Insulating the floor on Wheelhouse?

[Dahitman44]

I consider this every year, but never do it. Do you guys think it would be worth it? It is a cold floor,m obviously, and are there ANY negatives to this? Can it be dangerous and cause some heat that could de-stablize the ice under it?

Who has done it? How?

Spray foam?

8 x 12 house.

Thanks

I put two layers of 2 inch pink foam board insulation under my 6.5x12 house. I glued them in place and sealed the edges with spray foam. That was a few years ago and have seen no issues since.

The floor is a lot warmer now.

We had ours completely spray foamed and I will do everyone from now on that way

Just put down even 1" of pink insulation and then some 7/16" or 1/2" plywood over the top of it. You won't believe the difference. I have even used 3/8" fan fold insulation with the plywood over it. Unbelievable difference. Your floor will dry out much faster too since it is warmer. The ice under it will stay thicker too.

I don't know if that's true. There is also four inches of foam board insulation under the LOW fish house and if the house is in one spot most of the winter there will be a foot or more less ice than outside the fish house. I asked Nick about it once and he said because the insulation under the house and the banking around the hose.

Also a few years ago put the wheeled house out and it got warm. 5 inches around the house 3 inches under the house.
