a C22 - Sanday News, December 21, 1980 Insulation could save you up to 40% FROM PAGE C19 vide a blanket of comfort around your living space. Ceilings and Attics: For comfort and = savings, in- sulate the attic floor (or ceil- ing if you have a finished at- tic room) and provide ade- quate ventilation for all un- finished attics. Exterior Wails: Insulate all outside walls, including basement walls, as well as walls separating living quarters from an unheated garage or storage space. A vapour barrier is required and must always be placed toward the “warm-in-winter- side” of the wall. Windows and Doors: In- sulate around window and door frames, trimming fibre glass to fit irregular areas. For small spaces stuff insula- tion by hand and cover with a vapour barrier. Adjacent Unheated Areas: Insulate floors, walls and ceilings where occupied rooms adjoin unheated spaces — garages, porch or crawl space. Q: Is insulation really a “do- it-yourself” job? A: Installing fibre glass in- sulation can be a relatively easy do-it-yourself project — depending on the size and construction of the house as well as the homeowner's ex- perience and willingness to handle such projects. For example, insulating an un-floored attic — the most LEN RHODES PLEASE CALL ME IF | MAY BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE TO YOU Office 926-7831 Res. 926-4445 popular do-it-yourself in- sulation chore — requires no special tools and can usually be accomplished in a day's tume. Insulating basement relatively yourself job. If an attic is floored or has an unusual number of inac- cessible nooks and crannies, however, the homeowner may want to consider calling upon the services of profes- sional insulation’ contrac- tors. The same holds true for insulating hard-to-get-at out- side walls. In older homes, these spaces are usually in- sulated with the help of the contractor. Q: Where can insulation be purchased? How can you be sure of getting the proper “R” value? A: Insulation is available na- tionally through building supply dealers and insulation contractors. As for making sure that you're getting the proper “R” value, simply check the package. With blanket products, manufac- turers clearly identify the “R” value performance of their products on the package. unfinished walls is also a simple do-it- With most loose insulating materials. instructions § for obtaining a desired “R” value are lso on the package, follow them carefully.

Q: How much does insula- tion cost? A: To insulate an average, 1,000 square foot attic with RSI 4.9 (R28) of fibre glass insulation will cost approx- imately $450.00. Yet this “first cost” is musleading since every dollar spent on insulation will actually be returned to the homeowner in fuel savings. In fact, for most homeowners. an_ in- vestment in insulauon may pay for itself in lower heating and coohng bills within a few years. And because insula- on is a permanent improve- ment, this savings continues year after year — after the insulation has been paid for. Q: How much can proper in- sulation actually save the average homeowner? A: That depends on climate, local utility costs, and the amount of insulation already in the home. For the average Canadian residence, improvement in insulation can save up to 30- 40% annually and = con- siderably more if your home was built before 1975. The cost of doing this is often paid for in five years, or less, through lower annual heating costs. ADMIRAL REALTY WELCOMES ABOARD LARRY HACKMAN TO THEIR CREW OF PROFESSIONAL REALTORS.
