Possible Causes of Cold Floors in Your Home:
- The floor is above an unheated garage and improperly insulated.
- The floor is above an unfinished basement and improperly insulated.
- The floor is cantilevered outside the foundation footprint and improperly insulated.
- The floor is above an unheated crawlspace and improperly insulated.
Cold Floor Solutions:
- Remove improperly installed insulation.
- Properly install fiberglass batt insulation.
- Install 2” rigid insulation over the fiberglass batt insulation. This adds more R value while keeping the wind and critters out.
