I was really surprised to see all the brand new insulation completely.

Insulating three season porch floor.

If you have a three season room adding an extra layer of insulation to accessible areas can make a big difference. A contractor i hired to insulate under my 3 season porch floor has used regular pink insulation r 27 but it has fallen out four times so far now half of it is on the ground. Insulating a 3 season porch mikellucas posted in energy heating insulation on april 14 2003 08 55am my wife and i are in the middle of re claiming our 3 season front porch and we are interested in suggestions or best approach for insulating it so that it can be turned into a year round room. We just had a 3 season room built in place of our deck.

I looked under there today to see if i could come up with an idea for closing the gap to animals and debris. If your walls need insulation it may involve a bigger project of adding new sheetrock over insulation or having it blown into the walls. The windows take up most of the wall space on most three season porches but insulating as much of the walls as you can will go a long way toward providing comfortable temperatures. Our contractor originally said he d add some lattice work between the bottom of the house and the ground but later said there was not enough space to work it in.

Step 2 caulk around window and doorframes as well as any point where wires or pipes penetrate the wall roof or floor of the porch. The job of insulating the floor is easier if there is room to crawl underneath but if there isn t it can still be done.
