Quality insulating for crawl spaces
Star Guard is a 2 inch thick styrofoam board insulation with a foil face that is made in the USA. Combined with its silver radiant heat barrier on the visible surface, it provides an insulation rating that can exceed R-10 on your crawl space walls. This insulation can be customized for special projects or local code requirements, making it a versatile, effective solution.
If you're interested in keeping your crawl space dry to help prevent mold, rot, and musty odors, this is the product for you! Star Guard also creates a vapor barrier on your crawl space walls that keeps moisture from making its way into your crawl space, where that moisture would help mold, rot, and mildew grow.

What NOT to do
Far too often, we see crawl spaces vented, with fiberglass insulation on the ceiling.
Crawl space vents bring humid air into a home during the summertime, where it's cooled in the crawl space.
As this air cools, the relative humidity of the air rises, and the excess moisture is left on surfaces in the crawl space in the form of condensation.
Some of this moisture ends up on the fiberglass insulation in your crawl space. Wet or damp fiberglass insulation does not insulate as well as dry insulation, and the added weight will pull it from the ceiling, leaving it in messy, useless piles on the floor.
Wet insulation can actually become a food source for mold and rot which will also grow on any other organic material in your crawl space, including your wood framing.
Additionally, while you're insulating your floor, you probably have utilities in your crawl space, such as your water heater, furnace, heating ducts, and hot water pipes. If you allow the cold winter air into your home through crawl space vents, these heat-generating utilities will be forced to work much harder.
In short, crawl space vents and fiberglass insulation simply do not work!
