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.

Gymnema sylvestre: A well-known and highly respected Ayurvedic remedy which is also known as the 'sugar killer' as it is said to reduce cravings for sweet foods. Gymnema Sylvestre has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat diabetes for many centuries and can improve blood sugar control, thereby reducing the need for insulin and hypoglycemic medication.

R Value - the measurement of 'insulating ability' of the material. The higher the R Factor number the greater the insulation value. U Value - the measurement of 'heat loss' through the material. The lower the U Value the less heat is escaping.

Insulate Plus is an effective safe and natural herbal remedy that assists in the control and treatment of diabetes. Insulate Plus balances blood sugar levels, thereby reducing or removing the need for insulin or hypoglycemic medication. Furthermore, it reduces cravings for sweet foods; improves circulation, especially to the feet and hands and improves blood flow to optic nerves to prevent diabetes-related eye diseases.

We most frequently use rolled reflective foil insulation. It is easy to install, reduces condensation, reduces inside heat gain, and gives a clean and washable finish. Other insulation types are available upon request. These may be discussed with your building specialist.

No. It's actually a little easier because you can stand right up in the second floor to install insulation....and, depending on the size barn you're building, you can get up to R-90 between the trusses!

All Summer sheds can be easily insulated. Inexpensive polystyrene or fibreglass insulation can be easily fitted between the framing members. The insulation is retained by cross battens which also support the lining boards. Wood effect veneered wallboard is a popular lining but plywood and tongued and grooved cladding are also suitable.

All Summer summerhouses can be easily insulated. Inexpensive polystyrene or fibreglass insulation can be easily fitted between the framing members. The insulation is retained by cross battens which also support the lining boards. Wood effect veneered wallboard is a popular lining but plywood and tongued and grooved cladding are also suitable.

A 6.5" SIP has 5 ½" of foam and provides an R Value of R-23 COMPARED TO a 2x6 dimensional framed wall assembly which provides a system value of R-14 due to thermal bridging at stud locations at 24" o.c.

Greenhouses with polycarbonate glazing provide better insulation than greenhouses glazed with glass. Inexpensive bubble insulation can be easily fitted to the greenhouse frame. Heaters are also available. Selected greenhouses are available with internal partitions to provide for warm areas. Selected greenhouses are available with shading kits to protect plants from scorching.

All Summer playhouses can be easily insulated. Inexpensive polystyrene or fibreglass insulation can be easily fitted between the framing members. The insulation is retained by cross battens which also support the lining boards. Wood effect veneered wallboard is a popular lining but plywood and tongued and grooved cladding are also suitable.

Yes. All of our buildings can be insulated to whatever value you want. Most people insulate the floor and ceilings when they get their kit and then stop there. Some people choose to insulate the walls as well because they plan to stay in their place in winter as well. The choice is yours but we can help you with that. Many of our buildings are what we call "3 season" buildings. They are only used in Spring, Summer, and Fall. Therefore they don't need a lot of insulation.

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.

Yes, it is always a good practice to conserve energy and it is typically required to prevent excessive heat transfer from the valve to the actuator. Yes. Be sure the override shaft is pushed completely down and use a 7/16" wrench to turn the actuator.

Insulating means lining your “thermal envelope” - floors, walls, ceilings and ductwork - with materials that don’t readily allow heat to pass through. This will save energy by keeping heat in during the winter and keeping heat out during the summer. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation. Insulations ability to stop the flow of heat is measured by its R-value. The higher the R-value, the more effective it is.

Our concrete garages can be easily lined and insulated using specially designed and inexpensive lining clips. Our wooden garages can be easily insulated with inexpensive polystyrene or fibreglass insulation fitted between the framing members. The insulation is retained by cross battens which also support the lining boards. Wood effect veneered wallboard is a popular lining but plywood and tongued and grooved cladding are also suitable.

We insulate our packages from May 1st to October 1st. Some of our products will be taken off the site during these months because they are to difficult to insulate. If you receive your package and the chocolates have melted and deformed, then contact us and we will make arrangements for you to ship us the old package and for us to ship you a new one. If the chocolates are soft, you just need to let them sit at room temperature for a little while and they will harden again.

You may need to ask that question of an engineer. There are different grades of polystyrene. The concrete will tend to spread out the weight of the heavy load. Polystyrene is able to withstand the weight of 3 feet of earth without problems. You can place insulation at the perimeter instead.

YES. The floor and walls are a significant source of heat loss. An insulated floor is warmer and drier; and it has direct influence on your comfort. Putting carpets on a floor only makes it feel warmer. If you have a heated floor insulation is very much necessary, as the heat loss through the floor would be higher than 50%. This heat loss is a huge and unnecessary waste of money. Return on investment for floor insulation is very quick, mainly because of the low cost of INSTA-PANELS®.
