No matter what material or form you
select, you should use a vapor barrier
to control moisture. Otherwise, the
water vapor in the warm, moist air
inside the house can seep into the in-
sulation, causing it to loose its effec-
tiveness.

sold in bags and the manufacturer
generally will indicate how many bags
you need to achieve a given R-Value
over a specific area.
Rigid boards are plastics or fibers
pressed into shape. They must be
covered with half-inch gypsum board
or other finishing material for fire
safety. Boards can be used for
basement or foundation walls and offer
a high R-value for relatively little
thickness.
Foam insulation is injected, wet, into
walls or other closed spaces. Installa-
tion is tricky and should be done by a
reputable contractor only. The Na-
tional Burreau of Standards of the
Department of Commerce warns that
there can be problems with shrinkage
and odor. Check your local building
code to make sure any foam you are
considering meets fire safety stan-
dards.
Different types of insulation can be
combined. You can, for example, add
batts over loose fill or vice versa,
R-Values can vary from manufac-
turer to manufacturer, but the Federal
Trade Commission says there are
generally accepted maximum stan-
dards. Be suspicious if you see a claim
for an R-value higher than the ones
listed below:
Rock wool batts and blankets 3.1 to
3.6
Rock wool loose fill 2.7 to 3.2
Fiber glass batts and blankets 2.7 to

Fiber glass loose fill 2.1 to 2.4

Vapor barriers are made of foil,
paper or plastic. Batts and blankets
can be purchased with vapor barriers
— generally silver in color — already
attached to one side. Vapor barriers
for loose fill insulation can be made out
of plastic sheeting available at hard-
ware stores. In places like interior
walls where a separate vapor barrier
cannot be installed, surface areas
should be made water-resistant with
oil-based paint or with wallpaper con-
taining plastic.
In most areas, vapor barriers should
be put on the lived-in side of the space
to be insulated since that is where the
humidity will be.

Cellulose, made from shredded
paper, has a higher R-value than
mineral wool and does not irritate the
skin. It is important, however, to make
sure that the cellulose has been treated
with a fire-retardant to meet federal
standards since improperly-made
cellulose insulation is a fire hazard.
Plastics, made of products like
polyurethane or urea formaldehyde,
offer a high R-value. They are
generally resistant to fire, but if they
do burn, they can give off a toxic gas.
Check local fire regulations before you
start work.
The forms of insulation include rolls
or blankets, batts, loose fill, rigid
boards and foam.
Rolls are best for walls or floors with
studs that are spaced a standard 16
inches or 24 inches apart. Insulation in
rolls is designed for easily accessible
areas which are not blocked by
plumbing or wiring.
Batts are similar to rolls, but they
are cut into four-foot or eight-foot
lengths. They are semi-rigid and, like
the rolls, are best used in easily ac-
cessible areas like unfinished attics
and floors. The batts are slightly
easier to handle than the long rolls, but
both are suitable for do-it-yourself in-
stallation.
Loose fill is useful when you want to
insulate an odd-shaped space or an
enclosed wall cavity that can’t be
reached with rolls or batts. It can be
poured or blown into place; you will
need special equipment if you want to
blow it in. The loose fill has a tendency
to settle after it is installed — a factor
you have to take into account when
deciding how much to add. Loose fill is

GREELEY, Colo. (AP) - The
sothlg ad resiful suunds ui ihe
womb have been recorded by a
Colorado scientist who says he has
developed the first accurate way of
measuring the hearing of a newborn
child
The method ultimately could help
detect brain damage within hours of
birth, says Dr. Ray Hull of the
University of Northern Colorado
The key to the experiment is a tape
recording that to the untrained ear
might sound like waves breaking in a
seaside cavern or high winds rushing
through stands of timber.
But the sounds really are the noises a
new human being should hear before
birth if its hearing is good — the noise
of blood rushing through the placenta,
a sac that contains the fetus and brings
nourishment to the developing child.
“That’s the only sound they have
been familiar with for approximately
three months prior to birth, except
perhaps the sound of their mothers’
voice conducted through her bones to
the womb," Hull said Wednesday.
Hull, director of UNC’s communica-
tions disorders division, said a child’s
ears function by about the sixth month
of pregnancy.
“We avoided heartbeat sounds,
because these vary from mother to
mother," Hull said. “And the placental
sounds are absolutely beautiful. They
are soothing and restful.”
“The problem was how to record
those sounds, and I think we have
solved it," said Hull, who has been as-
sisted in his work by obstetrician
Wayne Livermore and a Ph.D. can-
didate at UNC, Patrick Lawrence.
Two months ago, Hull and Liver-
more modified a sensitive microphone
obtained from the UNC School of
Nursing and used it to record
unusually loud placental sounds in one
of Livermore’s patients.
After five years of frustration, Hull
at last had succeeded in getting the
sounds on tape.
He and Lawrence have tested more
than 60 infants within eight hours after
their birth at Weld County General
Hospital in Greeley.

A lack of insulation could be stand-
ing between you and lower fuel bills.
The Department of Energy says
Americans could cut heating costs by
20 percent to 30 percent if they ins-
talled adequate insulation; in some
areas, attic insulation alone can save
20 cents of every heating dollar.
Shopping for insulation is
complicated, however How much do
you need? What kind should you buy?
Can you do it yourself or do you need
an expert?
You should start with what’s
becoming known as the “Fourth R.”
The “R” stands for resistance and it’s
the key to measuring how well the in-
sulation prevents the flow of heat from
one place to another. Federal regula-
tions taking effect next month require
manufacturers to label all insulation
with the R-Value at any given thick-
ness.
If you have three inches of insulation
with an R-Value of 3 per inch, your to-
tal R-Value is 9.
Remember: Efficiency does not
depend on thickness; two inches of one
type of insulation may have a higher
R-Value than three inches of another
kind.
You have to measure costs against
efficiency. Here’s how: Suppose one
type of insulation has an R-value of 3.2
per inch and costs 10 cents per square
foot. Assume you want to install in-
sulation with a total R-value of 19. You
will need just over 5.9 inches; every
square foot will cost you 59 cents. Now
look at another type of insulation. It
has an R value of 3.7 per inch and costs
11 cents per square foot. You will need
just over 5.1 inches to achieve an R-
value of 19. Your total cost will be just
over 56 cents. In this case, the insula-
tion that seems more expensive is ac-
tually cheaper.
The amount of insulation you need
depends largely on where you live. As
a general rule, however, attic floors
should have insulation with a total R-
Value of between 26 and 38; exterior
walls generally should have an R-
Value of 11 to 13; and basement
ceilings or crawlspaces should have
from R-11 to R-22.
It may be impossible for you to
measure the R-Value of the insulation
you now have in your house, but
government energy specialists say that
if you have six inches or less in the at-
tic, you’re probably under-insulated.
Insulation comes in a variety of
materials and forms. The most com-
mon materials are mineral wool —
which accounts for more than 75 per-
cent of residential insulation, cellulose
fiber and plastic.
Mineral wool insulation, including
fiber glass and rock wool, is relatively
inexpensive and easy to apply. It is fire
resistant and moisture resistant. It can
irritate the skin, however, so it is im-
portant to wear gloves and long-
sleeved clothes when working with any
type of mineral wool.
