Renovation Quick Tip:
Do-it-yourself insulation is greener than ever

When renovating, adding rooms, or finishing the basement do take a look at the most advanced materials and methods for energy efficiency. Very popular, for example, is the newest, Nudura Home Insulation Technology, a system for insulating foundation walls, inner and outer walls, as well as flat, or cathedral ceilings. This do-it-yourself product is a shiplap system of expanded polystyrene (EPS), which allows large 4 X 8 foot sheets of foam to be installed without any gaps for air leakage. Take a look in the home owner section of www.nudura.com. It's easy to cut, easy to install, and the performance value is up to R-14. Drywall can then be attached directly to the embedded fastening strip allowing the electrical wiring to be easily run.
