Crawl Space
When TempShield™ is installed in crawl spaces, the
heat rays which flow downward in winter are reflected upward,
back into the home at a 97% rate. The temperature of the cold
floors which cause cold feet will be raised while fuel bills
reduce, providing for INCREASED COMFORT. As the heat is
reflected back into the living area, it warms other objects.
Those objects radiate heat back into the room, increasing your
living comfort.
Installation
- Carefully read over the Helpful Tips before starting.
- Inspect your crawl space and make any needed repairs
before installing TempShield™ .
- Check your crawl space to determine the amount of work
space, and whether your floor joists are 16” or 24”
on-center.
- Determine if there are water pipes and heating ducts
which hang below the floor joists. These will need to be
insulated. TempShield™ Pipe Wrap is designed especially for this use. There is
no need to wrap water pipes or duct work that fall between
floor joists. TempShield™ will provide adequate
insulating without extra wrapping
- Start at the end of the house and face staple TempShield™
to the bottom of the first floor joist. Leave
enough length so the insulation can be pulled up to the
band board and stapled.
- Start the next run and face staple to the bottom of the
floor joist. Overlap tabs and seal with foil tape to
create a vapor barrier. At the ends, staple up to the
sub-floor or band board.
