Insulate Enclosed Trailer Floor

I am going to insulate an enclosed cargo trailer and i am pretty sold on the expanded cork for the project.

Insulate enclosed trailer floor.

Trailer insulation in the gooseneck floor conduction is heat transferred through a solid material. Since the joists themselves are roughly 1 5 wide the section between each joist was approximately 14 5 wide. Use a vapor barrier to keep your floor above free from condensation caused by the new insulated area. Adding insulation batting to the walls and floor of your three season porch can extend its usefulness during cold weather.

The metal skin and framing of your trailer walls are excellent conductors of heat. My question is what other products should be applied in addition to the cork insulation do i need a heat shield of some sort between the aluminum siding and the cork and then on the inside do i need a vapor barrier between the cork and the inside. Hello greatest community on earth. Without any insulation a trailer sitting directly in the sun heats up fast.

One aspect of the trailer that has remained fairly steady throughout the years is the belly insulation. Roll out the fiberglass insulation sheets between the joists facing side up making sure it is snugly in place. Enclosed but uninsulated sitting areas are known as three season porches but if you live in a northern state cold weather can reduce that to two or even one and a half seasons. It has always been imperative that the floors were insulated where much of the waste and water supply lines were run.
