Permanent Bench Attracts Visitors Permanent wood benches set at comfortable intervals around wood patio decks seem to be as much used as occasional lounge chairs which can be moved about. There seems to be a tendency, one housewife pointed out, to arrange casual chairs so that they form a conversation center around one or more of these permanent benches. The more attractively they are designed, this lady continued, the more they seem to attract people. Also, comfort is a big item, so rounded edges on the seats and a gently reclining back really prove popular. Probably the most popular wood is Douglas fir, because it is tough and long wearing and it can be smooth edged to eliminate splinters. M| fetfesl ,‘r.

INSULATION PAYS OFF I IN COMFORT, SAVINGS ON HEATING, COOLING

Adequate insulation is one of the soundest investments a family can make in a house. It pays off in generous dividends — in tower heating and cooling costs, as well as in added comfort for the life of the house. r Just how much a family will save on cooling and heating bills will vary, but it’s not unusual to save 30 per cent after boosting insulation to meet recommended standards. “ Insulating materials are made of mineral wool, rock, glass or slag, paper pulp, gypsum, asbestos. cork, aluminum foils, vermiculite, cotton and other vegetable arid mineral matter. Follow Insulating Guides The Federal Housing administration has established minimum insulation standards for both heating and air conditioning. A good guide for families planning to insulate their homes with mineral wool is the recommendations to the National Mineral Wool Institute. These call for mineral wool with an installled resistance to heat flow of R-19 or 24 in ceilings. R-ll in walls and R-13 in floors over unheated space. The “R” number represents the rated ability of installed insulation to block the flow of heat. The higher the “R” number, the more effective the insulation. A batt and a blanket of insulating material are essentially the same, differing only in length. A blanket is sold in rollls up to 100 feet long, while batts are usually made up in either four or eight-foot lengths. Both are available in widths to fit standard spacings between wall studs and ceiling joists Most batts and blankets have an attached vapor barrier on one side. Many are totally enclosed, with a vapor barrier on one side and a vapor-permeable material on the other. They are also available with a backing of aluminum foil designed to reflect radiated heat. In existing homes, where wall studs are not accessible, a form of mineral wool called “blowing” wool is used. This is especially made to be blown through a pneumatic hose FOR CONVENIENCE Good landscaping design streses convenience and the family’s wants and needs. 1 * ■ « scone are thie days when ceilings were the forgolten stepchildren of interior decoration.

into the spaces between wall 1 studs. Pouring insulating material is often used to insulate ceilings packaging in bags and is most where joists are exposed in the attic. Installing insulation in a new room addition or as part of an attic remodeling job can be tackled successfully by the average do-it-yourselfer. The only tools required are a sharp knife and a heavy-duty staple gun, which usually can be rented. To Keep In Mind Here are a few points to keep in mind: 1. Always follow the individual manufacturer’s directions carefully. — 2. When using batts or blankets, make sure the vapor barrier faces the heated side of the room. 3. Butt insulation together tightly. There should be no gaps to permit loss of heat. 4 Don’t cover eaves, vents or attic louvers. Air circulation is important, year round. 5. Place staples no more than six inches apart. 6. Pack insulation into small space around window and door framing. Cut a separate piece of vapor barrier to cover these areas to form unbroken protection. 7. To protect water pipes from freezing, fit insulation between them and outside wall sheathing. A separate piece of vapor barrier should be applied on the room side of pipes.
