What is R-Value?

Definition

R-value measures a material’s resistance to heat flow. Higher R-values mean better thermal performance.

Benefits

• Key metric for achieving U-value targets.
  
• Helps specifiers select suitable insulation.
  
• Ensures compliance with energy efficiency regulations.
  

Applications

• ECO/CT, ECO/CW, ECO/MA, XtroLiner, Safe-R, Thin-R, FR/ALU, FR/MG boards.
  
• Used in walls, floors, pitched roofs, flat roofs, and drylining.
  

Best Practice Tips

• Consider the combined R-values of all building layers.
  
• Pair R-value with lambda values for accurate design.
