I discussed this with a contractor friend who agreed with the Boss about the integrity of the area under the house. This man is no one's fool.

Jim, I'm amazed that people don't get it. You have enough conviction about the product to continue to talk about it. Heck, I saw you use it at the New York cabin. I'm in Michigan, and since I saw you use it, we swear by it. Thanks again

Rich Wicklund me too I am also in Michigan and I would use it no problem!

We live in Central Montana and we know about cold! Last February the average daily temp was about 0.5 degrees. We live in a mobile home that is skirted, but had no insulation. We would have all of the base cabinet doors open at night and let the water trickle just to make sure it didn't freeze. It was so cold, we were having frost heaves under the house. You could hear the house creaking and groaning. This past summer, we decided to try the foil-faced bubblewrap. We placed it on the inside of the studs that the skirting attaches to, in a continuous run to keep seams to a minimum. It runs from the bottom of the house down to the ground. The first cold spell we had this year, the outside temperature was -14. I opened the access panel and took a temperature measurement about 6 feet inside and the thermometer registered 36 degrees. When I opened the access, I could feel the warm air coming out! So far, we've had temps in the range of 0 to -20. No open cabinets, no trickling water and my heat tape (which is thermostatically controlled) has barely run. It works!

I used bubble foil in my cabin floor because you spoke highly of it and I am really impressed with it. Congrats on 100k subscribers (looks like you'll hit it any moment)! Thats an incredible accomplishment.

I used it in my outhouse floor and it definitely works. I made the mistake of not doing it in my cabin floor which was built before the outhouse and I wish I had. But, because of how well it worked in my outhouse floor, I ended up deciding to use it in my cabin ceiling. It's a gable roof but I created a small attic space by putting up 2x4s from one side to the other, horizontal with the floor. Then I just stapled the bubble foil to the joists and then outside the cabin I have soffit vents along the overhang. In the small attic space I have 2 exhaust vents on the peak of the roof to allow the ceiling to breathe. The venting is important to pull the moisture out of the cabin in the summer and prevent ice dams in the winter. After only adding the bubble foil alone, the temperature inside my cabin in the morning on a cold winter night only gets down to the high 50s at worst. Before the bubble foil where I only had the plywood and shingles, the cabin would end up in the 40s or below when I woke up unless I tended the fire at 3:00-4:00 AM. My thermometer doesn't have an agenda and didn't lie to me. Hahaha. They can say whatever they want, I am also very happy with it.

Bubble bashers be gone. Thanks for sharing. Works well for hammock camping too.

Bubble foil works 100 percent on my brick walls in my basement i covered the cold brick the wall and the room is so much warmer try it dont dought something you havent tryed reflectix is the best thing. Jc ever reccommend thank you so much for the idea

I've lived in a remote area of the Southern Californian Mojave Desert for the past 44 years. The cold (which I've always hated), is not a problem. However, fire ants, and rodents of all sizes and types, plus July, August, and September heat of 110 degrees F. daily are. Your video blog is fascinating, and even though I'm now 82 and my heavy construction days have passed, your explanation and demonstration of the use of bubble wrap has me thinking that if bubble wrap works to block the cold, it may also work to block out the heat... Thank you for your video, and I consistently thank KZread for the priceless content shown on it.

Since you showed us this method of insulating floors in your upstate NY cabin, I have used it twice. Once in my own off grid cabin in the mountains of VA and once for a customer. It works wonderfully. Thank you, Boss, for sharing your knowledge and insight.

Was wondering if you can use the bubble foil insulation on the inside of the cabin floor, like under my flooring? Or would that just flatten out the bubble wrap and defeat the insulative property? I only ask as my shed to cabin did not come with an insulated floor and it is just sitting on skids over a gravel base. I am located in northern WI (Mercer, in the snowbelt of Lake Superior and lots of nights below zero).Ideally my cabin needs to be raised (have any suggestions on how to do that??) and put in the proper insulation. I was thinking about spray foam or the 2" pink board, but after watching your videos, I know to shy away from either product due to the problems with ant infestation. The last two winters I have had success using straw bales around the base of the cabin in combination with the 2" pink board which I cut to 2 ft wide sections and put between the exterior cabin wall base and the straw bales. R value works out to be around R-25 to R-35 for the cabin base. It helps quite a bit but I still feel a draft on the floor. Even at that it is easy to maintain a temp of 70F. In Spring I use my straw bales for my straw bale garden. I did my walls and ceiling with rock wool insulation which works great. My roof has a ridge vent (which I have left open). I heat with a natural gas Jotul stove, direct-vented out the wall and have no moisture problems in the cabin. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks, Nancy...yes, it's a women's venture!

