The R-value rule requires manufacturers to provide an R-value for their insulation, a measure of the amount of heat it will resist per square inch of thickness. Like resistance in electrical circuits, increasing the physical length (in this case thickness) of a resistive element increases its thermal resistance linearly; doubling the insulation’s thickness will double its R-value. However, this does not always hold for compressible materials such as fiberglass batts whose R-value drops by an amount proportional to their compression.
The Top Insulation Solutions Offered by AFT Insulation
R-values for cellulose and fiberglass insulation differ slightly but are generally similar. The highest R-values are achieved with vacuum insulated panels, aerogel and polyisocyanurate and phenolic foam insulation. These have R-values of up to 45 per inch. Loose cellulose, fiberglass and rock wool (both blown and in batts) have an R-value of up to about R-4 per inch.
Cellulose is produced from paper fibers, primarily recycled newsprint and cardboard. It’s made at plants across the country. Louisiana-Pacific, the first national marketer of cellulose under its Nature Guard brand, is giving it a big image boost by sponsoring a program that guarantees low heating bills for new homes insulated with the material.
