Home Owners

Find Ways

To Conserve Scarce Fuel

By VIRGINIA HATFIELD

There’s a joke commonly told by insulation experts about the man who when asked if he intended to have insulation in his hotise, replied indignately, “Certainly! Do you think I'm going put all that wiring in there bare?” Fifteen years ago that was about the best example of the average home owner’s understanding of insulation, experts could offer. In those days insulation was a luxury and its values were not known to the public. Then came a revolution in the thinking of home-owners and builders. The depression forced most people to really live in their homes. They began to seek economy in fuel bills. They realized they couldn't afford to heat all outdoors, so they

Now the war, bringing fuel oil rationing and difficulties in trans-

ing more people to turn to "methods

of insulation to protect themselves s from Jack Frost. Force is the word,

too. . The government issues pamphlets daily stressing the importance of reducing fuel needs by installing insulation, weatherstripping and storm windows and doors.

Extend Exemption

In order to facilitate fuel-saving measures of this type, the war production board recently extended until Jan. 1, 1944, their exemption from conservation order L-41, The primary purpose of insulation is to minimize the transfer of heat through the walls and roof of a house. In the winter that means keeping the heat in and in the summer, keeping it out. All types of insulating materials are designed to prevent the transfer of heat. How much heat can’ I save by insulation? That’s the first question that might pop into the homeowner’s mind. Figures show that up to 65 per cent of the total heat loss may be saved by complete

| insulation. Imagine the fuel waste

eliminated and the money saved. Every dollar spent for insulation

_| then brings rich dividends.

* Expert Is Needed

When convinced that insulation is an investment that brings returns both in money value and in comfort, the question next asked is “What type of insulation is best adapted to the requirements of my home?” That is where an insulation expert is invaluable. Almost any company selling insulation has trained representatives who will inspect a home to determine where the insulation will do the most good. - ‘ Selection depends upon ber of conditions—whether the insulation is to be placed in an ex-

whether comfort is the first consideration, | etic. A wide variety of insulating prod-

and approximately four inches thick. Practically all ofl the work is done from the outside pf the house. It does not inconveinience the occupants and does not disfigure the home. ' Within rock wool and similar products will serve to aid the distribution of heat and keep ‘the house fireproof. Three additional kinds of insulatioin products are the quilt and bat type, the board type and reflective insulation. 'A reliable - company will install the kind best suited to the pocketbook aid needs of the home owner. Along with insulation, weatherstripping is another installation which aids in cofserving heat in winter and keepirlg it out in the summer. No maatter how well the walls and roof of a house are protected by insulation, comfort cannot be assured if air currents come sailing in via windows, .

Keeps Out Dirt

Without weatherstripping and storm windows, th¢ amount of air which enters around each window is equal to that which would be let in if one brick were left out of the house. Thus, with 22 windows, the air flowing into the house would be the sam¢ as that which would enter if 22 bricks were left out of the construction. A sizable gap, that. “Modern weatherstripping is designed to form a contimious watertight and wind-tight lock around all “doors and windows and along the cross-bar of dquble-hung windows, Commonly, jit is of the interlocking, tongue-and-groove variety, although certain types employ a twin ribbon of fpring metal to seal the crack. |nstallation requires that doors and windows be removed from their frames.” Among advantages gained by weatherstripping arg a 15 to 20 per cent fuel saving, elimination of drafts, elimination of rattling and sticking of windows and protection, from dust, soot sand dirt which would ‘normally filter in through window cracks. All are boons to

any home-owner.

If your home is {minsulated and you doubt that murh heat escapes from it, go outdoors the next time it snows and look at the roofs of homes in your neighborhood. You can bet that if the snow melts rapidly as it touches a roof, the house is not insulated. Snow will remain on the roof of an insulated home indefinitely. That snow blanket is the sign of an intelligent and economical home-owner.

Home Repairing

R. EARL PETERS, FHA state

| director, today urged home own-

ers to keep their homes in sound repair, providing decent standards of sanitation and health. “For the great majority of American families,” he said, “existing properties represent the only housing that will be available for the duration.” _ . The best method for protecting these properties is to give immediate attention to all essential re-

pairs, regardless of how small or unimportant they may appear, Peters said. When undertaken promptly, work of this kind usually requires the outlay of compartatively small sums, but when permitted to go unattended, even the smallest job may entail an expensive repair bill, he said. Under the war, “production board’s construction conservation order L-41, maintenance and essential repairs that do not change structural design are permitted without authorization, provided the work does not involve the purchase of critical materials,
