Pag* 16- Oouverneur Tribune-Press Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1990 Closets often converted to extra room you need Need a room for your computer, entertainment cen- ter or your child's wort/study oca? More and more people to- day find the space right in their closets. All it takes is a little creative thinking and a unique folding door hardware kit from Johnson Hardware. With the easy-to-install kit, closet doors fold back com- pletely, out of the opening. It's like adding a room with- out getting a building permit. Applicable for remodeling or new construction, Johnson's Full Access Folding Door Hardware en- ables folding doors to fold back 180 degrees and lie flat against the adjoining walls. You get the full access of a swinging door with the space- saving benefits of folding doors. It's a fast way to get more space out of your clos- ets. Home organization experts suggest that you store out-of- season clothing under your bed in special rolling drawers. Use clothing organizers in your other closets and then free up the remaining closets to create the added room space you need The child's work/play area created here shows how easy it is to make closet space work more efficiently. With a few shelves, desk and chair, portable file cabinet and Johnson's Full Access Folding Door Hardware, you're in business. You'll also find this Full Access Folding Door Hardware Kit a practical solu- tion for converting closets into laundry areas, wet bars, toy rooms or even hideaway workbenches. It can also be used on utility rooms, .pantries, wardrobes, anywhere you need more room at the doorway. Installation's a snap, too. The patented jamb hinges re- quire no mortising. They simply attach with screws as do the control arm and panel- connecting hinges. A screwdriver and tape measure are the only tools you'll need for installation. An experienced handyman can mount the hardware and in- stall the doors in about 10 minutes. Johnson's Full Access Folding Door Hardware Kit comes with a lifetime guaran- tee. Each kit contains control arm assembly, hinges and all the necessary mounting hard- ware. The kit can also be used with standard mortise-type butt hinges to match other in- terior doors.

Baby boom energy wasters Is your home Tony something 7 More than 21 million homes were built between 1947-1964 to accommodate the baby boom—and there's a good chance that they need energy-saving home im- provements. \Such improvements as insulating, caulking and weatherstripping can help re- duce your utility bills year- round,\ says Frank Glover of Owens-Corning Fibergias Corporation, a leading manu- facturer of energy-efficient building materials. Key areas to check—to make sure the insulation measures up to the Department of Energy's (DOE) recommended insula- tion levels—are your attic and floors or crawl space walls. \Attics in most homes need R-38 or 12 inches of fiber glass blanket insulation, according to the Department of Energy/' Mr. Glover notes. \And the DOE recom- mends R-19 or 6 inches of fiber glass blanket insulation for crawl spaces, walls or floors for most areas of the country.\ To find out the correct in- sulation recommendation for your area, you can check with your local building material retailer or call Owens- Corning's insulation hotline: 1-800-GET-PINK (1-800- 438-7465). Insulating the attic Mr. Glover also notes that by keeping your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer, insulation decreases the amount of energy you use. When you use less en- ergy, power plants burn less fossil fuel—which helps con- serve the environment and natural resources. \One of the most effective energy-saving projects,\ he adds, \is insulating the attic, and it only costs about $350 for an average 1,000-square foot space using R-25 Attic Blanket® insulation. To install fiber glass blan- ket insulation, you'll need a sharp knife, a straight-edge and a measuring tape. For comfort, wear a mask, a long- sleeved shirt, a pair of work gloves and safety glasses. Fiber glass blanket insula- tion is the most commonly used material for do-it-your- self projects. It comes in R- values of R-19, R-25, R-30, and R-38. To achieve an R- 38—or 12 inches—you can use two layers of R-19 fiber glass blanket insulation. Start by laying a piece of temporary flooring to kneel on while working. If your at- tic already has some insula- tion, add unfaced R-25 Attic Blanket insulation to the ex- isting insulation starting at the outer edges of the attic. If the existing insulation is a few inches below the top of the joists, lay the new in- sulation directly over the old, parallel to the joists. If the joist cavity is already filled, install the new insulation perpendicular to the existing layer. Put in the long runs first, and place the leftovers aside for filling up the smaller spaces later. If you encounter wiring, cut or split the insu- lation to fit underneath it. Make sure to butt each sec- tion of insulation tightly up against the adjacent section for a complete thermal bar- rier. Helpful hints If your attic is without in- sulation, install faced (with the vapor barrier) fiber glass blanket insulation. The facing helps control moisture and should be placed against the warm-in-winter side of the ceiling. To prevent moisture build- up and reduce attic tempera- tures, leave eave vents uncov- ered so air flow is not blocked. As a general rule, one square foot of free vent area should be provided for every 150 square feet of attic floor, when no vapor barrier is used. With a vapor barrier, one square foot of vent area per 300 square feet of attic floor is recommended. Keep insulation a mini- mum of three inches from re- cessed ceiling light fixtures, and use unfaced material in the space between a masonry chimney and wood framing. Crawl spaces and floors To insulate masonry walls in heated crawl spaces, begin by measuring and cutting small pieces of unfaced R-19 fiber glass blanket insulation to fit snugly against the band joists. Then, using long fur- ring strips, nail long blankets of unfaced insulation to the sill or the band joists. Make sure to use enough insulation to cascade down the wall and extend two feet along the ground into the crawl space. Faced insulation (with the vapor barrier) cannot be used because the facing is flammable and should never be left exposed. On walls that run parallel to joists, it is not necessary to cut separate header strips. Simply use longer pieces of insulation nailed directly to the band joists. Finally, lay a polyethylene film over the insulation and the entire floor area. Use bricks or rocks to help hold the insulation in place on the ground. For floors over unheated crawl spaces or basements, install faced R-19 fiber glass blanket insulation between the floor joists with the vapor barrier facing up towards the heated area. To hold insula- tion in place, use metal floor insulation supports. Other energy saving tips In addition to insulating large areas, you should also consider the small details; Seal nooks and crannies with caulk and weatherstripping'. Weatherstripping, which is available as felt strips, foam rubber and flexible vinyl, is easy to install. Apply it around entrance doors, attic doors, inside and outside basement doors and window sashes.
