How R-Values Affect Energy Efficiency

by

Insulation is vital for home comfort and energy efficiency, measured by R-values indicating thermal resistance. Different insulation materials, like fiberglass, cellulose, spray foam, and mineral wool, have varying R-values. Proper installation and air sealing enhance effectiveness, impacting energy savings and overall performance. Consider environmental factors when choosing insulation.

Compare R-Value: Closed-Cell vs Open-Cell Foam for Your Home

by 2 Comments

When insulating your home, consider the R-value of the materials for energy efficiency and cost savings. Closed-cell foam has a higher R-value per inch, ideal for limited spaces, and maintains performance better over time. Open-cell foam is less expensive initially and provides good air sealing. Professional advice is essential for tailored recommendations.
