Homes Made Modern
With Insulation

building insulation board made
from sugar cane fiber, showed
that with proper Insulation an
average annual saving of six
tons of fuel was possible, as well
as a saving of $225 to $375 in the
cost of the smaller heating plant
required. A survey of insulated
houses made by the Canadian
government showed similar re
suits
In remodeling homes, insula-
ton board is applied in various
ways. The roof is the most i'm,
portant point because the great.
est heat leakage is there. Inst
lation board is applied preferably
to the underside Of the rafters,
or it can be placed over the old
roofing where a new roof sur.
face is to be applied.
another method is to apply
the board over the top floor cell
ing joistS.
Applying Insulation to Homes
Where new outside finish is
to be used, walls can be insu-
lated by applying insulation board
over the old siding and under
the new finish. If the inside Of
the house is being remodeled,
insulation can be applied in lath
form, serving also as the base
for new plaStering.
Easements and atEics can be
converted into comfortable living
quarters with insulation board.
In these two places, application
of the board on the interior COM
bined with insulation with in
terror finish, making attics easy
to heat in winter and cool in
summer and eliminating damp
ness from basement rooms.

The Washington times., 1930-07-12

In the undermining of any
home built 10 years or more ago
two factors are of primary im-
portance. One is the heating
plant and the other is insulation.
Not the kind of insulation that
goes around electric wiring, but
building insulation that retards
passage of heat through the
walls and roof Of the dwelling.
Today, hundreds of thousands
of new homes are insulated, pro-
viding for the owners fuel econo-
mics and comforts never before
achieved. Fortunately, the use
of insulation is not confined to
new dwellings under construction.
It can be economically installed
in houses already built.
To neglect the advantages of
insulation while undermining the
home is akin to installing glisten-
ing tile on walls and floors of a
bathroom and leaving in old,
inefficient plumbing fixtures.
The installation of insulation
in the remodeling of a home does
three things. BY preventing the
passage of artificial heat out
through walls and roofs it makes
homes warmer in winter. BY pre-
venting the infiltration of outside
heat it makes houses cooler in
summer. And-it reduces mate
rally the amount of fuel needed
to heat the home and makes pos
sible reduction in the size of
heating plant required.
