be attributed to an improperly insulated or un-insulated crawl space. Reflective insulation is an excellent product to use for insulating a crawl space. It is strong, light weight and very clean to install, unlike fiberglass insulation. EcoFoil Bubble Insulation provides a moisture vapor barrier (when seams are taped), controls temperature and prevents cool, damp air from invading the floor above. Rolls of reflective insulation are made to fit between empty floor joists or stapled right across the bottom for unfinished applications.
When installed in a crawl space, or between floor joists, EcoFoil reflective insulation keeps your home's floors warmer in your living area above while regulating temperatures below as well.
