Yes. We insulate existing walls by drilling a small hole (about the size of a quarter) through the exterior or interior of the wall, filling the wall with blown-in insulation product (either cellulose or fiberlass), and patching and priming each hole to reduce visibility.

Answer: Insulate the floor if the building is up on stilts and adding walls to close in below is impossible. This requires that you protect pipes and drains below the floor level. If you can close in the area under the building, insulating the walls will have the following advantages: Costs less to do - usually fewer sq. feet, easier to install, and eliminates having to insulate the mechanical systems.

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. See similar questions...

Both ways of insulating (inside and outside) have different advantages and disadvantages. We recommend insulating basement walls from the outside if possible. This method of insulating is more difficult to do but does save space inside the house. Insulating basement walls from the inside is very common as well though, and is generally a less expensive way to provide thermal protection. See similar questions...

The importance of basement insulation depends on whether the basement is heated. If you heat your basement, or if your furnace or other sources of heat are in the basement, you should insulate the basement walls to contain the heat. If not, you should insulate the basement ceiling to reduce heat loss to the basement and keep your floors warmer. See similar questions...

We typically only need to remove one row of siding to access the wall cavities. We carefully remove a row of siding and drill a hole in each stud bay. We insert a tube into these holes and blow cellulose insulation at high density into the bays. This is known as the dense-pack method. Not only does this increase the thermal resistance of the wall, but it creates a better air barrier against unwanted air exchange between inside and out. See similar questions...

Well, there's loads of ordinary clipart already out there in the world that people can buy and use, but it's not mine and it's pretty ordinary. I like having people see and use my work. And if they appreciate it, I'm glad to let them use it for free... non-commercially of course. See similar questions...

No. In most cases it is only soil or building block mineral content leaching through as an effervescence. See similar questions...

The sink and shower walls are covered with a moisture resistant wallboard. Inside the shower the finished walls have pre-moulded shelves for toiletries. All surfaces are designed to be easy to clean. It's a vitreous china low-flow (1.6 gallon) standard toilet with a great track record. We can also install a 'high mount' toilet which is easier on the knees. See similar questions...

We take our commitments to our customers VERY seriously; there is no way that we would take advantage of anyone kind enough to place an order with us. We want you to come back here again and again! Of course, that's just our word for it - if that's not enough, just look at our guestbook! And no, before you ask Mr/Mrs Doubting Thomas, we didn't make all the entries in it ourselves. We've got better things to do; like making clothes for people who actually order from us! See similar questions...

The sound of the waveriders djembe is magical. We spent five years creating BioCell to match the tones of the master crafted West African djembes, and we have been successful. The hemp plant has a mystical warm tone that is better than the endangered hardwood it replaces. See similar questions...

Hey, this isn't entirely an altruistic act. As I said, I'm trying to edify the people who think they know something and don't, and I'm also trying to improve the lag and loss of the games I play in. Plus, imagine how much fun it will be to answer questions with: "See my FAQ, http...". But seriously folks, what you can do for me is just point people to this FAQ, especially the kind of person who asks questions of the world at large. See similar questions...

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! See similar questions...

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.

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...
