Question
What is the best green insulation to use in our crawl space?
We have a drafty crawlspace (comes up through the floor boards) in our 50 year old home. What can we use to keep out the drafts and the bugs and allow for access to vents and pipes if needed?
Answer
Use 10 mm polyethylene sheeting on the floor and then closed cell spray foam directly on the walls.
- This makes the crawl space part of the insulated envelope.
