Temperature And Humidity Control
Most Important During First Year Effective Insulation Can
.Lower Your Heating Costs
This four-bedroom bungalow de-
sign by architect Jacques Vincent,
of Ste. Dorothee, promises luxur-
ious living for the larger family.
Utilizing a complete bedroom wing,
the architect has provided complete
privacy for the sleeping area as
well as ample closet space.
A feature of the interior plan is
the master bedroom with its private
bathroom, dressing room and double
clothes closet. Other eye-catching
provisions in the design are the
large, well-lighted living room which
can be shut off from the dining
room by a wooden 'accordion door;
the generous kitchen with space for
dining and a built-in area for a
washer and dryer; the screened flag-
stone porch which provides a cover-
ed •walk between the kitchen and
garage and the large coat closet
with built-in table adjoining the
front entrance. The basement is
partitioned, into four sections allow-
ing for furnace and laundry rooms
as well as a large games room and
storage area.
The total floor area is 1,662
square feet and the exterior dimen-
sions are 58 feet by 47 feet. Work-
ing drawings for the house, known
as Design 804, may be obtained
from Central Mortgage and Housing
at minimum cost.
For those requiring a large home,
this two-storey four-bedroom design
by architect T. M. Kirkham, of
Vancouver, is worthy of considera-
tion. The exterior appearance is
enhanced by the attached garage
and protected front entrance which
modifies the height of the dwelling.
All four bedrooms are of gener-
ous dimensions and have ample
closet space. Both the front and
side entrances are handy to the
kitchen, which includes a dining
nook. There is a full basement con-
taining space for storage, utility,
heating and a recreation room. A
noteworthy feature for the man
of the house is the well-lighted
work area which forms part of the
garage.
The total floor area is 1,582
square feet and the exterior dimetn
sions are 42 feet by 32 feet, six
inches. Working drawings for the
house, known as Design 606, may
be obtained from Central Mortgage
I and Housing Corporation at mini-
mum cost.
The structural lumber used
IA your home has been selected
by the builelersin. the sizes and.
grades which provide a factor
of safety beyond the actual
necessity to carry the load for
which it is intended. Some
shrinkage in 'these framing
Members—jolsts, studing, raft-
ers, etc.,--4s to be expected but
your home has been designed so
that any settling that will take
,place will be as nearly uniform
as possible. Wood, like any oth-
er building material, many` con-
tract or expand with changes
in the weather. Wood is not
affected by heat or cold, but it
may shrink under extreme dry-
ness, or swell under extreme
humidity. Shrinkage is. inevi-
table but it can be minimized
by keeping your indoor tem-
perattne and humidity as uni-
form as possible, day and night,
especially during the first year
after the house is built. About
70. degrees of temperature, and
30 percent humitlfty, are con-
sidered ideal. Very high tem-
peratures with low relative
humidity tend to dry the house
out too quickly with the result
that lumber and millwork twist,
split and pull.
If moulding and trim separ-
ate slightly, it is due to shrink-
age, :the cracks may be filled
with putty or wood filler.
Should the moulding attached

At one time the only insula-
tion in a house was likely to be
that provided by the interior
and exterior cladding and finish.
Since plaster and brick or wood
cladding have - comparatively
little insulation value, heat from
the furnace rapidly 'escaped to
the exterior. A great deal of
fuel was burned in an effort
to keep the house warm; the
results were fax from ideal.
This problem has•be-en large-
ly overcome by insulating the
walls and ceiling. Today the
question is no longer "should
a house be insulated", but
"what type of insulation should
be used, and how should it be
applied".
There are three common
types of insulation in use at
present.. Newer foarri.typ.e mat-
erials are alSo being introduced.
Use Air Cells
Both mineral wool and fibre-
board contain millions of small
dead air cells--air that is not
in motion -.-- which slow down
the travel of heat from the in-
terior of the house to the out-
side. Reflective insulation is
based on the principle that a
shiny metal surface will reflect
heat waves back into a room
in much the same way as a
mirror reflects light. is not
as widely used as the other
two types and must be installed
with the greatest of care to be
effective.
Any living space that is heat-
ed on one side and exposed to
cold air on the other requires
insulation. The walls of a heat-
ed crawl space should also be
insulated, The insulating values
of the more commonly used con-
struction materials may be, ob-
tained. at any office of Central
Mortgage and Housing Corpora-
tion and also the combinations
of materials which meet the
minimum insulating require-
ments for NHA-financed houses.
In determining the type and.
amount of insulation, tit should
be remembered that there is
very little difference in cost be-
tween the bare minimum and
more effective insulation, Insul-
ating cost should be considered
in relation to long-term heating
costs.
Furring Strips
Fibreboard insulation is gen-
erally used ,in masonry con-
struction with fibreboard panels
nailed to furring strips. The
panels -often serve as a base for
plaster and no further lathing
is required. The panel may also
have a built-4n vapour barrier.
If not, a separate vapour bar-
rier—material resistant to wat-
er vapour—should be stapled to
the furring before the panels
are applied.
Glass wool or rock wool batts
are used sometimes with mas-
onry construction. `A heavier
furring of 2x2 lumber is Men
needed 'to provide enough space
for the insulating batts between
the masonry and the interior
finishing material.
Fibreboard is commonly used
with plank frame construction.
It is nailed directly to the
planks which have been over-.
laid with building paper.
In open framework or stud
frame construction, mineral
wool batt'S or rolls that can be
cut into batts of the required
length are used. This type of
insulating material comes tin. a
permanent paper wrapping, one
side of which is already treated
to make it resistant to water
vapour. The batts are just wide
enough to fit snugly between
the studs, The flange on either
side of the paper wrapping is
stapled to the stud's to hold the
batts in place.
The thicker the baits, 'the
greater 'the insulating value.
Three-inch batts are popular
but in colder areas subject to
long and severe winters, four-
inch baits may be available, In
mild areas', two4inich 'batts are
sufficient.
Should Be Neat
A good insulation job is
usually a neat job. Frayed
edges, tagging ends and spotty
'stapling are signs of inferior
workmanship. If the batts are
cut too short a gap is left
either at the top or at the
bottom and this is Usually filled
with loose woo]. In narrow
spaces, such as the opening be-
tween the rough framing and
window and -around door fram-
es, loose wool is often used in
packing.
Ceilings can be insulated in
a number of ways. Loose min-
eral wool is probably employed
to a greater extent in insulating
ceilings • than any other mater-
ial. It is cheaper than mineral
wool batts, easier to apply, and
can be laid to any depth. This
last feature is important be-
cause heat loss. through 'the
ceiling 'accounts for a large per-
centage of the total heat loss
in 'the average house, The wool
should be spread 'to a depth
