Insulation R-Values

Térmico Resistência

Learn R-Values

R-value measures thermal resistance—como bem a material resists heat flow. Higher R-values mean better insulation. Unlike thermal conductivity (qual measures como facilmente heat flows), R-value measures como bem heat é blocked.

Insulation R-Values per Inch

MaterialR-value/inch
Fiberglass battsR-2.9 to R-3.8
Cellulose (blown)R-3.2 to R-3.8
Spray foam (closed)R-6.0 to R-7.0
Spray foam (open)R-3.5 to R-4.0
Rigid foam (XPS)R-5.0
Mineral woolR-3.0 to R-3.3

Conclusão

R-values guia insulation choices—attics need R-38 to R-60 in cold climates, walls R-13 to R-21. Total R-value é additive, so multiple layers add up. Higher-performing spray foams achieve o mesmo R-value com menos thickness than traditional fiberglass.
