Why Does Down Insulate So Well?

FAQ
Down warms without weight. It takes 14 wool blankets to equal the temperature control of one down comforter. Each down cluster traps more air for its weight than any synthetic fiber. Every ounce of down has about two million fluffy filaments that interlock and form a protective layer filled with air that keeps warmth in and cold. Down is wonderfully resilient. You can flatten it and with a good shake it will bounce back to its original loft while providing you with natural warmth.

Why do you call it Rossum's Playhouse?

Frequently Asked Question for The Rossum Project and RP1 Rob...
Rossum's Playhouse is named in honor of Karel Capek's classic science fiction work Rossum's Universal Robots. In 1921, Capek's play introduced the term "Robot" (from the Czech word for "worker"). I also call Rossum's Playhouse "RP1" for short... an acronym which is useful since the full name is, well, a little too playful to be used in some circles. Dennis Jerz sent me a link to his page where he provides more information on the story and history of the play.

WHERE SHOULD I LOCATE MY PLAYHOUSE?

Playhouses, wooden play houses, playhouse FAQ
Ideally your playhouse should have a clear space at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. This ensures easy access for both installation and future maintenance. In reality this is often not practical and at many sites it is not needed. A reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. If the space around your playhouse is restricted remember to allow for any roof overhang. You should also cut back or remove any nearby shrubs and trees. Remember to allow for future growth.

Will it insulate my roof against the heat?

The Hurricane Roof System: Frequently Asked Questions - A Li...
Unlike Asphalt, Cedar, Ribbed Steel and other "flat" roofing materials, Cembrit is corrugated which allows air to circulate under the panel. As the roof heats up in the day, the hot air rises and pumps out through the unique ridge venting system. The eaves are closed with an impregnated foam strip profiled to the tile. This allows the air to flow in; but keeps the birds and the bugs out.

Why should I insulate my home?

Thinksulation - FAQ
Insulation increases the overall comfort of a home and adds to its resale value. It keeps a home cool in the summer and warm in the winter because it resists the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy and always seeks a cooler area. It flows out of the home in the winter and into the home in the summer. By reducing heat flow, a properly insulated home uses less energy for heating and cooling.

HOW CAN DOWN BE SO LIGHT, YET INSULATE SO WELL?

FAQ - Feather & Down
Because of its three dimensional structure and ability to "loft", each down cluster traps more air for its weight than any synthetic. Every ounce of quality down has about 2 million fluffy filaments that interlock and overlap to form a protective layer of still air that keeps warmth in and cold out. Because of its resilience, you can scrunch it up or flatten it out. All it takes is a good shake for it to fluff up and bounce back to the form that keeps you cozy and warm.
