How good is an insulation rating of R33?
good in walls, but not enough for attic./ceilings
Is weathering good for the environment?
NO, it is not good for the environment as it can destroy the earth and will reduce the capacity of water. Soil erosion can also led to land becoming barren as the soil slowly erodes away.
Why do houses have brick walls?
Sturdy, cheap, good insulation, long lasting.
Why is plastic foam good at reducing heat loss through walls?
I think it´s becaus the foam is in, principle, a solid with a great quantity of minuscule boubles of air. The heat reducing effect happens thanks to the iar inside the boubles. The material that forms the boubles absorbs a certain amount of heat, and when you apply heat to the exterior, it has to heat the material first then the heat transfer from the material to the air in the bouble. So that effect stacks up subsequently with the next layer of boubles, and the next and so on. Hope I helped you! :-)
Why is foam a good insulator?
It is made if non conducting material and its structure traps air which is an excellent insulator in its own right
How could having foam walls be good for the environment?
They reduce heat loss through the walls, hence you need less fuel (directly or at the power-station) to heat the building and maintain the temperature for a given heat rise and time.
Insulating walls for home?
some foam for inside walls solid styrofoam sheets along with ty-vek on outside seals so good you have to push the front door to get it closed
Why are foam filled cavity walls are better than air filled cavity walls in reducing heat loss?
Foam is a good insulator- this means that it traps still air and prevents heat travelling and being lost. Heat is lost more easily through the air in air-filled cavity walls as the air is not kept still.
How good is spray foam insulation to use on walls?
The best kind of insulation for a wall will depend on if it is an outside or inside wall and what room it will be for. The roll or blanket insulation made of fiberglass will be good enough for most do it yourself jobs.
How does having a water tank help the environment?
good question
What are the benefits of having a good environment?
It gives good, great and sometimes excellent Living Conditions.
Why are foam and fiber glass good heat insulators?
i think it is due to them having air spaces so it takes longer for heat to escape
Why foam is used for insulation?
Foam can be a good insulator because it contains a lot of open gas spaces interrupted by fairly thin walls. The solid portions of the foam prevent much convection (air moving around carrying heat with it). Gas tends to be a lousy heat conductor, so all those air bubbles make the foam a poor conductor of heat - most of the conducted heat has to to travel through the limited solid structure of the foam (not much cross section for conduction).
Is memory foam pillow good for injury prevention?
Yes. Sleeping with a proper therapeutic/memory foam pillow can help to align your spine during sleep. Having the spine properly alligned can help prevent neck and back injury.
Why are foam and air good insulators?
it is
How is a foam coffee cup a good insulator?
The foam contains air, which is a poor conductor of heat.
Why is a foam box a good insulator?
Foam is made of material that a very low level of confuctivity
