How to Increase Comfort and Energy Efficiency in your Home During the Winter
With temperatures beginning to fall and the holiday season rapidly approaching, it is time to begin thinking about the comfort of your home, which starts with your crawl space. In the summer, your home may be vulnerable to high humidity, while in the winter, you may experience cold floors. Having your crawl space properly insulated and encapsulated can solve both of those frustrating issues. Insulating your crawl space is a crucial component to not only home comfort, but energy efficiency as well. Basement Systems of Indiana’s superior solution for sealing and insulating your crawl space is using SilverGlo™ Thermal Wall Insulation. Our versatile crawl space insulation product can seal your walls, save you money on energy bills, and keep the crawl space dry and free of musty odors.
SilverGlo is a foam insulation product infused with graphite that ultimately increases its insular ability by 24%. Crawl spaces tend to become unhealthy environments when moisture and humidity can easily seep through the crawl space floor and walls. With SilverGlo Thermal Insulation, this will not be an issue, as it creates a vapor barrier on the crawl space walls preventing moisture from getting access into the crawl space altogether. Eliminating the potential for moisture excess takes mold, wood rot, and mildew out of the equation. Combine SilverGlo with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier product and your crawl space with be transformed into the most comfortable part of your home. Adding SilverGlo provides solutions to basically all common crawl space issues that our production crew encounters every day on job sites.
You should now be familiar with effective solutions to keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient, but it is also important to know where it can all go wrong in your crawl space. Far too often, our sales inspectors come across vented crawl spaces with fiberglass insulation on the ceilings. A vented crawl space is a magnet for bringing in humid air during the summertime. As the air cools once it enters the crawl space, humidity of the air rises significantly creating moisture. Fiberglass insulation attracts moisture, which leads to mold growth and a nasty crawl space. Having SilverGlo Wall Insulation installed prevents this issue from happening and should be the preferred choice when considering comfort and energy-efficiency in your home.
