    Insulating your home is important for the comfort of your family during the winter days. 1. Remove sidings. To insulate your home, the first thing that you must do is to remove two courses of siding from the wall. Remove a quarter of the way up the wall and below the ceiling. You can do this on every story of your house. Then nail the siding through the sheathing and into the studs by using the location of the original nails. Put a mark at the center between two studs because you will want to be in the middle of the stud bay. 2. Drill a hole. Drill a hole in the sheathing using a spade bit drill. Make sure you can fit the hose nozzle on the insulation hopper about 1 ½ inches. To see if you are in the right place, stick a coat hanger in the hole and poke around. See if you need to make some adjustment. After making sure you are in the right stud bay, measure 16 inches to each side of the hole. Do this for the rest across the hall which should give you the center of each consecutive bay. Then drill two holes on each stud bays on the top and on the bottom course siding. 3. Fill the hopper with insulation. After filling up the hopper with insulation, turn it on and start filling the lower insulation. The machine will start to whine indicating that that portion is full. Pull out the nozzle then repeat the same process on the top. 4. Cover the holes. After you filled all the bays with insulation cover the holes using a small patch of adhesive backed flashing tape. Then nail your siding back into place. If you run into a blocking between the stud bays, it is best if you have an inspection camera with a light to see into the holes. You need to determine where these blockings are in order for the insulation to pass through. 5. Foil-coated plastic panels. The plastic panels used in insulation are usually filled with low-conductivity gases such as argon or krypton. Their R-values ranges from 5 to 11 at 1.5inch thickness. 6. What is silica aerogel? This is a lightweight and translucent material that comes in granules. This is used to fill up glazing panels and can provide up to R-values up to 20. Silica Aerogel is known to builders, architects, and Insulation Industries especially those who rely on technology for their windows panels and walls. 7. What are vacuum insulation panels? This insulation material is similar to insulation on Thermos bottle. It is a 1-inch thick panel that provides R-25 or higher. It was showcased as insulation for Team Germany’s winning entry in 2009 Solar Decathlon and may be soon used to insulate home appliances. 8. What is Foamglas? This insulation material is 100% waterproof. It is an inorganic, high-compressive-strength insulation that is manufactured with up to 66% recycled glass from automobile windscreens and old windows. 9. Wool This insulation material is an all-natural and inherently fire-retardant material. It comes in a loose-fill formulation that is blown into the wall cavity and held together by drywall or mesh. 10. Cotton This is an insulation material that can now be found in 100% post-consumer recycled formulations. It doesn’t have formaldehyde or VOCs and in R-values up to 30. source: https://www.sprayinsulationindustries.com/insulate-older-homes-modern-technology-infographic/
