SilverGlo Insulation-Better Insulation for Lower Energy Costs

In most crawl spaces, builders and homeowners will install batten insulation in the floor joists to keep the floor warmer. In theory, this should work well with no drawbacks. The reality is quite a bit different, but why?

Traditional batten insulation is made from fiberglass. It is very effective in areas of your home that are closed in on all 6 sides, like the walls. When installed in the floor joists, the batten insulation is open to air and moisture coming in your crawl space. Once moisture is absorbed into the fiberglass insulation, it begins to lose the little effectiveness it once had. The humid air in the crawl space can enter the gap between the insulation and the subfloor, the insulation can fall completely out of the floor joists, and your floors are left uninsulated and while your home is subject to mold and moisture related structural concerns.

At CrawlSpace Solutions of Arkansas, we know the best way to keep your home dry and mold free is with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System featuring our SilverGlo Insulation Panels. While the CleanSpace Liner, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier keep your crawl space dry and isolated from the earth, the SilverGlo Insulation Panels are used to prevent outside air from entering your crawl space. SilverGlo Insulation Panels are graphite infused to increase R-value by 24% over standard insulation. The silver backing reflects heat, keeping the temperature in your crawl space regulated to prevent humidity and your floors stay warmer through the winter.  Since the ductwork isn’t traveling through humidity and an extensive temperature change in your crawl space to heat and cool your home, your HVAC unit isn’t working as hard, saving you money. Thanks to our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, there is no moisture and your whole home is cleaner, drier, healthier, and more structurally sound. Call CrawlSpace Solutions of Arkansas today!
