Key Details About Standard R-Value Insulation Materials

What are R-values ? In construction, the R-value is the measurement of a material's capacity to resist heat flow from one side to the other. In simple terms, R-values measure the effectiveness of insulation and a higher number represents more effective insulation . R-values are additive. For instance if you have a material with an R-value of 12 attached to another material with an R-value of 3 ...

When comparing the thermal resistance of insulation materials , you have to compare R-values per inch of thickness. That means that the insulation R-value chart you will find below is basically an insulation thickness chart, based on 1 inch of insulation . Example: Fiberglass batt has a typical R-value of R-3.7 per inch of thickness. That means that if we were to use 4-inch fiberglass batts, the ...
