Insulation Enables Entire Home Air Conditioning
University of Illinois studies show a small house with 4 inch mineral wool ceiling insulation and 3 inch wall insulation can save 700 to 900 dollars on air conditioning equipment and reduce operating costs up to seven percent. Insulated homes can run a 2 ton unit economically, while uninsulated homes may need 6 ton. Results varied slightly across seven geographic locations.

Weather's Punch Lands Hardest On Your Roof
Weather impacts roofs in all seasons with sun heat rain and winter ice. Asphalt shingles blend asphalt and stone granules to resist weather and block sun. Stone granules add wear resistance and opacity. Mineral wool insulation can cut heating costs by up to sixty percent when properly installed.

Good Garage Serves Variety of Purposes
Barage which serves merely as an automobile shelter is only doing part ofHs job, home building authorities assert. It should also provide storage area for garden equipment, bicycles, baby carriages, and various bulk materials. Storage units can be installed at the sidewalls and end-walls of a garage or carport. For both appearance and protective purposes, interior walls and ceiling should be finished. A fire-safe material recommended for garage lining is asbestos-cement board.
