When do you need Drowa?
It is always a good idea to insulate your crawl space with Drowa crawl
space insulation. Irrespective of the question whether your crawl space
is damp or dry, this type of crawl space insulation will permanently
lessen energy consumption, thus reducing your energy bill.
With a proportional increase of dampness in your crawl space, it becomes
ESSENTIAL to install Drowa crawl space insulation.
If you neglect to do this, you will only end up cheating yourself out
of money. The walls and the floor will absorb a large proportion of the
moisture. This moisture will also be transplanted into your crawl space
through condensation.
As you probably know, dampness eliminates and conducts warmth and results
in cooling. If your floor is moist, a large degree of the warmth in the
room will flow away through the floor to your crawl space.
By installing a layer of Drowa in your crawl space, the temperature
of the floor in your home will increase. Because the temperature of the
underneath side of the chips is lower than on the top side, the damp
air will condensate on the bottom. As a result, the relative dampness
on the top side of the chips will decrease, which means that the temperature
of the floor in your home will increase dramatically.
What are the symptoms of dampness?
Indications of dampness in your crawl space can include:
- musty air on
the ground level,
- the floor feels very cold,
- the plaster is loose in places,
- mould has formed on the walls and
wallpaper.
Catastrophic consequences of dampness as
a result of wet crawl spaces can include your floor being subjected to
wood rot or ‘concrete rot',
the corroding of pipes in your crawl space, and chronic allergies to
the mould growing in your crawl space. See www.astmafonds.nl for
further details.
So please, for your own sake, be aware that Drowa crawl space insulation
always offers you an optimally advantageous package.
