You use less fuel and consequently save money (from 25 to 50 per cent of your annual heating-cooling bill). and your home will feel more comfortable all year round.

Batt and Blanket insulation is made from fibres of glass, rock or slag and has a soft wooly texture. The batts are sold in bundles with a varying number of 4-foot pieces (dependent on thickness) cut to a standard joist width. In lengths over 4 feet. this type of insulation is referred to as a blanket. Batt and blanket inâ€" sulation can be used in ceilings, walls, under floors and in crawl spaces or garages. Before purchasing batt or blanket insulation, measure the distance between the joists to determine the proper width to purchase.
