Insulation

I'm not going to get too technical on this issue since I'm not an insulation specialist. I think the bottom line is we need insulation in our structures, and around our air ducting. Like most people I don't like fiberglass, but it is a very cost effective form of insulation.
Let's just mention a few structure insulating methods. For attics and under floors fiberglass batt insulation seems to work well and homeowners can do it themselves. Fiberglass and cellulose blown in insulation is effective because of time factor of installation. It can be added to existing structures fairly easily without too much intrusion.
For a real clean and effective job foam works really well. I really like the application in attics where it can be sprayed on the roof rafters so the attic space can be used for comfortable storage area.
Any insulators reading this please send comments or your info so we can help inform our followers.
Next time we'll cover duct insulation.
