When choosing insulation, you need to determine the overall R-value of the insulation you need for your home. What is R-Value and why does it matter?
What is R-Value:
- Measure of thermal resistance or the ability to prevent the transfer of heat
- The larger the number, the harder that insulation is working at preventing heat conduction
- The less heat loss, the lower your energy bills
How much R-Value should you have:
- Walls should be R-19
- Roofs should be R-30 or R-40
