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.
