Comfort

Of Homes

(Montreal Star)

A recent research report on the dpyclopmcnt of home-building dur- ing the past 20 years shows that thcre is scarcely any ifldllfilfv starting two decades 88° $11115 h“ siioiru greater progress in design, durability, eificien and structure methods.

SpflCB for relaxation, such as re- creation rooms in the basement, and sleeping porches to promote hcaltli and comfort, are considered ln ovcry well-designed house. Win- dows are carefully weather-strip- pi-d, walls and ceilings are wash- (lbip and insulated to give oooness in summer and warmth in winter. hlochunicfll equipment in homes of totiuy would have astounded urban (“rollers of a quarter-century ago

The unsightly alley has lflfgcll’

1W1‘. and gradually it has moved up and attached itself to the house, sometimes at the side, sometimes underneath.

The front porch has been driven around to the side by the intense automobile traffic, for greater privacy, and in some cases it hll completed a half-circle and finds itself in the rear in intimate rela- tion to the garden side of the house.

The damp and stuffiy basement, which was the catch all storage dump for the entire household, has become one of the most serviceable Darts of the house. The waterproof basement is well-lighted, clean and airy. Workshops for the child, re- creation rooms, playrooms or ping- pong and card-rooms have become as desirable in the basement as in any other part of the house.

With all this advancement, the individuality or personality of the house has not been sacrificed, the report points out. In the commer-

zoue in cell-planned areas; offen- sive stables disappeared with the pilfifillig‘ of the faithful horse as a moans of personal transportation. The garage took its place at the

cial and apartment field and in scientific management, remodelling and modernizing of structures and equipment manufacturers - and realtors are making great strides.

In the winter. these houses are

hard to heat evenly, even with lavish expenditure o1’ fuel. Some of the rooms, for apparently strange reasons. stay cold and un- comfortable. Cold draughfs sweep through the house.

Now, the reason for all this dis- comfort wih\*r and summer is that these houses are not properly built- Pracugglly every Ofie i5 built With a min layer or lath and plaster over the ceillng—-thcn the air in the attic-then ‘the roof.

Today new homes are being pro- perly insulated for real comfort. while thousands or homes. flrofldy built. of various ages, are being made comfortable by the same method.

This method is filling the heat- lcaklng empty spaces with in- sulation. Once those empty span." are filled with the right IIISUIBIIII’ material the old discomforts van- ish. “The comfort of home" mean»
