 One ounce has the surface area of

10 football fields

 It is the lightest existing solid

material

 It is an excellent thermal insulator

because it is mostly trapped air

 Essentially made of sand

 Can be applied anywhere in attic space of house  Keeps heat out in summer, warmth in during winter  Usually made of aluminum

 Transform the sun’s energy into useable electricity to power your home!  Receive rebates from the government for installing them!
