Floor Insulation
For optimum comfort it is desirable to install insulation under the floor. Reflective insulation is easily installed and available
from Pacific Yurts in 4’ wide rolls. It can be stapled between the 4” x 6” joists or to the bottom edge. Rigid foam insulation
board is also recommended and can be cut to fit between the joists and supported with protruding nails or wood strips
used as stops. Alternatively it can also be nailed to the underside of the joists in full sheets and trimmed at the perimeter
joists. Use large head simplex nails or lath strips when nailing so that the insulation board is firmly attached and will
not work itself loose. Standard fiberglass roll insulation also works when wire mesh or equivalent is used to support
and protect it. Even so, certain nesting creatures find this material attractive for their nests and this could reduce its
effectiveness.
