For example, the 2x6 wall studs used on so many residential jobs are overkill from the standpoint of supporting the weight of the building. The real reason for using them is that they provide stud bays deep enough to accommodate r-19 fiberglass bars. Because the r-value of low-density foam is comparable to that of fiberglass, the framing requirements are also similar.
| Home Insulation Facts A blanket over the hot-water heater can save plenty (your electric utility company may install it free). We have thick, old, wooden doors and well-insulated wooden doors (combination storm/screen) at the entries. If you notice any condensation after you have insulated, track down the likely ventilation problem, and provide the necessary air flow only where you need it, using mechanical extract fans in bathrooms and kitchens, vents or ducted air to any combustion with a controlled flue, trickle vents at windows, and proprietary vents in clapboard, tiles, eaves, and underfloor brickwork.
