Cats

Gable End walls

"wood and upvc cladding are both used on gable end walls for some reason" Probably more to do with damp proofing than thermal insulation, gable ends are often problematic walls as far as bringing damp into the house - which will of course make the property feel colder.

Plastic paws have been spotted used as cavity insulation... no really :)

Values

Do you suppose we ought to move the tables of K, R, & U values into a separate article rather than have duplicates, or alternatively consolidate the ones in the Heat loss article here instead? --John Rumm 15:34, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
