Something incredibly important to your crawl space health is insulation. Insulation is any material that is used to control temperature and air circulation in a space. Crawl spaces are often built with terrible insulation materials, resulting in many thermal control problems within a home. If your crawl space isn’t properly insulated, then the air that’s in your crawl space can infiltrate the upper portions of your Terre Haute home and cause mold growth, increased levels of humidity, and higher energy bills. To prevent these things from happening, we recommend AquaStop ExTremeBloc, one of the best crawl space insulation products in the industry. AquaStop ExTremeBloc is made of polystyrene and is embedded with graphite particles for maximum thermal insulation. It has an R-value of 11, which is higher than many other standard insulation materials, providing your crawl space with impenetrable panels capable of working efficiently under any kind of weather. The polymeric film that faces both sides of the panels ensures its durability, and its integrated termiticide guarantees termites will not damage the material. It also has a class A fire rating, so you won’t have to worry about keeping a flammable material in your crawl space, unlike other insulation products. AquaStop ExTremeBloc is a reflective insulation, so it won’t absorb and retain any moisture that makes its way into your crawl space. Having AquaStop ExTremeBloc in your crawl space can help reduce your energy usage by 15 to 20%, since your HVAC system will no longer work as hard to keep the temperature in your home comfortable. Your home will feel cool and fresh during the summer and warm and cozy during the winter. You also will find that you’ll have less allergy symptoms, since the dusty, moldy air from the crawl space can no longer rise up into your home.
