I am a restoration contractor and my home is also a block home with the appearance of a stick built design. Our blocks are a kiln fired glazed block with a twin flute.

Is there a way to insulate from the inside w/o gutting all of the wood lathe and mortar? If there is, what are my options? I have knob...

There is really no way to get a high R value without trapping air (or by using a vacuum space, ideally). These Painted on insulation materials have been on the market for years. While they may help to block radiant heating and cooling, since they consist of such a thin film, they cannot provide a go...

Please look into blown in insulation before doing it. It is not recomended for old house because there is no vapor barrier for the walls to breath. It could turn into a nightmare of wood rot, paint not holding up etc. Check with your local historical society etc. There is only one way to insulate a ...

We live in a home finished in 1920. Among the unique features of this house is what we believe was either a sleeping porch or possibly a room designed as a way to treat tuberculosis. The room is located on the west side of the house and is all double hung divided glass windows on three sides. The si...
