Is bubble wrap or dish foam better?

• <div><p>Bubble wrap is better for moving since it can be cut to size, whereas dish foam comes in precut sheets that are harder to manipulate. However, if you’re packing items like dishes, wine glasses, picture frames, or mirrors, dish foam will protect them better. Ensure you measure your box beforehand so you know what size dish foam to purchase. </p></div>

Q: Where should you not put insulation in the attic?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t install insulation near water heaters, oil burners, or any other object that gets hot. Many insulation materials are fire-resistant, but not entirely fire-proof, so you should take precautions to keep hot things away from fiberglass. This is also why it is imperative to box off lighting fixtures and breaker boxes.</p></div>

Q: What is the thickest insulation I can put in a 2x4 wall?

• <div><p>2x4 walls can hold R-13 or R-15 batts of insulation, which is usually about 3.5 inches thick. You should also check with your local building codes to see if there&rsquo;s a required thickness you need to adhere to. </p><p>You can also use R-value maps to determine the best thickness and ratings for where you live. For example, someone in Texas doesn&rsquo;t need as thick of insulation as someone in Montana. <a href="https://www.energystar.gov/saveathome/seal_insulate/identify_problems_you_want_fix/diy_checks_inspections/insulation_r_values">Energy Star</a> has a good one you can reference.</p></div>

Q: How do you insulate a stone house?

• <div><p>Insulating a stone house is an expensive and involved process because it requires building a double-walled house. The walls don&rsquo;t need to be the same thickness, but they both need to be thick enough to handle any structural demands and meet fire and safety standards. The insulation (usually foam or fiberglass) is then installed between the two stone walls. </p></div>

Q: Do metal roofs insulate better than shingle roofs?

• <div><p>Asphalt roofs provide better insulation than metal roofs, but that doesn&rsquo;t always mean that asphalt roofs are better for reducing heating and cooling bills. In hotter climates, metal roofs will usually be better for home efficiency because the material reflects more sunlight and reduces solar heat gain. In colder climates, asphalt roofs are sometimes superior in terms of efficiency because they introduce more solar heat gain to your home and have greater insulating capabilities. However, metal roofs installed with an air gap can provide similar levels of insulation.</p></div>
