Hello all,
I would like to get some opinions on best practices for my cabin flooring and under floor insulation. Ideally, I would like to use wood planks for flooring. I was thinking about #2 pine 6" wide. My cabin is in Vermont, so zone 6, cold and humid. I know vinyl might be best and also read about engineered hardwood which I might consider but I really hate vinyl, plastic etc. Cabin will be used for leisure and will also be rented out.
Secondly, the cabin floor is not currently insulated. It seems that there was fiberglass insulation underneath, but rodents got into it and it eventually fell down. The underneath is mostly accessible with 1/4 not accessible due to being too close to the ground. Would closed cell spray insulation be an option? If not, I've seen a video on YouTube about a guy that talked about bubble wrapped insulation over the existing subfloor with 1/2" strips of plywood over it and then another layer of subfloor. Any thoughts on this? I'm not planning to skirt the cabin after reading about skirting.
Thank you!
