We have living space above our unheated garage. It is insulated with fibreglass and covered with drywall but the floor is always cold in the winter. I am looking for suggestions on how to re-insulate to have a warm floor.

Insulating the floor above a garage
(2 posts)-
When you say "it is insulated and covered with drywall" are you referring to just the living space or are you referring to the garage as well? My first assumption is that the floor of your living space isn't insulated at all which is why you have the cold air coming up from the garage. Fortunately, the floor can be insulated from the garage below with either batt insulation or with spray foam insulation (check out this YouTube link for spray foam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFjxWdPPY1Q ). I have no experience whatsoever with spray foam. You can read on another post on this forum that it is not a cheap solution, but it is probably the best one in your case.
