Time to insulate your home or business? Then it’s time to consider the type of insulation you need. R-Value is a common term you will hear. R-Value does not measure heat movement carried in the air, but how well a particular insulation resists heat flow. R-Value is typically measured per inch.
It is important to note that thicker insulation, or insulation that has a high R-Value, doesn’t necessarily mean that your home will have better insulation. Traditional types of insulation offer R-Value that relates solely to insulating power, so you may actually continue to have higher-than-average heating and cooling bills. That’s why you should consider spray-in foam as an alternative when choosing insulation.
