An existing home can be fully
insulated with mineral wool
without damage to walls or
ceilings by having the insula-
ton blown into inaccessible
areas.
This job is done by an insula-
ton contractor who has the nee
essary equipment. Loose min
eral wool is blown through a
flexible hose into all cracks and
corners and around all pipes
and wires. The siding removed
to insert the hose nozzle is re-
placed carefully after the walls
are tightly filled. Ceilings are
done by bringing the hose
through an attic window.

ed cuts down the size of cool
ing equipment required and its
operating costs.
New Designations
Practically all mineral wool
manufacturers have switched
from the old method of CLASH
flying their products by inches
of thickness to a system of "R"
designations. "R" means resist
ance to heat flow out of a house
in winter or into it in summer"
Instead OF describing what the
insulating material is, the "R"
factor tells what its effect will
be after it is installed. The
greater the 'R" number, the
more effective the insulation.
For a comfortable, well insu-
lated house, bats or blankets
of mineral wool marked Rio
should be put in ceilings, Ri
in walls, and Rib in floors.
Other insulation materials are
made Of rock wool, glass, Stag,
paper pulp, gypsum, asbestos,
cork, aluminium foils, vermic.
ulia, cotton and other vegetable
and mineral matter.
Insulating a house also can
be a doit-yourself project. Dur
ing remodeling or before a new
home is completed, it's a com.
paraively easy matter for the
home handyman to place bats
or blankets of mineral wool be
tween studs in walls or between
ceiling joists.
How To Proceed
Here are some basic rules to
observe for a good insulating
job:
/. Use insulation of proper
"R" factor in all exposed walls,
ceilings, and floors over unheat-
ed areas.
2. Trim the insulation a bit
larger than the space it is to
cover, leaving a flange of vapor
barrier at each end. With a
very sharp knife or blade, cut
along a piece of board or
straight edge.
3. Fit the insulation tightly
between joists, studs or rafters
with vapor barrier overlapping
the wood framing members at
the end of the space. The bar
rier should be toward the side
Of the house that is heated in
winter.
