All of them do some good, and most homeowners can save up to 50 percent of the fuel bill during the heating season by beefing up the insulation in just an attic floor, according to Edison Electric Institute. The percentage of savings, of course, will depend on how much insulation there was to begin with, the dimensions of the rooms, the general tight­ ness of the home and the heating rates. You'll also notice that your house is cooler in summer and quieter all year- round when you add insulation if your house was sorely lacking it. The materials available are several basic forms: batts or blankets; loose fill or * granulated; foams; rigid in­ sulation boards and reflective insulation. You can combine any of them to get the degree of insulation you want. Here are the various types that you can get: Batts or blankets--the most popular with homeowners. This type of insulation generally consists of a mineral or glass wool or wood fiber encased in paper. Batts generally are cut into four or eight-foot lengths, vary in thickness from two to twelve inches and come in standard widths to fit between joist or rafter spaces of 16 to 24 inches. Less easy to handle are blankets which are sold in rolls. They come 15 to 23 inches wide in varying lengths and thicknesses of from one to seven inches. You just lay either the batts or blankets in the spaces under floors or staple them to walls and raf­ ters. Batts and blankets are available with and without a facing of foil, polyethylene or some other material that serves as a vapor barrier. Insualtion installed in new homes or additions should have such a barrier on the side of the insulation, that is toward the warm area being insulated. Without the barrier, moisture from the house air may ORTHO 24-4-8 LAWN FOOD 99 20 LBS. 5,000 SQ. FT. REG. 7.49 SAVE NOW ON FALL LAWN CARE PRODUCTS! 40 LBS. 10,000 SQ. FT.

If it does, moisture can be trapped between the two vapor barriers. If you already have a mound of foil-backed batts, you can salvage them, ironically, by slashing the foil with a knife and then installing them slashed-side down on top of did insulation. A couple of coats of vapor-resistant paint (xi your inside walls or a sheet of polyethylene sheetiag over the insulation serve pretty well as a vapor barrier, too, according to the National Mineral Wool Insulation Association, Inc. The association also advises on the^nonvapor^barrier side once you have the insulation. Loose fill or granulated insulation--generally consists of material such as mineral wool, vermiculite or treated cellulose fiber. You can buy some kinds in bags and pour it between partitions or under an attic floor where the area is not exposed enough to allow you to put up batts or blankets. Insulation contractors also install the loose types with special blowers by removing selected boards or bricks on the outside of your house and drilling holes top and bottom in walls. Foam insulation--installed by contractors in wall cavities and unfinished attic floors. It is more expensive than blown-in materials but provides better insulation. There are several foam insulation projects on the market such as urae- formaldehyde, polyure thane and polystyrene. Urea- formaldehyde is the wily one that has low flammability and doesn't emit gases under fire conditions. The others should be used only under the following circumstances according to the Federal Energy administration: "(xi inside walls if covered by plastic (X* gypsum board; inside masonry cavity walls which are properly fire protected; outside concrete, masonry or wood-frame walls and under concrete floor slabs." Rigid insulation boards-- usually made of foamed plastic or foamed glass and can be used as a wall finish if you are paneling a room or putting up an addition. Reflective insulation--made from foils which slow the flow of infrared heat rays passing across an air space. In order to be effective they must be installed with the foil surface facing an air space of at least three-quarters of an inch.
