INSULATION
Heating and cooling the average American home accounts for 50 to 70% of the energy used in that home.
That's why this year's Al Carrell How-to House was designed and constructed with special attention to energy
efficiency. And that's why Woodland Builders called in Garland Insulating Company to play its vital role in the construction process.
Fighting Mother Nature: Heat flows from warm places to cooler places. It's a law of nature. This means that heated air fights
hard to get out of your house in cold weather and hot air struggles to get inside your air-conditioned house in summer.
The insulating material Garland Insulating Company installed in the How-to House is that home's “front line” in the war
against that movement of hot air.
Garland Brings Out the Big Guns: Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called “R-value,” which indicates
the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulation's effectiveness. Garland's experienced
installers achieved R-values of R13 in exterior walls; R11 in interior sound walls; and a “better-than-building-code” R38 in the attic.
Inadequate or improperly installed insulation allows hot air to “leak” through walls, resulting in energy waste and high utility bills.
Garland Insulating Company's expertly installed insulation systems save energy and money while helping to make the How-to
House house more comfortable by maintaining uniform temperatures throughout the house; keeping walls, ceilings, and floors
warmer in winter and cooler in summer; and acting as sound absorbers that keep noise levels down.
