SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation System
A superior solution for sealing and insulating your home's crawl space
What It Does:
SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation is the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient crawl space.
SilverGlo™ combines highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. This gives your crawl space walls an unbroken plane of R-11 insulation.
Technical Features
- Brings Crawl Space Up To Current National Energy Code
- Graphite Particles Improve Insular Properties By 24%
- Radiant Heat Barrier On Visible Side
- Closed-Cell Insulation Will Not Soak Up Moisture Like Other Options
- Economical Insulation Option For Crawl Space Environment
Installing SilverGlo™ on your crawl space walls will also provide your crawl space with a vapor barrier system.
The waterproof polystyrene insulation that makes up SilverGlo™ will hold back moisture from your crawl space walls, and direct flooding water down to your drainage and sump pump system.

Quality & Economy For Insulating A Crawl Space
SilverGlo™ is an expanded polystyrene foam insulation that's been infused with graphite during its creation to improve its insular ability by 24%. Combined with its silver radiant heat barrier on the visible surface, it provides an insulation rating of R-11 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! SilverGlo™ 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.
SilverGlo™ is part of a crawl space repair system that includes our TerraBlock™ Floor Insulation and our CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier. We also have several crawl space waterproofing products such as our SmartSump™ Sump Pump system to control flooding, our SmartPipe™ Drainage System; the only drainage system made specifically for crawl spaces, and our durable CleanSpace® Drainage Matting.

As fiberglass insulation becomes soaked with moisture in a crawl space, it will grow mold and "drip" off the ceiling.
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 that much harder.
In short--crawl space vents and fiberglass insulation simply do not work!
