A flame-retardant coating usually makes this possible, but there are some insulating materials that are inherently flame-retardant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the placement of insulation, if a fire were to occur, it would act similarly to tinder in a campfire (easier to ignite and spread). The widespread material connecting wooden parts of the home would spread the fire quickly and make a house fire much deadlier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulation must, therefore, have a certain flame-spread index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If moving blankets were used for the purpose of insulation, this could create a deadly situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving blankets are not fire-proofed. Even worse, they are made of cotton and polyester, materials that are both flammable.

Even if they aren&rsquo;t the best insulators, cotton and polyester can act as insulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their structures allow for air molecules to get trapped within the fabric fibers. Because air is a poor conductor of heat, the fabric&rsquo;s thermal conductivity lowers and its R-value increases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/mrjoneslhsscience.weebly.com\/uploads\/1\/2\/3\/6\/12361361\/research_paper_-_google_docs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this study<\/a>, cotton is a slightly better insulator than polyester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In theory, if a moving blanket had more cotton than polyester, its thermal conductivity would lower and its R-value would increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, cotton is known as a breathable fabric so it can&rsquo;t be that good of an insulator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the blend of materials was changed so that the R-value was maximized, a moving blanket will not be as effective as a standard insulation material.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving blankets can, however, be used as a heat-retention material in a room that tends to be too cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Moving Blankets to Conserve Heat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s say that you have moving blankets left over from a move and you&rsquo;d like to put them to use in your cold house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can be placed under carpeting to prevent excess heat from being lost if you find that your floor is often cold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving blankets can also be placed on walls or even ceilings to add a bit of extra insulation in a room whose walls are often cold to the touch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you can secure the blanket&rsquo;s weight well enough, a moving blanket can be used to enhance insulation in your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some problems with these quick fixes, though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is more aesthetic-based.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving blankets are often very plain since they are made for practical use rather than to be pleasing to the eyes.
