The best way to insulate a crawlspace would be to do it from the ground up and consider it just part of the conditioned space as you would with any basement. When you re using fiberglass batting insulation material run it about 6 inches or so onto the crawl space floor. Place 1 5 in 3 8 cm moisture proof insulation on the exposed parts of your foundation. Then use foundation pins to fasten the insulation to your foundation.

In a vented crawl space the underfloor should be insulated similar to how it is in ceilings. Cut the insulation to fit the cinder block brick or whatever your foundation is made of. For extra insulation repeat the process so that you have a double layer of insulation board. Jm comforttherm kraft faced and unfaced insulation are all possible products to use for this application.

This may be done before or after the subfloor has been installed.