I followed the advice you gave about using it in a cooler. I put it in a large 72? Qt cooler. Lined the whole inside and made a removable piece that goes over the top of the food and ice. It went from maybe a day and half to 3 even 4 days of holding ice! Who needs a several hundred dollar cooler, when you can buy a roll of this stuff and have similar results with a cheap cooler. Thanks as always for the great advice!

We are in Michigan and hubby and I used it on a lake cottage renovation both for over our cement slab and our wooden porch floor that is cantilevered over an open crawl space. There are carpenter ant nests outside of the wall so good to know about them and the foam board! No problems with this and the mini split we use for heat has been very economical.

Bubble foil works great to keep your apples from freezing, but doesn't Shield you from know-it-all opinions😁

Good to hear from you buddy keep on trucking

Definitely taken your advice for all the experience you have over the years .. much appreciated ..

Used this stuff in the engine room of my canal boat between the steel hull and the 6mm ply that covers it. Made a heck of a difference. Bearing in mind I am basically a steel box surrounded by water. In other places I packed the gunnel space with 50mm foil backed insulation. I have to replace some rotten flooring and plan to put some underneath. Incidentally, I built the insulated cool box you inspired me to. Holes at the bottom draw cold air from floor level (I plan to drill a hole to the bilge where it's REALLY cold!) and holes at the top rear to let the warm air out. I bought a marble tile for the bottom and so far it keeps everything much better than before. UHT milk lasts twice as long as it used to just in an ordinary cupboard! Getting a computer fan to see if I can improve it any. Cupboard is 18mm ply (scrap I got given) and 25mm expanded polystyrene on three sides. Cheap, cheerful and it works!

Boss, I came acrooss 2 Channels that love watching your videos an followed your advice for the floor of their cabin they were building and they said they got it from you and they did it, and it's working out great, after 2 years!

We have a walk-in unfinished basement with our cabin. It was vacant for several years. We tore out the insulation because the mice made nests in there. We are thinking about insulation under the main floor but have done nothing yet except plug up every hole that led to the main level. I think we will try the bubble wrap as you suggest under the floor above the basement and in the short walls of the basement too and see how it does. It's a vacation cabin but we go there several times a year in all seasons, including winter. Thanks for reminding about the bubble wrap! Those citrus fruits look good!

Heck yeah Boss you’re spot on. Before I started watching you a few years back I built a nice little coyote shooting shack and insulated with free foam board I scored. Sure enough the ants had a field day with it. Bubble foil is just good backwoods logic. Ha. You guys are the best. TJ

Great concept, no rodents and keeps just enough heat in to stay above freezing. You are spot on Sir. Biggest thing is keep any breeze out of area and a small RV value is all you need. You are right about the heat transfer on the floor joists. Perfect shallow root cellar and I love the freezer room, excellent use of the waist heat from the freezer. 👍🏻👍🏻. oh and it does work. we use the same bubble foil up here in Maine in the off grid camp.

I built a 12x16 log cabin put that stuff in my floor 5 years ago after watching you do it and it works perfect no ants no mice

I plan to build a small cabin in the future and on my list is the bubble foil just like your shed. I got the idea from you and it's a great idea. Thank you!!

I rebuilt a 1973 GMC motor home back in 97. The coach floor is much closer to the road than other motor homes. Heat transfer from the hot summer pavement is a real problem. We put a layer of bubble foil down first then carpet pad and carpet. Big improvement. Added bonus was the sound reduction as well. I love the stuff!!

