If a crawl space is inaccessible or too small, insulation can be installed by lifting selected floorboards from above. The recommendation is to lift approximately every fifth floorboard to create access points. From these openings, insulation is pushed down into the voids between the joists. To secure the insulation, plastic strapping is then stapled to the sides of the joists using a tacker stapler, holding the insulation in place.
