How to install
adequate insulation
in your attic..'
This is where your battle with the
rising cost of fuel will be won or lost.
This is the most important area in .-
the house for insulation because
heat naturally rises. And if you don't
have enough insulation, your heat
will rise through the ceiling and be
wasted in the attic.
Even if your house is brand new, you
may need more insulation. We
believe you need a minimum of 6"
of insulation in the attic. And 8"
would be better. Fortunately, the at-
tic is ,the easiest of all areas to in-
sulate.

place, including a vapour
barrier, a second vapour barrier
should not be added. Just add
pouring insulation or friction fit
batts between the joists. In-
sulation should be kept 3" . away
from recessed Tight fixtures,.
metal furnace flues and hot
water pipes. It should not block
eave vents. The attic should be
well ventilated to remove heat
build-up insummer and
damaging moisture in winter.

HOW TO REPLACE A DAMAGED CEILING TILE
3 METRES
Approx. 10 ft.
To remove the damaged tile,
cut around the edges with a
utility knife. Carefully lift out
the tile.
Now pull out the original
staples from the framing and
scrape off any remaining tile
material.
Using your knife, cut the
tongue edges off the new tile
that will replace the damaged
one.
With a putty knife, apply
adhesive to the back of the
replacement tile. Now you're
ready to install.
Position the new tile in the
ceiling opening. Use both.
hands to press it level with
adjacent tiles.
