Also these biscuits were used in the attic to prevent heat transfer through the roof. A ""Dutch Biscuit"" was made by wrapping straw and mud around a piece of wood about four inches wide and one inch thick; the ends of this wood were installed in grooves prepared for them The effectiveness of this type insulation has been proven for the last hundred forty years, [as] the houses are very easy to heat and to air condition."
