Installing Floor Insulation Near Georgetown, Lexington, Charleston

Insulation Solutions for the Spaces Below Your Floor

When possible, convert the space below your floor to a conditioned (warm) space. For example, by insulating basement or crawl space walls with the proper insulating material, those spaces will become much warmer and so will the floors above them. Learn more about our basement insulation and crawl space insulation services.

When it’s not possible to insulate the walls of your basement or crawl space, ask us about insulating the joist bays (spaces between joists) under the floor. We have various types of underfloor insulation materials that can do the job, including spray foam and rigid foam.

Our installers will pay special attention to critical areas, such as perimeter rim joists – a notorious source of air leakage.

Whichever option you choose, it should be accompanied by a thorough air sealing of your home. Air sealing reduces the stack effect that is continually trying to expel air through small openings all throughout the upper reaches of your home, while it pulls in air through gaps around the lower levels of your home. 

Ground level floors aren’t the only ones that can get cold. Rooms built above garages are notorious for having cold floors due to lack of insulation and so is any floor that’s cantilevered (overhangs the foundation perimeter).

Balconies, bow and bay windows, and bump-outs are all examples of cantilevered spaces. Their floors are especially prone to air leaks because of ill-fitting soffits (boards used to seal under the overhang) combined with direct exposure to wind. Reed's Home Solutions has detailed solutions for each and every situation.

We will specify the most appropriate insulation services based upon you home’s construction and your budget.
