Today's furniture shoppers consider many other factors when buying furniture other than color or fabric. Furniture construction, fabric wearability and design are key considerations. With Trillium Award winners, these factors are guaranteed. Record numbers of home- owners are overcoming the high cost of home heating by . insulating their attics. How- ever, when undertaking this simple home improvement, do-it-yourselfers should re- call that most accidents hap- pen in the home, To insure a safe, efficient and trouble- free job, insulation experts at the CertainTeed Home Institute offer these sugges- tions: - 1. Provide good lighting. Athics are full of tittle hazards which could be- come more dangerous in dim lighting. These include protruding nails, uneven flooring and low ceilings. Adequate lighting can pre- clude a false step or mis- placed hand. 2. Weur gloves. Most retrofitting is done in older homes where the joists and trusses ure often badly splintered. However, the risk of splinters exists in newer homes as well. A heavy pair of gloves pro- tects against minor hand in- Jury. 3, Make a walkway. Many attics are partially or entirely unfloored. Since the ceiling will not support the weight of even a slightly built person, the homeown- er should span several joists with heavy plywood sheets or boards. This provides a stable work platform which can easily be shifted from location to location. 4. Be fire-conscious. Treat electrical wiring with care.
