§ 127. Lieut.-Colonel Sharpasked the Minister of Works whether it is the policy of his Department when placing contracts to have insulating materials for house walls Supplied in standard sizes ready for immediate installation, or to have them supplied in rolls and cut to measure at the time of installation.
§ Mr. TomlinsonInsulating materials are supplied in rolls of varying widths. Where my Department places contracts for such materials they are ordered to the width suitable for the construction and lengths are cut from the roll on site as required.
§ Lieut.-Colonel Sharpasked the Minister of Works what materials it is his policy to recommend or order for the insulation of house walls.
§ Mr. TomlinsonAt present insulating material is used in the walls only of houses of non-traditional construction such as temporary and permanent prefabricated houses. In these cases insulation is obtained by the use of mineral wools in mat form or aluminium foil mounted on waterproofed paper.