I have watched all the 'bubble foil' videos you've made and am a believer! We live for part of the winter in our cabin in the Yukon. It is an old log cabin that has very little clearance under the original floor. We plan to eventually remove the old floor and put in a new one that will level things out inside. This will be such great information for then. We also added an addition on the cabin for a kitchen that has about 2 feet of space under it. I spend much of the winter cooking with frozen feet! There is a woodstove in the kitchen that keeps the upper part of the room warm enough. But, OMGee...the floor freezes! We are dealing with -10 to -40C temperatures. My water buckets freeze if I leave them on the floor and my waste water from the sink bucket is an ice cube. I am so excited to try this out! Thank you so much for this information!

You won't be disappointed. This stuff works awesome.

It totally makes since that it works so well to me. I've done a lot of minimalist backpacking and the sleeping pad I used was basically a blow up version of that. the air in the bubbles helps but it's really the reflective property that in my opinion makes it work so well that it seem unbelievable. Think about emergency blankets - they are just foil with no air and they'll keep you warm enough although they may not be really cozy and comfortable.

Well you've convinced me! So fast & easy to do during initial construction. Not impossible as a retrofit. Low cost materials and simple tools. One man job this summer 14' x 24' cabin on piers. I'm you're new convert! Thanks for the info and as always best of luck in everything.

Thanks for the information I am definitely going to use it on some of my buildings!

There is no frost under the house because the heat leaving the cabin floor is keeping the frost out. If the building was unheated the frost would be in the ground under the cabin. And he says that in the video.

Jenn and I also used your technique with the bubble foil. Its even in one of my build videos and I mention you. lol But a warning to the builders. I am building by myself so it took some time to get it all buttoned up. We had a bad rain storm and my sub floor did get wet because the wind ripped my tarp. The water got trapped between the bubble foil and the sub floor. So I had to go under and punch holes into the bubble foil to drain the water. After I drained it I had to go around and tape up the holes. But I am a few steps away from finishing up the cabin. So next year I will hopefully get great results like you! I will let you know the results! Great video take care Boss...

@@gregi5850 I used only reflectix directly under the subfloor. It works great, I but I’m in South Texas. The packaging shows an installation method in which you leave an air gap between the reflectix and the subfloor, so between the joists instead of on top of them. If I lived where it was colder I might have insulated the floor with the same material and left an air gap for more r value, but it seemed unnecessary where I live. Cool project, good luck to you sir!

You ARE the boss, let the know nothings talk 😁

Thank you very much for this video. This will prove very valuable for many people.

Thank you so much for this video and your conviction to this bubble foil which has done wonders for you and many here. My Dad and I will be building our first shed and we will use this method for flooring. I really appreciate you answering many questions I’ve had along the way through your videos. Keep up the amazing work helping others who really need it. Blessings

Good luck with your project. I'm installing it in the roof system right now and filming the process. Update coming soon.

I love bubble wrap/reflectics as I said in my text in one of your past videos I live in a cargo van, I have board insulation and The bubble wrap. Other van dwellers I know are having a hard time warming and keeping the warmth in their van homes. It is cold in their vehicles because they only have the basic installation. They cannot keep their vehicles warm Because it’s like the air just flows through every single crack there is. In my van I have fiberglass in all the large holes between the inside and outside walls, insulation board on walls and ceiling then bubble wrap over all that and on the floor then the paneling. I think what people can’t wrap their heads around is it is not an R value. What they don’t understand is it is more of a windbreak, therefore things stay much warmer. That may be a better way for the negative Nancy’s to grasp the concept.insulation but I would consider it a huge windbreak. If used correctly bubble wrap is worth its weight in warmth. Don’t stress the inboxers their just stuck in the box. Excellent video as always and those apples and oranges looked so good. Great idea for the toolbox. That one I will remember.

Insulation board is supposed to be fitted properly with filled and taped seams in the first place.

I have been collecting rolls of bubble foil since moving into a mobile home this fall. Can't wait for summer to get under it and Insulate. Floors are so cold this winter, it makes the feet ache after a few seconds without sheepskin slippers. Looking forward to warmer floors and lower heating Bill's next year. God Bless you for sharing this practical tip!

Thanks for great advice. I just bought a cabin in Canada and I am gone give a try and see how it work for the under cabin floor and for the skirting. Cross fingers and keep giving us great scoops.

Used it on my camper build for the ceiling and walls, never been happier at how well it works thanks brother 👊
