Hey, I realize this is a few years after you posted these videos, but I just found and watched them, and I'm very grateful. I will be building a mountainside cabin in my lifelong home state of NH this summer, and the old logging road to get to it is REALLY steep and REALLY tricky to drive. I can't drive much up there for building materials, so I have to build from what I have on the land-- essentially a log cabin. But these videos you posted are awesome, and there's something about you that just says "this guy is trustworthy" to me. I very much appreciate your taking the time and effort to make and post these videos.

Bubble foil also works great for an insulating mat in a tent, sitting pad or hammock when camping if it's cool or cold. Light weight and can easily be cut to size.

I watched this last year and there was no pink stuff when I was building my 14x40. So I took a chance and used bubble wrap in the walls and ceiling. Its 9 degrees out side and 74 in this cabin with 4 -110 electric heaters. That perfect!!!

We have a metal building here in Hawaii. The roof at 16 foot high is insulated with this bubble foil and makes a BIG difference. Not in heat loss, but in heat gain. There are no ceilings and this would be a 50'X300' oven without it even with moderate temps 70 to 80 degree F`. AND the 'rain on a tin roof' is not music at the downpours we get and it helps immensely. (Last month 30 inches in about 1week.) Often we cannot hear the TV at 6 foot away or the phone ringing it rains so hard. Detractors say it will attract mice, but have no evidence of this and there is no air gap between the foil and the steel roofing. Keep spreading the word about this material. It works.

Watching both videos has been a game changer for us saving us lots of $$$ in needless insulation and products on our deck floor underneath. (Making a 2-3 season porch... not really heated. ) Our skirting will be open for ventilation and light as we have block basement windows there - but there will be no rodents finding a free warm home to live in and trash during the winter!

The bubble wrap is a perfect solution for the question I had about insulating the floor. Thanks and have a great day!

I had a thought about part of the reason why this may work. As far as I know, layers of trapped air act as insulation. Many layers of thin clothes keep you warmer than one thick one. The insulated skirting is creating a very nice air pocket underneath your cozy warm cabin. It's a buffer zone. Great thinking about keeping the pipes warm. You are one smart cookie!

The ceiling of my NY cabin has 3" foam insulation. What a mistake. It's the Holiday In for ants. NEVER AGAIN. Bubble foil all the way :-))

Part of why it works so well is that it reflects infrared radiation (IR). That's the warmth you feel from a fire through glass. It's basically light that you can't see with your eyes but you can feel with your skin. So it reflects the IR from warmer places back into the warmer places which keeps the warmer places warm for longer and/or with less added heat. Love the tip!

Thank you Daniel and all the best to you.

well done, i'm a believer, can't wait to give it a try.

About 10 years ago I bought a basic wooden shed to use as a backyard office. The floor consisted of joists with tongue and groove boards nailed straight onto them. As the installers were erecting the shed, they added nothing in the way of a membrane or insulation. I cursed the fact that due to it being only 8 inches off the ground, I would never be able to add any insulation at a later date without dismantling the entire shed (in hindsight, should have done this). I had come across the relatively new product, as The Boss appropriately calls it "bubble foil" and decided to instead put it on the inside of the 2" studded walls and ceiling with some 1/8" birch plywood over it. I bought the plywood, but it took me a while to get around to it, and in the meantime I ran out of money. The best I could do was to buy some good ole regular bubble wrap from an office supply place and use it in the same way as the foil stuff. Granted it doesn't get very cold here in Ireland, but it worked a charm and ever since has made a rot-free lovely, toasty little space.

Nothing short of - great video ... thanks!

I love your videos. I am far more likely to follow a tried & true tested method like yours than a 100 so called "independent" reviews. I am having a shed delivered in a couple of weeks and will definitely incorporate your flooring and skirting insulation methods shown here. Great video!

Former Construction Specialist/Engineer. Physics (Thermodynamics) Heat seeks cold NOT vice versa. 1. I think the heat in your cabin is being transmitted through the floor joists as you suspected. I agree. 2. Geothermal (ground) heat transfer. In other words, I think because the ground under the cabin is not exposed to the cold outside air it doesn't freeze because of normal geothermal heat transference. Personally, I never used this method but ever since you mentioned it I became interested in the science of what was going on. In closing, I think the other interesting factor that is taking place is HEAT REFLECTION due to the aluminum foil. Anyway, that's my two cents worth.................IT WORKS!

We had a pole barn/garage/workshop built last year and had that insulation put on(they call it double bubble here in KY). We put the vehicles in there after they had snow and ice on them in 0-10 weather. Without any heat source, the snow and ice melted off the trucks. So it had to be above freezing in there, and that means a 30 or more degree shift with just double bubble and no heat source. I should've put a thermometer in there but didn't think of until afterwards, now I'm a believer yessah. ; )

Enjoyed your video and found your floor insulation made a lot of sense, especially with the rodent issues. I bought several rolls of bubble foil about 20 years ago to use in a new attached garage. I ended up using traditional paper backed glass insulation, but hung on to the bubble foil for spot insulation use afterward. About 5 years ago I found a great use after purchasing a 34' diesel Trawler for a 7,000 mile circumnavigation of North America. I cut the insulation to fit all my cabin windows, attached with a few small strips of clear velcro.The shades were easy on/off providing shade and insulation from the summer sun and making a huge difference in interior temperature. I also used them selectively for night privacy, if needed in a marina.The few times I was caught in the cold, bubble foil on the windows greatly diminished the drafts coming from the windows.
