Today, there is no denying the impact that modern society has on the environment. The tendency to an energy-intensive lifestyle harvest damage on a global scale. If
you really affects the power consumption of your household, and are
looking for affordable ways to look for a smaller carbon footprint, it
can be useful to explore how to better insulate your house with green
material.
Most people are aware that home insulation is inherently green as it helps to save energy. By minimizing the heat transfer, it is to use less of a need for heating and air conditioning, thereby reducing energy consumption. The problem with most materials are used to insulate a home is that they are considered potentially toxic and difficult to dispose of. Green home involves the use of insulation materials that are either non-toxic, made of natural sources or recycled materials. There are a number of interesting and meaningful alternatives to regular insulation.
Recycled denim may not immediately come to mind when thinking. Than insulating your walls and attic, but there is a material that is used for this purpose Old jeans are not required, the material is actually scraps left over from the manufacturing process. It's a great way to what else has been thrown away to find a use for that.
Wool is another option that is both renewable and natural. In fact. Wool has always been used to insulate buildings. Although it is flame retardant, they can be prone to pest infestation. To avoid this problem, wool with a substance that acts as a deterrent to insects should be treated.
Another interesting material that can be used is cellulose and mainly in the form of recycled newspaper. Cellulose is a good option as it is available widely, is affordable and has excellent insulation properties. If you use recycled paper, make sure that the material to make in such a way has been treated fireproof.
When comparing green insulation materials, it is important to study the R value of each option. This is a measurement of the resistance to heat flow. Most of the material from R-1 to R-60 rated, with the higher values is the most efficient. The R-value of fiberglass, wool and cellulose are actually quite similar. If the selection of a material with a low value, it would be necessary to have a greater depth in order to achieve the desired results....
