Crawl Space Insulation in Southern Utah

Each time you open the door to your front closet in your southern Utah home, it is like opening the cold refrigerator due  to the crawl space access on the closet floor having inadequate insulation. A thin board is usually all that separates the cold crawl space to your home and without proper insulation, cooler air can penetrate into your home resulting in the similar effects as leaving a window slightly open. There are a couple options to fix your crawl space access to eliminate air drafts. Special crawl space doors can be ordered and installed that are generally made of metal that while being more aesthetically appealing and have better seals than a piece of plywood, they still lack on insulation. If your crawl space is not accessed regularly, a denser piece of plywood or other board can be installed with a thick layer of insulation attached to the opposite side of the door from you. This door can then be temporarily sealed to eliminate air drafts and other airborne pollutants that can rise from under your home.
