vvrvVr Insulation explained through demonstration If energy conservation and saving money are serious c0n eerns to homeowners equal consideration must be given to insulation This is the message represen tatives of Simcoe Insulation Specialties Ltd in Barrie are attempting to relay during week of seminars and displays in the Bayfield Mall Brian Allen company presi dent told the handful of people present Tuesday afternoon in cluding Fire Chief Jack McAllister that his firm is con ducting the seminars to in crease the publics awareness of the need for insulation The average homeowner has no chance to know whats going on he said in reference to the complexities of the in sulation business For that reason his firm is becoming more aggressive in explaining itself He also warned against in sulation companies whose pro duct is not up to standard and said people can protect themselves against these disreputable firms by taking precautions Be sure the insulation for sale is government approved with Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation number Ask the salesperson for his certificate of registration under the Consumer Protection Act document required by all itinerant salespeople Look for table on the bag of insulation indicating exactly how much insulation is re quired for the amount of space to be filled Do not allow insulation to cover vents or heat sources such as light fixtures Ensure adequate clearance of chimney areas and moisture control Find out the length of time the company being dealt with has been in business as way of stablishing its credibility The display setup in the mall shows different types of insulation on the market ver miculite blown fibreglass rockwool and cellulose fibre The amount of insulation in stalled in home depends on the heat loss resistance value Rvaluel of the product used The higher the number the bet ter the insulation The provincial government recommends minimum of R32 in each home According to Simcoe Insulations display less cellulose fibre is needed to fill the requirement than any of the other types of insulation Brian LaGalais company employee said three years ago the insulation business boomed then several companies began installing substandard insul tion giving the entire industry bad name LaGalais said business is still suffering the ef fects of the bad publicity the firms generated People are
