Determining The R Value
So what’s ‘R Value Insulation” anyways? In a nutshell, the R value measures resistance to warm air flow. The higher the R value, the thicker the insulation is. When you decide to insulate your home, it’s important to utilize a professional for determining this value. We never just slam you with the highest R Value (R-60) because it may not be what your home needs. Our team of professionals will come out and evaluate your home to see what options are personally best for you. BBBRRRR! Most colder climate homes need a minimum of R-49 in their attic. We recommend anywhere from R-38 to R-60 for our temperamental climates. However, wall insulation and floor insulation can vary greatly. Proper ventilation of a home is always taken into consideration as well as the type of insulation you would like to use. Different insulation materials yield different R values. For example, installing a loose fiberglass can produce an R value from 2.2-2.9. Polyurethane foam can produce an R value of 5.6-8.0!
