My last question before I get started with insulating my crawl space. Remember this is my first time doing this. What does the "R" mean for insulation. I was going to insulated my crawl space with fiberglass insulation but a man from the big orange box told me that for a crawl space I could use (i forgot the exact name) styrofoam and glue it to the walls and it would have an R10 rating (or something like that). What did he mean and is styrofoam just as effective as insulation (in Colorado) for keeping the heat in?
