Pour it in. The vapour barrier must be applied separately.
Rigid board insulation may be made of polystyrene,
phenolic foam or polyurethane. It offers exceptionhtinsula-
tion for its thickness and weight, averaging R5 (per inch :
" thick) compared with an average of 3.5 for batt or blanket,
• and 3 for loose fill: Other features are its rigidity and a
degree of sound-proofing.
Polystyrene 'is usually the best buy, but it and poly-
. urethane -ate flammable and need to be covered with a
fire-proof material for safe use indoors. Phenolic foam .is
more fire-resistant. Rigid insulation can also be applied
_outside on walls, basements or roofs.
Foamed-in-place insulation is injected as a semi-liquid in
Wall cavities - a professional job needing- special equip-
ment. The material is urea-formaldehyde (average R2,5 per
inch) but make- slim it meets Canadian Gni/en-intent

Where' you can't insulate, you Caulk or apply weather- -
strips in cracks and joints, especially around doors 'and
windows. Yo-p can find these spots by testing for drafts"
with a piece of plastic or tissue (hung from a coat-hanger) -'
or by watching the drift 'of tobacco smoke.

Catch up withith a retrofit
A word that you'll be hearing often is "-retrofit": In case
you, haven't met it, it goes like this: while a.house is being 101fr
built you can fitit with .all the ,insulation you like,. but- .
when the house is!-already built and the insulation is not • =
good enough; you bring it up" to scratch with-a retrofit: ,*4
But why bother' When you have kgOod-looking hoine
and life's not all that bad as long as there's a therinoatat to
push higher as the Weather grows icier? The, triple retrofit
answer to that is:., with proner,qaulatiOn your fuel bills are
much lower (by 25 to 5 5W, depending on the age of the
'Moine and the type. of Construction),• you feel a lot better
indoors without drafts and cold walls, and you are helping ."'
to save valuable ehirgy resources instead of pouring them
„like water, through a. sieve. As a howls, your home is mere
- comfortable winter and' summer.
If you need a retrofit, and most homes ,do,,your choice
of insulating materials will depend on hOw you will use
them, on their R-value (resistance to. heai passing thrOligh
them) ,-and -how well they stand up to moisture, fire, bacz
teria and vermin, and also on their cost, ease of handling
and, depending on the use, their rigidity. or.flex•ibility, The
main types-you may chbose ffom are called batt oehlanket,
loose filk rigid board and foarned-in,place. 7
Batt or blanket-insulation contains glass fibre or mineral
fibre (rock or slag) 'and has a woolly texture.,It comes,-in
&labs (batts) 'or rolls (blankets) with or -without a vapour
barrier, and is generally the easiest insulation to handle and %.
apply: It fits ,snugly between. regularly spaCed joists, studs
or strapping:
Because it -is rolled up like --a carpet, the blanket is
- sometimes the more awkward„ to install. Since batt and
blanket are equally effective, your choice shOuld depend
solely on where they fit beat. Mineral fibre as slightly
higher ,k value thanglass
Loose-fill consists of glass; cellulose or mineral fibres.; or
• vermiculite, polystyrene, wood shavings or wood wool. It is
sold by the bag and usually coats less than batts Or blankets
per unit? of R value. Loose fill is especially.. handy for.
irregular space's betWeen joists or other odd-shaped'areas. It ammo •
is alaO a simple way, "to insulate 'a wall space if you can just , =."
