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 used the Icynene® Insulation System for higher energy efficiency without having to compromise the design.

The Icynene® Insulation System expands to 100 times is initial volume in seconds. It seals all cavities, crevices and voids to deliver a perfect fit for walls, attics, ceilings and floors. It is the ideal material for complex designs such as cathedral ceilings, domed ceilings, arches and other unusual shapes.

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 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.
