Why Are Your Floors So Cold in a Chicago Winter?

If your floors stay cold no matter how high you turn up the heat, your home may be losing warmth from below. At Koala Insulation of North Chicagoland, we help homeowners eliminate cold floors during harsh Midwest winters with targeted crawl space and floor insulation solutions.

Why Floors Get Extra Cold Here

Chicago winters bring long periods of freezing temperatures that chill crawl spaces and uninsulated floor cavities. This cold air transfers upward, making flooring icy and forcing your heating system to overwork.

Signs the Problem Is Insulation

• Floors cold to the touch
• Rooms above crawl spaces far colder
• Energy bills rising each winter
• Musty or damp smells from below

If you notice these symptoms, insulation is likely the culprit.

The Fix: Strengthen the Thermal Barrier Below

Koala Insulation of North Chicagoland recommends solutions such as spray foam, batt insulation and air sealing to protect your home from below. These upgrades reduce drafts and stabilize temperatures throughout the winter.
