Truseal Insulation & A Panel Discussion on : Sealed Crawl Spaces
Truseal Insulation has been working with builders and home owners to bring this Green Building Standard into the forefront of construction practises.
Two reasons to ask for a closed crawl space :
1. Sealing your crawl space keeps mold away with a high quality moisture barrier and converts it into a semi-conditioned dry space.
2. Closed crawl spaces have been proven to save homeowners money on their energy bill.
