Crawl space insulation
For optimal comfort and energy efficiency in your crawl space, our top recommendation is a two-pronged approach. Firstly, we advise the installation of SilverGlo® rigid foam along the crawl space walls. This provides exceptional insulation against heat loss and helps maintain consistent temperatures within your home. Secondly, we suggest laying TerraBlock™ flexible foam insulation on the crawl space floor, beneath the moisture barrier. This dual insulation strategy not only enhances comfort but also contributes to significant energy savings.
Incorporating insulation into the crawl space encapsulation process is a wise decision. While encapsulation effectively seals off the crawl space from external air and moisture infiltration, it doesn’t address the significant heat loss that can occur through the walls and floor.
We strongly advise against using fiberglass batts for crawl space insulation. These can absorb moisture, compress, and eventually slump onto the crawl space floor, creating an environment conducive to mold growth.
For optimal results, we recommend installing SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation along the crawl space walls and TerraBlock™ foam insulation over the floor. Both types offer high R-values, stability, and durability. Unlike fiberglass batts, SilverGlo® and TerraBlock™ do not absorb moisture, promote mold growth, or degrade over time. By insisting on these two high-performance products, you ensure that your solution is effective in the long term.
Basement insulation
Frequently, homes utilize basement materials in the form of fiberglass batts installed between basement ceiling joists. However, this method solely insulates the floor above, failing to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your basement.
Insulation for your basement walls
Achieving optimal comfort and energy efficiency for your entire home necessitates superior basement insulation, and nothing matches the performance and value offered by our Basement to Beautiful® wall panels.
These cutting-edge panels integrate high-performance SilverGlo® rigid foam insulation and steel nailing flanges, simplifying the installation of finished wallboard. Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation and wood-framed basement walls, SilverGlo™ wall panels are impervious to moisture damage, resistant to compression, and they maintain their R-value over time, while also preventing nesting opportunities for pests such as mice.
Furthermore, each panel features built-in wiring channels, facilitating the straightforward installation of wall outlets, switches, and lights.
Simplify the process of insulating and finishing your basement with ease. Our Basement to Beautiful panels offer both basement wall insulation and waterproof steel framing in a single, straightforward step.
Rigid foam insulation is best for basement and crawl space walls
Rigid foam insulation provides an R-value that can range from about R-4 per in. to over R-6 per in., depending on what type of foam is used to make the panel. In most applications, the foam board is glued to the foundation wall; joints between boards are sealed with 1-part spray foam and then covered with aluminum tape to keep the coverage continuous. In a basement, building codes typically require that this layer of rigid foam insulation be covered with a fire-rated wallboard material.
Foam Insulation From Dr. Energy Saver – New life for old walls.
Injection foam has the perfect consistency to flow into wall cavities. It can stop uncomfortable drafts due to air leakage, making the home’s building shell much more energy efficient.

Most existing wood-frame walls will either have no insulation installed in wall cavities (between studs) or fiberglass material that isn’t performing well. In either case, energy efficiency and comfort can be dramatically improved by filling wall cavities with injection foam, a special kind of spray foam designed specifically for use in building cavities. This water-based foam insulation has the consistency of shaving cream when it’s injected into walls through access holes. It flows around obstacles and existing insulation, filling gaps completely to seal air leaks and provide more complete insulation coverage. It hardens after a few minutes and will not settle, shift or compress like fiberglass insulation.
