Once you have everything for your project gathered together, and if you haven’t already done so, you must consider the space you are going to insulate. The subfloor, or “ceiling” of your crawl space is a very important place to be insulated due to the fact that cold air is constantly entering in and attempting to rise up into the home.

If you chose fiberglass insulation, you would then unroll the amount while placing it up into the subfloor. If you chose a cellulose insulation, you will need to rent a blower machine to use for installing the very loose product. okay

Be sure to consider factors like the different R-values of each type, what the weather is like in your area, and how much you’ll need.  All necessary materials for the job can be found at your convenience from local hardware or home improvement stores.
