What is Insul-barrier Wall Insulation?
Insul-Barrier Wall Insulation, also known as Insulbarrier Foundation Blanket, is installed on the interior foundation wall of a crawl space. This type of insulation is designed to reduce moisture, prevent mold growth, wood rot and condensation in the crawl space. Insul-Barrier Foundation Blanket features a multi-layer construction for optimum insulation performance.
Benefits of Insulbarrier Foundation Blanket

Longer-lasting than fiberglass due to its increased durability and waterproof capabilites.
Allows access to the subfloor in the case of a leak or other needed repairs.

What is R-19 Fiberglass Insulation?
This is the minimum requirement for crawl spaces in NC. This type of insulation is installed in-between the floor joists in the crawl space and is supported with wire insulation hangers.
Should homes that did not have insulation installed when built have it installed now?
We recommend all homes have insulation installed. Even older homes that did not have it built in to begin with. Typically, this was due to existing lower energy costs or previous building codes. Without insulation, a home cannot regulate temperatures efficiently.
