6. Polyurethane Spray Foam Insulation and Thermal Diffusion/Conduction February 10, 2008 The US Department of Energy states that between 50% and 70% of the average home energy expense goes to heating and cooling. Therefore, homeowners may reduce the amount that they spend on energy by insulating their home. Insulation reduces the amount of heat lost by a home during winter months and the amount of heat entering a building during summer months. The way in which thermal energy can be transferred between a building and the surrounding environment is important to choosing and applying the proper insulation. In general, there are three ways in which thermal transfer occurs: ... (read more) Author: Andrew Stratton

7. Simple Truths About Thermal Insulation January 22, 2008 Thermal insulation is basically insulation to reduce the flow of heat. It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. Insulation is basically anything that conducts heat slowly. Heat is a form of energy and travels from hot to cold. Pretty much like water might flow from high places to low places, from the top of a waterfall downwards. Insulation keeps you warm in winter by trapping the heat in the building, or trapping your body heat within your clothing. Yes, you can use heaters or a fireplace to keep your home warm in winter. But you would need less electricity to keep the te... (read more) Author: Janice Wee

8. Batt Insulations, are they a sound investment for soundproofing? January 09, 2008 “Which batt type insulation will give me the best soundproofing?” I hear this question a lot, or better still, “Do I need to add more soundproofing if I already have insulation in the walls and ceilings?” Keep in mind that any batt type insulation, though it may be a great thermal insulator, is generally not very good as a soundproofing agent. If batt insulations such as fiberglass insulation or Icynene were effective soundproofing products, the big boys like Johns Manville ™ and Owens Corning ™ would take over the soundproofing industry and leave the real professionals out in the cold.

There are different types of skins which ranges from the dry to oily types and this also depends upon heredity. It plays a vital role in protecting the body from pathogens and provides the body insulation and thermal regulation against heat. It also helps the body to synthesize the vitamin D and vitamin B. It helps the body t... (read more) Author: Leanne Kemp

10. Roof Insulation in the UK July 03, 2007 Roof insulations structure not only eliminates problems caused due weather, like leakage etc., but also perks up thermal and acoustic insulation of the ceiling warmer and quieter. Roof Insulation (UK) has a dual advantage, in summer season the ceiling remains cool, and radiates this cool air down, so the weather in-house remains cool, this helps in reducing electric bills greatly, since you will not need the AC too frequently. In the winter cycle, the roof radiates warmth, not requiring the use of the heat radiator, thus further contributing to your electric bill. Roof insulatio... (read more) Author: william amerson

12. Green glue soundproofing instead of Fiberglass insulations March 15, 2007 Old School soundproofing still believes that batt insulation is a good soundproofing agent. There are some good sound batt insulations out there such as Roxul AFB and Bonded logic’s bonded cotton insulation and they work well for both soundproofing and thermal protection, however no batt insulation is strong enough to stand alone as the sole soundproofing material in a wall ceiling or floor assembly. If you can afford a good batt insulation I always encourage it, but if you are soundproofing as ceiling and are not really concerned about the thermal aspects of the ceiling then I feel adding d...

14. Thermal Insulation for Your Home November 29, 2006 Humans are a delicate species. To fluorish, we need the right kind of water, the right mix of gases, the right amount of diet, the right kind of atmosphere, the right kind of temperature, and so on and so forth. Thus, we have always found the need to control our surroundings. If something vital to our survival is missing, we have always found a way to invent it. We needed a means for speedy travel, so we invented cars. We needed energy to do our daily activities so we set up power plants. And if something is not conducive to our survival, we always find a way to eliminate it or modify it... (read more) Author: Paul Smith

19. The Asbestos Cancer Epidemic August 17, 2006 Asbestos is a general term applied to certain fibrous minerals long popular for their thermal resistance, tensile strength, and acoustic insulation properties. Asbestos minerals are divided into two groups: serpentine and amphibole. Only one type of asbestos is derived from serpentine minerals: chrysotile, also known as white asbestos. Amphibole minerals include five asbestos species: amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite. Two of these are the most commercially valuable forms: amosite, or brown asbestos, and crocidolite, or blue asbestos. More than 30 million t... (read more) Author: Robert Bell

20. Asbestos Removal March 01, 2006 Many buildings hold the presence of carcinogenic Asbestos which was used in thermal system insulation and numerous other materials. Before the ban on "popcorn ceilings" in the United States in 1978, its use was a common practice in the construction of homes. The "popcorn ceiling" is a source of the dangerous Asbestos, and therefore initiates a health need to remove the Asbestos present in the home and get the same verified in a competent laboratory. Asbestos might also be found in homes built as late as 1986, and therefore initiates a need of even their inspection. It is essential to determine... (read more) Author: Jason Gluckman
